National Events

The National Convention of Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc. takes place annually at a predetermined location and is organized by the National Convention Committee, whose members are active undergraduate and alumnae Sisters.

The National Convention welcomes all undergraduate and alumnae Sisters to come together for educational and recreational workshops, events that focus on the empowerment, leadership, and philanthropy of Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc. Though each year the designated theme is different, the overall goal is to unite Sisters and keep them up-to-date with all Sorority related matters.

As a means of acknowledging the roles and accomplishments of our sisters, in May 1989, Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc. began the tradition of the annual banquet (awards ceremony). This awards ceremony, which later became known as the annual Scholarship Excellence Awards Formal (S.E.A. Formal), is the most acclaimed celebration of the year; highlighting and recognizing the year’s award recipients and showcasing a celebration like no other. It allows sisters from all regions to come together while enjoying the splendor of being part of our enchanting sisterhood.

Through this celebration, we acknowledge monumental events taking place throughout the preceding year; honoring those Sisters who have gone above and beyond in the areas of academic and leadership accomplishments, as well as those who have demonstrated selfless dedication to provide service in their communities.

The Annual Mermaid’s Marinade is held every August at a designated park chosen by the planning committee. The event was created to bring Sisters, friends and family together in a relaxed environment filled with food, games, activities, music and bonding.

The committee decides a theme and communicates this to the organization; encouraging sisters to participate and join in on the fun. The event is free, unless otherwise advertised.
