Exactly! I like the idea of knowing where, for example, the sisters who were seniors when I pledged are in their lives. We aren't close, but we're sisters and I would want to hear good news in their lives. Thanks to my alumni magazine, I've been able to reconnect with older sisters, hallmates, and friends who graduated earlier--I'm grateful for that opportunity!
After all, isn't that the point of an alumni magazine?
My college uses "marriage," as the vast majority of announcements I've seen are for heterosexual couples; I imagine the Massachusetts ruling will change the way such things are worded for same-sex unions.
