We have families in our chapter. We are pretty new (2001) so some of the founding sisters are twins or tripplets.
Each family has chosen a family name. Some of the families have like letter shirts, others do something else to identify the families.
It's really cool, each sister gets a smaller group of "special sisters" It's especially cool for the new members. It is really hard to get to know everyone well in the new member period. This makes the group a little more 'manageable' and begins the bonding experience.
I do see how this could get strange, especially if one family is exceptionally large (we have one family that is large because non of the sisters have graduated yet) or exceptionally active. But, thankfully we are doing just fine.
Currently there are 6 members in our family. My grand big, my big, my little, my grand big's new little, me and another sister who we have "adopted" since her big (along with her big's twin) graduated.
My family is so cool. I love this family thing.
