Anyone who wears larger than a size 12 is considered "plus size".

...which is NUTZ. I'm just saying . . .that is a beautiful WOMAN instead of all those twiggy little girls who are the non-plus sized models.

In modeling, I think it's actually a size 8 or 10 that's considered plus size.

Anyway, a few years ago, Gamma Phi Beta actually sent out a letter to all members telling them that a gal on that season's Real World was NOT a member. I think her name was Johanna, and I think it was the Austin season. She would wear her letters on camera, and she was often drunk (not necessarily while in letters) and hooking up with random guys. Apparently it alarmed members, because they felt the need to tell everyone that at one point she was a member, but that she had terminated her membership prior to going on the show.

She was definitely bigger and shaped differently than the other contestants. She was smaller than the average woman but had more of a tall, average woman's figure than that of a "supermodel."

She was also the oldest contestant that season, I believe. You could tell.

Well, the topic is about putting reality tv stars on our "famous Greeks" lists. Everything from ANTM Cycle 1 had slipped my memory.

The Sorors from ANTM Cycle 1 weren't an embarassment and that's great. However, they also won't be found on a "Notable Deltas" NHQ list or most chapters' lists.

I can't believe that's plus size.

Kefla Hare from Road Rules Australia and Gabriel Langley from the first season of College Hill are both Alphas. I include them on the notable Alpha list that I personally maintain because:

1) Neither seemed to disgrace themselves or the fraternity.
2) Each proudly represented the fraternity while on the air.
3) Kefla was EXTREMELY popular among college students at the time.
4) Gabriel was considered to be part of the first all-black reality show, as BET described it.

I don't include Sean from Road Rules Semester at Sea because he was not an Alpha at the time of filming.

But this is my own list that I maintain as a service/courtesy to brothers and members of the public who might say "Oh, I didn't know ______ is an Alpha!"

It's not finished, but here's a looksie: http://mulambda.org/page.php?parent_id=&page_id=15979

I remember one of the challenges where Kefla did the Alpha sign as he was about to bunjee jump. It was cute.

Shudder...the one name that keeps going through my head while reading this thread is Ann Coulter.

Well, that's a good one to bring up. (BTW, I don't remember which GLO she's in and I really don't care) Some people would shudder to have her as a member...some people would be proud. Same with anyone controversial, or even non-controversial people for that matter. I mean, some of these actresses that everyone is so proud to say they were a member, I wouldn't be. Not because they're controversial, but because I personally just don't care for them.

Well, say what you will, but sisters like Ann Coulter and Nancy Grace have certainly achieved a level of success in their field. So whether or not you like them, that achievement is worthy of recognition. It's nice to know you share a bond with certain women of achievement - but I don't think anyone joins a GLO because of the alumni.

First, Ann Coulter is vapid--this has nothing to do with her politics--she wouldn't know logic if it hit her upside the head.

Second, of course we join because of alumni, just not necessarily the "famous" ones.
