Who was at their kid's initation?
 
We didn't have a legacy go through the entire time I was in Phi Mu at my chapter -- but then again, I didn't pledge until junior year!

Just wondering -- who out there saw their kid (or family member... I remember a Sigma talking about her mom getting initiated) join the other side?

this was before i joined, but one of my chapter sisters was an inhouse legacy and her mother was at her initiation and gave her her pin at initiation to wear until she recieved her own

One of my sisters had her mom pin her. Her mom was the past president of our Omega Xi (U of Cinci) chapter. It was such a touching moment. :)

I was able to see several sets of brothers go through. It was pretty cool to witness. :)

We had a legacy whose mom, aunt, and grandma flew down from Washington to be at her initiation. It was really touching to see the generations of sigma kappa's represented

While again I have no children, there were several Brothers with Initiates.

One Brother had 2 brothers and two sons. Brother had 2 sons. One Brother had a brother and future son in law. One Brother had a father who is now our Advisor. So, now his son is his Brother! Brother from a different chapter had a son. One Brother had a Brother and will be at LXAAlums Rush this weekend!

Damn, I am getting confused!:o

At my initiation alone, there were two mothers pinning their daughters, one was an in house legacy, so her sister helped too, and then there was another girl who had her older sister come pin her. And on top of that, there were two more legacys in my pledge class whose mother and grandma couldn't make it, lol.

At the initiation for the pledge class below me, a girl's mom was supposed to be there, but she "got stuck in traffic" and wasn't going to make it in on time. The mom was in fact already in town and was seated behind her daughter so she wouldn't be seen. When the girl was being pinned, her mom snuck up behind her and surprised her! It was so sweet because the girl was just in tears she was so excited. The same year, another girl's sister came down from Mercer to pin her.

One of the women from my pledge class...Beta Lambda Fall 02...had her mother pin her...The whole room burst into tears just to see the special new bond they had created :)

Ok, dammit, my official story is that "I don't care which sororities my daughters join; I just want them to be happy" and I'm sticking to it.

....But, geez, I'd really, really love to pin at least one of them ;)

We have a triple legacy this year so I'm wondering if her mom, aunt, or grandma will come down for her initiation. I've seen an alumnae be there for her mother's initiation and it was absolutely beautiful!

OMG Tracy you are SO full of it! :D ROFL! I can't believe the above statement...that picture of your girls making the D and Z letters in their DZ shirts says it all (grin). I have told my DH that we aren't going to pay for college unless Gillian goes to a school where there is a DZ chapter to rush. (kidding!) :) Go DZ! :)

Sure, you're kidding, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! ;)

One of our PC '02 members had her mommy at Initiation - it was really cute... and one of our PC '01 members had both mom and grandma at initiation - I wasn't there, but heard it was great.

My mom is a DZ - I think she's happy that I just found a place I love so much, but I have noticed her looking wistfully at the DZ house when she's on campus!

One of my pledge sister's biological sister pinned her at initiation!
