does anyone know if MICHELLE KWAN, famous figure skater, went greek, cuz on the clemson NPC website they said she went GAMMA PHI BETA. just want to know if any other people would know.

I was told when I was a freshman (joined in fall/01) that Michelle Kwan went through informal spring rush in 2001, got bids from all the houses she visited, but didn't join a house. She had a good friend in Gamma Phi who was a senior when I was a freshman, and apparently (probably exaggerated) she was told by Michelle that the only house she was seriously considering was ours, but she decided she was going to redouble her efforts for the Olympics. From what I've heard, she hasn't graduated UCLA; perhaps she's transferred, or just hasn't completed the units yet.

OK. To clear this up again:

(1) your badge is not on the moon. There are no badges actually on the moon.
(2) Your badge may well have gone into *space.* I know Sigma Kappa had a badge go into space, and -- which shuttle was it that burned on reentry? -- a GPhiB recently was IN space.

Gamma Phi Beta Alum Laurel Blair Salton Clark was one of the astronauts who died on the Columbia over a year ago.
