Patsy Ramsey is the woman who many people believe killed her daughter, Jon-Benet Ramsey. Jon-Benet was 5 or 6 (I think) and was a pageant girl.

Corbin, you are right I think.

Yeah, Corbin, you're right. My brother just got initiated into Lambda Chi. He told me that there's a section of famous Lambda Chi's in the Paedagogus(did I spell that right?) and Clein was on the list!! What a cutie!!

I think it'd be obvious that I didn't pledge her, but Betty Crocker was a DZ.

Jen :-)

I am not an Alpha Gamma Delta (but one of my best friends is) and I believe she ssaid that Amber(?) on Survivor is an Alpha Gam!

Yes, Lots-a-heart, you are right, Amber Brkich is an Alpha Gamma Delta from Westminster College in PA. Though she has been getting mixed reviews about her association with Jerri Manthey, her Westminster sisters faithfully watch her every week at a local bar & grill (no alcohol is served of course). It got so popular that they began charging admission, and all proceeds benefit the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation!

I haven't seen the new Paedagogus yet. We ordered some for our new freshmen, but haven't gotten them yet. The cool thing about Chris Klein though, is that he is an active, and I believe he was famous before he joined. Most, if not all, of the others in the list became famous after the fact.

From every interview I have ever seen of Britney Spears - she has stated she would have liked to attend college but decided not to.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by PhiBetaBaby
I think that many of you are missing some basic knowledge about Britney's image...

She is *NOT* the one with the control over what she wears. As a music business student, I can assure you that when you see her in public, her publicists and image makers (managers, agents, the record company she works for, etc.) have told her exactly what to wear and the proper way to act to portray the image they're trying to have her keep.

Actually...I was in Destin on vacation at the same time her and her family were and she wears that kind of style (or lack of) even when she isnt performing or giving interviews.

britney not withstanding...
 

did clinton's daughter pledge while an undergrad?
and i'm not even going to go to the britney special or the cover of the rolling stone...
eek.
mmcat:eek:

Ok, since apparently this is now "Brittany Spears Chat" I will add the rumour I heard....Apparently I heard that her younger sister will be attending LSU along with her cousin. Not actually Brittany...but who knows.

I can't believe I'm actually responding but..Britney's sister is like 11 so I don't think anyone will be rushing her anytime soon.

since when did christianity require clothing??? just asking...if you consider yourself a christian...i think that you are the one that is the "hypocrite" by not accepting her "as-is"...as god made her...without clothes...:)

Any wrestling fans? Remember Bobby "The Brain" Heenan? His daughter was a pi phi at Alabama. I think that's as close as we've come. (Until I become famous that is :))

Oh and I've been hearing the Britney/LSU/Chi O rumor for several years now. Kinda far fetched to me. Would YOU attend college and pledge a sorority if you were as busy as her? She didn't even attend high school for the last two years, so COLLEGE? I doubt it.

Hate to be the one (possibly) to break the news, but Betty Crocker does not exist/not a real person.

Sarah

I know this is an ancient post, but could someone please tell me what is meant by "even a DZ"? Is this a compliment? A slam? A typo?

Sarah, you're partly correct.

To clear up any misconceptions: Betty Crocker was not a Delta Zeta since she (Betty Crocker) is actually a promotional advertising character created in 1921. HOWEVER, Mercedes Bates, a Delta Zeta alumna from the University of Oregon, was the first woman corporate officer of General Mills. Ms. Bates was often referred to at the company as "Betty Crocker" as she was the Vice President in Charge of the Betty Crocker Division. She was President of the American Home Economics Association and its foundation and was the 1970 Delta Zeta Woman of the Year. :)

alot of hatas walking around in here on Britany Spears :rolleyes:

if you keep on hatin...that just fills up her pockets a little more. remember when people hated on madonna??? she blew up.

i personally like her, there are plenty of hypocrites that claim to be god fearing that are fully dressed.

that is my cents....

I think she was referring specifically to the Greek system at LSU. While DZ is in the top 5 or 6, KD and DDD are traditionally thought as a little higher on the social ladder.

It wasn't meant as a slam, it was just referring to the percieved social order around here.

I don't go to LSU, so I don't know about the social ladder, but I do know that the Sigma chapter at LSU has won many awards in Delta Zeta for being a chapter that receives consistently high ratings in our organization. :)

Also, one of my alumnae chapter sisters who is a 2000 graduate of LSU told me a few months ago that DZ won the Order of Omega for Outstanding Sorority of the Year this year. This award is one of the biggest honors that Sigma has ever earned on the LSU campus.

At the LSU Organizations Banquet, the DZ chapter was honored as the Most Outstanding Social Sorority at LSU. Every organization on campus (over 200 of them) nominates a sorority who is known on campus as an outstanding sorority, and is most involved on campus.

I think it's a great honor to be recognized by other Greek organizations on your campus! :D

Juniorgrrl, since you're currently at LSU, can you please tell me any further info about this particular award? I'd like to see if my alma mater might be interested in doing something along the same lines as LSU does.

Thanks! :)

My chapter pledged Goldie Hawn in the 70s, but she was never intitiated (something about drugs/sex in the chapter room...). Her real name is in our Bond Book...

Umm.... also, Dawn Wells (MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island) was an Alpha Chi! So's Laura Innes (from ER)... go us :)

AGD has initiated Carly Simon and Carol King, along with Amber from Survivor 2. Rumor has it that while Madonna attended UM she pledged AGD, but we couldnt find her name in the books.

