I was watching O-town's "Making the Band" yesterday on MTV and Trevor, one of the members, was wearing PKF letters. supposedly he goes to Cal State fullerton.

Francine Neff, first woman treasurer of the USA, was an ADPi (they gave everyone who attended a convention a dollar bill with her signature). There's more, but I can't access the list from work .

I heard that Steve Martin was a Delt, and that JFK was a Phi Kappa Theta.

Don't forget about Dr. Seuss!! I am forever being reminded of that by my boyfriend.

Ditto to that...those boys love their Dr. Seuss!

While it's possible, he's not listed on our webpage, and it's the first time I've heard of it.

I guess for comic relief, we'll stick with Drew Carey and David Schwimmer among others.

Having posted a really long list the first time this question was asked on another thread, I'll just do this very short list:

Three Superbowl Winning Quarterbacks and MVP's

John Elway, Denver Broncos; Mark Riepen, Washington Redskins; and Jim Plunkett, whereever the Raiders were that year.

David Schwimmer from Friends, Matthew McCongnehey (sp?), Drew Carey and Will Ferrell from SNL are Delts.

You can see the whole list at www.delts.org.

I have had the pleasure of meeting and partying with Drew Carey. He is an alum of the Delta Omega chapter of Delta Tau Delta at Kent State, and during my collegiate years and shortly thereafter he used to come to KSU's Homecoming.....he was very funny and down-to-earth.

I didn't have the patience to read the whole thread, but Chi Omegas I can vouch for are Lucy Liu, Sela Ward, Mary Ann Mobley (former Miss America, actress, she's on Game Show Network a lot!!!!!!!!) Joanne Woodward (actress, married to Paul Newman), Joyce DeWitt (yes, Janet from 3s Company!!!!)

I have a hard time believing there are not others, particularly with as large a national as we are.

I've heard from different sources that Carly Simon is an AGD. I sent her an email asking, but it hasn't been answered so....

That's hilarious -- I've heard the Carly Simon rumor, too! We had some Thetas call and yell at us after we listed Rue McL....han (can't spell) as an alum in our NPC view book. Our mistake, BUT Blanch (the character) was an Alpha Gam on the show.

These are some of the names my chapter has gathered from other websites....I know some of them (like Heather Locklear and a couple of other actresses) were not "official" -- I don't know if they were not initiated or if they disaffiliated or whatever....if anyone knows the real deal on any of them, let me know!
