I may be wrong, but isn't the CEO of Miller also a Theta Chi?
I heard that from somebody a few years back.

You're right! I made the addition. I had also forgotten one of the most famous Theta Chis, Steven Spielberg.

I don't know where and when BUT I know for a fact that "World Famous" DJ Skribble is a Theta Chi also.

I have run into him a couple of times and he was more than proud to show me his tattoos and give me the grip...

Currently, DJ Skribble (a.k.a. Scott Ialacci) cannot be verified in the Theta Chi alumni database.

a few guys from my chapter saw him at a show and approached him, being stopped by his entourage,

we have a question about that tattoo, it looks like our fraternity symbol..

Theta Chi?

Yeah!

No, sorry, you're like 10 th guy today to ask that.



So, I don't think he is a brother.


Rob Courdry from the Daily show is a brother.

Now that Iread Jesters post and my own, I'm thinking....would the entourage lie? Or would he get tired of college kids coming up to him?


My name (if I get famous for doing this) probbly won't be able to be verified either, because the name i will DBA is not the name on the charter or the book

I was able to have a casual conversation because i'm good friends with the General Manager and head promoter of the club he was performing at. I was able to shoot the shi* with him for a good 45 minutes. Yes, he does have a Theta Chi tattoo.

I see Donovan McNabb and Amare Stoudamire all the time and their entourage won't let anyone within 10 feet of them....

i was there with the brothers who approached skribble. the body guard joked that skribble never went to college, although if someone else can prove me wrong i'd be fine with that.

If you look at Epsilon Sigma chapter's website...they list him on there towards the bottom of the page on the following link.

Scroll down and you'll see Skribbles pic (http://www.geocities.com/theta_chi_epsilon_sigma/brothers.html)

Also, this is from Greek101.com Here is the link to their "lounge" area. There is a box entitled "Famous Greeks". Click on the 'more' at the bottom of that box listing various famous people and it will go to another page. On this second page...there's a drop down box where you can choose what fraternity/sorority yoiu want to look at. Go to Theta Chi and it will also list him there.

You'll see that Mike "The Miz" and Brad (both from MTV's Real World) are Theta Chi's also...

Brad Fiorenza from Real World San Diego is not a Theta Chi. He's a member of Alpha Tau Omega. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Fiorenza

Greek101.com is full of erroneous information.

Scott "Raven" Levy is a brother from Delaware, I believe.

Yay for crack addicts.
