Two years ago, we AI'd the mom of a then-collegiate Gamma Phi from UGA in the spring...then a few months later, her other daughter rushed at UGA and pledged Gamma Phi. I was the mom's sponsor -- she is now our Alum Chapter's VP - Programs! and on her AI form I described her as a "reverse legacy!" It was my own term but thought it fit the situation! We have another mom of a current collegiate Gamma Phi who is interested in AI -- another "reverse legacy" - Yay!
I was not a legacy -- my grandmother never went to college -- my mom went to college for maybe a year -- if that long -- and she said she went thru rush and had a bid from Kappa but decided not to accept it because she was going to leave college to get married. It was the early 50's and that's what many women did back then.
My much younger (24 years!!!) biological sister went to Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles and they did not have a Gamma Phi chapter. She pledged Theta.
I have two sons and one wants to attend the Air Force Academy in 7 years -- he just turned 11 and starts 6th grade in the Fall. Colorado is where Gamma Phi's Hqtrs is and our Theta and Tau and Beta Rho chapters are there, so maybe he will meet (and marry?!) a Gamma Phi Beta!!
My 9 year old wants to be a paleontologist -- not sure what university is best for that & if it will have a Gamma Phi chapter....
