I know this has nothing to do with SEC recruitment, but it's just a follow-up to the Auburn post.

Like I said, I think that people with those names really do exist in the sorority. Someone found it in the directory, passed the info on, and no one ever thought to check it (or realize that even if "Meg Ryan" is in a group, the movie star's real name isn't that). I don't think it's purposely trying to be deceitful, just a huge case of naivete.

I still sometimes see the myth that the wife of the former CEO of Hallmark is a Zeta (hence the five-pointed crown) on some ZTA collegiate websites. From what I've been told, it's untrue.

A google search of "Hallmark ZTA" will turn up quite a few of these websites.

There was also a rumor going around that Delta Burke is a Zeta. Again, untrue. Again, if you do a google search of "Delta Burke ZTA" you'll find a number of sites with that as well.

Wasn't she a Tri-Delta pledge who never was initiated?

Yes, my family knew someone who was in the chapter with her.

The houses did not have central air conditioning. Most of us came back to school in August with window units. Because they made the house look ugly, people who lived in the front of the house had to TAKE THEIR AIR CONDITIONERS DOWN during rush parties and hide them somewhere. They could put them back at night.

We also did house tours. Girls on the second floor had to keep their rooms neat and coordinate decorations during rush week. We had poster checks, bedspread inspections, the works.

The front rooms at the Zeta house looked out on a lovely courtyard. The back rooms, on an alley. Most people thought that the second floor rooms were more desireable.

For three years, I lived on the third floor, in the back. I just couldn't handle the stress of having to put away everything before parties. Going up an extra flight of stairs every time was worth it to me.

Hope they have central air now!

Some of the other UK folk might know for sure, but I don't think any of the Columbia Terrace houses have central air.

I have no idea about Delta Burke's sorority affiliation but supposedly her character on Designing Women, Suzanne Sugarbaker, was a Mississippi Pi Phi and such references are made throughout the show's airing.

It's so funny how these rumors are created and evolve!

[FSUZeta]

that's funny, because i seem to remember the sugarbaker girls went to unc-chapel hill and were tri deltas. maybe i am thinking of another show?

i too heard the delta burke rumor, but i believe that i remember reading a story about her and she said that she was not a greek.

[ufpiphi]

Okay, how's this for irnoy.
I knew I had physically read the thing about Suzanne Sugarbaker so I remember tonight that the Arrow, Pi Phi's publication, had recently come to the house. Sure enough, in an article entitled "Pi Phi Fact or Fiction" it says the character refers to her days as a Mississippi Beta Pi Phi [in at least one episode].
The funny thing is this entire article is devoted to divulging truths about Pi Phi alumni and dispelling rumors.

Crazy :-)

I believe in one episode Julia said she was a Tri-Delta at Chapel Hill but had gotten kicked out for not wearing a girdle or something like that. However, Dixie Carter is really a Tri-Delta. I don't think Delta Burke went to college.

Kate Jackson said something about the "Kappa" house or being a "Kappa" in one episode of "The Scarecrow & Mrs. King," but she never said "Kappa Kappa Gamma." Kate Jackson is a KKG from Ole Miss--I saw her composite picture!

Where has the summer gone? Here at Alabama Recruitment Workshop begins next week with Recruitment the following.

Sending out my best thoughts and well wishes to all the other Advisors and Alumnae volunteers who give their precious time to help out with Formal Recruitment. Certainly this is a difficult and stressful time for the collegians, but folks often forget how hard it is on the alums who help out. We take time away from our families, stay at the sorority until the wee hours of the morning, go home to get some sleep, get up to get kids off to school and/or get to work, go back and do it all again.

It's difficult physically and emotionally, but we do it because we love our sororities. I for one feel the alum volunteers are the unsung heroines of Recruitment!

Zillini, I hope you will tell us about what's going on at the University of Alabama - how many sign up, etc. Good luck!
By the way, what happened last year when so many NMs did not show up on Bid Day?
