I hate to burst your bubble, but according to the director's commentary on the DVD (yes, I love Legally Blonde so much that I sat through the commentary...really interesting, actually) the Delta Nu house was an old private girls' school in Pasadena, or thereabouts.  Also, it was a Delta Gamma chapter that they based Delta Nu off of, not Delta Zeta. I do agree, however, that the similarities between DN and DZ are striking!

Actually, the quote is "Pink is my signature color."
Not to quibble, but is one of my fave movies!

In the beginning, when the girl on her bike arrives at the Delta Nu house, it shows her going up the stairs...the camera pans from the floor up and you can see DN...for a split second it looks like DZ...and if you'll notice, the Z in DZ looks like an N sideways! I watched the movie again and sure enough, you can see it briefly in the beginning!

When I saw that movie, I was thinking Delta Zeta too!
In Van Wilder, there are a few Phi Mu things, but not sure if it is related. There is a lot of pink and white, and one of the guys falls out of a window into a fountain. The fountain is shaped in a quatrafoil!

Well darn! I'm going to make sure that if I ever become famous, I'll incorporate DZ into something I do! Meanwhile, I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for DZ realted stuff elsewhere....

There is supposed to be Theta Chi stuff in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, like our badge in the tank scene but I can't find it. Maybe should watch it again and not at four in the morning and reading the newspaper.
Anyway, Indiana Jones is always with snakes, our symbol. It was our symbol first and then Sigma Nu stole it. j/k.

 Julia Roberts was in a movie called "Something to Talk About" a few years ago. Her character in the movie was a Chi O.

Well, the colors of Delta Nu are the same as Delta Zeta's but if you look at the Delta Nu crest and compare it to the Delta Gamma crest, they are virtually identical.
Just change the rose at the top to a chihuahua head and you have the crest of Delta Nu!
Apparently in the book "Legally Blonde" by Amanda Brown, (the movie was based on the book) Elle is a Delta Gamma and the girl who commits the crime (can't remember her name) is a Kappa Kappa Gamma.

Wait...Legally Blonde is a BOOK!? Man, I am soooo out of the loop on this one!  I feel so silly...oh well; maybe Florence Henderson will make a movie and cram it full of DZ references!

In the move Drumline - which if I can remeber correctly - comes out soon... there are many TBS and KKY references!!! There crests and letters from what the article in the Podium says...
And then...
In the new Road Rules - the mission where they step, the dot com team is in the band room, and they show a Kappa Kappa Psi crest and then if you look close theres a big wooden gold Sigma leaning up aganst the wall, probobly with a Tau and Beta beneith it!!!

famous stuff
TKE was in Playboys SEC issue, it is the TKE house at University of Georgia. Also the guy who plays the Gay guy in "As good as it gets" is supposed to be a TKE...I think his name is Greg Kaneer or something,and Ronald Reagan was a TKE, I wonder if he put any TKE things in his movies?

Betsey Johnson is an AXD, and there are a lot of pink roses on the background of her site!
