OK I almost choked when I read "Betty Crocker." Betty Crocker is a made up character. So she's not a Gamma Phi, or a member of any of the other wonderful GLOs out there. *lmao* Just to prove it here's some info from wiki. (I know it's not the best source, but I'm too lazy to look for any others right now. )

From wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Crocker

In 1921, the idea of Betty Crocker hatched as a Washburn-Crosby Company advertising tool.

Betty as a common woman's name Crocker for the late secretary and director of the Washburn Crosby Company, William G. Crocker

The company first used her name to sign replies to various personal requests for household advice which they received from customers by mail.
