It's called "Dying to Belong"

Well, Gamma Sig doesn't have any celeb members (to my knowledge) like you all do. But when people ask I like to tell them about Mrs. Barbara Bush and Mae Jemison, who are honoraries.

Also people like to think that former First Lady Hillary Clinton is a Gamma Sig-probably because her hubby Bill is in Alpha Phi Omega and they're trying to get the brother-sister thang going on

I wish I could say that's true, but it's not!

Having posted a really long list the first time this question was asked on another thread, I'll just do this very short list:

Three Superbowl Winning Quarterbacks and MVP's

John Elway, Denver Broncos; Mark Riepen, Washington Redskins; and Jim Plunkett, whereever the Raiders were that year.

David Schwimmer from Friends, Matthew McCongnehey (sp?), Drew Carey and Will Ferrell from SNL are Delts.

You can see the whole list at http://www.delts.org./info/alumni.shtml

...you beat me to it! I wanted to say "HOW COULD ANYONE FORGET THE *CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED* DYING TO BELONG?" --- heeheehee -- you know that that was based on a real life, truth be told, absolute genuine false story??

What's next - the Texas V'Billies? Oh, I forgot...I already did that one
