Time clarification: Miss Teen California, USA...I'm not sure what graduated several years before I began at this school. (I believe that would have graduated in '68 or so). I wasn't there yet. She was famous on the row and in the house for her beauty and intelligence. I know that she was pinned to a fraternity boy because of the pictures but beyond that..........I didn't "know" her. Was she famous because she was Black? No. She was a beauty queen which, at that time, held great cache. And, according to house legend was one of the nicest girls ever.
Pat and I shared only one year in the house. During the second quarter she made an announcement in chapter meeting her problem of reconciling her membership in the BSU and the sorority. SHE said that on campus she would not/could not acknowledge us. And we, in accordance with the times, agreed to let her follow through on this decision.
I graduated. I do not know what happened after that. Was I offended? Yes.
