Did you pledge someone famous?

[mccoyred]

You are correct, Soror Knight-Pulliam pledged at Spelman College. I beleive it was a couple of years ago, though.

I'm sure one of the members of Delta Sigma Theta can verify this, but "Little Rudy Huxtable" (Keshia Knight Pullman --hope I got her name right) from the Cosby show pledged Delta at Spelman College in Atlanta about a year or so ago.

My chapter of fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi had a chance to initiate Shaquille O'Neal when he was a full time student here at LSU in the early 1990's. But, they didn't because the basketball season, etc. Shaq would not allow him have the same pledge process as everyone else from my chapter

There goes the neighborhood. Jerry Maguire has entered the FORUM. Frat please remember what I told you, O.K.

Now that we have that out of the way, SHAQ tried to pledge at NU IOTA? I didn't know that. One of my professors told me that he got into a scuffle or something of that nature with some brus around that time. That doesn't suprise me...

although everyone probably knows this, Sela Ward (Sisters, Once and Again)was a cheerleader and a Chi-O at the University of Albama when my dad was there in the early 70's.

First of all, I love Britney Spears (her music and style). I think she is a great performer (even though she does not sing all the time). Her style is the bomb. And for those who hate her, GET A LIFE.

P.S. I hope she does join Chi-O. It is the best soroity (as in looks, money, and style).

Did he try to pledge Kappa, too? I knew he was an Omega (alumni chapter), partially 'cause the coach at LSU told him his scholarship would be gone if he pledged during his college basketball years. I read that in The Divine Nine.

I don't know if any famous kids have pledged at this chapter, but enough children of somewhat well-known people attended this school, so who knows. JFK Jr. lived down the hall from where I lived last year, and his frat is in the same building as my sorority.

Well..Chris Evert's brother was a Fiji while I was at Auburn, Charlie Rich's daughter was a Kappa while I was at Arkansas. While I was at Mississippi State, I sponsored the cheerleaders and I remember Sela Ward at camp because I can still picture her face when this happened. One of our guys went to throw a piece of chocolate pie at one of the Bama guys but the guy ducked and the pie winged their girls. On their all-white uniforms.

Soror Knight-Pulliam crossed in 1999

we recently initiated a Congressman in my Lambda Chi chapter at Murray State University. He actually went through with me even though he was Honorary Initiate. But he was in my associate class, which is cool.

And for those that think she is "the bomb" - GET A LIFE. We can all agree to have differing opinions on the girl - and I think that her choices in what she "doesn't" wear speaks in and of itself as far as having class is concerned.

As far as the ORIGINAL topic is concerned - I think it would be hard to pledge someone who would have such significant time restraints. Part of becoming a sister is that you bond together by spending time together doing activities and all. My pledge-sisters and I were pretty much inseparable even when we weren't doing chapter stuff. I would just want her to realize that its more than sticking 3 letters across your chest and saying "I'm an XYZ" -- you have to live it to understand it.

PS - I never thought someone would actually admit that all their sorority is "best" in was looks, money, and style. I'd rather pride myself on my sorority having "sisterhood, true friendship, and class!"

AXO Alum-

"ouch" - you just said this morning in your other post

"It has come to my attention that I've been rather negative lately (I'll blame it on the cold winter blahs)..."

While I do agree- no one sorority is "the best" - I am going to assume by the 2000 in her screen name that she just pledged and I think when I first pledged- I probably did the same thing until an active set me straight.

I'm with you though- I can't wait for summer and days where the sun stays out till 7:30 at night.

Yes I've been of the negative mindset lately, but da%^, that was just wrong to tell other people to get a life because they don't like Britney Spears (and especially since that wasn't the topic of conversation anyway!) I just want think, IMHO, that using terms like "looks and money" should be considered carefully -- I would use it more as an insult to other sororities than a compliment -- but that's just me, myself, and I. You can email me at my GC address if you want to discuss it further so others can get back to the topic here.

I think every sorority would like to see brittney spears join their sorority so stop kidding yourselves. It'd be a way to use her name to have a good recruitment in the future. Some girls may not like her but everyone would agree that it would be a good movie for your sorority. Same thing goes with famous people joining a fraternity.

[Allie_XO]

I don't think that Brittany Spears would make a good Greek. I think that it would reflect badly on any group. Think about it - instead of people saying "Oh, did you hear about this and that wonderful thing that XYZ did" they'd say "I heard that Brittany Spears did this and that wonderful thing." Also, I don't think that Spears could give the chapter what it deserved, and the chapter would be too intimidated of her to treat her like everyone else. And frankly, everytime I see her behaving like she does (you know what I mean) I get so humiliated to be in the same age group as she. This is the model late-teen/early 20 something? Ugh! She freaks be out.

And I desagree with the whole thing about no sororiy being the best. I think each sorority is the best for the girls in it.

Gee,

I'm beginning to feel sorry that I brought the whole topic about Britney Spears up in the first place.

I only made the observation based on the fact I attend LSU and have seen the atmoshepre that is the Greek system. I only said what I said because most people(especially the media) are anti-greek. The school newspaper hardly ever prints the good stuff greeks do,but will print that two franterties got into a fight in a heartbeat. If Britney were to rush her, I don't think that the reporters would be very objective. But this is my opinion.
