As much as I love TCU and would be happy to send my kids there, I don't think it's likely. I don't plan on living in Texas my whole life and I know it's a tough school to fit into academically and socially. I would want my kids to go to a school where they feel they fit in and more importantly had excellent programs for the majors my children were interested in. It's not really important to me where my kids go so long as it is a good school.

It would mean so much more to me personally that my son share my Delt brotherhood. Even though I don't have any kids yet and no marriage in sight, I can only imagine how special it would be to share the experiences of Delta Tau Delta together and we could call each other brothers. As a current active going through the summer rush process, we have a few rushees who are double and even a triple legacy to DTD and I just think that is so amazing for that family to carry on such a tradition. It wouldn't matter what school he went to, but if they had a Delt chapter there I would strongly encourage him to check out that chapter for rush. Ultimately the decision would be 100% his as to what fraternity he joined, but I would let him know how much it would mean to me for him to be a Delt. But at the end of the day I want him to find a group of guys he fits in with like I did, and if it's not Delt than so be it....maybe my grandson can be a Delt.

Sigma Kappa, definitely. I enjoyed my time at UF, but I have always felt a much stronger connection to my sorority than to my alma mater.

Agree 100%. Personally I wouldn't want my kids to end up at FAU unless things change a lot between now and the time I have college-age kids. Not really much to do if you're not involved and even if you are its still kind of a lame place at times. I'd definitely like a Delt legacy though because my brothers have given me some of the best experiences of my young college life and I'd like my future children to experience that and share the experience of Delta Tau Delta with their old man.

Finally answering my own question...

I would choose Tri Delta. I've already indoctrinated my daughter enough by (almost) age 4 that she'll be a Spartan to some degree no matter where she ends up going to college.

But there are no women in any of my extended family on either side who are Greek and I would love to share Tri Delta with her. If not Tri Delta, just sharing the Greek experience would also be rewarding.

Wait...By Spartan, do you mean Michigan State? If so, hello to my Big Ten friend! I'm a PSU graduate!
