Reality TV "Greeks who shouldn't be considered"

[als463]

After discussing famous Greeks on Reality Tv in another forum, OTW made a very good point. She was upset that I was considering some Reality Tv people "Famous Greeks" when there are many other important people out there who do great things for their GLO. I didn't realize what a sensitive subject it was until I was told that not only do Reality Tv personalities tend to be seen as "Famous Greeks" when they really didn't contribute much to helping their GLO look good or at least in a positive light and that some people are considered "Famous Greeks" in certain GLOs that they may have not been members of.

For instance, I mentioned some people who had disaffiliated or were not in good standing with their GLO before appearing on television (only because that's what I found on-line) and realized that many people who do a lot for their Org. get offended by hearing this.

I wanted to know:
Do you have anyone in your GLO that is seen as a "Famous Greek" because they appeared on Reality Tv and either they DA, were in bad standing or clearly didn't make your GLO look very good on Tv?

Maybe you have had some people say that someone (famous) is a member of YOUR GLO or another GLO that maybe never went to college or never went Greek?

Maybe you have someone who you consider to be a "Famous Greek" that doesn't get that much attention for their membership in your GLO and you recognize their committment. A good example is one of my friends who disaffiliated from Gamma Phi (financial reasons) once told me that Sandra Bullock is a member of Gamma Phi Beta. If that's true-I think that's really interesting because she is not only a great actress but, she continuously gives great deals of money to charities like when she donated $1 million dollars toward Hurricane Katrina victims. Maybe some Gamma Phis can clear this up for me-Is she?

Either way, please share because I think there are probably people that were members of your GLO at one time who you may be sick and tired of hearing they are "Famous Greeks" when they truly are not.
