Barbara Billingsley??? Well, I have NEVER heard that one! You're saying it's just a rumor, right?
(My "Research Dept." just found this: Birth Name: Barbara Lillian Combes -- Attended Los Angeles Junior college for one year and then went to New York when the review she was appearing in, "Straw Hat", made it to Broadway. The show closed after five days.)

Please forgive me for crashing your thread, but we always got a kick out of Joanne Woodward (ChiO) being married to Paul Newman, while Lola Redford (ADPi) being married to Robert Redford (well, his first marriage, anyhow!).
Also, there was a Melissa Galbraith who was a ChiO at Pitt, and she was a Miss Teenage America, but I have no idea which year.

What a sweet welcome! The least I could do is provide y'all with a photo of Melissa Galbraith (she won Miss Teenage America in 1973, and she's with the 1974 winner, Paula Harper):
I think Melissa is on the right.

I guess that WAS "pageant hair" in the mid 1970s, huh?!
Honey, I have located Melissa Galbraith on our roll & I shall add her to our "Famous Chi Os" list elsewhere in this Forum. Thanks again!

That is the coolest thing ever! I bet that was one gorgeous "family."

Well here I am responding almost 5 years later to NutBrnHair's amusing post about famous Chi Omegas who weren't XOs...very sorry for the delay!
Re: Heather Locklear...she is often confused with Heather Thomas (probably best known for her role as "Jody" on the '80s T.V. series, "The Fall Guy," and for a "pin-up girl" type poster that came out about the same time as the show I believe). Both "Heathers" were at UCLA when I attended the university in the mid-late 70's and the reason Heather Locklear is frequently and incorrectly referred to as a Chi Omega alumna.
Heather Thomas was in my fall 1975 Chi Omega pledge class and she was definitely initiated (as we all were) during UCLA's winter quarter 1976. Heather Locklear began her studies at UCLA when Heather Thomas and I were upper classmen if I remember correctly. Heather Locklear was on the cover of the UCLA Bruin "Bearwear" catalogue her freshman year, I think, and then became a campus sensation (but XO Heather Thomas was quite the campus beauty as well!).
FYI: Heather Thomas was highlighted in a recent Eleusis for publishing her first novel, "Trophies." She was also interviewed on "The Today Show," etc., about the book.
