Big Families

[sceniczip]

we did away with families this year because of cliques or w/e. but before that my family had about 15 I think. It would be 18 this year if we still had families.

It depends. If you just consider actives in my branch, that would be 2, my grandlittle and great great grandlittle (though much to my dismay she identifies with another family after her big withdrew).

But since I can trace my family back to 1992, and we have a lot of branches, it's quite big if you count everybody. My great grandbig took twins, and both of her twins took twins. So, four main branches in recent history.

My Grandbig had several littles, but I only know two that I can count back from. My big & her twin. Her twin had two little ones, one had one little and the other had two. One of those two has at least one. My big had four, I had five, then my 1st had one, now my 2nd & 4th, have one each and my 5th has twins. The my 1st grandbaby took one as well. We took a really cute picture at revelation. It was 13 with just my big and my littles and theirs and so on. If you start adding in my siblings and my big's twins' littles it just gets out of control though.

My lineage has actually been "linear" since 1996-1997. I think we are actually the only lineage remaining that is still linear and I think that's special Our family has only ever taken one littler per big. My little deactivated (sadness, but she was closer with another circle of friends outside the sorority, never lived in the house, etc.), so my lineage actually got SMALLER! Of course I have an unofficial "pseudo-little," and a fake adopted little after her big who was two years older than she graduated, but they are auxiliary littles not really in my lineage.

After I graduated in May, only 2 members in my lineage remain at school. BUT, my little little little (great grandlittle) is awesome and I know she will get a really involved little to keep our family alive!

my family dates back a long time, although from what i'm told there wasn't "families" at the very beginning of the chapter.

As for size, when I was an active there were around 40 members, and only about 3 of them were from a different family. So that leaves around 35-37 that were in my family (Cheetah family). It got so big that people started breaking off and starting their own families.

I can trace mine back to my Bigx4.. it was liner from her down to my bigbig, then she took 4 littles including my big.. I'm a twin and taking a little this semester, so we're kind of insane. I can count 15 members in my family without having to ask an older sister for help
