In 1913 Southern Wesleyan University was in her seventh year of existence.
On July 29, 1913, two mothers went into labor on the same day and both gave birth to baby girls, Sue Binns and Willyne Correll. In 1930, the two girls met during
roll call of class on the campus of the univesity. Sue and Willyne quickly learned they shared the same birthday and a friendship began. Recently, Sue and Willyne
celebrated their ninetysixth birthday and learned they share more than a birthday, they share the honor of being recognized as the oldest female alumnae of SWU.
A group of faculty, staff, administrators, alumni and friends gathered in Charlotte, N.C., to celebrate. The Alumni Association, along with SWU President David Spittal, recognized these ladies and expressed great appreciation for their faithfulness to the university.
