Great posts, but....
These are wonderful posts from lots of great people, but I still haven't found out about Sally Ride! Any Pi Phis out there who can confirm that she's in your organization? If you're not sure, no problem - I've loved all the comments! The ones about Betty Crocker and Aunt Jemimah were funny. BTW - did you know that Mrs. Campbell, of Campbell Soups was a Kappa? Next time you pop open a can of tomato or cream of mushroom soup, check out the fleur-de-lis!

Another US astronaut, Judith Resnik, had been a sorority member from Carnegie Mellon. I think it was AEPhi which was no longer on campus by the time I was an undergraduate. She was killed in the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion in 1986.

Judith Resnik was indeed an AEPhi.

Okay, so I did some research.
Wikipedia states that Sally Ride was born in 1951, and she attended Swarthmore College for awhile but then recieved her BA from Stanford.
So, I'm assuming she was an undergrad around 1969-1973.
Both Swarthmore and Stanford did not have sororities at that time. Both Stanford and Swarthmore abolished them in the 40's, and Stanford did not allow sororities back on campus until 1977.
It seems, maybe, that Sally Ride was never a sorority member at all. These kinds of rumors tend to perpetuate... I mean, I'm constantly hearing that Michelle Pfieffer was an ADPi, but she was never initiated.

They sure do.
Maybe it was Michelle Pfieffer who left her badge on the moon...

And does that mean that Catwoman is an ADPi??

If you want to take some intiative yourself, most, if not all, NPC sororities have a link that'll take you to a listing of their distinguished alumnae. I'd think content on an HQ's website can be considered official content. 
Judging from earlier posts and visits to official HQ websites, you can rule out Sigma Kappa, Pi Beta Phi, and Kappa Delta. I can say and I know for sure that she's not an Alpha Gamma Delta either. You got 22 more to check out if you want.

Acutally Mrs. Campbell was most definitely not a Kappa. Nowhere in our history or database does Kappa claim her has a member. There is no "Mrs. Campbell" even. More likely, the fleur-de-lis on the label is a tie into the award the soup won at the 1900 Paris exhibition, the medal of which is also on the Campbell's soup labels.

EDUCATION: Graduated from Westlake High School, Los Angeles, California, in 1968; received from Stanford University a bachelor of science in Physics and a bachelor of arts in English in 1973, and master of science and doctorate degrees in Physics in 1975 and 1978, respectively.
--------
For those who collect the Baird's books, what were the sororities present at Stanford from 1968 to 1973? Once known, that will narrow the field considerably.

None. They returned in 1978.

Right, but she could have been initiated as an alum.
