Thetas in the News
Jennifer Kiersch, entertainer Amy Grant
Flaming Festival Welcomes Amy Grant |
It was told that if you mentioned aloud that Tamara Hermen was actually and truly a member of the Amy Grant Fan Club, Tamara would turn red. Tamara remained red-faced all day as Amy was the speaker/entertainer for Kappa Alpha Theta’s Flaming Festival, AND Tamara was honored as Theta of the Year. Fortunately, she looks good in red!
A crowd of some four hundred women attended the luncheon at OKC Golf and Country Club, during the Festival. Many came because they too were Amy Grant fans. No wonder! She was approachable, down-to-earth, extremely spiritual about her life, and just darling. Amy is married to Norman, OK native Vince Gill, who is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. . . . more |
JEANIE NELSON TOOK HISTORIC
STEPS AT VANDERBILT; NOW SHE
HELPS SAFEGUARD HER TENNESSEE
HOMELAND
In the spring of 1969, Jeanie Nelson graduated from Vanderbilt University. She was a member of the Alpha Eta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, and, as Theta sisters often do, Nelson and her friends formed a tight-knit bond, attending college events and participating in various activities together while living in the chapter facility.

Following commencement, Nelsonfound herself armed with an undergraduate degree in English and an opportunity to continue her adventures with four of her Theta sisters. They packed up to go to London, as two of them (including Nelson) had been selected to work for a year at a brokerage house in London. This opportunity had been extended to them by 1936 Vanderbilt alumnus Walter C. Wattles. (Wattles was the father of another Theta sister, Louise Wattles Moreland). . . . more
