Accomplished Alpha Gamma Deltas
http://www.alphagammadelta.org/About...Alpha_Gams.asp
From the AGD IHQ Site. I've heard from different sources that Carly Simon is an AGD. I sent her an email asking, but it hasn't been answered so....:confused: |
Since the Alpha Gam link has already been posted, here's the one for Phi Kaps. Pretty impressive list which includes JFK.

katie couric leeza gibbons dixie carter elizabeth dole grace kelly liz claiborne leanza cornett deborah norville mrs. neil armstrong (whos husband put her tri-delt pin on the flag on the moon) heather locklear also, delta airlines, delta faucets, the liz claiborne label, and trident gum among other things come from tri-deltas symbols |
There are plenty of famous Chi Phi alumni but here are my favorite...
Chris Hardwick (host of MTV's Singled Out) Walter Cronkite (Anchorman) Earl Bruce (former Head football coach at Ohio St.) Rankin M. Smith, Sr. (Owner of Atlanta Falcons) and... ...George Ferris, the crazy guy who invented the Ferris Wheel! XP2k |
sigep
one sigep alum to be mentioned from tx alpha at the univ. of tx is tom hicks, owner of the texas rangers and the dallas stars.
and i seem to know more alum from my chapter in particular at the university of north texas, tx beta chapter: Duffy Oyster, the owner of the Pancho's food chain Bill Schmidt, bronze in javelin at '74 munich olympics, made the "be like mike" michael jordan ad campaign for gatorade, was CEO of oakley sunglasses, and now works for mike himself Joe Don Baker, actor in many 007 movies and many more movies Jay Lombardo, of Lombardo Apparel (logo after all mavericks games)... makes suits for many actors, and many more athletes of all the dallas area sports teams can't think of names, but 2 members of Deep Blue Something, the owner/CEO of Petro Oil, and so many more i can't think of at 11:00 at night. |

VT Tri Delt- I've always heard Heather Locklear was a Chi O -- but she didn't stay at UCLA long enough to get initiated....
Does anyone know if Nancy O"Dell from Access Hollywood is Greek? She graduated from Clemson. |
Pat O'Brien of Access Hollywood (Is he still on it? I don't watch), and former CBS Sports Anchor is a Delt.
|
Just wondering if anyone knew if Julia Roberts was/is a greek?
Ronnie:D |
Thanks BrownEyedGirl! I found myself wondering when watching Access Hollywood the other night.
BearyCuteAPhi-- to best of my knowledge, Julia Roberts is not Greek. I don't think she went to college at all. |
should be studying for finals but ah well!
Hey everyone! Here is a list of all the famous Greeks in sororities that I could muster up.
Famous Sigma Kappas: Margaret Andrew was the first women to graduate from Ohio State University Fay Burnett: first nutritionist for Weight Watchers Linda Cress Dowdy: creator and owner of Barney the dinosaur (that's why he's purple!) Anna Harper: Wimbeldon tennis champ in 1931 Susan Johns: Kentucky state senator 1994 Judith Guest La Vercombe: author of Ordinary People Lauren Roman: actress Rhea Seddon: mission specialist for NASA Margaret Chase Smith: first women senator, first women to sit in both houses of Congress Ashley Welkos: aka Matiland Ward, actress Janelle Cutshaw Nevins: president of Nevins Marketing Group Cory Thompson-Cunningham: Miss Tennessee 1999 and I hear Dr Seus's wife was a Sigma Kappa but I don't know if that's exact truth and the author of the movie "Mystic Pizza" was a SK Dixie Carter was a tri-delt at UT! Mrs. Brady was a DZ, Ashley Judd is a Kappa Kappa Gamma so is Candace Bergen (Murphy Brown).The Rapping Granny on the Wedding Singer is a KD, and Robert E. Lee is a honorary member of Phi Mu, which is really neat! Meredith Monroe (Andie on Dawson's) is an Alpha Chi Omega, and the co-founder of the Muppets is an AZD. That is all the little neat ones I could find. Hope that helps add to some people's list! :) -of course my favorite is that James Dean was a Sigma Nu, ahhhh he was such a stud! |
Julia Roberts is an honorary Phi Mu due to her performance in " Steel Magnolias" she played Susan Hardin Robinson who was a Phi Mu, but I dont know if Phi Mu considers honoraries as "members"
|
Some one wrote that Neil Armstrong's wife was a TriDelt. I've always heard that she was an Alpha Chi Omega and that the Lyre badge of AXO is on the flag that is on the moon. Does someone know for sure?? Though I'm pretty sure that she was an Alpha Chi.
|
Neil Armstrong's wife
Neil Armstrong's wife is definitely a tri-delt and our pin is on the flag on the moon. We have a picture of the flag with our pin on it in our house.:cool:

