Wild Things
Jurassic
Monkeys
Princess Fiona (a combination of what was the Princess and the Ogre families)
Rockstars

A lot have branches in them too because girls take twins for littles. Such as:
Monroes- Kennedy and Dean (the two myth loves)
Barbies: Platinum and Brunette
Monkey: Joe (like Average Joe) and Perfect
etc

Only two of our families have names.

The largest (which I am in) is Blue Steel. Our colors are Navy Silver Navy.
The second largest is A-maize-ing Blue. Their colors are Royal, Maize, Royal.

The other families are either referred to by their colors or whoever is the eldest. The colors are:

Gray Black Navy
Black Gold Black
Red White Blue
Black Silver Navy
Gray Blue Red

Those colors are in order of the way they are on the hoodie. The first is the hoodie color, followed by the outline, followed by the block color.

In our chapter, all of our family names are preceded by the word "Alpha" =)
I'm part of the Alpha Pearl line, which contains some of the classiest girls in the chapter, if I do say so myself

For our giant family we smooshed all of our last names together and took out letters and put some in and it ended up with our "Last Name" as "Brenssoerwicz".
I thought it was original. We even put it up on facebook as our name.

Ours were all animal names, except for my family (which was the biggest in the house when I graduated!) We had Monkey, Tigers, Ladybugs, Penguins, and us, The Bud Family (aka Budweiser) We WERE still an animal family though. My grand big came up with the name because she was obsessed with those Budweiser commercials with the frogs and iguanas.

We're known as "the best". Everyone else is known as "not as good as us."
