OK, i know we all want to have famous people in are sororities and fraternities, but are we really going to count the greek org that a tv show character is in? :-)

Hey, on the Steve Harvey Show, I noticed that Steve has the crest of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. on the wall in his apartment's living room. Is Steve Harvey an Omega Brother?

Although we have our fair share of famous alumni, I thought this one guy is an alumni which very few people know about, but every body plays his game. I'm talking about:

Dr. Naismith - Inventor of Basketball.

[This message has been edited by pirate00 (edited June 20, 2001).]

Yes Steve Harvey is Omega Psi Phi, and so is Shaq/Jordan, and Cedric the entertainer is a Kappa Alpha Psi. Just a brief history if you were wondering...Martin Luther King was a Alpha Phi Alpha, with Jessie Jackson I believe.

Correction: Jesse Jackson is a member of Omega Psi Phi and his wife is a member of Delta Sigma Theta.
