Lynn,

I think this honorary app was before 2002. But when the
secretary said "I approved that yesterday," she probably
meant she completed the paperwork and sent the letter
yesterday, after someone else "official" had approved it.

Then again, the GHZ could delegate some authority like
that I guess....instruct HQ/secretaries "if the following
is satisfied, go ahead and approve" Not sure exactly
what happened.

Our chapter has a "bad?" reputation for honoraries....an
ELC back in the late 80s told us we had more than all
the chapters on the west coast combined....probably true!

But most of them are faculty members, so its good to get
them involved with the chapter. One of our faculty honoraries,
who moved on to Alabama (I think) a long time ago just
received the Order of Merit at last GA (I believe). We didn't
even realize he was "one of ours" until the article about him
came out in the C&C. He's spent the last few decades working
with a chapter(s) down south and we haven't heard from
him for years.
