#notablesororitywomen for #WHM Redux

For the month of March, I, with a little help from a few of my friends, produced a post a day, almost all of them about #amazingsororitywomen for #WHM (Women’s History Month). Please know that I lost some sleep over the #amazingsororitywomen hashtag because I know that some of these women are #amazingfraternitywomen and the hashtag #amazingsororityandfraternitywomen was too darn long. I put them all together in the category #amazingsororitywomen. The distinction is only recognizable to those who know the minutiae  of fraternity and sorority terminology.

These posts were not read by many people. Some of these women belong to a catergory I like to call “Unsung Heroines.” Most of them do not appear on the “Famous Alumnae” lists, but their lives are interesting nonetheless. Please pass along these posts to those who might like to know more about an Unsung Heroine of their organization.
