GLO Famous Members Urban Legends

[AXWhoah]

She went to Chapman in Orange County. I just watched the Full House thing on E! but it didn't mention any membership in a sorority.

Mrs Dr Seuss is NOT a Sigma Kappa!

I know a lot of people mentioned Cindy Crawford was rumored to be a Pi Phi pledge at Northwestern. I had always heard the urban legend that she was a Sigma Kappa at Michigan!

I decided to search the web for pages listing famous Tri Deltas. Here are some of those that various webpages are claiming even though the national webpage doesn't list them:


Heather Locklear
Mrs. Neil Armstrong
Grace Kelly
Liz Claiborne

My uncle is a Delta Chi from Cal State Fullerton, and told me that Kevin Costner pledged a couple of semesters after he did. I looked it up on the Delta Chi website, and they do have him listed. I think it's pretty cool that my uncle knows Kevin Costner, and that they're brothers!

Jodie Sweeden (Full House, stephanie) is an alpha phi somewhere in CA.

Jodie Sweeden pledged Alpha Phi at Chapman University several years ago but was never initiated into Alpha Phi.

Edited to add that it's always been my understanding that Heather Locklear was a member of the Tri-Delt chapter at UCLA. I don't think it's an urban legend b/c they have pix of her in their slideshow (or at least they did when I went through school).

To clear up the Blanche/Rue Mclahanan being an ADGRPSE
She is a member of Kappa Alpha Theta
In an interview she was asked:

Do you spend any time with your sorority sisters in Kappa Alpha Theta? Theta is VERY proud to have you as a member!

Rue McClanahan: I spend my social time, which is limited, with a couple of close friends, one or two, and my husband.

You can find this on Lifetime.com under interviews.

We went over this last summer when I looked it up. Neil Armstrongs first wife, who he was married to for 30 odd years (though she died a couple of years ago) was an Alpha Chi Omega and it is registered as such on our national website. He does have a new wife so maybe she's a Tri-Delta but the woman he was married to longest was an Alpha Chi. And the thing about Cindy Crawford at Michigan. She went to Northwestern for sure, I heard her say it in an interview.

I assumed that if she was actually a Tri Delt, they'd list her on the national website. Earlier in this thread, though, we discussed the possibility that she was a pledge (of either Tri Delt or Chi O) but never initiated. You do hear her linked with Tri Delta and Chi Omega a lot, but there's no real proof anywhere that she was actually initiated into either one.

So I just heard an urban legend today....

I don't know if Key Foods (the grocery store) is a national chain or whatever, but today someone at work today said they think the founder's wife was a Kappa Kappa Gamma. Though they couldn't name the guy, they were sure it was in honor of his wife. Since this just seems very strange, I doubt it can be true.

The things people come up with is bizzare sometimes...

Here's a TOTALLY unsubstantiated urban legend. Rumor had it on the Ohio University campus when I was there that there was a former Tri-Delt chapter sometime during the 40's or 50's that threw a nude party and was banished from campus until every member of that chapter is dead.

Talk about the death penalty! Remember, this was in a far more conservative time, sexually speaking, so I suppose it could be true.

Speaking of the "they're thrown off campus until all their chapter alums die", we have that here at W&L about the Delts!

In 1995, the Delts took sledgehammers to their house and destroyed it (it was due for a renovation anyway, and that made them mad... or something). Supposedly they collapsed the whole third floor. I don't know about that, but it is substantiated that they at least knocked holes in the floor. Since the University owns GLO housing, they were kicked off campus pretty quick. And thus we have all sorts of crazy rumors about it.

Swell.

Just the kind of thing I like to hear. I'm going to see if I can find anything out about that since I didn't hear about it then!

I saw it too, and even though I know Fiji is an island, this was a purple shirt, with big white letters FIJI across the front, looked a lot like the shirts the FIJI's at my school wore...

Plus this one had something on the back, didn't it say "KGB" or something like that?
