We have family letters, too. Ours are white shirts/sweat shirts with pink letters and green edging.

I don't know where the hell he thought CB insulted his chapter.

Where's Xylochick? Shes from Elon, right?
He sure is. I'm no SteveZissou, but I could out both of them already, I just don't know GreekChat's policy on it and would prefer not to be banned.

You have a pretty bad case of High-Horse-itis huh?

If you had nothing to add to the thread, then it's pretty much pointless to post a response.

Anyway, my family is "La Familia" and I'm in the subfamily of "High Maintenance." It's pretty common for orgs to have family names on my campus.

Which is of course way better than a terminal case of bottom-tier-itis.

Our chapter has families. Each family has secrets and their name means something. My family was bliss.
The other families were (I am going to try to remember them all but i'll probably forget):
Abba, 7DS, bomb, sbob, O, CB40, go gos

Funny, I thought the name of this thread was does your GLO have family names and what are they. Not are family names stupid and beneath you? Well since i'm responding to what I though this post was about I'll just say that my family is the diamond family. We also have a heart, star, and lucky family. They all have meanings behind them and traditions.

Co-sign.

My family is the Star Family. I began it when my big gave me a bag with letters in this cute blue star pattern. She transfered the next semester after I got her as my big and a lot of my family had branched out or graduated so I started a new one based on that. Also, the star is 5-pointed like the crown that's ZTA's symbol so it fit nicely. We have our own traditions that stay in the family and now we all use that fabric to make family letters (white background on a long-sleeved navy shirt) that you receive in your initiation basket. We also craft a lot of stuff for our littles with stars on it and in the shape of a star, along with other general ZTA stuff while they're NMs.

I'm here, I'm here.

Elon is definitely Southern Conference.

I believe the OP is a newer member of my chapter. Family names are fairly new at our chapter. Many don't trace back to the founders (the class before me).

lol yea there is its dark side / mafia

like i think our disney family is tied to your la familia somehow, but that would make perfect sense w/ TKE and Phi Mu on our campus.
