Becky Smith- Miss Nebraska 1999

I found out about her when I was surfing the web and checking out different Chi Omega websites.... I thought that the similarities were so funny!!

Look at her picture, for instance...

[KarenC725]

I know that I will regret this, but what does the previous post have to do with anything? The last name Smith is fairly common, so is the first name Becky or REbecca. Are we to assume that this is what you "Becky Smith" look like? I started this to get off your "incident" and would appreciate it if at least one forum on this board did not boil down to your case. Now, before you get preachy on me, I am not a Chi Omega nor do I live in Texas. Quite frankly, I wish all this crap would go away until the trial is over and everything is a matter of public record.

[Q-T Pie]

Does anyone know if any of the famous gals above (or even any others) are southern? I'm a bit partial of course, but just curious

[Trish]

Joanne Woodward - film actress/wife of Paul Newman is southern. She went to LSU (Phi Gamma).

[Chiosweetie2]

I thought that I had seen somewhere that Heather Locklear was a member. Is she, or is it just a rumor? The other post says that she isn't or maybe was a pledge. Does anyone know for sure?

Jordan, your chapter has a nice webpage

I always wondered if those ladies were XOs.
