Famous Theta Women??

Famous Thetas?? Anyone have any? I just think it's fun to see who out there in the spotlight is one of us. Any stories?

Naturally I have one. One of my sisters here at OSU went to a Sheryl Crow concert... knowing she was a Theta and having backstage passes,

Her and Sheryl sat down and I guess talked for hours about their Theta experience.

Laura Bush is a famous theta!

Laura is!

I think the poster though was talking more if any famous ones were among us here or had met one.

There is a locally famous theta from my chapter that lives in my neighborhood actually. She is a TV news anchor at one of the TV stations here.

We have a famous alumna from my chapter - Zeta Upsilon at UT-Dallas.

Shannon Hughes, who graduated in Dec. 2003, was the runner-up on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search, which aired on NBC in January 2005. She was also my hostess at Day 1 and Preference parties, my class' VPE, and the woman who turned me on to Theta in the first place!

Now she's working around the globe as a model. Last I heard, she had a spread in an Australian fashion magazine.

The First Daughter is also a Theta...I can't ever remember which chapter she's from though. I think it's UT-Dallas. I could be seriously wrong though, but I also think The First Lady was a Theta from SMU? Or was SHE from UT-Dallas? Haha. I get so confused.

I believe they are both Thetas now. Barbara i think joined at Yale and Jenna joined at UT- Dallas i think. Yes Laura is from SMU in Texas.

Lynne Cheney and John McCain's Wife are also Thetas.

I think Jenna joined at UT-Austin, and Barbara joined at Yale her sophomore year. I never knew John McCain's wife was a Theta!

Ahhh...just too cool...it's so much fun getting to see people on tv and "knowing" that you share something so special

*sigh*

Sorry to crash

Being an Arizonian (he he), I had no idea that Cindy is a Theta. How cool is that!

I love when I find out people, who I actually recognize their name, are Greek. Too cool!

any truth to the facts that Walt Disney's daughter was a Theta or the Anheiser Busch daughers were Theta's??? I've heard stories about Disney's "Let's Go Fly A Kite" and something about a Pansy on Budweiser bottles.

I think the Disney's daughters thing may be true; I've seen that tidbit posted on several chapter websites. I havent heard but one time about the Anheiser Busch daughters thing and the pansies on the labels......I dont drink Budweiser or beer either for that matter so I havent checked the pansy on the label thing out for myself

I've only heard the latter by word of mouth, I dont think I've ever seen it on a Theta website.

Yep- Walt's daughter's are Thetas, but not sure which chapter(s) they were at. Interesting fact (found on wikipedia.org). Diane was the only child born to Walt and Lillian. Her sister, Sharon, was adopted! *I always find these kinds of things related to Disney fun. I am a big Disney fan. I did work at Walt Disney World in FL for 4 months, afterall!*
Also, the song "Let's Go Fly A Kite" might connect slightly to Theta, but the song idea overall is not at all related! I have the soundtrack which includes a thing with the Sherman bros. talking about the songs . . . more on that later if I can remember to check out my cd! (Make sure I'm not relaying wrong info here!)

Other than that . . . I have never met a "famous" Theta, nor can I think of any local famous Thetas...I'll have to see what I can find!

Bump. After last night's win by John McCain, maybe we'll have a repeat for Theta in the first lady position! Good luck!!
