I might have posted this before, but I know two girls from college who were from the same town (with only one HS), had gone to school together since kindergarten and had the same first, last and middle names. They grew up being "Nancy Pink" and "Nancy Blue", later one had short hair and the other long, so they were "Nancy long" and "Nancy short" and finally pledged different houses in college. I wonder how you know you got the right one? I guess by social security numbers back in the day before computer rush?!
My maiden name was also common, and there were at least 4 girls, including me, with the same first and last name when I was in college. Only one was greek, but she was in one of the sororities that I preffed. Luckily I got my first choice, but people would call and say...do I have the Kappa or the Gamma Phi?
The bad part of having a common name before the computer age...one was kind of slutty, one never paid her bills...so I always got LOTS of interesting phone calls!
