The Blind Side
Can't wait to see this movie. It's about 2 Kappa Delta's, so that makes it extra exciting!
For those of you who haven't heard about it: Sandra Bullock will star in the movie, a true story about Leigh Anne Tuohy (KD from Alpha Mu chapter – Mississippi) and her family. The Tuohy family believed in Michael Oher, a homeless teenager, and played a tremendous role in bringing him out of his shell and into a life where he could succeed in all areas. Michael played football for Ole Miss and in 2009 was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round. Another KD played an integral role in Michael’s academic accomplishments, Sue Mitchell (Alpha Mu – Mississippi), played by Kathy Bates.
Check out the movie trailer The Blind Side.

I can't wait to see this movie! I would have seen it anyway because I love Sandra Bullock but a true story with KDs involved makes it a MUST SEE for me.

The book is a great read with a lot of insight into Michael's situation. You also get Leigh Anne Tuohy's strength full throttle.
Slight correction: The book doesn't mention "Miss Sue" as being a KD. It does mention that Leigh Anne Tuohy and her daughter, Collins, are both Ole Miss Kappa Deltas. I think Miss Sue didn't even go to Ole Miss; just a big Ole Miss fan.
Sean Tuohy, Leigh Anne's husband, was a Kappa Sigma and star basketball player at Ole Miss.
In the trailer, Leigh Anne's comment about Nick Saban being a good looking man was actually a comment by Miss Sue.

I'm excited about the movie too. Since I work for Ole Miss Athletics we all have been waiting for the big day. I believe some of my coworkers are going to one of the premieres. I know a few of my coworkers were interviewed by the actors about some things in the movie.
Side Note: Sandra Bullock bought my great aunt's former home in the Garden District in NOLA recently. Fun times!

Another slight correction: Miss Sue is a KD.

I also just looked her up in the latest Alumnae Directory. Yep.

Yeah, I got an email to alumnae chapter presidents in my district with the description I started off the thread with (didn't write it myself). So I was assuming the national officer who sent it was giving legit info.
Glad to see the story shared more in depth though. Very cool.

I want to see this movie. The previews look amazing, plus gotta love the greek element 
I'll just go to AMC on Saturday or Sunday morning (before 11) and the movies are like 5 bucks.

My husband and I were both looking forward to the movie. Human interest for me, sports for him- it's a win-win! But knowing that some of the main players are also Greek/KD makes me more interested in seeing it. Thanks KDAngel!

A friend got to preview it early and she said it is awesome. Some of my coworkers are going to the premiere next week in New Orleans.

I saw a Behind the Scenes kind of preview a few days ago, and I def wanna see this now. My boyfriend likes football, but I'm not sure if the movie is a little too touchy feely for him. I'll make him go anyway since he's dragged me to movies I didn't wanna see.

Just saw it and loved it! Definitely a great story.
There's a picture of a poster saying "KD loves #74" in the credits too -- so fun!
