Interesting Run-in

i meant to post this when it happened, but i totally forgot. this occured right around the time of anchor splash this year (april). i was in mcdonald's with my boyfriend in roxboro, nc and this older couple was behind us. the man sat the woman down in a booth and got behind us in line. i was wearing my anchor splash tee shirt and after i ordered he turned to me and said, "i married a '38 delta gamma." well, i just thought that was the sweetest thing ever and it just about brought tears to my eyes because he had to have been in his upper eighties. well, he never actually noted that the woman he was with was the DG that he had married, so i didn't ask any questions. but when we were leaving, i waved good-bye to him (the woman who was with him went to the bathroom). when i waved, he said, "she's in the bathroom...she should be coming out soon." as soon as he said this, his wife was coming out. so i walked up to her and introduced myself and let her know that i was with the NCSU chapter. she had obviously been following us because she knew that we were new. she told me that she was a DG at purdue. i had to run, but i told her it was very nice to meet her and that it made my day. i was just blown away because i had met one of my sisters that was old enough to be my grandmother. when i got in the car with my boyfriend, i told him, "see, if you marry a delta gamma, then you live forever!"
