I'm actually the first greek in my family! But I hope to bring about some Delta Gamma legacies

My mama is a Zeta Tau Alpha and my daddy is an Alpha Tau Omega.
I'm a Kappa Alpha Theta!

my younger sister (she is going into her junior year of high school) cannot wait to join a house and continue the tradition my parents started.

This site motivated me to check my own family connections' Greek affiliations, and the result astounded me! It now represents three generations of siblings, cousins etc., with a fourth generation about to come along.

All totaled, 24 people joined 18 different fraternities and sororities at 15 different institutions...ranging from Williams and Yale in the east, through a bunch in Middle America, to U. Texas in the southwest. So much for loyalty or tradition!

The sororities are Delta Zeta, Kappa Alpha Theta, 2 Kappa Deltas, Kappa Kappa Gamma, 3 Pi Beta Phis & a Zeta Tau Alpha.

The fraternities are Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Theta Pi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Upsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Sigma, 2 Pi Kappa Alphas, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 3 Sigma Chis & a Zeta Psi.

We just might start our own Panhel or IFC.
