Off hand, I do not know. I am sure a Tri Sigma should be able to answer that.

Maybe she was a... (wait for it)... an AI?

LOL. She went to UW. The Gamma Phi IHQ website says she was a member of Lambda Chapter. Lambda Chapter is at UW.

(I think it's easy to debunk the Tri Sigma membership with this one)

Jennifer Dunn was definitely a Gamma Phi Beta. She's been written about in our sorority's magazine many times and IIRC several years ago she was a special guest at at Founders Day event at her former chapter (Lambda - UW). She was also an alumna of my high school and my aunt knew her back in da' day.

Where was Ann Bowden an Alpha Xi Delta? Where did she go to college?

She's not. She, like als463 who listed her, is a Phi Mu.

Ann Bowden went to Howard College, now Samford.

And AlphaFrog has indeed won at this thread.

Ann Bowden was 16 when she ran across the Georgia state line with Bobby Bowden to get married. Was she an alum initiate?

She and Bobby later went to college, as MysticCat said. When he was president of Pike, she was president of Phi Mu. No, she was not an Alumna Initiate. She was initiated in college.

Bobby had already been to UA and was at Howard when they married. I just wondered about the sorority membership since I had always heard they ran off to Georgia to get married when she was 16. Live and learn.

That's all fine and well but, she is not an alumna initiate. You seem to know an awful lot about the Bowden family so, I'm shocked that you don't appear to know the answer to your own question. Why do you know so much about them?

What has that got to do with it? Many married people back then were college initiates. It went out of favor but some have lately. We don't have a rule against it.
