Sue Armstrong Shares Memories
(Continued from page 3)
looking for him, and my dad was beside himself. When Tom came
back to the house the next day, my dad was so glad to see that he was
ok," Sue says with a laugh.
Another thing that has changed are rules about dates and housemother
duties. "When there were big date party weekends, dates would move
in and the boys would move out. My mother would stay at the house
to monitor. She would receive calls from the women's colleges
where the dates were from and she would assure them that all the
men and women were being properly chaperoned. Oh how times have
changed!" says Sue. "Of course, the men cared about their reputation
and there was never any trouble."

the men of Theta Xi
in 1947.
Len and Bee's kindness to the Alpha Chapter lasted for decades. They
were best man and maid of honor at countless weddings. The pledge
class of 1947 gave Bee a silver dining tray to thank her for her hospitality. In 1970, Len became only the fifth brother from Alpha Chapter to be bestowed with
the fraternity's highest honor when Theta Xi elected him into the Order of the Unicorn for his
lifelong efforts.
Sue says the Theta Xi Chapter will always have a special place in her heart. She met her husband Dean "Meathead" Armstrong '51 (A742) when he was a young freshman on campus.
"My father was college roommates with his father, Wesley Armstrong '22 (A321), and he
gave us a call when he first got to town. We first met at the dinner table," says Sue.
Sue hasn't been back to Troy for 30 years, but she does want to come to the 6294 celebration
in the spring. She is thrilled to hear that the chapter is doing so well, and knows that her parents
would be thrilled, too. E-mail: sude@frontiernet.net
