[QUOTE=azureblue;2228472]They didn't go into specifics, but I am thinking that they mean:

Great grandmother --> Grandmother --> Mother --> PNM??

This is exactly our lineage in ADPi. On another interesting note, I have another daughter. She went through recruitment and chose another group :(. Her chapter could have had bragging rights as well. She loves her group and I am happy for her.

[QUOTE=atrianglepi;2228487]That is so exciting to me! I feel bad about your other daughter, but you have a lovely attitude!


It's been a while, but I'm fairly sure that our "5 generation legacy" was
ADPi Great Grandma--->ADPi Grandma-->ADPi Mom--->2 ADPi aunts--->ADPi legacy. Still not five generations. I feel a little robbed, NOT because of bragging rights, but because of all of the problems our chapter had due to this little Madam!

This is incredible! How wonderful to have such a rich ADPi history. I can only imagine how special it is to you and your family! :) I am glad your other daughter found her home...even if it is not at ADPi. I'll bet the ADPi chapter was crushed!

I love hearing the lineage stories. My birth sister is my closest legacy. She was President of the chapter the year I was a sophomore, and was also the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi that same year. The composite of the year when she was president is hanging in the beautiful foyer of the sorority house. When I took my daughter to visit a few years ago, I took a picture of her standing by the composite and sent it to my sister. Sweet memories!

Re Luke Bryan's wife: she is from my chapter (and he was a Sigma Chi at the same school). 'Course we're separated by just a FEW years!

atrianglepi: USC is my daughter's number 1 choice of school for next year. She said it just felt like "home." This is interesting, because most people from our school go to UGA, Auburn, or Alabama. There are only two other girls from any recent history of our school who have chosen USC. They are both currently juniors. One is a Phi Mu and one is a Zeta. We are going to visit Alabama soon, and have already done Georgia. But since June, her heart is at USC.

BBelleADPi- sent you a PM, but it said your mailbox is full.

It is now cleaned out. Send away!

Amazing news from Executive Office via Facebook! This is so, so special!

We have some exciting news trickling into Executive Office. This Formal Recruitment season, we have pledged two descendants of Octavia Andrew Rush, new Alphas Carrie from Beta Omega and Caroline from Beta Sigma and a descendant of Elizabeth Williams Mitchell new Alpha Jane at Beta Epsilon!

I am officially an old fogie - this brought tears to my eyes!!

Me too! Per the Facebook page, there may be one more this year! AMAZING!

Descendents from Octavia Andrew Rush
Carrie - Beta Omega/Auburn
Caroline - Beta Sigma/Mercer

Descendent from Ella Pierce Turner
Anna - Zeta Omicron/Georgia Tech

Descendent from Elizabeth Williams Mitchell
Jane - Beta Epsilon/South Carolina

**Fun fact on Jane (per the notes from the Facebook post). It looks like she is the daughter of Ferebee, the descendent who was initiated at Grand Convention in 2011 in Phoenix! This was so special...especially after the first portrait of Elizabeth Williams Mitchell was presented at Convention!

I just love my ADPi!

I am as lazy as sin, but had to sign in to add to this thread. I love traditions, especially Southern ones. I know two girls who are currently in the Tech and Auburn chapters; I'd love to ask them about these girls. I think those would be some very special initiations!

Now, while I'm signed in...off to the other thread.
