No one can replace a Delt!  From what I remember about the hunky, WILD Delts at Southern Cal, they were irreplaceable!! Not even sure they are there anymore -- they were so wild!!!

Glad to hear that -- when I heard the Delts lost their charter way back when, I just could not imagine the Row without them! I wonder if they are back in their same house? Glad they are doing well!! Yay! DTD!!
By the way, someone, anyone PLEASE answer my ignored question about Chelsea Clinton -- was she in a sorority in college? I want details!!

I have heard that Chelsea Clinton wasn't in a sorority in college, but I have no serious sources to back that up. It seems that since such a big deal was made over the Bush twins' sorority affiliation, we'd surely have heard about it by now if Chelsea was in one. Also, since Chelsea's mom wasn't a sorority woman herself, it's probably less likely that Chelsea would go Greek.

So what chapter did the Bush twins affiliate with?? Now I'm really curious. If nobody has the former first daughter, I want to know who has the current ones??

Linda Robb (President Johnson's daughter) was a Zeta at University of Texas.
Jenna Bush -- or is it Barbara -- the blonde twin who also goes to UT is a Theta.

I thought I saw somewhere that Barbara pledged Theta at Yale also. Jenna is a Theta at UT.

I got curious and went to the Yale site. Kappa is the only one listed or registered, but Theta does have a chapter there. I went to the Theta national site, and Yale was listed. On the Kappa site, they mentioned rush and Panhellenic, so I assumed there was at least one other group. I'm not sure who else is there, but at least those two are.

I heard the same thing, and saw a picture of Jenna with a Theta pin. With both Laura & her mother being Thetas, I would imagine that Barbara would have been initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta, chapter or no chapter.
