Here's a list from Baylor (Zeta Chi's) website:

Famous ADPi's

The only thing about Bobbie Eakes is that it doesn't give a chapter designation, so I wonder if maybe she's an *honorary* ADPi???

She's on just about every list of ADPi's, so I'm guessing it's safe to say that she's a member.

One somewhat infamous ADPi was Ginger Alden, a former Miss Tennessee (?) who was engaged to Elvis Presley when he died.

Michelle Pfeiffer pledged but did not get initiated into Alpha Delta Pi (to my knowledge).

I have been told Susan Lucci is an ADPi as well. But i dont' remember where I read that, or how to find it again. LOL

Hello ADPi friends!

(I love this topic of famous Greeks!) I was in school when Bobbie Eakes was Miss Georgia -- I know she attended University of Georgia. I'm loving her on "All My Children" these days. I'm curious about Susan Lucci's affiliation too. I do know for certain that her daughter Liza Huber was in the Chi Omega Chapter at UNC-Chapel Hill (and Susan & Helmut attended Parents' Weekend!)

Well, that would put Bobbie as a Beta Nu chapter sister

Guess what? I just got an email saying on the new ADPi web site it will have a place that lists our famous alumnae. I think the web site will be up sometime this summer- not quite sure about the time frame. But it will be nice to have an official list!

That will be fantastic!! It's so frustrating to play "she is - no, she isn't!"

Tell me about it....and what a great PR tool to use for recruitment, especially for those whose recruitment is in the fall...I'd be checking the website everyday

I do not believe Jessica Capshaw is an ADPi. I'm not even sure if she attended college. I say this because just about every ADPi website I've visited lists famous ADPi's and she has never been listed. Kate Capshaw has, but she hasn't.

Let's not forget:

Danica Mckeller (Winnie from the Wonder Years)

Judy Woodruff (CNN Correspondent)

Brianna

I was going to say, you better not forget one of my chapter's famous alumna, Judy Woodruff (Omicron)!!

Michelle Pheifer (is that how you spell it???)
Kate Capshaw
Kathy Bates and
Golfer Sandra Plamer
are all ADPis
I have also been told that Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O Connor is also an ADPi, but I have never been able to find any evidence except the ADPi page on my university's GLO website. Hope this helps!

Alphie1851 · #14 02-24-2004, 01:51 AM

i heard somewhere that michelle pheifer was, but after further investigation, found out that she went to something that was more like a community college. pretty sure sandra day o'conner has greek ties, but not to adpi. that's something to investigate...

Where did you read this? I ask because every ADPi website I have ever gone to, which is a lot, NONE have ever listed Michelle Pfieffer, Kathy Bates or Sandra Day O'Conner as possible ADPi's..
With that said, I don't believe that they are in fact ADPi's.

Hey if I'm wrong, great.

If someone can list their possible chapters of initiations that might help.

I mean we (ADPi's) keep claiming that Bobbie Eakes (from Bold and the Beautiful) is an ADPi, but we have no idea her chapter of initiation, so how do we REALLY know if she is or not.

Sorry, I'm in a very pondering mood tonight.
