PRESIDENTIAL NUGGET TO IMPART ON NOVAC:

 Soror Grayson was the most quiet and cooperative of Sorors until some unsisterly behavior required her to take the chapter to task by sharing her strong sense of what is ethical and right in the behavior of Deltas toward each other. She demanded excellence to ensure equality of opportunity for all people.
