For Delta Tau Delta, check www.delts.org under "About Delta Tau Delta" and then "Notable Delt Alumni."

A couple of easy ones, though:

Drew Carey, David Schwimmer (Friends) and Matthew McConaughey.

Also, three Superbowl winning quarterbacks:

John Elway, Denver Broncos; Mark Rypien, Washington Redskins; and Jim Plunkett, Oakland Raiders.

Check the website. There's a long list from business, entertainment, politics and sports.

I think Emily from realworld/road rules challenge (the one with curly hair ) is a Kappa Delta.

I've also heard people say that Courtney Cox is a DZ, AXO, and AGD. Seems like a lot of groups want to claim her

LOL, I've never heard of Courtney Cox being an AGD, but I've heard some of my sisters claim Shannon Elizabeth (a lot of groups want her too), Carly Simon, and Raquel Welch.

So many times I've heard "I heard so and so is an AGD"...I can't wait until IHQ comes out with an official listing of our accomplished alumnae.

That old show "Coach" often has a Beta Theta Pi Paddle in the background in various epsiodes. Many have often thought Craig T. Nelson is a Beta but hes not. I've heard the Producer of the show might be.

Siobhan,

I'm Kelly green too Yeah, I suppose I messed up there. You got the idea though. John Turner was a Canadian Prime Minister.

Delt also has Will Ferrell from SNL. He's a Delt from USC, class of 1990

And I am not sure Courtenay Cox ever went to college...???

I know Turner was PM (back in the early 80's) I just thought the british in front of canadian pm was quite amusing

Hi everyone!

O.K. here's my question...I always see Sarah Jessica Parker's name listed on webpages for famous members...these are usually on school webpages. Anyway, I've read a few of her biographies and none of them say that she even went to a college or university. So, can anyone shed any light on this situation? The same thing goes for Cindy Crawford...I know she went to Northwestern.

One more thing...Kristen Davis (Charlotte from Sex And The City) went to Rutgers University. Does anyone know if she's a GLO member?

Thanks in advance

[amycat412]

An episode of Sex and the City had Charlotte lunching with her Delta Gamma sisters. Perhaps she is a DG? Though maybe not as they sorta poked fun at the stereotype of a "sorority girl"

[amycat412]

Oh and I don't think Cindy Crawford was, but I could be wrong. She left school to be a model fairly early in her collegiate career.

They featured her as a Kappa, not a DG.
(Just so you'd know )

Thanks for the info, though.

thanks for the correction shopgirl! I do so love that show and will be most bummed by the pending writers and actors strikes because they will totally cancel next season of SATC.

Hootie,
You can be an Alpha Phi Omega and a Kappa Sigma, I believe, because APO is a service org. Right???

[pirate00]

Jimmy Buffett is an honorary brother, not alumni.
