You don't know how long I have wondered about that! Seeing that big ole owl in the HOOTERS sign- - - I always had to wonder if it was a Chi - O's husband that came up with the concept -- thanks for the info!

imsohappythatiama...

I think that Kirstie Alley is a Gamma Phi Beta.

[Miami1839]

Hootie, I'm not sure if that was the movie or not but they ARE great.

Shopgirl, I thought Kirstie Ally was a Delta Gamma.

[Lil_G]

Little confusion about what sorority kristie alley is in...KKG? Gamma Phi? Delta Gamma?

Kevin, the Kirstie Alley thing really made me wonder so I went to DG's website and checked it out and she wasn't listed. There are many other fine women on the list, so I encourage those interested to check out the site http://www.deltagamma.org/aboutus/note.htm because it's very interesting! My favorite has to be Julia Sweeney...better known as Pat from Saturday Night Live.

I basically have no life on Monday nights, so I'll keep checking!

I would have sworn that Kirstie Alley is a member of Gamma Phi Beta. However, I when I visited Gamma Phi's website of famous alumni, she was not listed (under entertainers). So, I'm really confused. But hey, let me tell you what you really want to know...WHO ARE SOME FAMOUS SIGMA KAPPAS??!!??
Come down...I'm getting there...

Kerri Jill Garbis: Broadway star

Judith Guest la Vercombe: wrote Ordinary People, which later became a movie.

Haze: Alternative rock band (lead singer)

Lauren Roman: Laura Kirk English on All My Children...I don't think she's on it anymore.

Margaret Chase Smith: 1st woman elected to the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.

Ashley Welkos (a.k.a Maitland Ward): Boy Meets World and The Bold and The Beautiful.

Mrs. Theodore Gisel, wife of Dr. Seuss

Susan Johne: US Senator of Kentucky

Lind Cross Dowdy: Owner and creator of Barney

O.K. that should be enough to get you through the day!!!

[shopgirl]

Alrighty then...I meant to say

CALM down!!! DA!!! Also, I used and extra "I" in there. Sorry for the mistakes. I hate when I do that!!!

Here I am again...once more, we see that Sandy has no life!

I went on www.greek101.com tonight and I found this list of of famous greeks. Of course, it'd be easy to just click on the link, but because I'm bored I figured it'd be fun to cut and paste. Oddly enough, Kirstie Alley was not mentioned!!!
