AOII Roll call

Welcome, Angela. Please check out the Baltimore AC. I have a friend in that chapter and they are a great bunch of women.

Also, Lambda Tau is doing pretty well. They are in the mid-70s which is about the average chapter size. Total is 60. It is nice to see the school as a whole on the upswing.

Thanks y'all. I'm glad to hear LT is doing well. I know it's hard since the dorm was taken away. We have our 50th anniversary coming up next year! Also, I can't wait to join an alum chapter when I get to Baltimore. My husband is just starting to understand that AOII means a lot to me. He's never heard me talk so much about it until I found out we were moving to Baltimore about a year ago. He just shakes his head...he was 13 in college....he doesn't understand. He should though. Med school was like a fraternity for him. He was 17 and lived in a house with 3 other guys. They had parties every weekend. Anyway...

Hi, Angela! Sorry we got off on the wrong foot. Welcome to GC and I hope you enjoy Baltimore. My husband is a physician also. Is yours finished with school and residency yet? My husband was not greek in college but was in a medical fraternity called "Atlas" and I will say it helped him survive med school. He really loved that group of guys.

I'm sorry, but I must admit I thought the same thing! Angela, you can tell your hubby that we're mighty impressed that he was smart enough to marry an AOII!

No problem, irishpipes...I hope there are no hard feelings! Check the message...I edited it for you!
As for my husband...yeah he was kind of a Doogie Howser. We're both MDs. I met him when I was a fourth year student and he was a third year student. He was 19 and I was 24! Let's just say my mom was not thrilled. Stephen is done with residency now and has been practicing internal medicine at the VA for a year waiting for me to finish my radiology residency. We're moving to Baltimore so he can start a pediatric endocrinology fellowship at Johns Hopkins (he did his residency in Med/Peds by the way.) I'm just going into private practice general radiology. Now he's 26 and I'm 31.

Anyway, I'll finish the story since I'm sure I'll get asked. Stephen started med school at 17 because he dropped out of grade school at 13. His mom said he couldn't just stay home so she drove to a neighboring town to get him into another school (the first just pissed him off....that's why he quit.) She turned the wrong way off the interstate and ended up on Louisiana Tech's campus. She stopped and asked if her son could start full time in college at 13, and they said yes. So, he started college at 13 and graduated at 17. And, he doesn't even have a high school diploma or GED!
