Favorite Alums

Covering both viewpoints, I'll say Judy Woodruff (Omicron chapter) and Nancy Grace (Delta Theta chapter) are possibly the most well known, although Jean Smart (Alpha Theta chapter) is probably my favorite!

My favorite would have to be Kimberly Williams Paisley (from Father of the Bride fame...and also married to Brad Paisley).

My mom likes the fact that Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine from Star Trek) is an Alpha Phi!

And of course from my high school days---Maile Misajon! I loved her in Eden's Crush

Actually, I have a follow up, too.

We have all listed famous people becasue that's what a thread like this expects I suppose.

The truth is that I have two other favorite alums.

One is Chauncy "Spike" Frisbee, a graduate of our former University of Colorado chapter in the late 1940's. I have yet to meet anyone who is more dedicated to the Fraternity.

Another is Larry Swanson, who graduated from Washington State University probably sometime in the late 1950's. He was (probably still is) our chapter advisor at the University of Northern Colorado. He took that position after our chapter at Wyoming folded. He has won the Venable Award as outstanding chapter advisor in our Western Plains Division.

Both men are members of our Distinguished Service Chapter.

There are also a couple of deceased brothers that I greatly admired -- men who gave freely of their "time, talent and treasure" as they say and who, to me, embody the spirit of our brotherhood.
