My chapter pledged the sister of a superstar, but let's just say she didn't stay initiated very long. I don't know the details and wouldn't share them here anyway, but I think that her behaviour didn't fit our vows.

I saw her and her sis a few years ago at the mall. Not sure I would have even said anything to her if I knew she was an active sister..I wouldn't have wanted her to think I was being nice to her b/c of her sister. Esp. since we weren't in school at the same time.

Wonder what she's doing these days, maybe I should send a letter to sis's fan club, lol!

My chapter hasn't ever initiated someone "famous", but this semester we had a member of the varsity basketball team pledge our chapter.

This hasn't happened very often at our school since it is quite anti-greek and the general consensus among the coaches is to discourage atheletes from joining fraternities and sororities as well.

That's great! I think that coaches probably think that Greek life would hinder the amount of time and effort that the athelete would be able to devoted to the sport.

In a way I understand, but the coach has to understand that the athelete is also a college student who should be able to take advantage of the Greek experience..after all, in many cases, the sports career ends at graduation while we all know that being Greek is for a lifetime.

Hello I know this is a little old topic but I just wanted to say that Chris Klein from american pie is a Lambda Chi Alpha and I think it is at TCU my best friend is also the president of one of the chapters Lambda Chi and has actually met him when they went up there to party with them. He said he is actually a pretty cool guy and no one up there thinks of him as huge celebrity he is just a normal guy and he also has a brother that supposedly looks just like him who is also a Lambda Chi.

LOL...this topic has taken a sidebar. But, that is TOO funny! Isn't she like 20? Shouldn't she atleast have had a tutor so she could've gotten her highschool diploma? Anywho, don't mind me, just laughing out loud.

I remember seeing MTV Cribs and seeing letters somewhere in his house (I believe it was he and not the other guy from American Pie, with the blonde hair). But, if he is Lambda Chi...I don't think he was "famous" at the time he became a member, which makes a difference.

you're correct...
 

Keisha Knight Pulliam is my soror. She was initiated into Spelman College as the Deuce of the 1999 line. I don't know any of my sorors from Spelman, but know some sorors who met her at the Philly Greek in the summer of 1999.

LOL...TMI.

But, that's interesting, seeing how gun-ho he appears about Omega Psi Phi these days :p

Jerry Maguire has entered the FORUM. Frat please remember what I told you, O.K. Now that we have that out of the way, SHAQ tried to pledge at NU IOTA? I didn't know that. One of my professors told me that he got into a scuffle or something of that nature with some brus around that time. That doesn't suprise me...

Yes, it is TCU

Yes, he's LXA at TCU-my boyfriend went to TCU and he told me.

oops, maybe I should read before I post :)

Famous Pledges
 

The heir to the Dr. Pepper fortune rushed at UT-Austin a couple of years ago. I believe she ended up pledging Pi Phi. Her Mom was an ADPi at Texas, sister a Theta at SMU and other sister a Kappa at TCU. She had a lot of pressure and decided to go with a different sorority despite her legacies.

Matthew McConnaughey pledged Delt at UT in the early 90's (with my sister's boyfriend). And Renee Zellweger (sp?) wasn't in a sorority, but a ZBT (now Pi Lam) little sister. Janis Joplin was an ADPi at Texas before her career really took off. She was named by the Delts as the ugliest person on campus!!

And as far as politics go, LBJ's daughter and granddaughter pledged Kappa. But the most famous is Jenna Bush. She's currently a sophomore and a Theta at UT.

one last famous texas greek
 

the cutie from MTV's Real World is a Delt at UT. You'll notice that he always has on a Tri Delt shirt.

And there are several US Congressmen/women's sons/daughters who are active in the UT system, too.

Re: one last famous texas greek
 

Sideconvo: Who always has on the Tri Delt tshirt? Isn't Tri Delt a sorority...why would a dude on Real World have on a Tri Delt shirt? Did you mean to type "she" instead of "he?"

I think the Tri-Delt shirt he (Kevin, I think) always wears is a party shirt. Crandazzo didn't mistype, but meant to imply that he is in a GLO and wears sorority party shirts. I might be wrong, but I remember seeing a shirt with Pi Beta Phi and Tri-Delt letters on it...I guess it was just a sorority event he went to!
