Can I also interrupt your forum to give my thoughts on "controversial" Convention speakers?

About 15 years ago, Chi Omega named Congresswoman Pat Schroeder a "Woman of Achievement" at a Convention. (Certainly, politically a controversial person.) She attended. Received the award. Gave a speech and was lovely. She recieved a standing ovation (not from 100%) but overall, was very well received. All should be able to agree she did "achieve" great things -- whether or not you would VOTE for her was another thing.
Very appropriate description! There are so many speakers I've applauded for the fact that they did make a difference - not that I applauded what the difference was.

I didn't know that Pat Schroeder was a Chi Omega, either!
