Throwback Thursday: Celebrities Who Were Greek
@kell4ynicole

One of my favorite parts of recruitment is the house tour portion. PNM’s are given tours of the sorority houses that they have been invited to that day and they are shown the ins and outs of the chapter. Some things that many chapters do on this day is show off the different celebrities who were once active members of their national organizations. 

It’s cool to think about the different men and women that are doing or have done great things and that one of the first big things that these people were involved in was Greek life. Some of them were even members here at OSU. (Go Pokes!) 

Fraternity Brothers 

Alpha Gamma Rho – Orville Redenbacher, Purdue University. To build better men… and better popcorn. 

Alpha Tau Omega – Guy Fieri, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Host of "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives."

Beta Theta Pi – Adam West, Saint Louis University. I guess Batman should have worn pink and blue instead. 

Delta Tau Delta – James Marsden, Oklahoma State University. Actor in "X-Men," "Enchanted" and "27 Dresses."

FIJI – Seth Meyers, Northwestern. SNL cast member and head writer.

Lambda Chi Alpha – Kenny Chesney, East Tennessee State. If I win Watermelon Bust can my prize be Kenny serenading me? 

Pi Kappa Alpha – Tim McGraw, University of Louisiana at Monroe. Tim, meet me on the pirate ship at GDD this year? ... check yes or no.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon – T. Boone Pickens, Oklahoma State University. If you don’t know who Boone is by now, do you even go to OSU? 

Sigma Chi – David Letterman, Ball State University. Television host and comedian, "Late Show with David Letterman."

Sigma Nu – Harrison Ford, Ripon College. Indiana Jones really has no reason to be afraid of snakes.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
