I would still caution that materials published by the inter/national organization itself are the best sources. There are a number of sites that list "famous" Alpha Gams who aren't really Alpha Gams. Urban legends can make it to websites- even chapter websites- when the information is incorrect.

I definitely agree. I've seen at least one incorrect alumnus on multiple chapter sites (Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr is an honorary brother of Alpha Phi Omega, but his son Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is not)

An article that popped up on my yahoo feed about Hailie Scott, Eminem’s daughter. It mentions that she is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Wally Funk, the oldest woman in space is an ΑΧΩ from our Oklahoma State chapter. So glad she got to finally live her dream.

Gotta go, Wanna go, ΑΧΩ!

Yep...best AGD example I can think of is the rumor/urban legend that Betty White is an Alpha Gam. She is not.

Hopie Carlson, daughter of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, is a Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Virginia (possibly just graduated). Her younger sister, Dorothy, is 18 and just graduated from high school. No info on where she’s going to college.

ChioLu 08-20-2021 07:27 PM

Bryce Drummond (son of Food Network host, Ree Drummond) is starting college at the University of North Texas, where he is on the UNT football team. Since his mom is a Pi Beta Phi alumna and both his older sisters are/were Greek in college (Texas A&M, Arkansas), it’s probably a good bet he’ll join at fraternity at UNT.
https://www.today.com/parents/ree-dr...m_npd_td_tw_kh

Her foster son, Jamar (goes by Drummond as his last name), is starting college at the University of Central Oklahoma and on the UCO football team.
https://people.com/food/ree-drummond...tral-oklahoma/

Ree posts family updates on her social media so if you see if either son has joined a fraternity, please add.

carnation 08-20-2021 08:03 PM

Yeah, I think her daughters went Tri Delt and Kappa.

ChioLu 08-21-2021 02:09 PM

Lot of celebrity kids who are or have been students at Duke. Anyone know if they were involved in Greek life?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/no-soup-j...l?guccounter=1 (Note: the female in the photo is mom, Jessica Seinfeld, not daughter Sascha — though Jessica could be mistaken for younger)

Sascha is a junior, her brother Julian is an incoming freshman.
Jessica Springsteen (Bruce’s daughter), graduated 2014 (& 2021 Olympic silver medalist, equestrian).
Matthew Lowe (Rob’s son), graduated 2016. (His brother graduated from Stanford and was not Greek, so kinda doubt it.)
Hud Mellencamp (John’s son) who was a walk-on for Duke football in 2015.

Rob Lowe's son was in a fraternity at Duke. Rob talked about stoping by the house and hanging out with the actives.

Thanks for the info. From google, Matthew Lowe is an Alpha Delta Phi (social Greek fraternity founded in 1832 with just over 30 chapters nationwide).

Sophie Flay (Delta Gamma alumna, SoCal) has appeared on several of her dad’s Food Network shows (chef Bobby Flay). She now co-hosts the Food Network Show “Bobby and Sophie On The Coast”.

(Just cause I didn’t want to do a separate post and post three times in a row...)
Rowan Henchy, daughter of Brooke Shields, goes to Wake Forest University. Doing a quick internet search, couldn’t find any evidence of if she is in a sorority. Anyone have better info? She is 19 and would be a sophomore.

carnation 09-26-2022 01:58 PM

She's not one of us, we dumped our chapter there.

chitownxo 09-26-2022 02:38 PM

Pretty sure she's a ChiO, as her instagram profile tags the WF Chi Omega Chapter.

Anyone remember Toddlers and Tiaras? Eden Wood, who was featured on multiple episodes (and briefly had her own spinoff series) is an ASA at University of Central Arkansas. (I recently watched the episode of Dark Side of Reality TV about Toddlers and Tiaras and was curious to find out what some of the kids featured were doing now.)

Ruth Bader Ginsburg graduated from Cornell and served on the Supreme Court. When she died, there was a memorial in my city, and I got interviewed by the local news station.

Elizabeth Glaser founded the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation, which is one of our philanthropies.

Judith Resnik was killed in the Challenger disaster.

We've got a whole list. Also, TIL that Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada, is an AEPhi.

Very interesting list! I was pleased to see a few Pitt AEPhis on the list - they had an awesome chapter when I was there!

Will Ferrell’s son is a Sigma Alpha Mu at USC. He had his dad DJ, or rather fake DJ, a Sammy party there this year. There’s video on the internet if you want to google. (Will was a Delta Tau Delta at USC.)

All of the Wikipedia lists of notable Alumni are at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego...dent_societies

The category is split into 7 subcategoriess. ACHS, Honor Society Caucus, Local Honor societies, NPC, NPHC, NIC and PFA. Also former members of these groups have their pages in a subcategory of the Conference/Council they used to belong to.

On Wednesday night's ABC-TV special about 19 year-old Isabella Strahan's cancer journey she mentioned her having joined a sorority at Southern Cal, while pics of her popping the DG salute and holding an anchor cutout showed onscreen. Isabella is one of former NFL player Michael Strahan's twin daughters.

I know USC Greek orgs have a lot of celebrity kids (as well as future celebrities). DG has several: chef Bobby Flay’s daughter (also co-host on one of his Food Network’s shows) and 1 of Sylvester Stallone’s daughters are USC DG’s (now both Alumnae).

Natalia Bryant (Kobe’s eldest daughter) is a KKG at USC. Several photos on Instagram showing her graduating wearing a KKG sash.
