that is a great idea. i think it also makes something a little more personal when you know you're working for a cause that was affecting another sister, even if you don't know that sister personally. i know AEPhi adopted the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatrics AIDS Foundation as one of its national philanthropies b/c Elizabeth Glaser, an alumna of AEPhi was the founder of the Foundation (she caught AIDS from a blood transfusion and unknowingly passed it on to her children).
