Trista didn't slut it up on TV so, I can see why AXO is proud to call her a sister. Phi Mu has had some Reality Stars like Sarah Stone (the winner of) "The Bachelor" season 8 and MTV's "Two-A-Days" Kristin Boyle. In fact, it seems as though many of the NPCs are proud of their "Reality Stars" such as:
AXO-Sarah Jones (Survivor 4) and Aubrey O'Day (Making the Band)
ADPi-Ellen Cho (Road Rules 10)
AEPhi- Colie (Real World 18-Denver)
AGD- Amber Birkich (Survivor 2) and Meredith Phillips (The Bachelor)
APhi-Eliza Orlins (Survivor 9)
AXiD-Jen Schefft (The Bachelorette)
ChiO- Trishelle (Real World 12) and Brooke (Real World 18)
DG- Holly Shand (Road Rules 7)
DPhiE- Parisa (Real World 19)
GPhiB- Johana (Real World 16-still listed even though she terminated memb.)
PiPhi- Kelley (Real World 9)
TriSig-Suzie (The Bachelor)
ZTA- Jenna Morasca (Survivor 6), Kirsten Buschbacher (The Bachelor), and Keri Evans (Real World 11)
Keep in mind this list DOES NOT include members of fraternities (which they have some reality stars listed, as well). So, before you assume that I'm trying to talk up my org. please recognize that I wasn't even speaking up on behalf of my org-it was for Kappa. I think it's great to see people from Greek Orgs. on Tv if they conduct themselves in a respectable manner. I have tons of Greek pride in ALL the Greek organizations. In fact, my cousin is a DPhiE and I was excited to learn that one of my friends from H.S. is a Zeta-even if it's not my sorority-it's great to hear people getting involved...that's all....  |
Look, little girl, you can take your Wikipedia/Greek101 list 'o Reality Greeks and shove it up your ass.
First of all, I'm well aware that several GLOs do recognize their reality show members. I specifically asked about REALITY DATING SHOWS.
Second, just because a reality star is a member doesn't necessarily mean the HQ will officially recognize them on their website or official publication. Show me where AGD IHQ proudly calls Meredith Phillips an 'Accomplished Alum.' Oh wait, you can't...because apparently she wasn't in good standing when she left Oregon State. And I recall a discussion here years ago about Trishelle and Chi Omega. Show me where her name is on the Outstanding Chi Omegas list. That's right...YOU CAN'T!
I like to think that HQs are quite selective when it comes to lists of notable/accomplished/distinguished alumnae. Again, with the exception of AXO and Trista, somehow I don't think reality show contestant/winner is a resume boost to get you there, let alone someone who appears on a dating show pining over a man who sucks face with 19 other women.
I'd be quicker to recognize a member who does things for the community, a member who introduces legislation to make this a safer place, and a member who inspires honesty and acts of selflessness than a reality TV "star" any day.
