Greek Celebrities: 35 Surprising Stars Who Were Sorority Girls in College
Whether you are a sister for life or turn your nose up at the idea of Greek life, you have to admit there is something intriguing about the secret world of sororities. Especially when celebrities in sororities come into play.
Yes, even massively famous stars spent time hazing pledging, learning secret handshakes, parading around campus in their letters, chairing formals, and most likely partying with frat boys. Could you imagine being a fly on the wall at Kappa Kappa Gamma while Sophia Bush was there?

Take a look at 35 celebrities in sororities and let us know who you were most surprised about!
