Actually, there was a chapter of Theta Phi Alpha at Catholic while Susan Sarandon was a student there. She is not a member, however.

Although I totally agree with SWTXBelle's take on famous alums, check out the post I just made in the Theta Phi forum. It contains an updated list of notable alumnae.

Sure you do! You have the co-host of the 700 Club & former Miss America - Terry Meeuwsen. I'm sure that there are more, but she immediately comes to mind.

So I heard Macaulay Culkin was a SigEp. What the heck? Did he even go to college?

IMO, that is someone trying to make a rude comment against SigEp, considering the whole MJ thing plus Party Monster. (Not that Party Monster isn't an awesome movie but I don't think most people would want the dude in their fraternity.)

Bumping, because the Summer edition of the KAO magazine was just released and they debunk several myths that just won't die.

1. While Walt Disney's daughters were Thetas, he did not write Let's Go Fly a Kite for them.

2. The Kit-Kat bar was not named for Theta.

3. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the radio voice of the character Betty Crocker was a Theta, but any visual representation of the character was not a Theta.

4. Sandra Day O'Conner is not a Theta.

This same article made me think of how we were always told (by upperclass women) that the founder or inventor of Budweiser (or Anheuser-Busch or someone...) had daughters who were Theta's because so many of our symbols can be found on the label of Bud Light.

Re: Susan Lucci and Pi Phi, I'm pretty sure her daughter, Liza Huber (Passions), was a Pi Phi at UNC Chapel Hill.

Her daughter is a Chi Omega from UNC Chapel Hill

Walt Disney didn't even write the song - the Sherman brothers did!

I heard somewhere that a contestant on "Rock of Love" was an Alpha Xi. Ick. I searched but couldn't find anything confirming...so I'm hoping that means that's not true.

I've also heard that there are pansies all over Disney world because of the Theta connection

I've never heard that one!

There are probably pansies all over Disney World because they are easy to grow and ubiquitous in the South.

Pshh, but that's not FUN.

Of course, not! We always said the rose in Beauty and the Beast had no thorns was because the artist was an AOII. Completely unsupported by evidence. It made a good story, though!
