Famous person you WISH was in your GLO

[irishpipes]

When I was a pledge I was told for some unknown reason that Carol Burnett was an ADPi. Which made me think strongly about that "pulling the ear thing." But, alas that information was false.

I always heard that she pulled her ear as a shout out to her grandmother. She would have been a good greek catch. I'm sure she would have made an amazing rusher.

Yes, Condi is an Alphi Chi (I think somewhere in Colorado - U. of Denver maybe?) I would love to have her too.

And with all this Ronal Reagan talk, I will wistfully add that I would love to claim Nancy Reagan. I believe she went to Smith, so she is not greek. I realize that she isn't as beloved as R.R. and she definitely has some issues, but she is a lovely lady and certainly was a loyal wife. Above all else, I would have wanted her so her husband could have serenaded the AOIIs!

I would also want Molly Shannon from SNL because I would think any rush skit with her in it would be a scream. ("Come be an AOII so you can be a superstar!")

Nancy Grace - legal-type talk show host on CNN.

Laura Ingraham - lawyer, former collegiate athlete, radio talk show host, former Supreme Court clerk

Also, Candice Olsen from "Divine Design" on HGTV. Not only is she very pretty, but she has a lot of personality and she could redecorate the chapter houses when they need it.

I have to go with what SmartBlondeGPhB and AOII_LB93 said, if they contributed it would be cool.

ADPi has so many famous alums that I am so proud to call my sisters but of the famous ones only a select handful actually do anything with the organization now.

Honestly, it seems like right now our famous alums are more for bragging rights during recruitment.

I would just love for our current famous alums to actually do stuff.

And quite honestly I love the famous alums we have, so right now I really can't think of any other famous people that I would love to see ADPi's. (If that makes sense at all). Plus, the other famous people I like are already greek (ie. Jennifer Garner, Pi Phi).

I think thats right - I also heard it was to say goodnight to her daughter, anyway when I thought she was an ADPi, I thought maybe she may have tried to sneak in some sort of somthing on her show.

Jean Smart got "ADPi Pin" on designing women. I fell over backwards when I heard that on TV.

If I ever get on national tv (again) I will try to get something in about ADPi, unless I am doing something I should be doing .

I don't care about famous people -- however, I wish that as a sister, I could tell Kimberly Williams to get the hell off that According to Jim show. It's embarrassing.

LOL. I needed that laugh right now.




ADPi Conniebama: I now wish I could watch Designing Women so I could see that. That would have been pretty cool to watch. D

I am pretty sure that Condi went to Berkely. She went to school and was friends with the former Dean of Students of San Diego State (who was a Sigma Kappa). Our greek advisor was able to get Condi to sign a picture of herself and give it to SDSU's AXO chapter. Pretty cool.

Well then I stand corrected! Looks like I was misinformed! Thanks for the info

Barbara Bush: she just seems so classy, and I know the later Bush women went Theta, but if Barbara's unaffiliated, can KD have her?

Sarah Michelle Gellar: kicked butt as "Buffy;" would make "our chapter kicks so much butt" a literal statement.

Mary Chapin Carpenter: I really like her music, plus the chapters who performed folksy-country-sounding guitary songs during recruitment always impressed me.

LOL. OMG Buffy is my all-time favorite show. He he.

She would definately make the "chapter kick so much butt", she does have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and did most of her stunts on Buffy (except the ones labeled "dangerous").

You are too late! She is an AI of Pi Beta Phi (recently too, I might add!)

[Stef the Pef]

Awww, that's too bad! Oh well, the Pi Phis are awesome, too, and lucky to have her!

Are you speaking of the current first lady? Because she is a Theta (Beta Sigma chapter/SMU). This info is on the Theta website.
