Dear Mary Poppins,
Thank you! You're totally right. I'd forgotten the best part of the story. (And now that others have followed-up so diligently, I do recall hearing her sister pledged DDD.) The image of Mobley driving up to Oxford (in a convertible I heard at the time), marching into the Chi-O house and removing her picture is just too delicious. Maybe my age is showing, but seems like the stuff today is so boring in comparison. It's either poor grades or drinking or drugs or sex or some other tired misbehavior that takes too much time and energy and gives little in return. These current tales of woe are not the rush stories we live to re-tell. They're sad and mundane. No inspiration. But Mary Ann Mobley is still my hero. And so are all the participants in this drama. Even the Chi-O's. Imagine. The audacity to cut Miss America's sister! Takes guts. And the Tri-delts walked away a winner with a great pledge and valued member to this day. What's not to like about this story!
Ole Miss Sorority rush is the best.
