According to Malfoy Myrtle was muggle born.  He doesn't mention her 
name but in CoS he says that "a Mudblood *died*" (p 223, US paperback)
when the chamber was opened during Riddle's time.  Not that Malfoy is 
the greatest source ever, but it's all I've got.  
I don't think any mention is made as to which house Myrtle was in.
