Would you be in a hurry to see a 90 year old woman in a catsuit? *shudder*

I think this is a lovely thing to do, no matter what the details are. The ZTA Washburn chapter must be a classy group of ladies!

Wow, she'd be really annoyed that we had a national council member who had the temerity to transfer and only be active after two years as an active collegian. :rolleyes:

Most girls who initiate and then transfer/drop out/leave school the next semester DO NOT do it because they want to leave their sorority. Either they change majors to something the current school doesn't offer, or don't make grades, or have family issues, or lose their $$$ source. It's not very "sisterly" to say that these people are undserving of alumnae status, ESPECIALLY if family or schooling is involved, as that's something that I think all sororities would say comes before your membership. They sometimes are better sisters and better sources of support than girls who stay around all 4 years...

Well then, perhaps her chapter should get a smaller house so it won't be thrown into a maelstrom if someone's dad loses his job and she can't come back to school. Sorry, but for as rarely as it happens - and as I said, not usually for reasons the member is happy about - bitching about something like that is just plain straight up bitchy, house issues or not.

On a more positive note, this woman can still have an active alumna life. Our eldest sister became active in an alumnae chapter when she was 100 until she passed at 103 and got to witness her DIL get initiated through AI. I met her DIL at a District Day.

OK, I found a pic on Zeta's Facebook page of the luncheon but I can't get it to attach. Any suggestions?

Was this the photo?

Awesome!!! Thanks. It was driving me crazy on figuring out how to post a pic.

[On a Mac] I right-clicked and selected 'Copy Image Location' and pasted the URL here. HTH!

Presumably because of the national spread of, and interest in, the story, Anderson Cooper, no less, will be interviewing her. So she gets her dream of becoming a Zeta, and a few minutes of chatting with an actual Vanderbilt. Air date not certain, AFAIK. Just another fun thing about a warmfuzzy story.

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.
