-Dixie Carter

-Leeza Gibbons

Does anyone know what Pres Bush is? a DEKE I think but I am not forsure

[Kevin]

If I recall correctly Pres. Bush was actually a member of a "Secret Society" not exactly a Greek Letter Org but close.

Hey ktsnake,

You are right about the secret society, George Bush and W. are both in the "skulls" (and I don't mean phi kappa sigma). But they are both Dekes too.

I knew the first Bush was in a secret society but I did not know about George W. I always heard he was a DEKE but never heard anything about him being in the secret society. That's really interesting

[CutiePie2000]

Delta Gamma has some good ones!

We have Julia Louis Dreyfus (Elaine from SEINFELD) and others.

I believe that Barbara Walters from THE VIEW is a Sigma Delta Tau.

[KarenC725]

I thought only the Bush daughter at Texas went greek?

[amycat412]

I thought George Senior was the Skull and George W the DEKE?

John Wayne-- Sigma Chi at USC!

Joy Behr (sp?), also of The View, is a Delta Zeta from Queens College. I wonder if Barbara Walters, Lisa Ling and the other View chickie are greek?

I seem to recall reading that Barbara was an A E Phi.

Jenna von Oy was in one of those terrible "sororities are full of witchy girls who are mean to pledges" movies. I can't remember the name of it, but it's been mentioned before on GC. I wonder if that was before or after she went greek?