I think that Fred Savage of "The Wonder Years" and movie fame, is an SAE. Any SAE'rs know for sure? Also, Tiger Woods is supposedly a Sigma Chi when he was at Stanford, but I don't know if he stayed around long enough to get initiated :)
|
amycat,
Here is the deal with Heather Locklear or how I heard it because she was supposedly a member at my chapter. Supposedly, she pledged TriDelt first but depledged for undisclosed reasons (word on the street is that she did some risque things with a few too many fraternity men) and later pledged Chi Omega but was never initiated at either. Neither TriDelt or Chi O claim her as member. Now this is just what I heard from word of mouth at my house; I want to try and find some of our old composites or bid day pictures and see if she is in them. If anyone knows how old she is that would help and I can update you all! |
TriDeltaGal-
INNNNNteresting. :) I think Heather is 40-41.... |
Some famous Sig Taus:
U.S. attorney John Ashcroft Stan"the man"Musial, MLB hall of fame Gil Morgan,PGA Dennis Miller(?),Saturday Night Live/Monday Night FootBall:rolleyes: |
Another famous Phi Psi is Brother Michael Bloomberg, mayor of the city so great, they named it twice...New York, New York! :D
|
I didn't want to start a whole new thread so I thought I'd stick this here...Last night I was watching re-runs of "Whose Line" and after they did a skit where one of the guys was a fraternity brother, Drew Carey gave a shout out to DTD.
|
Some of Alpha Phi's famous alums:
Maile Misajon (Eden's Crush) Jeri Ryan (Star Trek Voyager & Boston Public) Kimberly Williams (Father of the Bride) |
Well....Carly Simon hasn't responded to my email yet! ;)
Gloria Loring was on Sally Jesse Raphael the other day. There wasn't a call-in moment, so I could say "HI, SIS! :D |
one more Kappa!
I was watching "The Other Half" yesterday, and they had Kate Jackson as a guest. She has appeared in more television series than any other woman. She was Sabrina on the original "Charlie's Angels," which she essentially invented! She was talking with Aaron Spelling and making up a series as she went along. The "angels" part was inspired by a painting over his desk, and the whole bit about them never seeing Charlie...she saw a speakerphone on his desk and said "And they only hear him...um...over speakerphone." I was so sad. I should have skipped work to be in their audience so I could meet a famous sister. |

Delta Burke controversy
I think the reason several groups have "wrongly" claimed Delta Burke as one of their members (when she supposedly went to school in London and herself said she was never a member of any house) is that her character on "Designing Women," Suzanne Sugarbaker, was an Ole Miss Pi Phi. If this is a repeat, sorry...I just didn't read all the way through.[COLOR=deeppink][COLOR=deeppink]

more famous Sigma Gamma Rho women

Odom- Author of "Sistahs N' Sistahood" Soror Ann Fudge- CEO of Power One Sorors Tonya Lee Williams and Victoria Rowell- actreses- Young and Restless, Diagnosis Murder Soror Brenda Joysmith- artist :cool: |
In my chapter we werer told that the founder of Weight Watchers was a Sigma Kappa, as well as the creator of Barney. One I have heard and have not confirmed and maybe someone can help me out is that Dr. Seuss married a Sigma Kappa.
|
tim mcgraw was a pike.
orville redenbacher (popcorn guy) was alpha gamma rho and of course, just about everyone has at least one senator or congressman. http://www.students.missouri.edu/~mizzoufh/crest.gif |
The dumbest thing I ever heard/saw was in a Famous Greek section in a greek clothing catalog, it said that the POPE was in a fraternity.
The only Famous Delta Sigs that people would know about is Brother Micheal Shannahan, coach of the Denver Broncos, Brother Micheal Billoti, head coach at Oregon University, and Brother Jim Bouton, who wrote the controversial book "Ball Four", detailing the life of a baseball player back in his time. |
