I can remember during orientation at my mom's sorority booth introducing myself to each girl and saying my mom was the class of 83' and pledge in 79 and asking if they know so and so teacher on campus that was in it. I don't know why but it was awkward, it is like I was trying harder than they were and it was their sorority and the fact I knew of a alumna woman on campus and they didn't. I would hate to tell new members to not be outgoing but some people don't take it as serious as others so you have to be careful how you come off.
