You get the idea.
These are two of the absolute WORST things an alumna can say in the presence of a collegiate member, especially if said alumna is actively working with a collegiate chapter.

(Disclaimer--if you are sharing memories of your college days or telling stories in some informal setting, that's not necessarily bad. But if you're doing it in the ways that OTW described, well, that is bad and not one bit of help to the chapter.)
