Fact: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is an AEPhi.
Fact: Senator Barbara Boxer is a DPhiE.

Not too shabby! :)

For a long time my sisters told me Kelly Clarkson (American Idol) was an Alpha Phi. However I decided to research this online and I don't think she even went to college. Can anyone definitively confirm or deny this for me?

The only famous women confirmed by ZTA nationals to be sisters are on our website: http://www.zetataualpha.org/famous.htm *but realize the site is rarely updated and they do have a link for reporting known famous alumnae*

As for the 'saved by the bell' chick and the others, I'm assuming they aren't ZTA's. If you really wanna know that bad, call Indianapolis and find out :rolleyes:

AstroAPhi: I am pretty sure Kelly didn't go to college. She stated several times that she was just a waitress, but who knows.

I would guess that if anyone famous who is supposedly a member of a GLO is not listed on that GLO's list of famous members, they aren't a member. After all, why wouldn't they list them when they list other, less famous "famous" alums? They do have the resources to verify these things.

THIS IS FACT!
I watched BIOGRAPHY on her one night and they talked about how all of the fraternities wanted to do mixers with Tri-Delt because she was there (she wasnt famous then just beautiful) and some of her pledge sisters were on there.

Really? I've always heard everyone say she's an Alpha Gam...she's not.

I've also heard it said that Raquel Welch is an Alpha Gam, but I'm pretty sure that's false too.

As far as I know, Raquel's an Alpha Gam (she probably was initiated under her maiden name, Raquel Tejada), but again, that may need to be verified by AGD HQ.

Ann-Margret I know for a fact that she's a Theta from Northwestern -- the Biography on her clearly shows her wearing a sweater with "KAPPA ALPHA THETA" on it.

According to the database, there is no "Raquel Tejada" ever initiated. She's not listed as an "Accomplished Alpha Gam" on the IHQ site under entertainers, so I'd presume that she's not a member.

Well AXiD has some few beauty queens and soap actresses. Lately the two most famous AXiD's are Jen from the most recent "The Batchelor" and Patsy Paugh Ramsey- JonBenet Ramsey's mom.

Patsy was an AXiD at my school, WVU...I believe her sister was as well!

Thanks for the heads-up, OTW! Sometimes the BS from Hollywood publicists filters out into the real world... it may be also possible she was a pledge but never initiated. Those records don't go into that much detail, do they? :)

When filling out the profile, there's information that you can mark as private. Some people like to just include their email and keep their mailing address and phone numbers private. For each sister, though, it'll list what year they were initiated and what chapter they're from.

Re: Jenny McCarthy -

She went to SIU Edwardsville for a year or two and studied nursing before she hit the big time. As far as I know she wasn't Greek.

Actually, Jenny went to school for nursing at SIU Carbondale in the late 1980's.

Jenny graduated from my high school (it's a catholic all girls school - she caused an uproar) in 1990. She went to SIU the next year and then was playboys ms. october in 1993 and playmate of the year in 1994. She wasn't greek.
