LOL. I read AOIIs facts. Coke's colors are NOT red and white because the founder of Coke's wife was an AOII. The closest fact to this story is that the daughter of the first bottler of coke was an AOII. There is still no evidence to show that Coca-Cola chose red and white because of that. Heather Whitestone is not an AOII either. She pledged AOII but never initiated. I wonder if any alumnae checked this thing before it went to print?

Oh dear. A lot of the sororities' facts are wrong--their nationals would die.

It starting out "upon death" made me laugh.

But generally, I was struck by the cuteness of the whole thing. Remember the sweet, naive anticipation of looking through your rush guide before you started?

Upon whose death? LOL.

AGD's fun fact is that AL lt. gov. Kay Ivey "is was an Auburn Alpha Gam."
I think their press deadline came up on them too fast for proofreading!

Funny! I was just going to look for the myths thread to post the link to this booklet. I can't believe how many groups have incorrect "Fun Facts." Maybe we should email our myth thread to the Greek LIfe office!
