hoosier: Thanks for posting this. I actually had (still have) this site bookmarked.
I believe that Life Magazine took some liberties by stating Miss Garland was "initiated" as a member. And to be clear, she was elected the Sweetheart for the Alpha Gamma chapter (Ohio State) and not the whole Fraternity.
I don't know if there was anything "official" in place at the time, but given that she was 14 years old, and not a student at Ohio State, my guess is that this may have been an honorary title. Which many chapters have bestowed on other worthy ladies as well.
