It has been, along with the Campbell Soup rumor (fluer-de-lis on the label because of a Kappa wife ) and the Parker Pen rumor (arrow because of a Pi Phi wife).

I've always been fascinated by these rumors of symbols being used because they were important to a wife.

Heather Locklear: She pledged Chi Omega and is pictured in the Bruin yearbook in the Chi O group photo that year. Heather deactivated. A year later, she pledged Tri Delta. Never initiated and left school when her acting/modeling career started to take off.

Zeta rumor: I had always heard that the wife of the founder of Hallmark cards was a Zeta Tau Alpha, as the logo for the company is a 5-point crown (like ZTA's symbol). But haven't seen any evidence to this. Can any ZTA's verify?

Now, I do know that a beer was created for a Chi Omega. The former CMO of Iron City Beer (located in Pittsburgh) created Iron City Light for his wife, a Chi Omega alumna. (I'm friends with the daughter and verified the story at her wedding.) Now that's love!

So IowaHawkeye and Jenny McCarthy went to the same high school?

This explains a lot.

After reading this thread, seems Ms. Welsh is claimed by several houses.

Up until reading this post, I had never heard an urban legend about anyone famous being a KD. I was starting to get a complex.
