ive heard the reason Coke changed its colors from brown to red is because he married an AOII

michael eisner is a DU, and the mighty ducks logo (the mask and hockey sticks) resembles our superimposed letters (our badge) turned upside down. also, Delta Upsilon's unofficial mascot is the noble duck. and in the cartoon series the story line follows the legend of some alien thingy named Drake DuCaine. the Ducaine part comes from DU. like in delta upsilon, also member of the fraternity are often referred to as DU's and ducks.

Milton Caniff was a Sigma Chi and cartoonist who drew two popular strips (well, popular in their day). The first was "Terry and the Pirates". It was very successful, especially during World War II. Mr. Caniff also drew "Steve Canyon", another successful strip. In "Steve Canyon", Caniff added a lot of Sigma Chi symbols. He was notorious for dropping in Sigma Chi references in strips that were published right before rush. He also drew may of the illustrations that were in our pledge book, "The Norman Shield".

Um, some of these are completely ridiculous.


It's kind of like me saying "guys, (insert movie name) has doves in it!! Well, actually they are pigeons but everyone knows pigeons are just doves that are gray.... anyway, I TOTALLY saw a dove, so this movie MUST have been written, acted, filmed, and directed TOTALLY by sigma kappas."

Obviously Prince is in love with a Sigma Kappa, heck maybe Appollonia is one. He did wear lots of purple and talk about doves crying.








P.S. I'd kill for some Sella's right now

There are pigeons in Mary Poppins, pigeons are gray doves, therefore the whole movie is about Sigma Kappa! Sorry thetas :P

Quick, someone invent something cool or start a company and use a squirrel!!

Also, in the movie The Sweetest Thing (GREAT MOVIE BTW) when they run into the gas station bathroom, on the wall it says "SN Northwestern" cool huh??

There's not much to really incorporate into movies...or maybe it's all so subtle that even we don't catch it!

I've often wondered if an Alpha Chi Omega worked on the set of or as a writer (obviously not a main one) on Friends. There was a screen in Monica's room that had lyres on it and Joey's agent's name is Estelle Leonard, who is one of our founders. It's probably a total coincidence. Other than that, I've got nothing.

[AOE2AlphaPhi]

Does anyone know about any Alpha Phi references?

I can't 100% confirm, but I've heard that several places. I wish our website would recognize the writer as a notable alumna if it's true. Seriously, Estelle Leonard and the lyres would be a huge coincidence.

I've always heard the fleur di lis in the Campbell Soup cans are because Mrs. Campbell was a Kappa?

And Kate Jackson, who was a real-life Kappa, mentioned being a Kappa during an episode of her 80's show Scarecrow and Mrs. King.

[1908Revelations]

In the Steve Harvey Show; Steve (an Omega) played Steve Hightower and in his apartment he had an Omega Psi Phi wreath that was shown almost every episode. Right fellas!
