Twins?
 

.

For some reasons, at every campus I know of, twins seem to be so popular during recruitment! Maybe having an identical new members ups a sorority's 'cool factor', I don't know! They're always the 'girls to get' during rush though.

At Clemson, there are two sets of twins in sororities, each of which belong to the same GLO. One pair were both on the other side of rush this year, one as a Rho Chi and the other as a Panhel Exec member. It's probably best that way, because otherwise I think rushees would figure out what GLO you were in if they saw your identical sister in a party...they'd probably just assume!

There are two triplets (if that makes sense - the third is a boy who goes to college in KY) who pledged two different sororities here also, though. They preffed the same groups, if I'm correct, but they joined two different ones. It's cute because they share a car and so you'll see their SUV driving down the street with two sets of sorority letters on it. :)

In my sorority, we have a twin, but her sister goes to a school in GA so we really weren't aware that she was a twin when she pledged. It's hilarious, though, because some older girls forget and become SOconfused when the sister comes to visit! Suddenly there are two Allisons, out of nowhere! :D

We had twins go through and yes, they pledged the same sorority.

I know of two sets of twins from my collegiate days, and in both cases, they pledged the same sororities. As for telling them apart... much as I hate to admit it, I had some trouble with two of them.

We have 3 sets of twins in GLOs on our campus. One set of girls are both Alpha Xi's...another set of girls are Phi Mus....and the twin guys are both Phi Taus.

The Phi Mu twins said they went together b/c they both played in sports with the girls from the house.

The Phi Tau twins went together b/c they both liked Phi Tau, but for separate reasons.

One of the Alpha Xi twins was going to pledge our house until she found out her twin wasn't going to. She said that they shared everything so far in life together, and she didn't want greek letters to change anything.

I could use a twin sister to help me out with recruitment details right now! ;)

I had a set of twins rush with me, but they were not identical. They were both great young ladies & both got a bid from DST. Only one of them decided to sign though, her sister had been offered a scholarship to play softball if she transferred back home. :)

There is 1 set of twins who are in another sorority on my campus.

There is also another set of twins who wanted to join my sorority, but after talking to their parents about it, their parents did not want to pay dues for both girls. :-( They are both really cool, but there isn't much we could do about their situation.

We had one twin in our sorority. Her sister didn't want to pledge and never did. I think they were into their own things. They aren't identical, but I couldn't tell them apart until I was within a few feet of them. Where I lived on campus my sophomore year, there must have been a dozen sets of twins, some identical. Walking around my campus, I felt like I was in a constant state of deja vu! :p

At my school we had a set of beautiful twins that went through rush at the same time. They are identical twins and you can barely tell them apart. Funny thing though one went theta the other went something else.

Not exactly twins...
 

We are lucky to have 3 legacies... right now

We have Kylene, and her sister is our advisor (and my 2 big!)
Stephanie and her sister recently graduated (Hi Kirsten!)
and Kristin and her sister Stephanie (a different one) who was in my class!

Plus, in our spring 99 class, we had a set of sisters :)

I know there are sets of twins in GLOs on FSU's campus but I can only think of one set at the moment. They are identical and one of them is my sister and the other went Gamma Phi. They are always visiting the other's house and they sometimes call themselves the "Gamma Phi Mu girls"

On my campus, there is a set of twins that joined Chi Omega. Also, their older sister a few years before was a member there as well.

We had 2 sets of identical twins. Jennifer and Julie joined in 93 and then in rush 94 they rushed Jennifer and Holly. There was another set that went through rush in 93 but they each joined different house. I think we were the only sorority with 2 sets of identicle twins-it was very neat!

We've got a set of identical twins in the chapter I help advise right now. One of the girls changed her hairstyle last year, so it's much easier to tell them apart now! :)

My sophmore year, identical twins went through and their mom was a XO- lucky for me- they both pledged because one is my best friend/soul sister and the other is my daughter!

My senior year another set went through and one went XO the other Delta Gamma. This was tricky because we really adored Amy but her sister just did not seem to fit in. We had no idea if they wanted to join the same sorority or not so I think we spent too much time at the parties trying to find out if they were rushing "together" or making up their own minds. It ended up happy because I realize now that the sister "did not fit in" because she really loved Delta Gamma. She seemed so moody at our parties but after I saw her with the DGees and her huge smiles all the time- I knew her heart belonged there and both girls were happy with their choice! :)

P.S.- for those who think sororities just pick on looks- identical twins are proof that we don't. Two girls looking exactly alike can easily pledge two different houses.

Twins at UBC!
 

In Rush 1990 at UBC, 2 girls went through Rush..they were fraternal twins.

One joined AGD and the other Gamma Phi Beta!

Two of my LS's from Alpha chapter are identical twins. They are easy to tell apart because one is a little taller than the other. :) We have another set of twins as well that pledged at the same time at the same chapter.

I've known several sets on several campuses and the weird thing is that all the identical sets I know pledged the same group and the fraternals pledged 2 different groups.

I have a fraternal twin brother and he hates fraternities.

