I don't think it's stupid at all.
I'm from a medium-small town and I go to school about 25 miles from where I grew up. My mom and her mom and her mom etc. all went to my high school and we actually HAVE high school sororities (Tri-Hi-Ys...HS service sororities). I was actually in the same one that my mom and the rest of my family were in. It isn't hardcore legacy or anything like that but it's cool to do it together. At ODU, we're a mostly commuter school but we have a pretty strong Greek Life. There are a lot of students who go here from my hometown that simply go to class and then go home. The ones that choose to become active do it largely through the Greek Community. A majority of the girls that went to my HS that chose to enter into Greek Life are in my chapter and I see nothing wrong with it. We were all very close friends and cheered together and were active in HS before we came to college and now we have a bond that will keep us not only friends, but sisters forever. We HAVE grown and changed and we've actually become closer; we are, however, still the same in the sense that we're all extremely active in college as well. We didn't join the same sorority because we HAD to be together. It's just where our hearts belonged, and our hearts are all in the same place.
