No offense but, how does a "shooting victim" constitute as someone who is famous? It's unfortunate but, AXiD has many other important/ famous women to mention a unfortunate shooting victim.

Debbie Phelps (and her daughters)-mother a Michael Phelps
Kathryn Stockett-Author of "The Help" which is being adapted into a movie
Dana Ivey-Actress (who just happens to be in the new movie, "The Help")
Evette Simmons-Former President of the National Bar Association (also a Delta Sigma Theta)

Ann Bowden-Wife of Bobby Bowden (FSU Football Coach) and mother of the Bowdens who are coaches at other schools

I'm sure there are more but, I don't want to add anymore, tonight.

She wasn't a victim of a random shooting. The Kent State shootings were a big deal.

But...

same question to you: how are mothers and wives of famous people counted as famous?

I get that the Kent shootings were a big deal but, if we're gonna' go that far-why not make the sorority women who were affected by the Virginia Tech shootings "famous" members, too? It seems odd to me. The Iraq war is also a big deal but, I don't know if my sorority should consider me a "famous" alumna because I was affected by it.

As far as mothers, wives, daughters, etc-you need to check some of the names of people that are considered "famous" because of who they are married to, mothers of, etc. Many of these organizations say, "So-and-So, famous little sister of So-and-So" or "So-and-So, wife of Dr. Seuss" or whoever. If those organizations can do the same thing, I see nothing wrong with saying Debbie Phelps, mother of an Olympic swimmer and an AUTHOR, is famous.

Just some clarifications (I have my new member book right in front of me...and I know it's legit because it came from nationals since I was colony member!)

Marcia Wallace is not an Alpha Xi Delta, nor is Goldie Hawn.
