Wow. I mean it IS their perogative, but this is just weird to me. It also goes somewhat against the concept of mutual selection. I mean, how would this work with prefs and bid matching? They can't be ranked together as ONE person on sororities' bid lists, so one would theoretically have to end up above or below the other. What would happen if one of them received a bid to their #1 choice and the other to #2?

I think it is better for the GLOs to know that they want to pledge as a duo - no sense wasting an invitation to one if she won't accept without her sister receiving one.

I agree. As long as the twins were willing to accept the consequences, I don't see a problem with it.

My chapter had several twins. If anyone read my retro story, the girl who said "hi lady" was an identical twin. I would have asked her if she remembered but I didn't know which one she was. Our chapter president my senior year also had pledged with her twin but the twin ended up transferring. Finally, we had a whole group of 5 sisters in my chapter; one set of twins (not identical) and their 3 sisters. They were amazing girls. I just loved them.
