From the AGD IHQ Site.

I've heard from different sources that Carly Simon is an AGD. I sent her an email asking, but it hasn't been answered so....

I heard that Carole King was. I think they're pullin' our chains .


They changed the list recently - wasn't Betty White from the Golden Girls on it???

though I love the badges that are the org's secret letters on top of each other (like CW, AF, AGD, AOP) because they're so symbolic.

... Those aren't secret letters... they're Alpha Gamma Delta on top of one another...

The had the famous Alpha Gams up since the last revised website (the red one) in 2001, but Betty was never on it. There was talk about how she's a DZ, but she's not a DZ either.

Hmmm I could have sworn I saw it there a while ago but maybe my eyes were just playing tricks on me

lucky us.

Hey, I like Ann Coulter. She's one smart cookie, whether or not you agree with her politics, and a successful writer. I'd be proud if she was part of my GLO.

I think the reason HotDamnImAPhiMu (btw, that's a great name) called them "secret" letters is that nobody but the people initiated into that GLO know the significance of the letters, ergo, they are secret.

I never knew that Barbara Bush II (Laura and W's daughter) was a Theta---I always knew that Jenna was, but I'd never heard any rumblings about Barbara being one, but I looked it up on the internet and found an article saying she was. That's hot. Just wanted to say.

True. I thought she thought they were secret letters as in no one knows what they are, but if you look at even a picture of one of our badges you'd know what the letters were, given the organization.