We had one twin pledge us, even though they were both going to school there...I knew her sister before I knew her, actually. They were fraternal and not close at all (as a matter of fact, they pretty much hated each other's friends, me being an exception).

There was also a set of fraternal twins who pledged AST. I think the prettier of the 2 ended up as homecoming queen.

My chapter had a set of twins when I joined (they're alums now), and this fall we initiated another set. They're not identical, though, so at least I can tell them apart!

When I went through rush, there were twins (fraternal) in my rush group. They roomed together in the dorms, but one went DG and the other Zeta.

There was a set of identical twins when I went through rush. One of them was in my rush group (odd that the other wasn't since they had the same las name). I always thought that they seperated them so that they'd make up their minds as individuals. Well I guess they did, one went Chi-O and the other joined Alpha Phi.

At Texas Tech, we've had quite a few sets of twins join Alpha Phi together. Our most recent set just graduated, I believe. :-)

Um, I just reread my post and realized that it looks like a 4th grader typed it. Oops.....sorry :p

This past fall, 2 sets of twins went through rush. All four seemed like super nice girls, and we rushed them very hard, and all four came back to prefs. Well, through some error in the computer system, we got one set of twins, and then only one of the other twins. We'll call her Suzy. So Suzy's sister, Shirley ends up pledging the sorority that she got a bid from. Funny thing is that Suzy starts hanging out with her sister's sorority more than ours. And her sister is not very nice to us at all. Shirley walks around campus is her XYZ letters, and doesn't even acknowledge my sisters or I when we say hi, even if we are wearing letters, knowing full well that we are her sister's sorority sisters. Sadly, Suzy ends up dropping, and now she just sort of hangs with her sister's sorority. The other twins are awesome, yet I'm embarrassed to say that I can't always tell them apart!

I know of two sets of twins at UM. One set joined the same sorority and ther other set (my year) both went separate ways...one went Theta the other KKG. Hey they were fraternal.

I went through rush with a set of fraternal twins. One pledged Phi Mu while her sister went with us at Alpha Gam.

I think guys tend to be more independent about this than girls, at least at my school. My hubby is a twin and he and his brother went their own ways. Brent went Delt, which had been his dad's chapter, and his brother went Sigma Chi. Relations between Delt and Sigma Chi were really close when we were in school, they called themselves the East Main Alliance. The girls were a different story. It always seemed that when twins were coming through rush they made it well known that they were a two-for-one deal.....they were only going together, and that was that. What was more annoying was that they always seemed to have their pick just because of the novelty of the twin thing. We never took any of the ones that went through when I was there because they always had such attitudes.

I've seen all sorts of variations so far.

I know of one set of twins at Kansas State (and been told of another pair at Nebraska...long story in how I foudn that ou) that went to different houses.

My date to formal, she and her twin went to the same house. While I know of some twins from HS where one went through rush, and the other didn't. There was also a pair where one waited until sophomore year while the the other had done it as a freshman. I think they ended up the same house since the one who hadn't gone through still hung out a lot with the girls of her sisters chapter.
I also know of some twins who went to different schools one on the west coast and the other on the east coast and they went through rush without talking to each other and ended up pledging the same sorority! It was a complete coincidence apparently

we have a girl who's twin sister is a chi-o. From what I understand they didn't want to be in the same sorority.

there is a set of male twins on campus, one is a brother of sigma phi omicron, the other rushed, got a bid, and dropped the semester after his twin pledged in..

in my sorority we have a twin! her twin doesn't isn't a sister of any sorority, however.. but they still are IDENTICAL. its funny watching all the fraternity guys go up to her and talk to her to just realize its not kerri, but katie :)

we have 2 sets of identical twins in my sorority, it really confused me during rush because i couldnt tell which ones i had already met and ended up waving to girls i had never seen... but i guess it didnt hurt me too bad - right?!;)

We have two sets of identical twins in our chapter right now. I can tell one set apart...but I'm still working on the other! At our school I have seen quite a few sets of identical twin girls, and they are ALWAYS in the same chapter together. And the one set of identical guys is in the same fraternity.

I have a twin sister and we both joined Pi Phi on our campus. I can't imagine what it would have been like if we joined different houses. My real little sister rushed last year on our campus and also joined Pi Phi. It was so much fun for all of us to be in the same house together! (Real exciting for my parents...paying for three sets of dues!)

One of our girls is a twin and her sister attends Denison University. Julie joined Tri Delt there and Lexi joined DG here. I think it is funny when Lexi drives Julie's car because there is a Tri-Delt sticker on it but no DG sticker because there are DGs at Denison and no Tri-Delts at Akron. Its funny when Julie comes to visit cause the only difference between them is the length of their hair!

We have a set of identical twins in our chapter, but they both recently graduated and went alum. It was easier for us though, because they rushed during different semesters.

We hve 2 sets of twins and in my pledge class there is a girl who has a twin but went DG.

There are two identical twins in Pi Kapp.

Two years ago, we had twins go through but one of them dropped out of rush because she got really sick. The other went ZTA.

In my pledge class, one of the girls had a twin but the twin never went through recruitment.
