Just out of curiosity, how often do twins split up among two different houses?

I go to a school with a relatively small rush (like 120ish PNMs max), and every year I was active, a set of twins went through. Out of all 3 years, only one set pledged the same house. The other sets pledged different ones.

We had two sets of twins (that I know of) when I was undergrad.

Both girls of one set were ChiO's (as well as both in marching band - one drumline, the other colorguard), and the other set were ASAs. Speaking of, one of the girls from our set of twins had a baby girl this week.

When I was an undergrad, I noticed that the twins who went through recruitment would tend to go to different houses. We pledged a girl one year whose twin went KD. It's interesting because I've noticed that sisters will tend to go to the same house though. The younger sister would almost always pledge the chapter that her older sister is a member of (this is if they go to the same school). There was a girl in my PX group that pledged her sister's house even though she knew she'd fit in better somewhere else.

Until last year, I NEVER heard of twins who were split between two houses! I know of a set when only one twin pledged, and the other dropped, but never split up.

Thinking back...most of the sets of fraternal twins I've known have pledged different groups and most of the identical sets have pledged the same groups.

There are actually 870 PNMs signed up for sorority recruitment....

A few years ago there was a set of twins and both went DG. Then another set came through and one went Chi O and one went Tri Delta. There were triplets in Pi Phi when I was a freshman back in the day. There were twins in AOII when I was a freshman too. It's always fun to see where the twins end up!

Quota was 84 and AOII got 89. Everyone made quota and did very well!

I don't know where the twins pledged....I think there were at least 2 or 3 sets this year!
