My aunts are: ADPi, Alpha Phi, AGD and Tri Sigma. (only ADPi is on my campus though)
My dad and uncles are KAs.
Of my generation, my cousin is a Sigma Kappa, but hopefully there will be more as they graduate! I'm trying to get my younger cousins interested in sororities, and I know they want to rush. There's a good chance that they would be SK too because there are a ton of SK chapters in Missouri (though the one at Mizzou is dormant :( ). Although I know if I had a daughter I would love her to be a Sigma Kappa, I'd rather she choose the sorority that is right for her.
Oh yeah and my bf is a FIJI!!!

*cough*St. Louis University*cough*

I have a few SK contacts in Missouri :D

ufdale 10-30-2006 04:55 PM

haha I said Mizzou because that because that's where most of my relatives go to college (or Rolla). My family is catholic, though, so you never know!

Drolefille 10-30-2006 05:02 PM

woot catholics.

MUSK81 04-20-2010 03:02 PM

^^What she said about Catholics!^^ Anyway, I'm the first in my immediate family to go Greek - my mom didn't go to college and her siblings' college didn't have a Greek system. Dad did not go Greek. As for my cousins, on my mom's side:

FIJI - 1
Beta Theta Pi - 3
Zeta Tau Alpha - 1

Dad's side:
Alpha Phi - 1

My husband's a Pi Kappa Alpha and my older son will be a Pike legacy at the same school in the fall.

That I know of (we haven't really talked much about Greek life in my family):

One aunt is a Chi Omega, like myself
A cousin is Kappa Delta
I believe another cousin was/is Greek (though I don't know affiliation), and my grandmother did go through rush in the 1950s but dropped out for unknown reasons

amIblue? 12-20-2011 09:50 AM

Oh, what the heck.

Me: Kappa
Mom: Kappa Delta
Dad: Sigma Chi
Stepdad: Kappa Alpha

I only have brothers, one is KA; the other two were not greek.

Two of my brothers in law on my husband's side are KA. My father in law is KA.

Sisters in law are as follows: two Chi O's, a KD, a Theta, and a DG.

I think that's everyone. Looking forward to seeing how the next generation goes. My daughter currently has 15 cousins, so lots of opportunities for going greek!

I'm an AXO
Husband Sigma Nu

Son- at a college with no Frats, but he plays a college sport which is sorta like a frat:)
DD- still in HS, but hoping to go Greek- One of her college requirements is a strong Greek system among other things.

My Dad: Kappa Sigma
My Cousin: Theta
SIL: Kappa
2 Nieces Sigma Kappa's

None of my siblings went Greek

CougADPi 12-24-2011 02:16 PM

My cousin went through recruitment at my school this past fall and became a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma!

It's hard for me to imagine that many family members as Greek, since I be the only one in my family and only one in the extended family.

So going into recruitment you were a DZ, DG and ADPi legacy? Did you like any of your legacy houses? Did you ever feel pressured to go one of your legacy houses, especially ADPi since it seems like every female on your dad's side is ADPi?

This is completely fascinating to me!

I'm surprised I never responded to this thread though I don't have much to add. There aren't many Greeks in my family.

I'm a Sigma Kappa. I have an Alpha Phi cousin out of Utah and a cousin that's an AXO out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She prefed AXO and SK but went AXO. I also have an aunt that's a DZ.
