@lanesig
Good point!!!!
And while I'm thinking about it.How many of these famous celebs are active financially and chapter wise?I mean, true its nice to have these people listed in your membership but, if they aren't doing anything within their chapter actively or financally then whats the point of braggin' about who's a member?Because I know a whole lot of "letter wearers" who take part in the membership intake process but, DONT EVEN PAY THEIR DUES!  and Im quite sure you some of them....

Because threads with duplicate lists suck:
Famous Greeks...or are they?
Doing a search on Famous Greeks came up on the first page. I don't know what's so hard about doing that.

Here is a link to the famous alumni page from www.delts.org.
Like most, it is out of date, but will suffice:
http://delts.org/About/Heritage/Famous.aspx
I'm not listed. So sad.
Probably the best known "current" Delt Alum would be this guy:
But I also like to point out a local Denver resident, NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl MVP John Elway.
