*sigh* EVERY GLO claims Betty Crocker! There was the Betty Crocker who was the model for Cookbooks #1,2,3,4 etc, the Betty Crocker who was the home economist, etc, etc, etc.
Jackie Kennedy went to a college without GLOs; Princess Grace didn't attend college (if she did, it was for a very brief time).
Reese Witherspoon is a Gamma Phi Beta.
Sarah Jessica Parker is most probably a Sigma Kappa.
Theta Phi Alpha can authentically claim The 700 Club's former Miss America, Terry Meeuwsen.

This is an urban legend...Reese is not a Gamma Phi Beta. But, I still like her!

As much I would love to be her sister, Reese is NOT a Gamma Phi Beta!

Add Terry Meeuwsen to the list for Theta Phi Alpha, as she is also not a member. She was actually a member of Theta Phi, a local sorority.

Really? Somewhere, in the boxes of my life (scattered between two cities and storage units), is an ancient monthly magazine similar to a mini-Bairds. She had just been crowned Miss America, and she was on the cover. Every state represented by a sorority was also mentioned. It was in the ADPi suite when I rushed, and opened to the ADPis, of course.
Does anybody else remember that magazine? I can remember that there were pillars on the left hand side. IT WAS something BANTA!!

She's not in our member lookup. The organization she was initiated into, Theta Phi, was Theta Phi Alpha's Alpha Delta chapter up until 1971 when they broke off to form their own local. That means she would've juuuust missed it! We are currently recolonizing our Alpha Delta chapter, however.

Mostly through word-of-mouth from some overly enthusiastic collegians lol.There have been others,but those were the most common. It's only a matter of time before Lilly Pulitzer and Kate Middleton are added. Basically anyone TSM-esque "must"be a Theta Phi Alpha.

When I was an undergraduate a had a very close friend who was a Theta Phi Alpha. She told me that while Mrs Kennedy and HSH Princess Grace were not undergrad initiates they were honoraries like JFK was an honorary Phi Kappa Theta. Might that be the origin of this urban legend?

We don't do honorary initiates. The closest thing we have would be our Siena Medalists, but they do not go through any kind of initiation ceremony.
