Like Sela Ward is very active in Chi Omega still and she comes out and says so. I like seeing famous people using their popularity to the GLO's advantage!

John Stewart (of the daily show) was not Theta Chi. He pledged Pike but quit. There was some one named Jon Stuart (or something liked that) who was a Theta Chi at the same Cindy Crawford was a little sister.

D.J. Skribble, according to his entourage member at spring break isn't either. OH well.

Ha Ha! One funny one I always hear is that Colonel Sanders from KFC was an honorary member of Pi Kappa Alpha. Another rumor I heard is that Steve the bouncer from the Jerry Springer show is a Pike!
BTW, Jon Stuart was actually initiated into pi kappa alpha.

jon stuart was initiated into my uncle's chapter at william and mary like 2 years after my uncle graduated. he's gone to homecoming a couple of times so my aunt and uncle have met him!

Like Matthew McConaughey (sp?) wore a shirt with huge Delt letters in some kind of celebrity appearance (there was a thread on it somewhere) and has a number of Delts working for his production company.

Drew Carey is less outspoken, but has said hello to Delts in the audience on Who's Line Is It a couple of times.

The girl who created the Daily Show on comedy central is a DG. I consider my Dad to be famous around Clemson and he is a Pi KA ! Alumnae initiate! We have several SNL graduates but like has been said I don't think they are still involved. I looked them up in our DG big alumnae book and couldn't find them.

I don't think that's fun or funny. The fraternities at USC did that a couple of years ago to PNMs as they walked up and down the row during rush and PHC lost a lot of PNMs because of it. There was no system in place at the time to penalize them for it, but now they get rush infractions for saying anything to PNMs.

Though me getting famous is a small possibility i will wear my letters proud. In fact i will have a flag flying The letters Pi K A at my house when i get old and i will be known in my neighborhood as the old guy who won't let go of his college years.


But on Faith Hill she is married to a Pike.

lauradav,

i don't think they were doing it to pnm. just the other girls at the school. my dad always talked about it in a joking manner so i guess i never thought about it negatively. my mom would always take the long way around to avoid being rated. lol.
ps. sorry, didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings by bringing it up. i had no idea that happened at rush and it sucks how pnm dropped out

[steelepike]

Well this is a new one but i heard from somewhere that the original drummer for Blink-182 was a Pi Kappa Phi but the again it was from heresay so its yet another urban legend.
