Famous People in Your Fraternity/Sorority

My favorite famous Sigma Kappa would have to be Sarah Weddington. She was one of two attorneys representing "Jane Roe" in Roe v. Wade. Regardless of your thoughts on Roe v. Wade, it is cool that she is the youngest person to win a case before the United States Supreme Court.
