I have heard that Ellen from Road Rules (The Quest) is an ADPi. But I am not sure if it is true or not. If anyone knows...

Thanks

I heard that Benjamin Bratt was a Lambda Chi and Michael Douglas was a Sigma Pi at UCSB.

Ellen was a member of Alpha Delta Pi at the University of Iowa.

If anyone's interested...

Can anyone confirm that Let's Go Fly a Kite from Mary Poppins was REALLY written for Disney's daughter (a purported Theta)? I ask bec I did a little research on this. Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame) wrote the tune in 1964 for the movie, when Walt's daughter Diane would have been 30 years oldand adopted daughter Sharon would have been 27. There is no mention of either as an alumna on the Theta national site. And I'm wondering if it isn't just a coincidence or simply urban legend. Just curious.

Hey, sorry JerzeeBoy26, I just started reading this post and I saw your inquiry about Tiger Woods. Yeah, he did pledge Sigma Chi at Stanford, but I think that he left before initiation. However, Corey Savage ("Boy Meets World") did initiate, and I think is either a senior or just graduated. Fred Savage is a SAE from Stanford.

Another urban legend...Chelsea Clinton DID NOT join a sorority while she was at Stanford...

OOPS... I meant Ben Savage, who played Corey on "Boy Meets World" (I never watched that show, but I did like the woman who played his girlfriend, Topanga!!!)

Bump.

The Farrah/Tri Delta thread made me think of this one. That debate still doesn't seem to be settled!

Please note that this is a thread for myths/urban legends. Please do not come here to post about people who are actually members (unless you are dispelling a rumor).

For instance: I have seen several Theta chapter websites claim that Betty Crocker is a member. Betty Crocker was a fictional character who happened to be voiced by Theta alumna Marjorie Child Husted as listed on our website. It would be like claiming Bugs Bunny was part of your organization simply because Mel Blanc was a member.

Since this hasn't been bumped in several years I suspect that there are many more to be added.

(I know that several GLOs have a thread dedicated to this in their specific forum. I liked how this one lumped everyone together. A one-stop-shop you might say.)

Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow are not Gamma Phis.

I was told that Pam Anderson was an Alpha Sig

There are actually two Pamela Andersons who are ASAs (I looked on SisterCircle). However, as they pledged in the early 1970s and the famous Pam was born in 1967, that pretty much negates that. I think this is the source of 90% of these mixups - a noncelebrity w/ the same name as a celebrity.

Tim graduated from NLU a few years before I got there, and I doubt that he reminisces about good ole ULM since most alums will always call it NLU! If you watch his "Down on the Farm" video, you'll see the Pike fire engine with a bunch of the Pikes from NLU in the early 90's riding down a country road. He shot that video in his hometown...I think Start, LA. Anyway, he paid for the large deck on the back of the double wide trailer that Pike liked to call a house back then. I think they bought the KA or Kappa Sig house later.

As for fake AOII famous alums, I was told by so many people that Phyllis Diller and the lady that played Marcy on "Married with Children" were AOIIs. I think neither were...though I've never tried feeding Marcy's name into our database.

Addendum: I looked on IMdb and saw that Amanda Bearse, aka Marcy D'Arcy, went to a small liberal arts college, Young Harris College, which has no NPC groups. The rumor was that she joined AOII at Pi Chapter at Tulane. Another myth disproved!

Wait.

Betty Crocker is NOT a real person?

My world has been shattered.

SigEp will now claim the Cat in the Hat and every other Dr. Seuss character b/c he was a SigEp. :P

Welcome to the family, Sam I Am.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Britney Spears is NOT in a sorority.

I don't care how much you love her.

I don't care whose cousin's sister's neighbor said that she went through recruitment at Ole Miss/LSU/Bama and pledged Kappa/Theta/Chi O/Tri Delta.

They're lying, because Britney never even went to college.

Britney is also not an "honorary" Chi O/Kappa/Theta.

If another person tries to tell me that she is, I will scream.
