I know that this is saying that she wasn't a member - but just as a sidenote - in the book Model she says she got a modeling job because the person hiring her was impressed that she went to Sophie Newcomb. How did that work? Were the chapters actually at Sophie Newcomb or Tulane?

The chapters were/are at the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College of Tulane University. Non-Newcomb (Architecture and Engineering) female undergrads were able to join. [Although traditionally there are not many female students in those colleges.] B-school undergrads spend their 1st 2 years at Newcomb before transfering to b school so it was not an issue. Post Katrina renewal plan (reorganization), all undergraduates are members of Newcomb-Tulane Undergraduate College of Tulane U regardless of major.
