I've posted about this on the XO board, so I'm just going to Copy/Paste. I'm so lazy!
My grandmother and aunt were Kappa Kappa Gammas and my great-grandmother was an Alpha Delta Pi. My mom pledged Kappa at Alabama, but flunked out before she got initiated
! There is no Kappa chapter here, so there was no pressure - but if there had been I probably would have been disowned if I hadn't pledged Kappa.
And FYI - my grandfather (and all of his brothers and his father) was a Kappa Sigma. If he were still alive he would be so proud that I was a XO. My great grandfather on my grandmother's side (and I think his father too) were Sigma Nus.
I have a question about that. My grandfather, the Kappa Sig, left that in his will, if I (since I'm the only female grandchild) pledged Chi Omega, that I should get his pin. I didn't know this because my family didn't want it to influence my choice. So, can I wear his pin? Or should I just keep it as a rememberance? Just wondering.
Well, that is my entire Greek history.
