JFK Jr. was a member of Phi Kappa Psi at Brown University.

Ted Turner pledged Kappa Sig while he was there, but I'm not sure he initiated, after all...he was kicked out.

Tom and Tom (Nantucket Nectars) are also Kappa Sigs--same chapter.

Sean Morey (New England Patriots) is a Theta Delta Chi.

Ruth Simmons is an AKA. I read on these pages that she's a Delta, but no. Sorry.

Anyone know of any famous Sigs?
I know about Brad Pitt, Dave Letterman, and the "Duke," but past that..I cannot think of any


This isn't meant to belittle, but does TKE honorarily initiate often? I know that Willy Nelson was initiated that way, as was the football coach at my university. I don't know of us ever doing that (perhaps we have though) nor could I ever see my chapter doing that, so do many orgs do that?

Hey SigmaChiCard, Sigma Chi actually did one honorary initiation that I know of. It happened to be a United States President. Can you guess which one? If you don't want to guess, open your Shield and find out. :)

Harrison is a member of Phi Delta Theta. Harrison was initated into Phi Delta Theta by Phi Delt's Alpha Chapter - Miami of Ohio. He must have been a honorary Delta Chi.
