Not going to lie, I got goose bumps.

I know that many years ago, my chapter initiated one of the direct descendant’s of one of our founders. I can’t tell you off the top of my head, which founder.

I’ve always wondered how much more pressure you would feel to join an organization if you had a long line of family members in an org, especially a founder. Do you think you could have joined another GLO? I’m not sure I could.
Are you in Texas? Our Delta Chapter (our oldest) just initiated yet another descendant of a founder (Ella Pierce Turner), but I think it would be nigh on impossible to choose another GLO over such a long-standing legacy. But, as I said with the 5-generation legacy, not everyone is cut out to be in a sorority, and I have my doubts that someone should be forced into it.

Of course, if she went to a different GLO after 156 years, she should be written out of the will!
