My daughter isn't even born yet & Mike casually mentioned to me the other day if I was planning on bringing up joining a sorority (specifically Sigma Kappa) to our little girl. I just stared at him before laughing and telling him to ask me again when she graduates high school & goes to college in 17-18 years.

You could try the subliminal approach that I tried. Up until age 1, all of her lullabies were Alpha Gam songs. I figured then, if she heard them during recruitment, she would get a warm, fuzzy feeling and feel "at home" there. We may not be able to find out if it worked though.

i did the same thing-not to indoctrinate her with zeta songs so that she would subliminally think "mama" when she heard a zeta song, but because often at 2 a.m. those were the only songs i could recall!! i also sang them to my son. sweet memories.

That was part of it too, honestly.

If you stay active in Sigma Kappa, she'll probably get the message without you having to explicitly say it.

Well, she'll get her first taste next summer when we travel to Convention. Mike is going with me to watch her while I do the mtgs & events & we're staying a few additional days afterwards. Lol! If you go, you'll get to meet her.

I LOVE the idea of singing her Sigma Kappa songs as lullabies. I'm already humming a few of them.
