Oooh AZTheta! I didn't even think about the children of famous people coming through!
I could be wrong- but from what I remember... Lynda Bird Johnson pledged the year before her father became President (was still VP) though... however Susan Ford (also a ZTA) pledged while her father was President!
I wonder if secret service had to come to the parties with the girls? Now that thought makes me giggle!!!!

I knew someone who was an active Zeta while Lynda Bird was in the Texas chapter. She said that the Secret Service was pretty annoying and that they had special rooms to stay in.

Was sticking to your topic - the famous rec writer being Laura Bush, writing for her daughers (legacy recs). Didn't mean to derail the thread - sorry!

I always wondered if the chapters had to try to find Secret Service agents who were initiated Thetas or ZTAs to be in the initiation room during the ceremony for Susan Ford and the Bush twins!

My understanding is that the Secret Service agents simply stood outside of each event. Obviously, they would check out the house/room prior to the event.

My school tends to attract celebrity kids, many of whom go Greek. This year we had Bill Gates and Katie Couric's daughters pledge sororities, and Tom Hanks and Rob Lowe's sons pledge fraternities, among others. We're pretty used to bigger names so it wasn't a huge hullabaloo during recruitment.

Oh, you have to spill the beans, t*p!! I know that Katie Couric is a Tri Delta, did her daughter pledge her legacy chapter? How about the rest?

Katie Couric's daughter pledged Theta. That is her younger daughter. He older daughter is also a Theta, from the Yale chapter.
Interestingly, Melinda Gates is also a Theta, but I am not seeing her daughter's name in our Sister Search.

Correct, Katie Couric's daughter went Theta. Melinda Gates' daughter went Pi Phi. Rob Lowe's son went Kappa Alpha, and Tom Hanks' son Theta Delta Chi.
