We were also told that Barbra Streisand was Phi Mu and that Marie Osmond was an honorary Phi Mu at Bringham Young. I don't think either is true, but I sure believed it back in the day.
Marlo Thomas is a Theta

Her daughter is a Chi Omega from UNC Chapel Hill

I always heard that's why she was flying a kite at the beginning of That Girl. Is that part urban legend?


I had such a crush on her in That Girl.

It is NOT an urban legend that Kenny Chesney joined and initiated into Lambda Chi Alpha.

However, every Lambda Chi I knew in college told me that he deactivated/cancelled his membership/whatever it's called in LXA. Yet, he is claimed on their national website.

Any LXAs confirm/deny?

Kenny Chesney went to East Tennessee State University, which is where I went, though Kenny was about 10 years after me. He did pledge Lambda Chi and get this -- my nephew was Sig Ep president the year Kenny rushed and they did not give him a bid! See, it can happen to anyone. :)

Kenny is listed on Lambda Chi's National website under Prominent Members. He also mentions Lambda Chi in the song "Keg in the Closet." It doesn't sound like he has left the organization, but hopefully a Lambda Chi can confirm.

Thats funny, there was a Sig Ep at my school who is Kenny Chesney cousin. I had always heard he left school and that he still owed some dues so he was on financial suspension. But he was on the cover of the cross and crescent about 5 years ago with a full interview so i guess everything is copacetic

I seriously think I've seen her claimed by half of the NPC groups at one point. She's a popular one. lol.
But Carrie Underwood is, even wore her letters in the All-American Girl video, and IMHO is much cooler than SJP (blech)

AlwaysSAI 07-20-2011 12:52 PM
If I remember correctly, Carrie Underwood was the Keynote Speaker at one of Sigma's conventions.

I like SJP.

HannahXO 07-20-2011 01:04 PM
Huh, I always heard Carrie was a Tri-Delta, but apparently she is actually a Sigma. Cool!

Yep. She (who's from Alpha Iota at Northeastern State) was keynote speaker in 2007! She even stayed til 2 am to sign autographs for everyone. She also continues to be one of our most generous Foundation donors.

While we have many an African President, Nelson Mandela is not one of us.

That was a big rumor before the internet.

Oh and Morris Chestnut isn't either.

I never heard that about Megyn Kelly. She did attend Syracuse though.

He better be one by centennial! I can't deal with him not being a Sigma.
