Oh and yes, Elle in Legally Blond is a Delta Gamma as the book was written by a DG.

But in the movie, she is a Delta *Nu* to avoid issues.

A Different World used to show Hillman students wearing NPHC gear.

Which also happens to a DG chapter name

Unless it is the one where the sister who wrote the book attended, I'm not sure that it means anything. I would expect that most if not all NPC sororities that use the common (alpha -> omega, alpha alpha ...) ordering would have a Delta Nu chapter. Picking another NPC sorority, sort of at random, Phi Sigma Sigma's Delta Nu chapter is at Iona College.

From the show production side, apparently they got approval from I/HQ (not sure if AKA uses that term) to use their likeness, but the blowback is from some membership.

I'm curious if that's accurate, but that's AKA business and I'm sure they'll handle things if proper protocol wasn't followed.

The extras wearing the NPHC gear were respective members of the orgs.

As a DG, I can say we all found that interesing. However, we can see where others didn't. I was speaking from a DG perspective.

Appreciated. Delta Nu chapter of Delta Gamma is at Northern Illinois University, I believe.

When that skit aired, Tri Delta was NOT happy about it occurring, and no permission was given. In fact, it was difficult to find video of the skit for a long time because of the backlash. There's an article that was written around the time the skit aired that explains more about Executive Office's reactions. Honestly, the end is what makes me angry about it, simply because the writers and actresses have a dismissive and disrespectful take on the whole thing. https://www.thedp.com/article/1992/0..._over_snl_skit


That being said, when it comes to the use of NPHC letters in this situation, I'm not qualified to comment. I would prefer to stick to what I know, which is my organization's policies and attitudes on matters like this. I will leave the commentary up to NPHC members.

And the screenwriter was an Alpha Gam. We also have a Delta Nu chapter, but the screenwriter is from our Delta Theta chapter.

I remember an interview with her that she pledged twice but never initiated. Perhaps one of our DGs can clear this up?

Do you mean Reese Witherspoon? I recall one interview she gave (possibly on Tonight Show with Jay Leno) she said she never pledged any group, even though she grew up around people to whom joining the right Delta Delta Delta chapter Down South meant the world (pretty sure she used the 3D group name).

I was referring to the author of the "Legally Blonde" book Amanda Brown.
