I was at a picnic in my parents' neighborhood after I graduated, and talking to a girl I didn't know who was heading off to Penn State. Gave her my standard, "look into sororities, but no matter what you do, join SOMETHING or you'll get lost up there" speech. Didn't mention ASA specifically, because greek letters wouldn't mean a thing to a high school girl in suburban Philadelphia. Plus there were 16+ groups, and what were the chance this girl would fit in at ASA or that ASA would even be the same group as when I was there?
A year or two later, I got a pledge envelope from my sorority soliciting funds for the PSU Dance Marathon, and on it was a handwritten note: "Hi! I took your advice and checked into sororities, and ended up joining ASA. Was surprised to see your picture in the scrapbook - didn't know you were an ASA, too."
Felt all warm and fuzzy, and of course sent her a big (for me) check for Dance Marathon.
