I come at this from a different side: I grew up in an area known for celebrities. My husband's father is in the business and it wouldn't be unusual for my husband (when he was a boy) to come home to find very famous sitting in the den.

You can't help it when people stare at you/ask you questions/treat you in a special way because of your famous family. (When one of my daughters was in middle school the daughter of a former AFL ...I think...quarterback came to school. Sure, she was treated like a superstar the first week, after that...not so much). There are pluses. When your sorority has a fundraiser perhaps memorbilia could be donated for a silent auction. If the connection is a ...department store...ANONYMOUS DONATIONS...for house or row fundraisers can be very welcomed.

As a friend of mine, who comes from a very well known family was always told, "To whom much is given...much is expected." Not an original to the family...but to be remembered.

You will find out soon who you click with, but until then, clear the air. People will whisper...don't let them. Be yourself and that will be it.
