Even her fans don’t know that Kourtney Kardashian used to live in Tucson, Arizona.

Not only did she graduate from the University of Arizona with a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and a minor in Spanish, but the oldest of the Kardashian-Jenner children also pledged to the Beta Epsilon chapter of Alpha Phi sorority.

Her classmates at university included Nicole Richie, Heather Blair, and Luke Walton. Soon after graduation, Kourtney was cast in the reality series Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive that aired on the E! network in 2005.

“I failed two classes in college because I was too nervous to give speeches,” the Spanish minor told Us Weekly of her sorority years. Do you think Kourtney speaks better Spanish than Selena Gomez?

The first women’s fraternity founded in the northeast, Alpha Phi International Women’s Fraternity (ΑΦ, also known as APhi) is a sorority with 172 active chapters and over 250,000 initiated members.

In August 2011, Kourtney Kardashian flaunted her sexy legs in an interesting outfit.

She had on what looked like a Japanese slash Victorian-inspired mini dress that she hyped up with a severe updo and a pair of red sole Christian Louboutin Deva 120 suede fringed heels. The piece was boldly printed, had puffed and cuffed long sleeves, and quite a short hem.

What do you think of the look? Can you appreciate the outfit? It does look different, doesn’t it?

We actually find it refreshingly edgy. While we also love the print, the poofy sleeves and bold flowers did look a little overwhelming on Kourtney’s small frame. It’s a good thing the hem was short. Otherwise, she would have been completely drowned by the dress.

If you can appreciate its appeal and you wouldn’t mind wearing the piece, then do know that her mini dress is from Aryn K.
