Eloise Gilmore is the twin sister to Rory. However, when Lorelai fled to Stars Hollow, she left behind Elsie. Of course, Emily and Richard raised Elsie like she was their own daughter and she was fine with seeing Rory and Lorelai on certain occasion...
It took a very long while to get Headmaster Charleston to change his mind on the suspension thing, because Elsie and the other 'pledges' had no clue that breaking and entering, because they were blindfolded so they were innocent.
According to Cassian, the Headmaster suspended Francie (for stealing his keys, breaking and entering, hazing...) and the other Puffs who had kidnapped Elsie and the others.
Elsie was glad because she wasn't going to lose her top one percent spot.

Richard had to go on a business trip to Akron, Ohio, so it left the girls to have another Friday Night Dinner.
Emily asked, "How's the meal?"
"Tasty," Rory said.
"Very tasty," Lorelai said. "New cook?"
"Yes, Marisella," Emily said. "She's introduced us to some wonderful dishes so charmingly specific to her native country?"
"What country is she from?" asked Lorelai.
Emily replied, "One of those little ones next to Mexico."
Elsie almost rolled her eyes, "She's from Belize, Grandmother."
"Too bad Grandpa's not here," Rory said. "He likes weird food."
Elsie didn't think Mexican food was weird.
"Yeah, where's he eating his weird food tonight?" Lorelai suggested, "Argentina? Morocco?"
"Akron," Emily replied.
"Ohio?" asked Rory.
Elsie asked, "What other place do you know called Akron?"
"So why is Grandpa in Akron?" asked Rory.
"They sent him to deal with some problem with their local office down there," Emily told Rory.
Lorelai said, "So, Dad's in Akron."
"Yes." Emily explained, "The amenities are atrociously lacking. He had to eat at a coffee shop last night. The whole thing's terribly insulting. He's miserable."
"I hate that he's miserable," Rory said.
"So do I," Emily said. "We really ought to do something."
"Yes, I agree," Rory said.
Lorelai said, "Warning, warning."
"I'm glad to hear you say that Rory, because I thought of a wonderful way to cheer him up," Emily said, ignoring Lorelai.
"Cool, what?" asked Rory.
Lorelai said, "Danger, Will Robinson, danger!"
Continuing to ignore Lorelai, Emily said, "An oil portrait of you for his study."
Rory said, "An oil portrait."
Lorelai said, "I tried, have fun."
"It could hang right over his mantle next to Elsie's," Emily said. "He'd just love it."
