I actually just found out this weekend that one of my friends from elementary school joined Alpha Sigma Tau at Eastern Illinois University. When I saw her I gave her a big hug & welcomed her to AST, I'm a member at UIC. She was shocked! It's so exciting. Plus, my brother just joined Chi Phi at his school, which also has an AST chapter, whom I will hopefully be joining when I transfer schools this fall.

I went to high school with one of my littles(same year), who had a little that went to our high school two years behind us who had a little who was also two years behind us. We have a little DeMatha lineage.

Small greek world. My spring semester freshman year i went down to the college park chapter for an initation party and i was being given a tour of the house by one brother. I ran into a guy i use to play baseball with and i was like what are you doing here and he said b/c phil another guy we use to played summer league with was a brother. i was like phil the guy that just showed me around the house was first base phil. We completely didn't reconize each other but it was cool because after that whenever i wanted to see how another chapter did something i asked phil and he always invited me down for initation and different event.

None of my close friends in HS went greek, but I know of a few other people who went DG, ADPi, SK, and DDD at UT Knoxville and SK at UT Chatt.

Also, the summer of my Junior year, I was on a mission trip with my church and a girl I had been friends with who was three years younger than me announced that she was going to my university. I was all prepped to tell her to rush SK but I was a Rho Chi that year!! She did go through rush and long story short, she became my little sis and was a bridesmaid in my wedding.
:D

When I went through recruitment last fall, I spent a lot of time getting to know the sisters, and didn't really pay much attention to the other PNMs, so I was really surprised on bid night to see FIVE :eek: other girls that had gone to my highschool! Two were my age, and the other three a grade younger...I was nervous about how it would work out, since we all had hung out with different groups, and were different people in high school, but its actually been a lot of fun, and I'm really happy to call all of them my sisters. :)

A girl who graduated a year after me is a Gamma Phi at the UW, I knew her through sports and her older brother was my lab partner in AP Physics. There are quite a few other Greeks, but that's for another thread that we already have. :D

bumping...

since i have been on facebook alot more lately and through friend requests, i found out that our class valadictorian is an SAE.

others that i know so far include...

fraternities: kappa sigma
sororities: AXO, KKG, AGD, DDD, GPB

Absolutely no other girls from my HS are DG's. :( The "popular" sororities in my hometown area include Zeta (every campus near me has a ZTA chapter), Tri-Delt, ADPi, and Phi Mu (those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head). That's part of the reason I want more Georgia DG chapters! I love my sisterhood and I want to share the love!

I haven't stayed in touch with many people from my graduating class (and there were only 40 of us!), but via Facebook I found out that one of my classmates, as well as a girl I used to play with when were were really little, are KKGs at Babson! That was kind of exciting :)

From my high school and church, I also know:
- A Phi Sigma Kappa at MIT
- A DG at Roanoke
- An AOPi at Elon

Alright, here's my list. This is from school and my Norwegian club:
- 2 Alpha Xi Deltas (Sonoma, Embry-Riddle)
- Theta (Arizona State)
- 2 Kappas (one at Santa Clara, and I went for her installation. Also UCLA)
- 2 ADPis (GWU)
- 2 ZTA (Pomona, Linfield)
- Phi Sigma Sigma (Linfield)
- Delta Sig (Davis)
- LXA (UCR)
- Alpha Phi (UCLA)
- AXO (USD)
- Pi Phi (UCLA)
- DG (UCSB)
- DDD (UCLA)
- SK (Chico)

Awww! My old roomie who transferred became a Kappa Kappa Gamma @ Babson.

One girl from my sister's class in high school joined my chapter of OPhiA.

Other affiliations from HS that I know of: Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Mu, Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, Sigma Kappa, Phi Kappa Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Kappa Tau, Kappa Alpha Society, Theta Chi, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Kappa Psi, Tau Beta Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi.

My daughter's Page School Class had 68 kids. Of the 68, 4 female Pages pledged Pi Beta Phi at 4 different colleges across the country.

My D's chapter has pledged at least 3 House Pages and 2 Senate Pages within the last decade .

I advised the Babson Kappas when we were stationed in Boston. Nice, nice girls!

One of the girls from my HS varsity soccer team that was a year higher than me was an AOII at U of I. :)

Other than that..off the top of my head:
1 KKG (the bio lil sis of my AOII soccer sis), 2 Alpha Phi, 1 GFB, 1 Pi Phi

I went to an all girls high school, so you would think I would know many girls who joined sororities, but there wasn't too many.

No AXiDs :( But I could think of 15 girls that I graduated with who joined sororities...there may be a few more...

1 Alpha Epsilon Phi at Iowa
1 Alpha Phi at SIUE
2 Alpha Omircon Pis (1 at NIU, one at Michigan State)
1 Chi Omega at Carthage
2 Delta Gammas (twins!) at NIU
1 Delta Phi Epsilon at UIC
1 Delta Zeta at NIU
1 Gamma Phi Beta at UW-Milwaukee
2 Kappa Alpha Thetas at UIUC
1 Pi Beta Phi at UIUC
1 Zeta Tau Alpha at Iowa

Another girl I graduated with pledged Sigma Sigma Sigma at WIU, but then depledged.

after i pledged, one of my heart sisters(temporary big sisters) was a girl who had been a senior when i was a freshman in h.s., and whose family had a home the street behind my family's home-i had not even realized that she was at fl. state. a girl one year behind me in h.s. pledged zeta at u of florida, and i found out when i saw her over christmas break-she was wearing her pledge pin(that is back in the days when pledgeships lasted an entire semester). her family lived down the street from mine.
