greeks in the family
 

Please forgive me if there is a thread on this already, but I couldn't find anything that I was looking for in the gazillion threads that came up when I searched under "family."

My little brother, who will enter the UM-Rolla this fall, just signed a bid card for Kappa Alpha Order.

He and I are the first greeks in our families, alongside cousins who are a Sigma Pi at UKy and a Theta Xi at Georgia Tech.

It's just kinda neat!

There's a thread that asks where everyone is a legacy at. Everyone listed all the greeks in their family.
Mine: (keeps on growing as I find out more people who were greek)

Grandpa: AEPi
Uncle: AEPi
Uncle: Kappa Alpha
Aunt: AEPhi
Aunt: DPhiE
Cousin: Kappa Delta

I think there's more but I haven't researched enough. :)

You can find more threads under "legacy"

Here's couple of them,

Good luck ;)

Family Greeks
 

Me: Pi Beta Phi

Dad: Delta Upsilon

hey my sister and i are the first greeks in my family too...she is a kappa alpha theta, and i'm a phi kappa psi.

Me: Sigma Nu
Youngest Brother: ATO
Father: Phi Kappa Sigma
Mother: Gamma Phi Beta
Maternal Grandfather: Sigma Epsilon (I'm not 100% sure on that)
Paternal (step)grandfather: Beta Theta Pi
Cousin: Fiji

I am the first person in my family to join a GLO. No one else in my family has gone to a school with a greek system... so I got to be the pioneer. Well, my hypothetical future daughter gets to be an AEPhi legacy... :)

I'm the only Greek in my immediate family as far as extended family both of my mom's sisters were greek (Tri Sigma and ADPI) My dad's cousin was an ADPI and my uncle was a Kappa Sig. I found that out today.

I have a Cousin that is a member of a fraternity at Valdosta State but I am not sure which one , I think it was Delta Chi?? I am a member of Alpha gamma Delta but I dont think there is anyone else to my knowledge.

My sister will be an Alpha Gam legacy though!!!! YEAH!!

My aunt was an AZD at Nebraska and the only Greek connection I currently have.
I being the oldest of the grandkids have set a precedent. My twin cousins who are now in fourth grade now want to follow their legacy in AZD at Nebraska after coming to my initiation banquet and then touring their mother's old house. My little brother will also probably rush now too (I'm gonna make him rush no matter where he goes ;)) and if he ends up following me to Nebraska, my Mom is going to make him be a Beta!

I am also the first Greek in my family. I think that it's pretty cool. My great Grandfather belonged to a secret society but that's the extent.

Me: Lambda Chi
Brother in law: Lambda Chi (happend after I rushed tho)
Sister: Chi Omega
Dad: Sigma Chi
Uncle (dads brother): Alpha Tau Omega
Mom: Alpha Delta Pi
Uncle (moms brother) Alpha Tau Omega
Grandmother: Chi Omega
Grandfather: Kappa Alpha Order

my Chi O' grandmother was so pissed that I didnt rush a legacy org (KA, ATO, or EX) that she wouldnt talk to me for 3 weks after I went LCA. She thought it was disrespectful. lol. She got over it tho

first girl who's gone greek in the family.. though my older brother is now considering rushing a fraternity on campus.. he saw how great it was for me and now hes interested.. its like they say, once you go greek you'll never go back.. :)

I am the only Greek in my family. My little sister rushed (at the time there was only one national on her campus alongside two locals, so it was informal rush) a national sorority and was not given a bid. Apparently a couple of nationals colonized her senior year and if I had known I would have made her rush ;) but I didn't find out until later.

None of my aunts, uncles, cousins, anybody was Greek. I'm not likely to have kids, either, so no legacies. :(

I am a direct legacy for KKG!! My sister was a charter member of her chapter at Georgia Southern and 10 years later when I went through recruitment--I pledged Kappa! It has been an honor to share the bonds of Kappa with my real sister!
