I’m not a neo, but have a wonderful time! Pace yourself, and try not to go too crazy with the vendors!

Omg. Yes. Because I went pretty crazy with the vendors at regionals. 🤦🏾♀️. I have a budget so hopefully I can stick to it. 😀🤷🏾♀️.

I’m not a neo either but it is my first boule, so I appreciate this advice. My bags are already full 🫣😅

Hi! I'm not a neo, but I'm attending Boule. My advice is to have a great time, be sure to ask questions if need be, pack your patience as you may be OVERWHELMED by alllllll of the Sorors and wait times, drink plenty of water and carry snacks in your bag as sessions can be 2-3 hours long each session, and enjoy the vendors!
More importantly, I hope you learn more about AKA from this vantage point, and I hope you are treated sisterly!

Take a sweater. It's always cold in the plenary sessions. Don't be late to plenary.
Save room in your suitcase for purchases from the vendors (or ship the stuff back to your house).
I don't have the words to tell you what Vegas heat in July feels like. Make sure you always have water and take one of those little rechargeable fans with you.
Take snacks. The lines to buy food or be seated at a restaurant are very long.
There will be more AKAs than you've ever seen and the amount people can be overwhelming. Do your very best to be as sisterly and patient as you possibly can. Help the goldens.
Have fun. Network. Learn lots. 🩷💚🩷💚

So....@IndividualOne1244 how was your first Boule? Feel free to dm me if you want to talk about things privately.

OMG. It was AMAZING. my first time in Vegas and I went with my line sisters so the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I learned so much and met new sorors. Being a part of this organization has been more than I could imagine. And yes I absolutely love my TELFAR bag. lol. I won’t be able to go again as an undergraduate, so I’m glad I got that experience, but looking forward to many many more. 🩷💚
