FSUZeta-
How wonderful that you can share your sorority with your daughter-a perfect ending for both of you! Please let us hear all about parents' weekend when you return. Congratulations on a daughter, now a sister!

This was such a great thread- thank you for sharing your daughter's story!! I loved the detail. Since there is so much (understandable) concern about not getting into too much detail on most threads, this was a great detail-fix! The idea that you are mother-daughter and sisters is just so great... reading this made me tear up a bit. I just hope my coworkers don't walk by and notice!

This definitely makes me want to have a family full of Greeks- so far I'm the only one, but it's a start!

it is neat to be able to share greek life with family members-we are not near as diverse as carnations family, but amongst our family members we have zta, adpi, pi phi, chi o, a chi o, phi mu and theta. for fraternities we have ato, pike, lambda chi, k a, pi kap, tke , sae and delta upsilon. it doesn't really matter that we are in different orgs., it is the fact that we are members of greek orgs.(and family) that connect us.

Yet!

I am just amazed by the number of GLOs some families have! Of course, I have a family which could have a family reunion in a linen closet...

I also come from a pretty solid Greek tradition.... and no one in my family is in the same organization.... Then again, my mom's sorority is not at my school ( even though my school has 11 panhellenic and about 4 multicultural). My aunts' and grandmother's are, but I am not in theirs.

I do have a little sister that is 9 and already is talking about going to my school and possibly joining my group. I have a strong feeling that she will decide to rush upon entering college. There are also my three younger brother's too, one of which is entering college next year and is looking at joining a fraternity.

I really do hope that i can share a similar story later in life!

I found out that my relatives were secretly hoping that I would join their organizations, but they were just as happy when I joined my own!

For all the members here, just remember that it is all about where your son/daughter/relative/friend feels most comfortable. My best friend is in a different sorority, one that I didn't really fit with during recruitment.

just a brief update on my daughter: tuesday her chapter held their big/lil sis reveal and she has twins!! one little is a freshman whom kathryn actually preffed and her other little is a sophomore whom she became good friends with last year. she is so excited to have twins!

over the summer we had fun shopping together preparing for kathryn to get 1 little and thought we were set. then more girls sign up for recruitment than last year, and quota is raised so some of kathryn's pledge class know they will be able to take 2. between the 2 of us we were able to match the original purchases and all is well!!

FSUZeta:

Congrats to your daughter. When we do big/lil matching we try very much to not have twons so everyone has their own big. The only time we allow twins is when it is the overwhelming first choice of the NM to have a certain member as her big. This says many wonderful things about your daughter both in the fact that she was so wanted as a big and that she was willing to take on twins! What a happy day for her ZTA family!
