Twins

[KSUViolet06]

In my three recruitments as an active, I've only seen twins join the same chapter once. Every other set joined 2 different chapters.

The most recent set from last year, I distinctly remember that they were very adamant about not being viewed as a "matching set." Rush groups are assigned alphabetically by last name, so they would've been in the same one, but they insisted on being separated. They even went to 2 different high schools. They didn't room together on campus either.

Throughout rush, they would get mad if anyone happened to mention that they had a twin. I think they were just really focused on not being treated like a "package deal" which I can understand because I think people tend to treat identical twins that way sometimes.

They both preffed and joined different chapters and were very happy with that. I had one of them in class at the time, and I congratulated her on her bid, and she responded "OMG thanks, I'm just glad I ddn't end up in the same one as my sister or I would've gone nuts."

When I was in school-- We had a pair of twins join our chapter. There were also a pair of twins at KD. Another pair of twins split-- one joined KD and the other was an Alpha Xi.

That's the funny thing about twins...or siblings in general. Some are super close and wouldn't think twice of not joining the same group. I think these twins are content with being associated with one another. Other twins have nothing in common other than blood. My little brother and sister are obviously not identical twins, but as fraternal twins you'd never be able to tell they grew up together. They never talk and aren't any closer to each other than they are to me and our older sister. The twins that don't want to be lumped together, I'm sure, do have to implicitely state their intentions. The general public would see them as a package deal because most people think that twins are just the same person like clones!

There are twins in my law school class that went to the same undergrad and both pledged DG - I'm pretty sure they still live together too.
