Brother-in-Law--Alpha Epsilon Pi

I don't know ALL of my family's Greek affiliations, simply because my dad's side of the family isn't as Greek, so we don't really talk about it much.

Mom: Alpha Xi Delta
Grandmother (mom's mom): Alpha Xi Delta
Dad: Theta Chi
Grandfather (mom's dad): Delta Sigma Phi
Both cousins (mom's side): Sigma Phi Epsilon
Cousin's fiance (mom's side): ?
Aunt (mom's side): Alpha Omicron Pi
Uncle (mom's side): Sigma Theta Epsilon...and maybe a social one too...
Aunt (dad's side): ?
Uncle (dad's side): ?
Me: Alpha Xi Delta

So far, without talking to any family members, that's all I can remember.

My little sister - can't wait to find out if she chooses greek life and if so what her choice would be!

:D

Wow, that's awesome. And if you don't mind my asking, what's a "silver star"?

I see some of you are like 2nd & 3rd generation members of your sorority, I think that's so cool.

REE1993 03-13-2007 07:51 PM

ErinIsBadNews 03-13-2007 08:37 PM

Poppy (Mom's Dad)- Pi Kappa Alpha
Me- Phi Mu

My Poppy died when I was 4 or 5, so I have never had the opportunity to talk to anyone in my family who understands greeklife. It took like a year for my family to learn that it is pronounced Mu not Moo. Some of them I think will never learn. Its a U not an O. :rolleyes:

My Grammy recently found my Poppy's paddle. It made me all mushy.

AGDee 03-13-2007 10:07 PM

My dad is a TKE and then I have over 140,000 sisters who are Alpha Gams ;)

I have a lot of extended family representing the Divine Nine. At the last Gray family reunion I attended in Atlanta, I saw Greek licence plates left and right (my extended family is huge and I do not know everyone). After all, my grandma is one of 12 kids :)

Brother-in-law- Phi Delt

my sister-in-law was Phi Beta Kappa (does that count?)

My son's godfather is a Phi Tau and he is already planning that my son will be too:p

I think that it is sooo awesome that so many of our families represent so many groups!!! :D Yay for GREEK pride!!!

No apologies necessary. To me, at least, it's interesting because my family is so lacking in Greek alums.

Delta Sigma Theta: various cousins, including a first cousin who crossed Spring 1997 with me

Sigma Gamma Rho: an older cousin who has been an active member for 34 years

Alpha Kappa Alpha: another cousin

I am sure I have others but those are the ones I know off of the top of my head. :cool:

schnocks 03-14-2007 10:50 PM

Dad: Pi Kappa Phi (founding member at Seton Hall)
Me: Alpha Delta Pi

And that's it for my family! Apparently, a sorority (my mom does not recall which one, or maybe she just won't tell me?) tried to colonize at my parents' alma mater back when they were in college, and my mom would have been a founding member, but they couldn't quite get it off the ground.

jadis96 03-14-2007 11:19 PM


Mom: ZTA

Dad: pledged ATO (dropped after having trouble with grades 1st year of college, Phi Beta Kappa though)

Yeah. One of them was livid!!!!! I guess because of the leadership she held (she has 2 children under 2 so she is still active, but no position) she was a charter member of a chapter. I understand and respect their decision (only 2 of them are mad), but she will get over it...sooner or later.

minDyG 03-15-2007 01:17 AM

In the "other gender" forum, I incorrectly stated that if I were a guy, I'd be an ATO legacy...and just to set the record straight, my uncle was actually a Pi Kapp, not an ATO (I don't know why I thought he was...I think one of my dad's friends may have been an ATO and I thought he meant my uncle?). Anyway, the only other Greek that I know of in my family was my cousin who was a Farm House at Auburn. But I'm the only sister (so far)! And I'm Delta Gamma of course.

TrulyKappa 03-15-2007 05:43 PM

New to the board but i guess ill finally add something...

Mom: Alpha Kappa Alpha
Dad: Nothing (he went to the army instead)
Me: Kappa Kappa Gamma
Uncle: Alpha Phi Alpha
Cousin(s): Delta Sigma Theta, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi

aephi alum 03-15-2007 07:15 PM

It's just little ol' me. Everyone else in my family who went to college either went to a college without a greek system, or they were anti-greek.

petals 03-15-2007 08:48 PM

Just me, too. I'm kind of sad that my younger brother's top two picks for college don't have Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia chapters even though they're known for their music programs. I have a feeling that org would be right up his alley. C'est la vie.
