I've said it before - while it is kinda neat to have famous sisters, I am far more impressed by the unsung heroes of our GLOs, those who make a difference day in, day out in the lives of their colleges, their friends, their families, their communities. I've no doubt Theta Phi Alpha can claim MANY of these wonderful women. We may not know their names, but they are the heart and soul of the NPC - all of the member glos.

Though they couldn't name the guy, they were sure it was in honor of his wife. Since this just seems very strange, I doubt it can be true.

The things people come up with is bizzare sometimes...

LOL we have Key Food here (NY/LI/Westchester/Duchess/NJ), hilarious. The ones here dont scream of anything related to the class that is sorority life.

Actually, there was a chapter of Theta Phi Alpha at Catholic while Susan Sarandon was a student there. She is not a member, however.

Although I totally agree with SWTXBelle's take on famous alums, check out the post I just made in the Theta Phi forum. It contains an updated list of notable alumnae.

Last year during my run as an LC for Tri Sigma, one of my fellow consultants told me that she had to burst an alumna's bubble and tell her that Olivia Newton-John was not a Tri Sigma. And the alumna was just not having it and didn't believe her!

We all got a kick out of it, especially because Olivia is Australian - and did not attend college here in the US where we have chapters. Even better, the alumna brought up an alumnae initiation in her defense. In all of our dreams, I guess.

I've heard alot of famous alumna rumors, but this is one I have never heard! Hilarious.

I had someone once attempt to argue me down over Betty Crocker though.

I love how a fictional woman has been claimed as a member of like 10 sororities.
