Celebs who were in sororities
Buzzfeed article. (Love the tag line !).
http://www.buzzfeed.com/emilyhennen/...sorority-girls
The author got 1 wrong - Heather Locklear. And, the list could have been MUCH longer!

Also I'm pretty sure this entire article was a contest by the editors to see who could pick the ugliest possible pictures of all these actresses.

They also picked the wrong Vanessa Williams.
Google is your friend, buzzfeed.
eta: I wish that this was titled celebs who are sorority alumnae (or something). I don't take offense to the phrase 'sorority girl', but it's a bit ridiculous to apply that to fairly distinguished women.

It looks like Michelle Pfeiffer is plausible
http://www.alphadeltapi.org/muohio/default.asp?id=1018 although this is a chapter website. So it still may not be accurate.

My understanding, correct or not, is that Michelle Pfeiffer had pledged Alpha Delta Pi, but quit to pursue her acting career.
I'm a little surprised at the number of actress not included. My personal favorite is Alpha Delta Pi Jean Smart, who share my birthday, if not birth year.

Pfeiffer's only college education was at Golden West Community College.

Bette Midler is wrong too. She's not a DPhiE. We've never had a chapter in Hawaii. AGD is the only NPC in Hawaii.

These lists are annoying.
And those women ARE in sororities.
I also don't like "girls".
Lent is coming, must use up as much annoyance as possible.

BG -- you misunderstood 33's post. She is saying that Michelle not an actress Pfeiffer is an ADPi, and that Michelle not an actress but is an ADPi Pfeiffer was not in the movies because .... She is not an actress. If you read the thread, there often is a lot of mistaken identity with common names. I'll bet Katy Perry is in a sorority too.

All of this makes me glad I've blocked buzzfeed on my facebook. It's just too full of stupid.

I have her books...there are 3 at last count. They're all focused on teenage girls, and engaging them in math.

What's so dumb with that (the buzzfeed list) is that anyone with half a brain and actually takes their time to do research, can go to the pages of each NPC sorority and see a list of their notable members. This is something that all sororities are proud of! Let's face it we all like to brag about our famous members. Yes, some are still super involved with the sorority, but most aren't, but still we have bragging rights and we shall use them!
Maybe someone should take the time and do a compilation and we should sticky it here on Greekchat and say "look here for the complete list of NPC notable members". Heck maybe I will since I'll be stuck at home tomorrow due to snow and ice.
