THIS is what alumnae initiation is for! I love it. What a great story.

My mother became a Chi Omega at age 71. She, too, was from Bertie's generation. Her membership meant the world to her!

Below is the whole segment. Zeta just posted it on Facebook. Anderson Cooper gave her a turquoise bracelet and the Zetas received a 50 in flat screen tv for the house. Too cool!

How true Shirley. Thank goodness the timing was right for Bertie and ZTA to get reacquainted, but what a sad day for us all.
