Brag about your family tree.

[PhoenixAzul]

In this thread, we will brag about the accomplishments of our littles/bigs and the proliferation of our family trees.

My big is an amazing piano player and is probably going to become a concert pianist.

My little, while a smarmy pledge, is smart and knows her info.

I'm new to the board, but when I saw this I just had to respond! In my family tree my big 2nd was the president of the sorority. Also, she was the pledge mom of the new member class that my own pledge mom just so happened to be in! My Big to the 4th was the advisor of my chapter for a while, and my big to the 5th was an assistant advisor to my chapter. My lil is a legacy, her two older sisters and mother were in the sorority. I always get teased because I'm so pressed over my family tree but I can't help it, I love my girls!!

[KSUViolet06]

I'm part of the largest family in the chapter.

My Grandbig is awesome. She's served on Exec. for 3 years and lived in the chapter house the entire time. She's held Treasurer, Membership Recruitment Director, and is now serving as VP. To me, she is what a Sigma should be. Whenever I'm having any problems, she's right there for me, and I love her.

My big is also fantastic! She's on Exec now as our current Membership Recruitment Director. She's been there for me since day one in the chapter and I'm convinced that I wouldn't be the sister I am today without her to guide me. As MRD, she's completely revamped our informal recruitment strategy and we're now doing EXCELLENT in that area. Even though she has 2 other littles (my twin and triplet), she still makes time for ALL of us.

I don't have a little yet, but I'm hoping for one with our newest class. When I do get one I'm sure she'll be as awesome as the rest of my families.

My pledge grand father was the honor pledge of his pledge class.

My pledge dad graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering in only 4 years...w/o taking summer classes or having any college credit in HS.

I got 34 on both the ACT and the MCAT, and will be going to med school at either Nebraska or Kansas.

My pledge son also got a 34 on his ACT, gets his school paid for, and knows way more about computers than is probably safe. The kid also is invinceable when it comes to alcohol, as the BAC estimator cards the university gave us say he can have more than 18 drinks in a single hour before reaching "the red zone" (BAC of over .2)

My pledge grandson was named honor pledge of his pledge class in a nearly unaimous (sp?) decision by the chapter. He's also pre-med, and has a much better freshman GPA than I had. He is also going out with one of the coolest girls I've ever met (for a freshman).

In APO

My family tree is awesome:

My grandbig is a Chemical Engineer and works for a cosmetic company! Since I'm the only girl on my tree I love getting all the free makeup and hair dye he brings home!

My big graduated with a Computer Science Major. He now programs for a large investment company in NYC. While he was an undergrad he held the record of most service hours done as a member. His record still stands.

My little is two years older than me. He graduated as an Electrical Engineer. He works for J&J. He's in a rotating program so he gets to relocate to a new area every few months. Boy do I miss him when he's gone. But he always sends me postcards and stuff so that makes it easier. He's the best little I could ever ask for!

My grandlittle is the only one on my family who's still here with me. He's a bit crazy but we have an awesome time together.

In D Phi E

My big in a Mechanical Engineer who is in the Air Force. She works building war planes in OK. Looks like she may be put in the combat zone soon if the war continues, but she doesn't seem to mind. She's my hero.

My little is one smart cookie. She's going to graduate in 4 years with both a bachelor's and a masters! She puts me to shame in the acedimic dept, but I'm so proud of her.

My big sister, little sister #1, and myself all work in the space program. My big sister works with me at KSC in Orbiter Structures, and I work in Thermal Protection System (tile). Little sister #1 got a job in Houston at JSC working in Mission Control in the MMACS division (if something moves on the orbiter, they're in charge of it).

Little sister #2 is super smart and started taking college classes at the University of Texas (can't remember which campus) when she was 16. She's going to graduate with a double major in Marine Bio and Applied Mathematics in only 3 years.

We're the coolest part of the family tree.

I like this thread !!

