Send a rose. Send a smile.
Thanks for sending Yellow Rose tribute gifts to Sisters! Recipients attending Convention will receive a physical yellow rose sticker in their on-site registration packet. Your yellow rose and greeting will be their first warm welcome to this historic event! Recipients participating in spirit will receive a digital greeting via email. Digital roses will be sent to members with an email address on file with Alpha Sigma Tau. If your recipients do not have an email address on file with Alpha Sigma Tau, we will be in touch with you to gather this contact information. You also have the opportunity to add their email address when you submit your gift information. The selling of yellow roses (traditionally in the form of stickers for Convention attendees to apply to their name badges) is an homage to the notable Elliott Sisters (Edith, Meda Ray, and Betty Gail, Omicron), who may be credited with conducting the first efforts of Foundation fundraising at National Conventions. The sisters, always sitting side-by-side, didn't allow their hands to be idle during the long days of Convention business. Each sat quietly, but diligently working, hand-making little yellow roses to be attached to the name badges of event attendees. The Elliott Sisters were generous but asked for a modest contribution to purchase a rose, one for yourself and more to share, with all proceeds benefiting the Foundation.
