housemothers...
I recall when we hired Mother B from the KA's at Mizzou. The KAs
were a top house there and when KU played Mizzou we put up a
few KAs (they had no KU chapter) at the TKE house and they were happy to be--again--with "Mother B."
Mother Lesh had over 1,000 "boys" in TKE at Emporia; she retired
at 85--voluntarily. She "mothered" three generations...
I know many of us would always look up these housemothers in
subsequent years...and some made it to 100...
While we sometimes complained of the housemother system, it
was later that we realized how wonderful it really was. She was
our mentor at bridge and we escorted her to church weekly.
Do you, any of you, have any good housemother memories?
