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]

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. |
