I saw Puck with a FIJI shirt on in the RW/RR Battle of the Sexes. I don't think he is a member, but he had the shirt on.

Jean Smart from Designing Women IS an ADPi. There are even a couple of episodes that she mentions ADPi. That's always exciting.
I also remember that the DZ chapter at my university used to have Courtney Cox listed as a famous alum... They've changed their website and don't have any listed anymore, but does anyone know for sure if she is a Delta Zeta or not?

I have heard that Julia Roberts is an honorary Phi Mu because of the movie "Steel Magnolias." Does anybody know if this is true... or is it just another greek urban legend?

OK, I know that everyone knows that Susan Harling (the woman who Shelby in Steel Magnolias is based on) is a Phi Mu. But wasn't there a rumor going around that the composite you see in one scene was a Chi O composite? I just watched SM again the other day and unless someone had a theater size screen and was able to freeze it I don't know how they could tell.

I met the Chi Omega whose family home in Natchitoches, LA was used in the movie. I met her quite a few years ago -- I think she went to Vanderbilt, but maybe the composite was from L.S.U.?

Wonder why she didn't make them Phi Mus? If you are going to use the name of a real NPC group -- why not make it your own?

I remember catching that the last time I watched it, years ago. I think I posted about it at the time.

It's pretty easy to catch the differcence between them; when spelled out, 3 letters 5 letters versus 3 letter 2 letters.

Nah, it's a Phi Mu Composite. My mama has the Making of SM book, and I'm pretty sure you can see it in a picture.
There is also a picture of Julia Roberts with my old Surgery Dept Head, Dr. McDonald. He was Susan Harling's transplant surgeon, so they invited him down while they were shooting the movie to meet everyone. I knew a lot of people in S'port who knew her. Apparently her husband was a pediatrician, not a lawyer IRL, and married the mother of one of his patient's three months after her death. Yeah, Jackson wasn't as nice as in the movie.

Heather McDonald of Chelsea Lately fame is a Gamma Phi Beta from USC

Jackson doesn't come off as the husband of the year in the movie, either. Think of the scene when Shelby tells her mother that she's pregnant.


As for Betty Crocker, she is NOT a real person! Several women have either posed for her picture, several women have edited the cookbook. An ADPi was one, I think the first, but I'm not going to swear to it.


Another call for a Pi Beta Phi!!!!

For example, I've heard like a gajillion times that Cindy Crawford was a Pi Phi at a school in the midwest but dropped out of school before she initiated. I'm not buying it!

Interestingly, if you do a search for Cindy Crawford on our website you come up with an Ontario Beta that works for the Royal Bank of Canada!

So I just got my Greek Life Introduction mailer, and at the bottom of every page they have "famous greeks", male and female. So I'm flipping though and there waws Cindy Crawford. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. If only the writers had read this thread.

Unfortunately, she's not! From what I've read, she went to Mount Vernon College for 1 year. As far as I know, we've never had a DZ chapter there, but I could be wrong!
