#FF Friday Follows – the Twitter Feed

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

I favorite a goodly number of twitter posts because they have info or pictures of interest. Here are a few of my favorite tweets from the last few days.

***

The first is about a fellow Pi Phi, but I would have used it whether or not we shared the arrow badge. Barbie is a wonderful and engaging speaker, and is equally gifted when writing speeches for others. In this TEDx presentation, she tells how to write an effect speech. It is worth watching. In the past couple of weeks, I used one of Barbie’s poems in a post. If you are interested, the post is at http://wp.me/p20I1i-1G9.

“The sun did not shine…” Apparently the cat in the hat stepped in when Theodor Geisel was in the room.  Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, was a Sigma Phi Epsilon. There is a post about him, along with another of my favorite pictures of him, at http://wp.me/p20I1i-bh.

I am including two tweets from Tri Delta. A wonderful gift to St. Jude’s was announced at Tri Delta’s recent convention. What an ambitious goal (which I absolutely positive will be reached) and a worthy cause. My hat is off to the Tri Deltas. Sarah Ida Shaw is smiling down on your good works.

And because I think the world of Eve Riley, former President of Tri Delta and NPC Chairman, I’m including this tweet.
