First Ladies
I was curious: you always hear about this president or that one belonging to one GLO or another, but you don't hear about many First Ladies. I know that Laura Bush (and daughter Jenna) are Kappa Alpha Thetas - are/were any other First Ladies members of a sorority?

Calvin Coolidge's wife was a Pi Phi and her pin can be seen in many portraits of her!

Lou Hoover (Mrs. Herbert Hoover) and Lucy Webb Hayes (Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes) were Kappas.

ZTA doesn't have any first ladies but we do have some president's daughters.
Susan Ford Bales, Gerald Ford's daughter, was a ZTA and so was Lynda Johnson Robb, Lyndon B. Johnson's daughter.

My wife's a first lady. After all, I'm married and I'm the President.

When I was in high school, there was a girl down the road who was a Zeta at UT at the time--when Lynda Johnson was. The stories she would tell about the Secret Service being in the house 24/7--boy, they really screwed up some chapter functions!

I'm not surprised...
Makes you wonder how the chapter would handle ritual, if the Secret Service has to be around whomever they're protecting 24/7. "Sorry, ladies, but we're going to have to search that locked closet"

I don't think Jackie Kennedy was Greek, but she should have been!

Isn't Elizabeth Dole a Senator-elect? D Phi E counts Senator Barbara Boxer among our alumnae.

I heard that Jackie Kennedy either pledged Phi Mu or was an honorary Phi Mu. I don't think she ever initiated from what I heard.

Not First Lady
Elizabeth Dole is not a would-be first lady, her husband is a hopefully first gentleman.
