[edit] Rework

The previous version of this article was extremely sloppy and nothing more than a copy and paste work and not a very good one at that. I've added pictures, more sections and gave it a cleaner look.

Is there any evidence that Reese Witherspoon is a Gamma Phi Beta? I've never seen that, and I don't believe she's listed on the website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.199.128.97 (talk • contribs)

On Reese's IMDB biography it states that she is a member of Gamma Phi Beta. Thee17 20:47, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

IMDB is not a reliable source since the info is user submitted. If she was a member you'd need a better source than that to verify the info. --ImmortalGoddezz 21:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

How about http://www.auburn.edu/student_info/greeks/gamma_phi_beta/famous_alumna.html as a reliable source. Thee17 00:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Also no. It's not published by a reliable source. An organization website published individually by an individual chapter is generally not a reliable source. Please read over WP:RS, it will give you a better idea of what is reliable in citations and what isn't. But for a quick example, I've found several chapter websites claiming Lauren Weisberger was an alumni of Alpha Chi Omega. She is, in fact, not. A reliable source, a newspaper called the Jewish Ledger has printed an article stating that she is in fact an alumni of Alpha Epsilon Phi.[1] Hope this helps. --ImmortalGoddezz 02:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Stanford University's chapter of Gamma Phi went inactive in 1992. Reese graduated high school in 1994. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.27.143.223 (talk) 21:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Official Colours

On the official website at http://www.gammaphibeta.org/meet/overview/ the official colours are clearly listed as Brown and Mode. The New Logo page just says that the branding is brown and pink although that does not Pink and official colour. The pink is likely from the pink carnation their official flower.
