Agreed. Connie Chung went to Maryland, but was not Greek.

(The above posters are now debating Goldie Hawn!)

I know that AXO did not have exclusionary clauses at that time because my friend and sister's mom was an AXO in the mid-late 60's and they are Japanese-American.

I always heard that Connie Chung had been in Tri-delt- but it was never really confirmed.

Connie has become a much more involved Maryland alum in the last few years and I was introduced to her about a year ago- but didn't think to ask if she had been in a chapter or not.

Apparently, Connie Chung is really embarrassed to have gone to Maryland!

Interesting, since that should be so low on her list of things to be embarrassed about.

This is no longer true. There is a clip of here from the David Letterman show where he asked here where she went to school and she sort of mock-whispered Maryland. I am sure that this is where people got this idea and while I have never heard her explain it, she seems to have come around.

Since then I believe that she was approached by the University and has since become an involved and pround alum. She attends events both here in NYC and goes to College Park for major events as well, I think she was inducted into our Alumni Hall of Fame and I know she goes to the major gala every year, I believe she was emcee of it a few years back.

As I said in my previous post I had the pleasure of meeting her at a Maryland Alumni event last year, she was a panel moderator for a large event here in NYC and was great. She looks FANTASTIC in person for a woman of her age.

I believe that the co-chair title is the result of 500K donation. I know that she and Maury have also established a chair in the college of journalism in honor of his father. They have done an amazing job of giving back.

Connie and Maury are friends with my grandmother, so I could find out for sure and let you know!

As far as I know Connie Chung is not a Tri-Delta.

Well, there have been 23 posts so apparently someone cares. Just because you don't care doesn't mean it isn't a topic worthy of discussion.

There are plenty of other threads to read, so why don't you just move along?

I do believe you were the one coming in and making a completely unnecessary comment, not Leslie Anne. She had already commented about how she went to Maryland etc. etc. -if I'm not mistaken that counts for at least more than your "contribution." If you don't care then just stay quiet and don't bother commenting. It's comments like yours that start nasty, off-topic, pointless rants.

If you don't care for the shit I say, just put me on ignore.

Same goes for the rest of you.

Again, if I think a thread is lame, I'll say so. Always have. Lotsa people comment on how certain threads are lame.

You could have taken your own advice and stay quiet after my post, you know.

Nasty, off-topic, pointless rants are what makes GC un-boring.

Kudos to you and Leslie Anne for contributing to the nasty, off-topic, pointless rants.

WOOHOO! EVERYBODY CONNIE CHUNG TONIGHT!

Hey, I was just sticking up for an (almost) sister -what's your excuse?
