I *was* an XYZ...when I was in college

[DZRose]

I'm guilty of doing this also, even though I continue to be involved as an alumnae. For some people I think it means just what it did for that girl you talked to, something they did in college. For others, it's just the vernacular they use...

I always say "I am proud to be a Phi Mu"...and then add "I have a whole lot more fun since I am an alumna than I ever did when I was in college".

It usually opens up a whole thread of conversation, especially with those who "were" greek in college. I think I helped a few find their way back (my son's best friend's mom...who is an Alpha Xi)
