Hello fellow greeks, I've never posted before but have been a so-called "ghost" reader of the forum for a while now. I'm currently a sophomore Delta Tau Delta fraternity member at Texas Christian University (TCU) and we have a VERY strong Greek scene. I rushed under the assumption that no one in my family had ever been Greek other than my mom telling me she had to live in the Tri Sigma house's basement at Southeastern Missouri State Uni because regular dorm housing had filled up haha.
Well I found out that my grandfather was a Beta Theta Pi at Depauw several months ago but thought little of it. Well yesterday he came with my mom to meet me for lunch to pick me up from the fraternity house and nonchalantly told me "you know....my father and your great-grandfather was a Delt at Penn State."
He knew I had been a Delt for a while now and I just couldn't believe he had never told me! I know it may not seem like a grand deal but to me it's really special knowing I was a Delt legacy this whole time and I never knew it. I'm hoping to maybe try and see if I can do some research on my great grandfather and learn what I can of his fraternal experience. Leads me to believe some things really do happen for a reason!
I also had another friend here who joined Alpha Delta Pi and found out after becoming initiated her grandmother was also an ADPi and now wears her grandmother's pin to meetings. Anyone else ever have an experience like this?!
