No pic, but I interviewed her for my story in The Daily Campus
From the story:
Jordan won't be the first SMU sorority woman to appear in Playboy. In 1980, SMU alumna and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority member Erin Bann appeared in the "Girls of the Southwest Conference" pictorial.
Bann, who holds a doctorate in education from the University of Texas and now lives in Florida, said she has mixed feelings about her participation in Playboy.
"It's really difficult to play the guessing game, you really have no way of predicting how it will affect you in the future," Bann said.
Bann said her friends weren't too happy with her decision to pose, and that Kappa wasn't happy about, even though they didn't punish her for participating.
"I guess I'm still a Kappa, I wasn't kicked out or anything," she said.
Bann said she auditioned because she thought it would be fun, but "I just didn't think I had a chance in you-know-what to make it."
Bann said being in Playboy hasn't ever come up in any job she's had, but if it did, she wouldn't lie about it.
"If I were to run for president it would probably come up," she said.
Bann said she couldn't remember how much she was paid to participate, but she didn't do it because she needed the money.
"They paid you by how much skin you show, and I think that's how they still do it now," Bann said.
Looking back, Bann said she would have considered her friends' feelings more in her decision, and would think twice about participating.
Bann questions how much impact the Internet has had on women who pose in Playboy.
When she was in the magazine, there wasn't a lot of similar content, and it was a bigger deal to her family.
She said the Internet has made so much content similar to Playboy's available; one woman posing doesn't have as much of an impact on society.
It's a momentary splash," Bann said. "It used to be 15 minutes of fame, now it's five downloads of fame."
