Until I get evidence (ie, I go to the moon, look at the flag), I'm going to disregard any and all sorority claims, including mine, to the "sorority pin on the moon" story.

Another famous AXO is National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

An AKA is Ruth Simmons, president of Brown University. I'm not sure if she's honorary, collegiate, or alum initiate.

Keisha Knight Pulliam (rudy from the cosby show) is a Delta Sigma Theta

To the best of my knowledge, Delta Tau Delta does not do honorary initiations or have honorary members.

We do, on very rare occassions, initiate an alumni, or someone who has given service to the Fraternity -- let's say a long time chapter advisor who was not an undergraduate member.

I heard that Pat Green is a Farm House alum from Texas Tech, and I am positive that Colby from Survivor II was a Phi Delt at Tech. Kate Capshaw (Steven Spielburg's wife) is an ADPi and so is Deanna Carter and Whinnie from 'The Wonder Years'.

Well, I can say with total confidence, that SAI can claim the following:

Sheryl Crow (from U Missouri)
Jessye Norman (VERY famous opera singer...Howard U)
Katie Harman, Deborah Bryant, and Debra Barnes (Miss Americas 2002, 1967, and 1968, respectively).
Dr. Loretta Long (Susan on Sesame Street....from Eastern Michigan U.??)

We also have many famous musicans that have been initiated as honorary members, but these are a few that have been initaiated as college members. What a talented group!

Besides Neil Armstrong who, im told did put a Phi Delt pin on the flag, Phi Delta Theta also has Burt Reynolds, Ron Cey(great baseball player), Detlef Schrempf(NBA player), J. Willard Marriott(the hotel guy) and some others i cant remembere right now.

Believe it or not...Mr. Roger's(Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) is Greek...He became a brother in Phi Mu Alpha during college...He was also in the Marine Corp and was an ordained minister...Must have been interesting...Mystic Cat32

the theta chi's have stephen speilburg. and if dr. seuss's wife wasn't really a sigma kappa, there are some HUGE coincidences in how the grinch stole christmas. it makes ya wonder. . .

Sorry to revisit this post, but I just found out that Ben Savage ("Boy Meets World" and Fred's little brother) is a Sigma Chi at Stanford. I had thought that he joined the SAE's, since Fred is an SAE from Stanford, but he didn't...He is a Junior to be, I think...

The head of the Girl Scouts of America...forgive me but I can't think of her name, is a Kappa Delta AND a graduate of Lawrence University (see the link in my signature)...

Yes, she is.

her name is Marjorie Mehne Culmer and Girl Scouts is one of our biggest philanthropies!

Georgia O'Keefe-artist

Pearl Buck-Pulitzer prize winner

Bonnie Dunbar-astronaut

Ali Landry-"Doritios Girl"

Ellen Albertini Dow- the old lady in The Wedding Singer who sang Rappers Delight

Lori Beecher-producer of NBC news

Sarah James- Dateline NBC Correspondent

That is all I can think of now

i had heard that georgia o'keefe was a theta? the theta's on my campus have a big poster of o'keefe pansies in their suite...

mrs. day, of day's inn hotels, she's an adpi

one of the sisters that i met at our conference this summer knows her, i believe.

DigitalAngel126 · #12 07-13-2002, 07:15 PM

i know this is a repeat, but i feel the need to say it.. i dont know about the rumor of letterman failing out to be true, but if it is, that is odd.. seeing as he donated SO much money to have a whole new building built there, he wanted the new stadium named after him, and he paid the morgtage on the sig chi house (you should see the thing, its like a friggin apartment complex!).. so whether he made it out or not, he sure does claim it.. and if anyone is interested, i do have some pictures of biff from homecoming...if anyone wants to see them, i can scan em..

AZDZetaSigma03 · #13 07-13-2002, 08:04 PM

The only famous AZD I can think of is Jim Henson's wife. Fozzie the bear was named after us (the Fuzzies!).

Sheryl Crow was also a Theta at the University of Missouri (Alpha Nu Chapter).

Georgia O'Keefe was not a Theta. Probably the sisters just liked the pansies!

Georgia O'Keefe was a Kappa Delta at our Beta chapter- Chatham Episcopal
