There are some sororities which are on both cousin 1 and 2's campus, but I gave each story a different set of code names to make it less confusing (I thought).
Cousin 1 and 2 are each other's cousins, not sisters (two of my aunts had daughters the same year). "Abby's" older sister's recruitment is not part of this thread.
Does that make it more clear?

[sigmagirl2000]

ooh. I'm more clear, but does this mean we get the possibility of "Abby"'s sister's recruitment story as well?!?

(I'm hoping for a Sig Kap happy ending somewhere in all this)

I hope you're typing!

I transferred my junior year, and I got along just as well with my new sisters as I did with the ones I left behind.

After talking a lot to her mother, her sister, her high school friends, and even her new friend at school who she went to high school with, Abby decided to seriously look into transferring. She applied to her sister’s school and kept in contact with the Brooke sisters from her sister’s school through facebook. By the week of initiation, Abby still hadn’t heard if she had been accepted or not. If she did initiate, she wasn’t sure if she’d be happy as a Brooke at her current campus. Of course, there was no guarantee that the Brooke chapter at this other school would allow her to transfer her membership (though her new Brooke friends from that school told her they thought she had a very good chance of being welcomed into their chapter).

Eventually, she made the choice to become an initiated member of Brooke. She felt a little better about the chapter, but still not completely at home. If she did not get accepted to her sister’s school, she wasn’t sure if she could be as devoted to Brooke that the chapter deserved so Abby started to look at other schools in her home state that had a Brooke chapter. There were a few where she had high school friends at and considered them a good back-up.

Finally, she got a letter from the other college. She’d been accepted! She booked another trip to visit the school and e-mailed the Brooke President before she even called her family to let them know she’d got in.

A few weeks later, she travelled to the other school and hung out with the Brooke sisters a lot. She met most of the chapter and even cheered on sisters in another sorority’s philanthropy event. Some of their new members showed her around the dorms and gave the pros and cons of each building. Overall, it was a great weekend. But she didn’t want to get her hopes-up after the let down she felt over Mackenzie.

Abby wrapped things-up at her old school. Her sorority sisters were sad to see her go (and probably a little mad that they wasted a bid on a girl who was just going to transfer anyways) but understood that she wasn’t happy at the school. Her big helped her pack-up her room and promised to keep in touch. The guy she went to high school was the hardest for her to leave (even though he lived about 5 minutes away from her at home). Would the new friends she made at her new school wake-up early and eat breakfast with her at 6:30 in the morning every day?

In January, Abby moved into her new school. She stopped by the Brooke house pretty much every day until the chapter meeting when they would vote her in or not. But the friends she had made in the chapter during her first visit were right, she had no problems being welcomed into the Brooke chapter.

Abby still talks to a few Brooks from her old chapter. Her big has kept in touch, just like she promised. She even mailed Abby a present for her birthday.

Oh, and that guy she went to high school with? He was her date to formal. She won’t admit they’re dating, but my Aunt says they’ve been hanging out a lot for two people who never even spoke to each other in high school.

It was a long route to get home, but Abby is finally happy to be a Brooke. Sometimes she thinks about Mackenzie, but maybe because her current school does not have a chapter of Mackenzie, it’s not that often. Or maybe it’s because Brooke has replaced Mackenzie as Abby’s idea of “THE GREATEST SORORITY EVER!”

So who is Brooke?

Abby is now sisters with her Aunt…









…her Aunt who is also as my mom…










DELTA ZETA!

[Sciencewoman]

Yay!

This made me look up the DZ creed, and wow, it is really beautiful! It is SO different from mine (Phi Mu), but I am really impressed by it!

Pirouette-out of curiosity what sororities are in your family? Your a SK and your mom is a DZ, what are the other ones? Are there any more "copies" (like how your cousin is a DZ like your mom)?

I'm the only greek in my family, so I kind of am envious of the families that have multiple generations of greek women.

Oh my...It's a longish list but here we go:
Me-Sigma Kappa
Sister-Alpha Delta Pi

Mom's side of the family:
Alpha Phi
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Pi Beta Phi

Dad's side of the family:
Alpha Delta Pi

The only other copies are with Delta Gamma and Alpha Delta Pi (which were legacies joining their legacy sorority).

My mother was one of five (all girls) and my father was one of six (three boys, three girls). My father's family all lives in a different state so I've never been very close to them. I think one of my uncles married a sorority women, but I'm not sure which sorority she's a member of.

I sensed that Schroeder was AXiD based on the "they were unsure how to pronounce one of the letters" comment. So funny. I was the same way as a new member trying to learn the alphabet. Congrats to your cousin!!!

Love this post! It's got me so excited to rush; my heart is pounding just thinking about it!

Ask and you shall receive!

Though my husband, son and I are visiting my in-laws this week so I might not be able to post it as quickly as the last one.

Next up- 2nd cousin’s story: A Dance Mom’s recruitment
