That hook made me cringe! Lol!

I doubt Percy Miller (Master P) is an Omega. He went to Houston, I think, on a basketball scholarship but dropped out before basketball season started and then he went to some small school. Don't think he lasted long there either. I remember seeing an interview with him about how wanted to make sure his kids have college degrees since he doesn't.

It is amazing to hear and see all the 'urban legend-ary members' of GLOs across the country. More to dispel, Cybil Shepherd is not a Chi Omega, and Princess Grace is not a Delta Delta Delta,….Panhell love….

Oh look, from 2003 in this very thread

And from the same year and this very same thread, too!

But thanks for repeating what has already been said. Panhell love!

Got some new ones for you!

Malcolm Jenkins, Safety for the Philadelphia Eagles, is an Omega Psi Phi. I've even seen the Omega brand on his arm.
Terrence Jenkins, former co-host for E! News, is also an Omega.
(One day, I'll ask Malcolm if he's related to Terrence.)

Newly announced Miss Golden Globe 2017, Sophia Stallone (Sylvester Stallone's daughter), is a Delta Gamma (sophomore) at USC (SoCal). https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/sylv...020500338.html

Olympic Figure Skater Polina Edmonds is a Delta Gamma at Santa Clara, Fall 2016 recruitment class.

Can't remember if I posted once upon a time when this thread of new (no working brain cells left in my head). When I was in school in the dark ages we were were told

1. Betty Crocker was a KD (seems a lot groups claim her)
2) Former First Lady Pat Nixon. I was surprised when I went to convention a few months after her death that she wasn't mentioned during the memorial service. Finally dawned on me-- URBAN LEGEND
3) Sophia Loren supposedly went to my school, pledged Alpha Phi and was asked to de-pledge due to morals. Never saw her name on any alumni list for the school

This is the wackiest one I've heard yet. Sophia didn't even come to America till she was almost past college age and when she did, it was to make movies.

Proof that these go very far back:

I'm currently doing a history paper on the early history of sororities at William & Mary, and in the 1949 and 1950 Greek Guides Dinah Shore is listed as an alum of Tri-Delta. I recognized her name from Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Song (talk about dating myself here) and thought it was interesting that they had a Jewish alum, so I did some searching and it turns out she was a well-known member of Alpha Epsilon Phi at Vanderbilt. Just goes to show that you can't always trust historical records either!

I think some of the urban legends started when So and So pledge XYZ, but never initiated. Two women I can think of off the top of my head are Farrah Fawcett (pledged Tri Delta, never initiated) and Michelle Pfeiffer (pledged ADPi, never initiated).

My own theory of so many GLOs claiming Betty Crocker is how many different models there were for Betty. Either that, or every sorority in the 1940s-1950s were hot to claim her!

I have only ever seen Michelle Pfeiffer tied to a two-year institution in California that for obvious reasons never had and doesn't have an ADPi chapter. What school did she pledge and not initiate at?

Honestly don't remember, but I think it was in Texas.

I think.
