This convention was the start of the tradition of convention tote bags, a tradition that stands today! This first year's was woven from Mexican straw and featured the state of Texas wearing a 10-gallon hat, Native American headdress and sunbonnet with a star of '68. As 879 attendees arrived, a downtown Dallas building spelled out "AXO" in lights. The favor of the Banquet Night was branding irons with our Greek letters. Votes saw the removal of the mandatory alumnae recommendation for potential new members.
