Every female in my entire family was an Alpha Chi Omega (at various schools). I had pledge ribbons in my baby book! I went to Louisiana Tech University in 1982. At that time, my mother was the president of the Shreveport alumni group and was at the Alpha Chi Omega house in Ruston while I was going through rush. They all told me how wonderful my mother was (which I very much appreciated), but the other sororities seemed to like me for ME.
I'll never forget the day that I had to call home and tell my mother that I had pledged Sigma Kappa. I know that I broke her heart (sounds silly, huh? It's not--not in my family, anyway), but when I came home to visit and brought her that "Sigma Kappa Mom" coffee mug, she drank out of it the very next morning.