Ok in general, my family has never had anyone disaffiliate from the chapter. Everyone in the family is is in good standing with the chapter, pays their dues on time, arrives on time for events, and does what they say they are going to do.
I also think my family tree is cool because my big sis was a transfer, so our tree goes back to another chapter, and we can trace our family tree all the way back to the founders of that chapter. The rest of our chapter can't really do that because of people leaving school, or the chapter, and poor records.

My big's second lil is now archon of our chapter as of Monday!

My lil is Sister Development Chair (what most orgs call VP New member ed, or something like that)


My lil Sis #2 is a fashion merchandising major, and is REALLY good, you all will WANT her clothing in a few years, and she is designing my sapphire ball dress this year.

for the past three years (since I won) a new member from my family always gets the new member of the year award.

My family has had 3 chapter presidents. We are small, but we all take on large positions and excel at them. My great grand sis graduated in 4 years with a biology major but decided to go into event planning and is currently the operations manager at her firm. My grand lil sis got a job in her field (PR/Coms) right out of college. Most of my family is still in school. My great great grand lil wants to study stem cells and cure Alzheimer's. My other great grand lil is a graphic designer who is VERY creative and sews, scrapbooks, and so forth. Totally the next Martha Stewart.

[LightBulb]

My great great big sis (an alumna) is an Alpha Sigma Tau National Staff member (and so sweet and generous). She is also a past president of the colony.

My great big sis has also been president. She is so fun! She is very trustworthy, has a big heart, and is great with animals.

My big sis is one of my best friends. She is a great person and friend and very insightful. She is a great listener, and very smart with science, math, money, and sewing.

My little sis is the current colony president. She has amazing organizational and leadership skills, and she is a great craft painter.

My great little sis is a real sweetheart. She is funloving and kindhearted and also very smart (she is on sophomore standing in biology while in her first year).

My family is all creative and artsy crafty (and big Beatles fans).

Great thread--

Okay, my little sister is AMAZING! She is such a cool person--teaches kidnergarteners in an at risk school and is so good at it. She is also someone that I am just lucky to have as a friend, let alone as my little sister

My grandlittle got a degree in envioremental science and is now in California, working with the redwood forest preservation. She is cool as hell and smarter than almost anyone I know

I was a political science major, so I think its funny that three of us could be so different but be so close, at the same time. I truly adore my family--they mean more to me than almost anything!

[LatinaAlumna]

My Big holds a high position in administration at a public university. My Lil is currently working on her doctorate. I'm very proud of each of them!

My family is the biggest in the chapter. My Big is the current President of the sorority. My Grandbig is the Vice-President. I was a former Foundation Chair. The founder of our family was a former Vice-President. My twin is the New Member Educator. My two other siblings are the Secretary and the Social Chair. The Panhellenic Delegate is also in my family. The Vice-President of Scholarship is in my family. Our Vice-President of Alumnae Relations is in my family. Come to think of it, of the 9 positions on our council, 7 are from my family tree alone!!! Those that have left the chapter are now doing well in their chosen paths. From being at Harvard for Med School (YAY!) to being a kindergarten teacher, these women sure have raised the bar for quality.
As for my lil, she's still new but is trying to find her way by helping everyone out & has lots of enthusiasm. I have high expectations for her.
I am graduating this May w/a Bachelors in English and another in Speech Communications. I hope to enter grad school this Fall for my Masters in English.

[SquirrelGirl]

We have family names, and mine is "The Dynasty", lol. We are the oldest family in our chapter and a pretty big one too. I am a legacy, and though I do not hold an office at the moment, I have big goals.

My Big is our current Personal Development officer and is doing things with it that have not been done in a long time....she is awesome. She is the "fireball" of the chapter and my absolute best friend! We spend 2-5 hours together most days.

My Grand-Big is not too active in the chapter this year, as her father has cancer and she just got engaged three weeks ago to a Kappa Sigma!

My GGB just graduated in December and got married in July. She is about to become a teacher. She was one of the best presidents we have ever had and served several EC offices.

I do not have a little yet, but I will have one next fall, along with a twin!

[Optimist Prime]

we all kick ass, that's pretty much all you need to know about it, but since bragging is allowed in this thread
my twin brother was IFC president
