Funny story. A few years ago, I was taking to someone who had attended her 50th college reunion. (Not my school.) She told stories that made me blush. Apparently, college after WWII was a really wild place.  There were lots of cute guys on the GI Bill who were looking for fun.

I'm from a young chapter so we don't have our chapter alumnae, but I've heard stories from our Nat'l convention and greek alumnae from my college. These women were probably in their 70s at least and telling us the most hair rasing things they did in college. So while yes, you should be polite, I also don't think you should be afraid to get into the hilarious stories if they bring them up. From carrying men into the dorm in carpets to how they broke the no drinking rules, they were just the funniest women I'd ever met. And part of them loved that there was a sorority connection so they could tell those stories, stories you don't want to tell your children or grandchildren, and that is a very neat connection.
