Green coincidences
A recently-graduated brother from the Fiji chapter I advise proposed about a month ago to his longtime girlfriend, an Alphi Chi who attended U. of Missouri. His grandmother had left three beautiful rings in her estate to Zach and his two siblings to choose from when they came of age. Zach, being the oldest, chose first, his grandmother's actual engagement ring, a beautiful old Europen-cut round center stone with smaller marquis-cut stones on either side, all in platinum. It was given to her by his grandfather about 1923 or 24.
Before Zach gave it to her (about a month ago) he wanted to find out more about the details of the ring. To his surprise, his grandmother--who had graduated from Indiana University in 1922--had been a member of Alphi Chi Omega there! He told me that he realized then that there was a reason he had chosen that ring from the three available.
A happy coincidence, huh?
