description

Amy Owen graduated from Wake Forest University in 1983, double majoring in Sociology and Politics. Owen was a member of Strings, a social society for women. She recalls the rush process as being busy but relaxed considering pledges were not subjected to as many "intense" activities or parties. As a part of Strings, she learned about the women's field hockey team and eventually joined. At the time, the team was only a club team but they played historically competitive groups like UNC. While Title IX was enacted at the time, few women from Owen's high school played sports at the college level. In this interview, Amy Owen reflects on her time at the University, recalling fun memories with String sisters while also focusing on how much the school has changed in the years following her graduation.
