I just wanted to add that Barbara was also the last Miss America to be crowned in her bathing suit. :)

Heather is actually one of my best friends & relatives....she is from Philadelphia, MS & now is working in Califorina!
I also know Jennifer...she is a sister of mine so yes she was a KD!:)

I forgot to add Jennifer also won Most Beautiful at OleMiss before she won Miss University...she also won my mothers state pageant...Little Miss Mississippi in 1991...
Heather too won Little Miss Mississippi once my mom turned it over to a new owner & sponsored Mississippi State Miss

They both are great competors!

Ooooo...and one of my favorites: Bobbie Eakes followed her sister's footsteps and was a great Miss Georgia in the mid 1980s. She was a Top Ten Finalist at Miss America.

Bobbie Eakes though isn't listed as a sister (at this point). Albeit the website is new and they are listing new "accomplished" sisters everyday but so far she hasn't been listed, so it might be a rumor that she is an ADPi. [shrugs shoulders]

Ya know, I was wondering that too -- (I recall honeychile & I discussing this previously, I think.) I really, really thought she was an ADPi. I attended the Miss Georgia pageant when she relinquished her crown & I also recall she hosted a Miss Mercer pageant I attended. Seems like she went to UGA -- and I really thought she pledged ADPi.

Bobbie Eakes an ADPi?
 

Famous Sorority Women

She's listed here -- Wonder how accurate this list is? (All of the Chi Omegas on this list are indeed members.)

Maybe email your Executive Office & see what they say?

I am absolutely sure I've seen Bobbie Eakes on several lists of famous ADPi's. Not being a soap opera fan (*ducks*), I don't really know her.

NutBrnHair, where on earth did you find that list?! It's awesome!!! The Crown Princess of Norway is a DZ?!?!?!?!

Oh, btw, on our new website, it states that an ADPi wrote the first Betty Crocker cookbook. Not that she is Betty Crocker, but that she wrote the book. And I'll be editing to add her name soon...

Agnes White Tizard, Sigma, Nutritionist; "Betty Crocker" authored Betty Crocker cookbook

Honey, I was just doing a search & it popped up -- it's from the Northeast Georgia Alumnae Panhellenic Council's website. A nice little website!

Re: Bobbie Eakes an ADPi?
 

As I recall, that list is pretty accurate, although not entirely. For example, most of the Tri Delts listed are accurate -- however, Farrah Fawcett was NOT a Tri Delta, although I believe it's true that she was a pledge. (Heather Whitestone was also an AOPi pledge, I believe, and never a full-fledged member.) The site also lists Sandra Day O'Connor as a Pi Phi when I'm pretty sure she isn't Greek (didn't she go to Stanford during the era when sororities were outlawed?). Many of the names are correct, but not all of them.

Update from the "resaearch department" -- Bobbie Eakes' bio says she attended Univ. of Georgia for 2 years.

I think there are a LOT of famous sorority women who pledged, but went on to fame & fortune prior to initiation.

It just thrills me to see a Panhellenic site for this, though. Sometimes the individual sorority brag-a-thons get a little mucky (to say the least!).
