It's funny. I have heard from so many people that so and so famous person is an XYZ including Bette Midler and Donna Karan are DPhiEs.

I keep hearing Bette Midler over and over again, and I'm 100% certain that she attended the University of Hawaii for at least two years. The Greek system was already established there with the local sororities, but I know for sure she wasn't a part of it. She left school to move to New York immediately after her sophomore year.

Even though we did have an astonaut, I hope to never see her name on a recruitment shirt...............that would just be sick (since she died in the Columbia disaster).

But yes, what is the big deal............

You're absolutely right OTW. Bette went to the University of Hawaii, and never finished, and she is not a D Phi E. Cracks me up...never heard the Donna Karan one...that's a riot!!

ETA George Washington and John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt were also Phi Psis. I forgot about them.

You can keep JJJS - That guy is an asshole, always making people shout his name all the time...<shakes head>

This chick was adamant about it. "I have a friend who knows a D Phi E from NYU who told my friend that Donna Karan was a sister from that chapter." She had proof! Apparently, the chapter used to receive free DK clothes and stuff. I have no idea if that's true or not so I said that maybe an alumna worked for Donna Karan. She still insisted. I didn't want to argue with her so I said that I'd check the website. It was kind of weird.

I honestly didn't know - how tragic!

What about that guy from Nantucket? Wasn't he in a fraternity?

This thread is cracking me up!

I keep seeing in places that Carole King is an AGD... however I don't know for sure. She IS an awesome songwriter though.

My friend keeps claiming that God is a Pike.

Too bad God's a woman and She had to be AGD!

When did Donna Karan go to NYU? What years...compare them with their founding....I know they're a recol.

I keep seeing Anne Klein on ADPi lists. Ladies, she designed all that beautiful lion jewelry because she's a LEO, not an ADPi!!!

Unless she's been made an honorable sister while I was napping...

Does this mean that Mrs. Campbell is not a Kappa, and those fleur de lis on the soup cans are *gasp* meaningless?

But they told us that back in pledge education 20 years ago! I've heard it enough times that it must be true!!

ROFLMAO... thank for the giggles I needed it.

Okay, so this is slightly embarrassing, but I'll post it anyway...


When I first pledged Delta Zeta, I was told that Betty Crocker was a DZ. Well, being the fiesty new member I was, I told my family, friends...like they cared or something! One day, I mentioned this to my dad...he started cracking up and told me that I needed to check my facts before i told anyone else. I was very offended, saying that I knew it was true. Well, about half an hour later, Daddy proudly walked into my bedroom and showed my an internet article stating that Betty Crocker was indeed made up!!! Learned my lesson, that's for sure!!!!

And I agree with everyone else...what is the bid deal????

I'm sure if Ms. King was one of us, she'd be listed under official Accomplished Alpha Gams on the IHQ site.

And yes, it's been noted before, God is indeed an Alpha Gam.
