Oh dear sister, you might enjoy this thread, even if it was a work of pure fiction.

WOW

That was unreal. Well, then I guess it was.

was all of that written in Little Orphan Annie Lemon Juice? And then it turned purple??

I couldn't finish it. My brain just rejected itself again.

Wow. I remember when i was a senior a set of identical twins pledged our house. They were different I suppose but I never really got to know them.

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.

OMG. i Just spent the last hour reading that at work, I couldn't stop, ate my lunch at my desk. i am so ........ MAD!!!

I tried to stay away from the recruitment threads, I guess because I never went through it, and went to a much smaller school with 5 orgs and it was much less competitive (I didn't even know anything about rec's until i started posting here) so, maybe i should stay away anyway lol

I just read the whole thing and am so freaking curious! I agree that it seems fantastical, but i want an ending

My girls pledged the same house. However...their # 2 choices were not the same and they would have had no problem going different ways if they had not received their # one choice.
They also cut houses independently of each other.
I personally wanted them to choose the same house, but I wanted them to make their own decisions ( of course) .
It all worked out in the end, thank goodness.
