Well, I looked at her real good b/c I thought that maybe she was in my chapter and I just didn't recognize her right away. Then when I determined that she wasn't in the chapter, I asked if she was a member of the sorority - expecting her to say yes since she came up and asked this strange question. She said "no" and informed me that four women at her job were members of the sorority and had been discussing an upcoming chapter meeting. I was further taken aback b/c there is more than one chapter in Chicago and I was wondering why she would ask me this anyway. I was like ????. It was such a weird incident. She just walked away as if she randomly asks members that she has never seen in her life if they attended their chapter meeting all the time.
It was bizarre.

Because I read the thread started by yellowflower, it sounds like the woman you met is perpin(sp?) to her co-workers. Since there are multiple chapters it sounds like she's preparing her lies for the office on Monday. Too bad you didn't get any more information about her, so you could give your sisters a heads up at her job and your alumnae chapters. This woman sounds like she suffers from the same thing yellowflower has I dub the mental illness pseudosororitysisteritis.
As for people being able to have access items to perpetuate this myth, maybe installing a requirement to have proof of membership (initiation number) might limit perp abuse or as in the case of yellowflower(if it's true) a lawsuit for fraud.
