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??

I'm still waiting for some sorority to claim Cleopatra as a famous member. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say she's a Sigma Kappa because of the snakes.

True, but Phi Sigma Sigma has that whole Sphinx thing going.
Maybe they should both claim her and fight it out.

I heard she left her badge on the moon. They should send someone up there to see which one it is.

Chi O's Pat Schroder
I regret that I used the past tense ("was") rather than the present tense ("is") of the verb when describing the relationship of former Congresswoman Pat Schroder to Chi Omega.
I sometimes be English not write so goodly.

Mrs. Campbell and KKG
By the way, a search of websites turns up dozens of references (including Baylor and U of Kentucky KKG chapters) to Mrs. Campbell and Kappa.

As someone already pointed out earlier, the Fraternity's Web team is working on correcting that information on chapter websites, but with officer turnover and limited womanpower, it is a difficult task.
Just because it's on some chapter's site on teh intarweb doesn't mean it's true.
