IDK why I'm just seeing this now, but my Dead Head hubby was impressed!

Cool article on Daddy and John Mayer crashing an Alpha Phi fundraiser!

It's fun to peruse old fraternal National Alumnae Directories and find the names of celebrities/near-celebrities you never knew were members of your college greek organization. Interestingly, some of these celebrities have never been very public about their greek affiliation.

Looking-up names of people who live/have lived in your hometown, or perhaps noting a previous owner of your current home, in same directories is often enlightening. It was in an old alumnae directory that I discovered one of my HS teachers and her twin were both members of my sorority!

Of course Sasha Obama would be every chapter’s Rush Crush!

Michigan’s Fall Recruitment goes from Sept 14 - 17 (upperclass only).
Spring Recruitment goes from Jan. 7 - 19 (day before classes start and weekends)

As for the article’s last line about Malia, it might be a challenge for her to join at Harvard ... because, well, Harvard.

Gabrielle Carteris, Xi Alpha (University of Colorado Boulder) is a special initiate of Phi Mu. Her younger daughter is also a Phi Mu from the same chapter.

Talked to the House Director at USC KKG this week and here are more celebrity daughters in this chapter:
Catherine Bach (“Daisy Duke” from “The Dukes of Hazzard” and now on the soap opera “Y & R”) - her daughter is a member. (On “The Young and the Restless”, the actress who plays her daughter, Melissa Claire Egan, is a Chi Omega alumna.)
Blair Underwood (“LA Law”, “Sex and the City”) - his daughter is a new member
Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith - daughter, Stella, is now a KKG alumna and graduated in 2018

An article that popped up on my yahoo feed about Hailie Scott, Eminem’s daughter. It mentions that she is a member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Wally Funk, the oldest woman in space is an ΑΧΩ from our Oklahoma State chapter. So glad she got to finally live her dream.

Gotta go, Wanna go, ΑΧΩ!

Hopie Carlson, daughter of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, is a Kappa Alpha Theta at the University of Virginia (possibly just graduated). Her younger sister, Dorothy, is 18 and just graduated from high school. No info on where she’s going to college.

Bryce Drummond (son of Food Network host, Ree Drummond) is starting college at the University of North Texas, where he is on the UNT football team. Since his mom is a Pi Beta Phi alumna and both his older sisters are/were Greek in college (Texas A&M, Arkansas), it’s probably a good bet he’ll join at fraternity at UNT.

Her foster son, Jamar (goes by Drummond as his last name), is starting college at the University of Central Oklahoma and on the UCO football team.

Ree posts family updates on her social media so if you see if either son has joined a fraternity, please add.

Yeah, I think her daughters went Tri Delt and Kappa.

Lot of celebrity kids who are or have been students at Duke. Anyone know if they were involved in Greek life?

Sascha is a junior, her brother Julian is an incoming freshman.
Jessica Springsteen (Bruce’s daughter), graduated 2014 (& 2021 Olympic silver medalist, equestrian).
Matthew Lowe (Rob’s son), graduated 2016. (His brother graduated from Stanford and was not Greek, so kinda doubt it.)
Hud Mellencamp (John’s son) who was a walk-on for Duke football in 2015.

Rob Lowe's son was in a fraternity at Duke. Rob talked about stoping by the house and hanging out with the actives.

Thanks for the info. From google, Matthew Lowe is an Alpha Delta Phi (social Greek fraternity founded in 1832 with just over 30 chapters nationwide).
