So I met Nancy Grace last night...

at a birthday party. And I have to tell you, ladies, she is one class act! Very low key, EXTREMELY easy to talk to-I really regret not being able to spend more time with her. We talked about several things, among them ADPi, but I never got a chance to ask her any questions about her work, and I SO would have enjoyed that. We talked for about 20-30 minutes, off and on, as other people came up. Oh-when I introduced myself and told her I was an ADPi from Georgia Southern, she immediately hugged my neck, grabbed my hand, and gave me the ADPi handshake. She was very understated, very "uncelebrity acting"-she represents us well, sisters!

I was at a law school fair yesterday and I thought of NG when I passed by the Mercer table!

I was flipping channels last night and stopped when I saw her show was on - I'm also going to ask for her book for Christmas this year

I think she'd be an awesome speaker at Convention, don't you?

Seriously, doesn't it make you wanna be someone "higher up" so we can get her to speak at convention.

Did you tell her you knew her college classmate, "NutBrnHair?!?" Oh...wait...she knows me by a different name. Nevermind.

Can I also interrupt your forum to give my thoughts on "controversial" Convention speakers?

About 15 years ago, Chi Omega named Congresswoman Pat Schroeder a "Woman of Achievement" at a Convention. (Certainly, politically a controversial person.) She attended. Received the award. Gave a speech and was lovely. She recieved a standing ovation (not from 100%) but overall, was very well received. All should be able to agree she did "achieve" great things -- whether or not you would VOTE for her was another thing.

Very appropriate description! There are so many speakers I've applauded for the fact that they did make a difference - not that I applauded what the difference was.

I didn't know that Pat Schroeder was a Chi Omega, either!

Only one commenter outrightly stated she didn't like NG. The rest were constructive thoughts.
