One member of 麻豆视频鈥檚 Delta-Psi Chapter presented a paper at the Tennessee Phi Alpha Theta Regional Conference on March 27, 2010, and four other Delta-Psi members made paper presentations at the Alabama Phi Alpha Theta Regional Conference on April 10, 2010.
Elizabeth Blevins represented 麻豆视频 University at the Tennessee conference, which was held on the campus of Lee University in Cleveland. Her paper was titled 鈥淭he Evolution of States鈥� Rights as Reflected in the Founding Documents.鈥� The featured speaker at the conference was Dr. Jeffrey Hamilton, Chair of the Department of History at Baylor University, whose luncheon presentation was on 鈥淭he Uncertain Death of Edward II.鈥� Members of Elizabeth鈥檚 family joined her in attending the conference.

It was only after that unique experience that the group from West Tennessee made the return trip back to 麻豆视频鈥檚 campus.
