Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[LOVEinZTA]

haha, I don't think my father even knows what rush was, I just called home on bid day and was like "guess what!" no one else in my family was ever involved in the Greek system at all though.

LOVEinZTa...I did the same thing too! I was just like, surprise! I'm a Greek! I am the first sorority woman in my family too.

When my Dad found out that I went DG, he started calling my letters "Triangle R" cause he didn't understand. LOL Oh, and sometimes he asks me "how are things going at Lambda, Lambda, Lambda?" (Think Revenge of the Nerds!) I love my Dad's sense of humor!

Surprisingly, my Dad was more supportive of my decision than my Mom was. Maybe because I am his little girl (I have two older sisters, I'm the baby).

But at any rate, yay for Dads and Rush!! LOL

haha, awww see my mom has gotten my letters down, but my dad will be reading something or see anything with the word "zeta" in it at all and be like "LOOK! it's your sorority!" and I'll have to say "no dad, that's a fraternity" or something similar.

Ha ha ha ha...gotta love it! My mom has my letters down...I think my dad does too (to a degree), he just likes to tease me! I just got him a "DG Dad" t-shirt so he can wear a "triangle and R" too! LOL

My daddy's aunts were in sororities, so he was somewhat used to the idea (no, we never did find out which GLOs - I'd love to know!). But he did tell anyone who would listen that I was majoring in ADPi, and minoring in the IFC!

My dad surprised me one day--we were driving past the Delta Sigma Phi house and they had a neon sign of their letters in the front window. At the time, I was in a local called Delta Kappa Phi--and he said to me that every time he drove past the Delta Sig house he thought about STEALING the neon sign, if only he could figure out how to change the Sigma into a Kappa!

I didn't know know whether to be disturbed or touched!

I didn't even know that he knew the name of my sorority, because we had never talked about it. In hindsight, what girl doesn't love it when her dad offers to steal something for her?? (Kidding, of course).

My brothers say that I am in "EK" or they will just go "eeeeeeeeekk!" Then of course, I explain that I am not in Epsilon Kappa, but SIGMA Kappa, and Sigma starts with S, so you could say SK, SigKap, or Sigma K.

My dad was the same. He even went so far as to argue with a jewerly company representative over the phone when he was buying me a ring for Christmas with my letters on it. He swore up and down that I was a Sigma Chi and wasn't about to let her tell him any different.
