Theta and Disney's daughter

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.

I've heard this many times but havent heard it confirmed. I have also heard that Holly Hunter and Edie Brickell were Thetas.

I heard when I pledged that there were pansies on the original Budweiser label because the Budweiser daughters were Thetas. While there seem to be pansies on the label, I'm unsure of the Theta connection.
