Thanks BrownEyedGirl! I found myself wondering when watching Access Hollywood the other night.

BearyCuteAPhi-- to best of my knowledge, Julia Roberts is not Greek. I don't think she went to college at all.

Cool should be studying for finals but ah well!

Hey everyone! Here is a list of all the famous Greeks in sororities that I could muster up.

Famous Sigma Kappas: Margaret Andrew was the first women to graduate from Ohio State University
Fay Burnett: first nutritionist for Weight Watchers
Linda Cress Dowdy: creator and owner of Barney the dinosaur (that's why he's purple!)
Anna Harper: Wimbeldon tennis champ in 1931
Susan Johns: Kentucky state senator 1994
Judith Guest La Vercombe: author of Ordinary People
Lauren Roman: actress
Rhea Seddon: mission specialist for NASA
Margaret Chase Smith: first women senator, first women to sit in both houses of Congress
Ashley Welkos: aka Matiland Ward, actress
Janelle Cutshaw Nevins: president of Nevins Marketing Group
Cory Thompson-Cunningham: Miss Tennessee 1999
and I hear Dr Seus's wife was a Sigma Kappa but I don't know if that's exact truth
and the author of the movie "Mystic Pizza" was a SK

Dixie Carter was a tri-delt at UT! Mrs. Brady was a DZ, Ashley Judd is a Kappa Kappa Gamma so is Candace Bergen (Murphy Brown).The Rapping Granny on the Wedding Singer is a KD, and Robert E. Lee is a honorary member of Phi Mu, which is really neat! Meredith Monroe (Andie on Dawson's) is an Alpha Chi Omega, and the co-founder of the Muppets is an AZD. That is all the little neat ones I could find. Hope that helps add to some people's list!

-of course my favorite is that James Dean was a Sigma Nu, ahhhh he was such a stud!

Julia Roberts is an honorary Phi Mu due to her performance in " Steel Magnolias" she played Susan Hardin Robinson who was a Phi Mu, but I dont know if Phi Mu considers honoraries as "members"

Some one wrote that Neil Armstrong's wife was a TriDelt. I've always heard that she was an Alpha Chi Omega and that the Lyre badge of AXO is on the flag that is on the moon. Does someone know for sure?? Though I'm pretty sure that she was an Alpha Chi.

Neil Armstrong's wife

Neil Armstrong's wife is definitely a tri-delt and our pin is on the flag on the moon. We have a picture of the flag with our pin on it in our house.

Actually, Jim Henson's wife and Muppet co-creator, Jane is an Alpha Xi Delta. Fozzie bear was created based on A Xi D's mascot, the Teddy Bear and the nickname fuzzies!!

I think that Fred Savage of "The Wonder Years" and movie fame, is an SAE. Any SAE'rs know for sure? Also, Tiger Woods is supposedly a Sigma Chi when he was at Stanford, but I don't know if he stayed around long enough to get initiated

amycat,
Here is the deal with Heather Locklear or how I heard it because she was supposedly a member at my chapter. Supposedly, she pledged TriDelt first but depledged for undisclosed reasons (word on the street is that she did some risque things with a few too many fraternity men) and later pledged Chi Omega but was never initiated at either. Neither TriDelt or Chi O claim her as member.
Now this is just what I heard from word of mouth at my house; I want to try and find some of our old composites or bid day pictures and see if she is in them. If anyone knows how old she is that would help and I can update you all!

Thumbs up

I didn't want to start a whole new thread so I thought I'd stick this here...Last night I was watching re-runs of "Whose Line" and after they did a skit where one of the guys was a fraternity brother, Drew Carey gave a shout out to DTD.

Well....Carly Simon hasn't responded to my email yet!

Gloria Loring was on Sally Jesse Raphael the other day. There wasn't a call-in moment, so I could say "HI, SIS!

one more Kappa!

I was watching "The Other Half" yesterday, and they had Kate Jackson as a guest. She has appeared in more television series than any other woman. She was Sabrina on the original "Charlie's Angels," which she essentially invented! She was talking with Aaron Spelling and making up a series as she went along. The "angels" part was inspired by a painting over his desk, and the whole bit about them never seeing Charlie...she saw a speakerphone on his desk and said "And they only hear him...um...over speakerphone."

I was so sad. I should have skipped work to be in their audience so I could meet a famous sister.
