I agree with you about Lillian Benbow. As a 1 month old neo, still in college, I was invited to visit with her in HER ROOM at a regional conference. She wanted to hear about my experience as a pledge because she was going to crack down on hazing. From that point on, every time I saw her at a convention or conference she always stopped to acknowledge me by name. She was definitely the second biggest Delta influence (after my mother of course) in my life.
