I thought Dave Matthews is from the UK?

MysticCat 10-18-2002 02:33 PM

Dave Matthews is from Virginia, and I think he may be from Charlottesville. Can't speak to the Kappa Sig part, though.

Dave Matthews definately went to UVA, but I don't know about the Kappa Sig part. I'll ask around.

I have to agree.. I've never heard of any famous ASA alum... the only one I heard was Pamela Anderson Lee but I was then informed later that she never went to college so she couldn't have been an ASA... but it kinda makes me sad that we don't have anyone famous to claim...

Dave dropped out of High School at 16. He PLAYED fraternity parties at UVA in the early 90s, which is probably how that rumor started. But he did not go to college.

RIght on! :) He definitely did not go to college!

In reference to other comments:

1. I heard Dave Matthews was born in South Africa (thought the part about Virginia and fraternity parties is true).

2. I heard that Pamela Anderson started college to become a nurse, but never finished (obviously).

Just random things I hae heard.....correct me if I am wrong!:rolleyes:

Dave Matthews did grow up in South Africa before moving to VA. Maybe he just played Kappa Sig parties at UVA.

Dave Matthews
 
In light of all the Dave Matthews posts, check out his bio at the Dave Matthews Band Mailing List website. He did finish high school(in Johannesburg), he did not got to college, and the band got its start in Charlottesville.

Ladies,

There are almost certainly some famous people from your sorority. Maybe they're (you're) simply not hung up on name dropping.

You have some very good chapters on some of the campuses where I advise -- and in the long run, isn't that what is important?

A close friend of mine in high school went to South East Missouri State and pledged ASA there... She loved it!
