If you’re currently a member of Greek life, it’s always fun to learn that your favorite celebrity is in that very same boat. Still, it’s probably not all that surprising to make this kind of discovery, considering the off-the-charts ambition and talent of your typical sorority member. A pretty big number of celebs are also proud members of sororities. Maybe they’re even members of the very same sorority you’re a part of!
That being said, here’s a list of celebrities with ties to Greek life.
2. Carrie Underwood, Tri Sigma
As we’re sure you know, Carrie Underwood is easily one of the biggest country-pop icons of all time, a role she’s sat in for a good number of years now. But did you also know that Carrie is a member of Tri Sigma? She pledged with the outstanding organization while she was a student at Northeastern State University.

3. Farrah Fawcett, Delta Delta Delta
Back when she studied at the University of Texas in Austin, the legend herself, Farrah Fawcett, pledged Delta Delta Delta — AKA Tri Delta. And, of course, Farrah later went on to become a six-time Golden Globe Award nominee, as well as a four-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee. It’s fair to say that she had a pretty incredible acting career, and her start in Tri Delta probably didn’t hurt.

Beloved actress-turned-royal-turned-normal, Meghan Markle, is remembered quite fondly by her peers at Northwestern University.
