famous pi phis
 

I am always interested to learn about the famous alumni of different sororities, but I can't find any information on famous pi phis...do you know of any?

U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex) is a Pi Beta Phi alum...

Faye Dunaway, actress
Nancy Kulp, actress (Miss Jane, Beverly Hillbillies)
Patricia Neal, actress
Miss Americas '58,'63,'81 that I know of
Grace Coolidge, 1st Lady
Marilyn Horne, opera star
Carrie Chapman Catt, early suffragist
Eileen Heckart, actress
Kathy Garver, actress (Family Affair)
Margaret Truman Daniel, President's daughter

Don't forget Delta Burke's character, Suzanne Sugarbaker on television's "Designing Women". I think that she was supposed to be a Pi Phi from Ole Miss.

There is a picture in the White House of Grace Coolidge wearing a wine dress and our sorority pin. Also, everytime you eat a piece of wrigley's gum.. think Pi Phi.. notice the arrow. HIs wife was a Pi Phi.

Meg Ryan is also a Pi Phi
