Here's my contribution:

Me: Lambda Chi Alpha
Uncle ( by marriage ): Lambda Chi Alpha ( one of the founders of our chapter)
Cousin ( his son ): Lambda Chi Alpha

All from the same chapter. That is just on my Dad's side of the family. On my Mom's side, I do not know but am still researching it. I know my Mom did rush Phi Mu but did not join.

My cousin's two sons, one in high school and one in middle school, have already expressed interest in Lambda Chi.

Unfortunately, i'm the first in the line of my family to go greek... I'm also the first to go to college as well, so, i suppose thats why.

true. It would have been nice to be like "Yeah, i'm a kappa sigma legacy" but i'm not regreting anything.

As for me, I'm it! AOII all the way.
My husband is a Sigma Nu.
S-i-L is a Sigma Kappa.

That's it...no cousins went greek, and I would have "rushed" my cousin had she not gone to Siena College where there is no greek life. Oh well.:p

TotallyWicked 07-09-2007 09:02 PM

Me-Lambda Upsilon Lambda

I'm the first and only greek in my family..however I see my sis going Greek..eventually, and maybe my cousin when he gets to college.

My little sister's only in 4th grade, so I'll work on her going Greek :cool:

I just found out last month that my (much younger) cousin is a relatively new member of the Delt Sig chapter at Grand Valley State.

Me--Chi Omega
Daughter--Delta Gamma
Mother--Delta Delta Delta
Sister--Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sister--Pi Beta Phi

Husband--Theta Chi

Now I just have to wait for grandchildren and nieces and nephews!

carnation 07-20-2007 09:01 PM

OMG! The women in your immediate family are as diversified as in mine! And like me, your mom probably used to dream that she'd start a dynasty of her own sorority...

ETA: OK, I thought I'd already put the affiliations on this thread.

Me: Pi Beta Phi
2 daughters, 5 nieces: Alpha Omicron Pi
2 daughters: Chi Omega
1 daughter: Zeta Tau Alpha
1 daughter is about to rush!
cousins: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Zeta
cousins-in-law: Phi Mu, Delta Zeta, Alpha Gamma Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha
uncle: Sigma Alpha Epsilon
3 uncles-in-law: Kappa Sigma

TigerOwl 07-20-2007 09:18 PM

Thankfully we are very panhellenic in thinking, Carnation. It was more important to find the fit and then go greek!
I wore a sailor cap to the XO alumnae meeting, the night my daughter was at her first new member meeting at Delta Gamma. And yes, I own a tote bag that says, "Delta Gamma Mom!"

Oh, one thing I forgot---all were at different universities!!!

SWTXBelle 07-20-2007 09:26 PM

Carnation - what was/is your mom?

carnation 07-20-2007 09:58 PM

My mom fell in love with a poor medical student and opted to put my dad through med school rather than go to college!

TigerOwl, sometimes it's so weird to be Panhellenic. Most "mom" shirts I have have the organization's name much bigger than the word "mom" so I feel like a perp. I thought maybe it was just me but I wore one shirt to work and forgot and one of our counselors jumped in front of me and started doing a Chi O cheer from her university (she's a Tri Delt).:confused:I guess I looked confused and she said, "You're a Chi O, right?" and I told her Pi Phi and she got a good look at the shirt and almost crawled away.

Then you have to get used to the other org's symbols being around...as I'm typing this, I can see a panda on the hall bookshelf, a cross stitched owl waiting to be framed, and a Zeta ice chest. Or there was the phone call where someone screamed, "Hootie HOO!" into the phone when I answered, then realized I wasn't Ballerina, lol.

So we're wondering if daughter #6 will pledge yet another group...

Even though I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever sorority she joins: Any chance you might get your Pi Phi this time?

TigerOwl 07-20-2007 10:11 PM

Carnation! I also forgot to tell you! I put up two trees during the winter holiday!
The one in the back of the house is my Panhellenic/IFC/University Tree! It's been alot of fun! Dolphins, Owls, White Crosses, crests, symbols, university mascots. Yes, it's all there. Up for only 2 to 3 weeks a year, but has lots of memories of visiting those campuses and the chapter houses!
For your daughter #6, my wish is that she has fun and laughter during recruitment and finds the sisterhood of a lifetime!

Oh, KSUViolet, once again no chance. :( It's been almost a running joke.

TigerOwl, what a gorgeous idea! I wish you'd take a picture and share it with us on GC!

I think that daughter 6 will have a fun time no matter what happens in recruitment...she has a fun time wherever she goes! We can't even take her and #4 out in public, lol.

SuperKwa 07-20-2007 11:53 PM

My dad was a Sigma Alpha Mu, and I'm an Alpha Gamma Delta...working on my 7 year-old sister though :)

Ocalagirl 07-23-2007 11:09 PM

I am so jealous at these huge greek families!!

FloridaTish 07-30-2007 08:57 PM

Me: Gamma Phi Beta

Cousin Kim: Alpha Phi

Cousin Erin: Chi Omega

Cousing Peter: TKE

My dad has 6 brothers and sisters, but they all went to Catholic colleges where they either didn't have GLO's or they just weren't interested, so we are all first generation Greeks. My grandparents didn't go to college, as my grandfathers were both in the military during WWII and married my grandmothers right out of high school.

I love that my daughter is a Gamma Phi legacy, but when she is old enough and if she decides to rush, I won't hold it against her if she chooses another sorority...:)

princessjv 07-30-2007 09:20 PM

ETA: just found out today that a second cousin of mine is in Phi Kappa Phi

WhitGator 07-31-2007 12:55 AM

Mom: Chi Omega
Aunt: Chi Omega
Great Aunt: Chi Omega
Cousin: Chi Omega

As for me...Kappa Kappa Gamma
The odd one out but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Oh and my uncle was a Sigma Chi
