What is your family name?

My organization has a tradition that every family has a family name. I was just wondering what other people's family names are (sororities AND fraternities)!

Mine is the sheep family (in honor of the family's "black sheep," she was so different from everyone else in the family, but we love her anyway!)

Co-sign. My letters are quite enough for me, thank you.

You have a pretty bad case of High-Horse-itis huh?

If you had nothing to add to the thread, then it's pretty much pointless to post a response.

Anyway, my family is "La Familia" and I'm in the subfamily of "High Maintenance." It's pretty common for orgs to have family names on my campus.

Which is of course way better than a terminal case of bottom-tier-itis.

How funny the boyfriend deleted his posts proclaiming his Elon fraternity chapter's accomplishments.

Well I'll go ahead and chime in that I've never heard of a decent (not even good, just decent) fraternity chapter in the SEC who had family names.

We did not have family names in ASA or APO. We all bought the same shirt or sweatshirt for our littles, but that was it.

kvitne: credit for being a fast learner, dude.

We have family letters, too. Ours are white shirts/sweat shirts with pink letters and green edging.
