The are no Greeks in my family. God willing, I'll be the first.

Me: Chi Omega
My brother: Lambda Chi :D

greek family
 

Dad: Lamda Chi
Mom local - Kappa Rho -later colonized into Phi Mu
Me - Phi Mu
First Cousin - Phi Mu

I am the first greek in my family!
It was REALLY funny trying to explain the greek alphabet and the usual new member stuff to my mom. At first I swear she looked like she might have thought it was cult....BUT now she LOVES it!!!
I tried to make her as aware and give her as many opprotunities to come around, help out with philanthropy, and she loves being included in little things like that. The mother daughter days we have are always something she looks forward to..
My two little sisters (12 and 9yrs old) both are so into the whole greek thing they run around my house singing Phi Mu songs... LOL whenever I come to visit they go into singing mode...makes me laugh every time!

I have created 2 future greeks! LOL

I am the second greek in my family:

Uncle: Sigma Nu
Me: LXA
Wife: Mu Delta Alpha

First Greek in my immediate family, but I do have a cousin at IU that is in a fraternity, but I cannot remember which one! My grandma was in a local in High school. (Sub dub is what she calls it but I know it had Greek letters because I have seen her pin.)

My younger cousins will be in college too, so I feel that I can convince them all to Go Greek! They have been watching me in things and seem to follow my lead! I just hope they decide to do it because they will really enjoy it alot! And hopefully my little brother will decide to go Greek too!

Greeks in the Family
 

The Male side:
Brother, Father, Both Grandfathers, one Great Uncle, two Greatgrandfathers, two Greatgranduncles, and a herd of cousins over the last couple of generations - DEKE
One Uncle - ATO
Father's side other cousins - three SAEs and a couple of members of locals which I think are now either Nationals or have gone dormant.

The Female side:
Mother and one Aunt - DZ
Sister, One Grandmother, One Greatgrandmother - Pi Phi
One Greatgrandmother and Three Greataunts - Theta
Mother's side cousins - a mob of DZs and Chi Os
Father's side cousins - a mob of Pi Phis, a bunch of Thetas, and two kappas.

I am pretty sure I missed a couple going way back, but I'll check with my Grandmother, who is our 'family historian', to make sure.

I am the first member of my family on either side to even go to college. I do have a 2nd cousin that is going to nursing school this fall, but I'm still the first! My mom and dad are still stuck with the greek stereotypes of the 60's and 70's, and are leary about me joining a sorority. I'm sure they'll be more than happy I did it when it's all said and done. :)

First greek in my family too!:) But not the only one now!:)

Me: Iota Beta Chi (local)
My brother: Zeta Psi
My husband: well, he never got initated in any...but he pledged Zeta Psi, Kappa Sigma (which was only a colony and folded), and Phi Kappa Pi
My brother-in-law: also pledged Kappa Sigma (but as I said, they folded)

me: alpha phi

aunt: alumni initiate into alpha phi

sisters(2): "were" alpha chis, but dropped out of school anthe house :(

fiance: Pi Kappa Phi

F Mother in law: Kappa Alpha Theta

F Father in law: Kappa Sigma

F grandmother in law: delta gamma

F grandfather in law: beta theta pi

Little brother going through rush in the fall....he already loves Pi Kapp though! Cross your fingers (its fiances chapter).

Me: Phi Sig
Twin Cousins: Phi Kappa Sigma
Grandpa: Chi Phi
Uncle: DTD

My great aunt was a greek at Pitt, Im hoping she was a Phi Sig!

I am an adpi at Northern Arizona University

My mom is an alpha phi at University of California at Santa Barbra
My sister is a delta gamma at University of California at Irvine
My aunt (dad's sister) is also a delta gamma at San Jose State

Niether alpha phi or delta gamma are on my campus, and anyways none of my family expected me to rush, but when they meet my sisters they realized why I did.

Mom: Delta Sigma Theta
StepDad: Kappa Alpha Psi
Sister: Zeta Phi Beta
Cousin: Alpha Phi Alpha

I have a few greeks in my family. That's why I decided to go through Formal Recruitment.
I joined Alpha Xi Delta
My brother is and SAE here, too, and was chapter advisor this past year.
My mother is a Kappa, former president of the Quad Cities Alumnae Association.
A few of my uncles are Betas. One cousin is a ZBT and another is a Theta Phi Alpha. Or I sould say was, unfortunatly she had to suspend her membership.

You can bet when I have kids they will go through recruitment. I really don't mind what chapter they join since I know the greek community is so good overall.
