Twins
 

Do we have any twins on GC?

If so, please tell us your recruitment story. Did you and your sister pledge the same sorority, different sororities or one was in a sorority and one non-Greek?

I posted this in another thread, but I'm a proud sorority-aunt, so I'll post again.

We had a twin go through rush and pledge ASA. Her twin sister COBed the next week. The twin that went through rush just had a little baby legacy last week. :D They were honestly two of my favorite sisters, and the ones I keep in contact with the most to this day.

ETA: Also, AlwaysSAI and AlwaysAlphaGam are twins...and you can guess how that turned out by their usernames.

Oh dear sister, you might enjoy this thread, even if it was a work of pure fiction. ;)

Excuse me, how did you know??? :rolleyes: She's not even that active on the boards!

you had it in your siggy at one point. :p

You did a recruitment story too, right?

That I did. hahaha. I'm so exhausted.

Now that you mention it, I recall that. I think she still has it in her sig.

Sorry guys, it's friday and I'm worn out.

We had in-house legacy twins go through one year. One girl pledged her legacy chapter, the other pledged a different NPC organization. They were both respectful of their decisions and very happy where they ended up.

What a coincidence! I just received KD's quarterly magazine & there was an article about alumnae twins (one set had rushed @ UF when I was a collegian). It discussed their attitudes going through rush/recruitment and if they decided to pledge together or not.

It was an interesting story... so I'd enjoy reading others. Just not a whole rush thread.. ;)

This reminds me-

We had a set of idenitical twins pledge Phi Sig last semester. They are like really nice girls.....but I think their lives are too intertwined. They are pursuing the same degree, live together, have every class together and joined the same org!

Seriously, there is something wrong with that!

I know I said this on another thread, but when I pledged AOII, there were three sets of indentical twins in our chapter. Two were seniors and dressed exactly alike every single day! They got married a few years ago and one moved to Georgia. They had lived together their entire lives. The other two sets were in my pledge class. Both sets pledged as sophomores so they had been around for a year and knew where they wanted to pledge. I actually lived with one set when I was in med school, but separately. One lived with me for two years and the other for two years. They were amazingly different...though many people never could tell them apart!

was all of that written in Little Orphan Annie Lemon Juice? And then it turned purple??

I couldn't finish it. My brain just rejected itself again.

Wow. I remember when i was a senior a set of identical twins pledged our house. They were different I suppose but I never really got to know them.

When I was in school-- We had a pair of twins join our chapter. There were also a pair of twins at KD. Another pair of twins split-- one joined KD and the other was an Alpha Xi.

That's the funny thing about twins...or siblings in general. Some are super close and wouldn't think twice of not joining the same group. I think these twins are content with being associated with one another. Other twins have nothing in common other than blood. My little brother and sister are obviously not identical twins, but as fraternal twins you'd never be able to tell they grew up together. They never talk and aren't any closer to each other than they are to me and our older sister. The twins that don't want to be lumped together, I'm sure, do have to implicitely state their intentions. The general public would see them as a package deal because most people think that twins are just the same person like clones!

There are twins in my law school class that went to the same undergrad and both pledged DG - I'm pretty sure they still live together too.

There was a set of identical triplets when I was in college (I transferred in as a Junior and they were my year) that seemed to be the same way. I think they were TriDelts.

When i was a freshmen, we had a set of senior twins like that - same room, same major, same classes, same bunk bed on the porch (one on top, one on bottom, obviously!). To this day I don't know which is which.

did they each wear one delta? (sorry, i couldn't resist)

Hehehehehe

My thoughts exactly...

I had a set of twins last semester in my Rho Gamma group. One was a little more outgoing than the other so she had more of her preferred chapters come preference night. Shy decided to drop out after preference (she didn't see herself in her remaining options, and frankly, neither did I) and Outgoing suicided a chapter that was not on Shy's list. Outgoing ended up not receiving a bid, but I think it was for the best, because they are the type of twins that does everything together.

OMG. i Just spent the last hour reading that at work, I couldn't stop, ate my lunch at my desk. i am so ........ MAD!!! :mad::mad::mad::eek:

I tried to stay away from the recruitment threads, I guess because I never went through it, and went to a much smaller school with 5 orgs and it was much less competitive (I didn't even know anything about rec's until i started posting here) so, maybe i should stay away anyway lol

we have a set of twins go through recruitment almost every year at my small school with three sororities and for the last few years, they've always joined the same sorority.

Over the years we've had several sets of twins join our chapter. This past FR we got two fabulous twin sisters. They are not identical but still very close. They said that they refused to talk about recruitment to each other because they wanted to make their own decisions, and on bid day they were both very excited to find that they went the same chapter! Although these girls are very close, they are both very determined to lead their own lives, make their own decisions, etc. I think this is a special case, though, because other twins we've had have always been inseperable and didn't want to do anything without the other.

At UF this year, there were several sets of twins who went through recruitment. Of these sets, 3 of them requested to be in the same chapter. And I do mean requested. Panhellenic actually instructed the chapters to either invite back both or neither girls from a set of twins who desired to be in the same chapter.

Wow. Can panhellenic really do that? What ended up happening to those girls?

I know that others will disagree with me, but if that's what they truly wanted, I see nothing wrong with this.

Agreed. They know they're limiting their options, so they get to accept the consequences of that decision.

They don't know they're limiting their options, but they will get to accept the consequences.

I think it is better for the GLOs to know that they want to pledge as a duo - no sense wasting an invitation to one if she won't accept without her sister receiving one.

I agree. As long as the twins were willing to accept the consequences, I don't see a problem with it.


My chapter had several twins. If anyone read my retro story, the girl who said "hi lady" was an identical twin. I would have asked her if she remembered but I didn't know which one she was. Our chapter president my senior year also had pledged with her twin but the twin ended up transferring. Finally, we had a whole group of 5 sisters in my chapter; one set of twins (not identical) and their 3 sisters. They were amazing girls. I just loved them.

I just read the whole thing and am so freaking curious! I agree that it seems fantastical, but i want an ending:(

My girls pledged the same house. However...their # 2 choices were not the same and they would have had no problem going different ways if they had not received their # one choice.
They also cut houses independently of each other.
I personally wanted them to choose the same house, but I wanted them to make their own decisions ( of course) :).
It all worked out in the end, thank goodness.

So did they go with their legacy chapter...??? ;)

Unfortunately, no. They did both pref there however at different parties. I really tried to stay out of it, but I got my hopes up high when one girl called after the Zeta pref and told me how much she liked it and how beautiful it was, I thought she might go that way....I was just reading my Themis yesterday and thinking what if.....
They are both very happy with their choice and for that reason, so am I.

The chapter I advise for has twin sisters...I did a complete double take the first time I saw them - I don't know their rush story...now I want to find out the scoop!
