Thank you. This answers all of the questions I had about the original article.

Found this and several other pics on Zeta's facebook page. Also, they mentioned that the Anderson Cooper episode will be on Nov 3.

I hope she pinches Anderson's butt. Living to that age means you can get away with that shiz. :)

Here's the link to the ZTA facebook photos.

THIS is what alumnae initiation is for! I love it. What a great story.

My mother became a Chi Omega at age 71. She, too, was from Bertie's generation. Her membership meant the world to her!

FYI - I believe this story is on Anderson today. I noticed it in my lineup!

Here's the link to the episode.

Below is the whole segment. Zeta just posted it on Facebook. Anderson Cooper gave her a turquoise bracelet and the Zetas received a 50 in flat screen tv for the house. Too cool!

That makes me want to cry. So sweet!

It's lovely that they are setting up a scholarship in her name

How true Shirley. Thank goodness the timing was right for Bertie and ZTA to get reacquainted, but what a sad day for us all.

I'm sad that she didn't have more time to enjoy being a ZTA, but I'm glad she realized her dream of becoming a ZTA before she passed away.

I hope she rests in peace.
