The Sorority Life

[ChiOmegaMOM2]

If you have a question about a famous person's Chi Omega affiliation, why don't you call HQ in Memphis and ask? I saw it on the FSU website and believe she is a member, but obviously have no concrete proof other than that listing.

Can we please take the psycho posts out of this thread?

I don't think a list of all successful sorority women would be feasible. There are just too many!

Admittedly, this is a very incomplete list. However, I would think that Cybill Shepherd would merit a listing if Sela Ward does - she is more well-known, I believe.

Here is a more thorough list, and it still doesn't list Cybill as a Chi Omega.

And it's from the official Chi Omega website for New Members.

Just because school websites have her listed doesn't mean she's a member. Shoot, many schools have Jodi Sweeten listed as an Alpha Phi and she isn't.

Unless Jodie Sweeten joined in rehab for crystal meth. I'm glad she's gotten her life back together, though...

Because I don't care enough - although I found the ladies at Chi Omega HQ to be wonderful during my visit and the installation of the memorial brick for my mil, I really don't want to waste their time with this.

So, barring confirmation from HQ (via the website, which we've established is not forth coming) I'm saying Cybill Shepherd is no more a Chi Omega than Reese Witherspoon is a Gamma Phi (she too is listed on many chapter websites, but not the international website.)If you want to argue that she is, I'd say the burden of proof is on you. Call HQ and find out.

This was certainly not directed at you...I was responding to some of the other posters that seemed to want to argue over a web site. I shouldn't reply to message boards so early in the morning.
I used to like to watch Moonlighting years ago, but like you, I don't care what, if any, greek affiliation most famous people are.

Fair enough - sorry if I came off as snarky. We've just had so many "OMG DID YOU KNOW ____________ is an ABC???!!!" posts, based purely on chapter websites (which are very often simply wrong) that I fear I have become somewhat peeved at the topic.

If an alumna is famous, odds are the official website will list her. As I've said before, I'm more impressed by the unknown alumnae who give to their families, schools and communities on a day to day basis than any alumna who just happens to be well-known.
