Famous Greeks
 

Does anyone know where I can find out about well known members of fraternities and sororities.

In From Here to Fraternity by Robert Egan.

If you go through some similar topics on this board, many are posted. Good luck!

Simply go to official webpages or chapter webpages and they usually list famous alum...also Greek101 has a list of famous alum, however I have had to correct them on who's in which GLO...so I wouldn't count on them...

I didn't mean that to sound rude...I have spent time doing similar research so I know who's in which GLO. In fact they still have Lee Merriworth, or Merriweather as a Sigma Kappa and I believe she's a Chi Omega (I don't even know who she is)...nevertheless, you get my point...

here's a related thread: http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/...ML/000865.html

Lee Meriwether is one of 3 women who played "Catwoman" on the Batman TV series. The other 2 are Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar. She is also a former Miss America.

Thanks for the info on Lee Meriwether...

FYI: Batman, Adam West, is a Beta Theta Pi

From our national page...(pics are there if you are interested go to www.tridelta.org then click on distinguished alums (kind of outdated as it only dates through 1988!!!):

It is impossible to include all the women of merit, for Tri Deltas are outstanding everywhere in every way. The History of Delta Delta Delta 1888-1988 features many more members, as well as the historical issue (fall 1988) of The Trident.