As far as Britney Spears, none of us know what kind of sorirty girl she will or wont be, but if she did decide to become one, give her a chance. After all she might be a better one than many who we know in our chapters already. I have to say that although I dont like some of the things she does (or I should say what the media says she does), I like her. And truthfully , if many girls had a body like that, they probably being showing just as much too. And someone was rgith when they said she really doesnt have a choice. Its what consumers and her industry wants. If she went againts it, she could lose alot.

Along with Sela Ward, we (Chi Omega) also have Lucy Liu from U of Michigan, Shelly Long, Cybill Shepard, and Joanne Woodward (Paul newman's wife). Go us!

As for Britney Spears-I told myself I wouldn't say anything, but I got sucked in:D -I personally like her. While I don't think too highly about how she dresses, I like some of her songs. They're just good cheezy fun. But I 'm still not sure I'd want her as a sister. Yes she could bring media attention to whatever chapter she pledged, but it doesn't take much for the media to spin things in an unpositive way. And I still can't get over the shoestrings she wears and calls clothes. My gosh! My mom wouldn't let me leave the house in some of the outfits she puts on! Anyhoo, who knows, if she ever did go to college and pledge , she could wind up to be a great sister. Who can say?

I thought the question was about your specific chapter.

HAHAHAH

Girl, you need to get a life. I was with you all the way until the end. I think Britney Spears seems like such a sweet girl. We have a thread on this board "For the non virgin ladies...." And yet how many of us would wear a "Non virgin" shirt around campus. Many wouldn't because that is not the image that we want to portray of ourselves. So let's not be hypocritical. I concur fully that her "naughty" image is manufactured by what is socially demanded of her. She is a very strong woman to be coming this far, dealing with fame at a young age, and deflecting a barrage of criticism. She works hard, she is 20(?). Let her enjoy herself. We are not to judge a sister, but take her by the hand and lead her in the right direction. Sororities are a support system for the period of "finding oneself" in college. I believe more than anything Britney would need something like this as she is dealing with a much larger pool of social pressure.

ChiOmegaChick-

All I can say is wow. You joined a sorority for the wrong reason. It 's people like yuo that give chapters nationally a horrid reputation for being superficial. Granted, I was a debutante and I love my Tiffany's and Kate Spades, I would never pride myself of these things. I have intelligence and strength supporting the letters of my chapter.

Plus you just made yourself look quite immature and naive. Your chapter is definitely not the "best looking, richest, yada yada" chapter on my campus. But I admire these girls because of their close sisterhood and how much they support EVERY other chapter. If money and looks is all that holds your chapter together...what would you do 30 years from now when your hair has grayed and your stock investments have bombed? I know in this case, I could still turn to sisters. What would you do?

Maybe I am going overboard, but it makes me absolutely livid when I see people publically detracting from all that people like myself do to make non greeks see how wrong the steroetypes are. This post could also have to do with the fact that I am just realizing what an immense amount of politics is involved in NPC sororities. It tears chapters apart. Let's get back to the basics folks!

OOOH. Sorry, I am retarded and misunderstood. My apologies. In that case, we are a relatively new chapter and we don't have any yet! PS: Wine and Blue, I hope you do become famous so you can post about yourself and so our chapter can boast another famous member!;)

I'll be happy to let you boast. But we have to find me a talent first. Wait - I have big boobs. Maybe I could be the next Britney.:D

Jenna Bush is currently a Theta at University of Texas...
My particular chapter at UT pledged Dagney Holtgreen who used to be an E! anchor woman until a few years back. She graduated I think the year before I pledged.

I think that might actually be true-I worked for a restuarant in Ft worth and he came in one day with Katie Holmes(his then GF, i don't know if they are still together) and one of the girls I used to work with is/was friends with him. This was probaly 2 years ago, she is an AXO I believe, and made a comment about him being at a mixer. But yeah, I believe he is Greek, just can't remember which one.

My chapter pledged the sister of a superstar, but let's just say she didn't stay initiated very long. I don't know the details and wouldn't share them here anyway, but I think that her behaviour didn't fit our vows.

I saw her and her sis a few years ago at the mall. Not sure I would have even said anything to her if I knew she was an active sister..I wouldn't have wanted her to think I was being nice to her b/c of her sister. Esp. since we weren't in school at the same time.

Wonder what she's doing these days, maybe I should send a letter to sis's fan club, lol!

My chapter hasn't ever initiated someone "famous", but this semester we had a member of the varsity basketball team pledge our chapter.

This hasn't happened very often at our school since it is quite anti-greek and the general consensus among the coaches is to discourage atheletes from joining fraternities and sororities as well.

That's great! I think that coaches probably think that Greek life would hinder the amount of time and effort that the athelete would be able to devoted to the sport.

In a way I understand, but the coach has to understand that the athelete is also a college student who should be able to take advantage of the Greek experience..after all, in many cases, the sports career ends at graduation while we all know that being Greek is for a lifetime.

Hello I know this is a little old topic but I just wanted to say that Chris Klein from american pie is a Lambda Chi Alpha and I think it is at TCU my best friend is also the president of one of the chapters Lambda Chi and has actually met him when they went up there to party with them. He said he is actually a pretty cool guy and no one up there thinks of him as huge celebrity he is just a normal guy and he also has a brother that supposedly looks just like him who is also a Lambda Chi.

LOL...this topic has taken a sidebar. But, that is TOO funny! Isn't she like 20? Shouldn't she atleast have had a tutor so she could've gotten her highschool diploma? Anywho, don't mind me, just laughing out loud.
