My favorite would have to be Kimberly Williams Paisley (from Father of the Bride fame...and also married to Brad Paisley).
My mom likes the fact that Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine from Star Trek) is an Alpha Phi!
And of course from my high school days---Maile Misajon! I loved her in Eden's Crush

Anyway, for me, it's Sam Walton. You all know him...

Blackballed out during pledgeship, then went on to his acting career. I still claim him because I'm a huge fan

Since most are choosing show biz folks, how about these Delts...
Matthew McConaughey
And, of course, the new host of The Price Is Right
And from the world of sports...
Finally, this Stanford Delt, not only because of his football fame, but his community efforts and foundations in both Tampa and here in Denver:
John Lynch

Are you for real? I didn't know that! No wonder MGM is my favorite casino!
I can't remember her name, but she was in Sister Act 1 &2 and played Aunt March in Little Women. I can't remember her name and can't find anything on our "new and easy to use" website. I can't even find the list of famous alums. Yay. But she's my favorite.

haha, yeah...last year during recruitment a couple of us were complaining to our advisor that we really don't have anyone super notable (besides what's her name from the bachelorette) as an alumna, so she did some digging for us -- turns out we may not have a lot of famous alumnae, but our alumnae have married a LOT of famous guys -- so I guess we're good marrying material, or something  Micheal Phelps' mom was a Phi Mu, too!

Favorite DZ Alum
My favorite DZ alum was a woman by the name of Vee Toner. She was a member of my chapter at Pitt and graduated in 1927. She was famous in the athletic world as a Swimming and Diving official at the Olympics and the Pan Am games back in the 1950's and 60's and as one of the first female judges at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
She is listed on the DZ website as one of our famous alumnae, however she is special to me because I got to meet her and spend time with her when I was a collegiate. Ms. Toner would show up at our sorority suite on home football Saturdays outfitted from head to toe in Pitt blue & gold regalia. It also remember her carrying a handbag made out of an NCAA football! She was a very vivacious, funny, and entertaining woman and we enjoyed having her in our company, even though she was probably nearly 70 at the time. She died in 1995 and has gifted much of her estate to the Pitt athletic and band departments. She was a very dear character to remember.

Kappa Delta
Claudie Kennedy: US Army's first female three star general. Very interesting woman, from an amazing KD Chapter (Alpha Delta at Rhodes College) and excellent leader.
Kim Ryan: VP of Collegians. I worked for her at the headquarters. She is so down-to-earth, friendly, and focused.
Patricia Polito Miller: One of the Vera Bradley founders. I wish I would have come up with it! Besides the fact her patterns are beautiful, Miller is an admirable businesswoman and founded the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation.
