The return to convention after World War II was a grand event. The "Time and Progress" theme started off the first night, where attendees were seated by state. There were four formal dinners and three post-convention trips. This was also the first appearance of convention ribbons. National officers wore red ribbons, delegates green, red and green for members and white for nonmembers. Delegates voted to create a $5,000 scholarship for children with cerebral palsy. A $30,000 fund was designated for the Alpha Chi Omega Clubhouse, and a revision of the chapter officers manual was passed after disapproval of "discriminatory" chapter bylaws was expressed.
