OMG!! I forgot about Ned Nickerson's fraternity!! I can't remember if it was ever mentioned by name, but I DO remember in one of the books that Nancy was kidnapped by some bad guys after a fraternity formal.

I'll have to see if I can find my dusty, musty old Nancy Drew books...

Oh yes, because that is my goal in life. Get over yourself. Just because you don't like it, I'm not allowed to have an opinion?

You asked, we answered. Don't ask the question if you don't really want to know the answer.

OMG!!! I totally wanted to list Nancy Drew but I thought everyone would think I was nuts! I am an avid collector.

Ned Nickerson is a member of Omega Chi Epsilon at Emerson College (but, in some books it is Chi Omega Epsilon!!!.)

I for one think this is absolute bulls***. I don't really wish that any one person in particular is/was a member of my GLO just because said person is famous, fictional or not. Hell the founders of H&R Block were members of my GLO but I don't go hitting up the local branch for donations.

Eh, it's just a thread, not a big deal. I don't think anyone should get all heated about it.

I'd take Touissant L'Overture. He beat Napoleon. Or Jarome Iglinla.

He did NOT go to college, but TKE offered him honorary memebership. It just barely counts, but he is a TKE

[SurfinDBeach]

Yep, this is on the other thread...

But yeah, Elvis is an honorary member for his contributions to the chapter at Arkansas State University, fully initated and approved by the Grand Chapter and International Headquarters...
