I don't recall seeing any Deltas on reality tv or ever seeing a reality tv star on the "Notable Deltas" list. You have to come a lot stronger than just 15 minutes of fame that has no lasting societal influence and public service.

There was Robin Manning, the plus-sized model from Season 1 of America's Next Top Model... she was one of two girls that refused to pose nude because of her religious and moral beliefs. Good for her!
Oh... and she represented DST correctly!

Anyone who wears larger than a size 12 is considered "plus size".

...which is NUTZ. I'm just saying . . .that is a beautiful WOMAN instead of all those twiggy little girls who are the non-plus sized models.

In modeling, I think it's actually a size 8 or 10 that's considered plus size.

Anyway, a few years ago, Gamma Phi Beta actually sent out a letter to all members telling them that a gal on that season's Real World was NOT a member. I think her name was Johanna, and I think it was the Austin season. She would wear her letters on camera, and she was often drunk (not necessarily while in letters) and hooking up with random guys. Apparently it alarmed members, because they felt the need to tell everyone that at one point she was a member, but that she had terminated her membership prior to going on the show.

That's interesting-I didn't even realize Nancy Grace was a member of a GLO. I'm pretty sure Ann Coulter is a Delta Gamma but, do you know what org. Nancy Grace is a member of?

On most of the couture retail shops I see, 12 is list in regular and 14 is listed as plus.

Nancy Grace is a Macon Magnolia...a member of our "sibling", Alpha Delta Pi.

Well, the topic is about putting reality tv stars on our "famous Greeks" lists.

Everything from ANTM Cycle 1 had slipped my memory.

The Sorors from ANTM Cycle 1 weren't an embarassment and that's great. However, they also won't be found on a "Notable Deltas" NHQ list or most chapters' lists.

She was definitely bigger and shaped differently than the other contestants. She was smaller than the average woman but had more of a tall, average woman's figure than that of a "supermodel."

She was also the oldest contestant that season, I believe. You could tell.

I know that. My point was that models who are average size at 8, 10 or 12 are considered plus size models. "Normal" models are sizes 0, 2 or 4.

I'm probably the last one on the face of the earth to know this - but I recently saw Carrie Underwood's "All American Girl" video, in which, she was wearing a Sigma Sigma Sigma jersey. I looked on GC and saw there was a thread about her in the sigma forum. Prior to that I wasnt sure if she was wearing the jersey, just to wear it, or if she was actually a member.

And yeah - that "plus size" model was gorgeous.
