Sorority woman in Miss Universe Top Twenty
Last night, Cindy Marina, Miss Albania, made it to the top 20 in the Miss Universe contest. Marina is a volleyball player for the University of Southern California. She initiated into the Pi Beta Phi chapter at Duke University and affiliated with the chapter at USC when she transferred. Zozibini Tunzi, Miss South Africa, is the newly crowned Miss Universe 2019.
An afternoon spent watching Harper Lee’s book come to life
One of my P.E.O. sisters is supportive of the arts and she always brings tickets to local productions as her auction item in support of P.E.O. projects. I tend to win the items because I usually bid higher than face value. We used the tickets yesterday afternoon to see SIU Theater’s production of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee was a Chi Omega. The production was adapted by Christopher Sergel and it was directed by our friend and fellow Rotarian Segun Ojewuyi. It was an excellent performance. Kudos to all involved!
I suspected she was a sorority woman and I was right!
As I sat in the car waiting for my husband, I flipped through Life and Style of Southern Illinois, a slick magazine that comes quarterly with our newspaper subscription. I read this paid advertorial (that is a real thing, apparently) and was certain the doctor is a sorority woman. And she is! Dr, Kelli Webb, a plastic surgeon in southern Illinois, is a Sigma Kappa and an Order of Omega member. She includes that information on her official bio. I thank her for being a proud sorority woman!
I’d bet she was one of the Top 25 Seniors her graduation year, but I couldn’t find that info anywhere. SIUC you might want to take a clue from the University of Illinois and put those lists of Top 25 Seniors somewhere where people can see them, just like the Bronze Tablets.
