Sisters

I keep my copy of Sisters next to my home computer especially for GreekChat.

While looking up something last night, I found a photo of Alpha Iotas from the 1930's that was pretty interesting. One of the "big" items at the sororities is large framed photos of their founders or such.

Now, I was fortunate enough to get to know the Alpha Iota Founder - Louise Heatherington, a wonderful lady - but there are no contemporary photos of Miss Heatherington & the other Founders. I was thinking that it would be very cool to get a copy of this photo and have it enlarged for the Suite.

Do you think EO would still have a copy of this photo? And why am I posting this here, instead of going directly to the source?

Do other chapters have photos like that?

Honey, contact EO and ask to speak with the archivist Karen Reece. She can point you in the right direction. I think that is a super idea for you to get that photo!

At UCLA, the girls have photos from the recent and not-so-recent past framed and mounted-- that also includes a little plaque explaining what the photo is from. It really shows the chapter and its growth through the years--- photos from room to room of the house!

Thank you! Since it's close to closing time (for we East Coast people!), I'll call or email her in the morning. I appreciate having the right name, though!

I know exactly where the photo would look best! For those of you who have Sisters, it's on page 74, and I actually restored that sign when I was an active!

Y'all have heard my Recruitment story a million times, but I never mentioned this: after my first round of parties, I talked to my mother about which ones I liked & didn't particularly like. When I told her that Kappa was nice, but oh, did I love the ADPis, she was quiet for a minute, then said something to the effect that she didn't know much about the ADPis except that they were Southern and very history-minded! I think that was what made going ADPi instead of Kappa okay in her book!

Let us know how you make out with your image!

I just spoke to the lovely Karen Reece, and we're going to try to do this digitally. If that doesn't work, we'll figure out another way.

She is truly a Super Sister! Violets to adpiucf for providing the connection!
