Ha ha. I've seen guys who take family lines far more seriously than girls do. I'm really starting to think it is a Northern thing (for guys and girls).

Yeah, whether it's a Northern thing or not, I don't know, but I'd never heard of keeping track of "lineages" until GC.

It might be a small school thing?
The school I'm doing grad school at makes a big deal about it and even the guys talk about "grand big brothers" or whatever.
I don't get it. Maybe cuz it is a small school.
I mean I know my big, grand big, grand grand big, and so down the chain from me, but I don't really hang out with them other than my big brother and my little brother. I don't know.

It doesn't mean you have to hang out with them all the time, it's just a matter of knowing it.

I wonder, too, if there's a generation aspect. Back in the day, we had bigs and we had littles. I'd never heard anyone from any org refer to "grandbigs" or "grandlittles" or the like until GreekChat. We just didn't think about it that way. At least, that was my experience.

I think you're on to something. The older women in my alum chapter who have been AOIIs up to 60 years didn't keep up with anything other than their big and little sisters.

We definitely had 2bigs, 3bigs, etc which is the same thing.

Hmmm. Then maybe some combination of generational/regional and other factors?
