I'm awfully dissapointed. Noone has mentioned Kappa Sigma yet...
These are the some of the 200,000+ great men that have worn the Star & Crescent:
Bob Dole - Kansas (undergrad) and Washburn (yea!)(law school) - Famous Politician
Jimmy Buffet - Southern Mississippi - Musician
Robert Redford - Colorado - Actor, Director
Sam Donaldson - Texas/El Paso - News Correspondent
Mort Walker - Mizzou - Created Beetle Bailey
Ted Turner - Brown - AOL/Time Warner, Owns Atlanta Braves
Dennis Haskins - Tennessee/Chatanooga - Actor on Saved by the Bell
Edward R. Murrow - Washington State - Journalist (ended McCarthyism)
Jerry Jones - Arkansas (Fabulous Xi) - Owner of Dallas Cowboys
William Hewlett - Stanford - Hewlett Packard Co.
Jack Smith Jr - Mass. - CEO of General Motors
Allen Jacobsom - Iowa State - CEO of 3M
Ben Gilmor - Auborn - CEO of AT&T
Hal Daub - G Washington - Former Nebraska Politician
Edwin Hubble - Chicago - Hubble Telescope
"The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it"

So, I tried to sort through all of these posts, but I gave up, so hopefully I'm not repeating...
... Our sorority has done a lot of research on Sigma Chi famous alums for Derby Days before (well, not a lot, but anyway...), so here are the ones I can remember:
David Letterman
Carson Daly
Burt Reynolds

I heard Dave Matthews pledged Kappa Sig at UVA, but I have no idea if it is true.

Dave Matthews is from Virginia, and I think he may be from Charlottesville. Can't speak to the Kappa Sig part, though.

Dave Matthews definately went to UVA, but I don't know about the Kappa Sig part. I'll ask around.

I have to agree.. I've never heard of any famous ASA alum... the only one I heard was Pamela Anderson Lee but I was then informed later that she never went to college so she couldn't have been an ASA... but it kinda makes me sad that we don't have anyone famous to claim...

Dave dropped out of High School at 16. He PLAYED fraternity parties at UVA in the early 90s, which is probably how that rumor started. But he did not go to college.

In reference to other comments:
1. I heard Dave Matthews was born in South Africa (thought the part about Virginia and fraternity parties is true).
2. I heard that Pamela Anderson started college to become a nurse, but never finished (obviously).
Just random things I hae heard.....correct me if I am wrong!

Dave Matthews did grow up in South Africa before moving to VA. Maybe he just played Kappa Sig parties at UVA.
