Greek Families
I looked for a post about this, but I couldn't find one. I thought it'd be interesting to hear about everyone's greek families?
Within my house, we have several different families...I'm a member of the MC family. :) Within our greek community, I'm part of a HUGE greek family that spans about six-seven different houses...maybe more. I have 2 littles, one who has a pledge dad, a panhel daughter, and a pledge son. And TONS of "extended" greek family. |
I have never heard of anything like this, but i would love to hear more
|
My grandpa was a Fiji, my uncle was a Pike, and Im a Phi Delt lol
|
My Greek Family is a bit small, just my house and one other (directly). Indirectly though it spans all the houses, but that is by dynamics like second cousins and uncles of uncles. It gets pretty crazy. I've been trying to get my big to get a girl little though, so I can have more direct family.

Just wondering. |
Wow I didnt even read what you wrote, just the title and thought you meant greeks in your ACTUAL family..:o

I originally read it like 1stPhiDeltaAlpha did. I'd like to learn more about this as well. I get the families within chapters; that goes back forever, although the naming convention of daughter, mother, grandmother, aunt etc. has been change to little and big. But cross chapters? That's new. I wonder if that serves to foster Greek unity on campus and what purpose it serves.

I was talking with a collegiate brother in my chapter recently, and he asked about my big brother and about family. He seemed a little surprised when I said we didn't do families then. This cross-chapter family thing sounds like it must be related to the idea of fraternity members having little sisters and sorority members having little brothers. |

Which, connects me to the entire family within Fiji...and then whatever other pledge moms...it's just for fun. I thought everyone did that...? These families really do increase panhellenic sensabilities...they are just a fun thing--but it connects me to Alpha Chis, Alpha Phis, Delta Gammas, AGDs, Thetas, Fijis and Betas...which is cool...and just for fun. |

These "connections" may seem like fun to you, but they can bring about issues with, among other things, risk management and our status as single-sex organizations. |

It is an interesting idea and could really foster panhellenic relations. I would really worry about the big and little with fraternities. I realize someone brought this up earlier, but I would be concerned with how this differed from the little sister relationships that were banned by NPC. |
