Congratulations Norma!

On June 11th, when we celebrated Peggy's 100th birthday, we had the privilege of presenting a 60-year member pin to Norma. Norma is a 1948 initiate of Gamma Epsilon chapter of Alpha Chi Omega at Oklahoma State University, and Peggy's neighbor at Westminster Oaks Retirement Community. Norma served many years as the Recruitment Advisor to OSU's Alpha Chi Omegas.

Congratulations, Norma, and thank you for your service to Alpha Chi Omega!

Happy 100th Birthday Peggy!

A group of us had the honor of attending fellow Alpha Chi Omega Peggy's 100th birthday party yesterday at Westminster Oaks. It was so nice to meet her friends and former co-workers! We learned some fun facts:

• Peggy was a real beauty! She was Miss University of Oklahoma her junior year in college, and still wears a tiara with style and grace.
• She was a pioneer in the career world. She moved to Chicago for her first job, directly after graduating from University of Oklahoma, and later served as personal secretary to four of Florida's State Attorneys General. 
• Peggy credits her longevity to having never driven a car. In Tallahassee, she lived downtown where she could walk to her office at the Capitol every day.
