This is such a great thread!

Maybe one of the other daughters yet to rush can wear the Black and Gold!

BB and BB Cousin

I will miss them so much. It seems like just yesterday we were watching them holding hands and running out on the quad in their bid day shirts. BB makes me laugh every time I see her. She was so funny at recruitment last year! They are the best sisters..

Thank you, aopinthesky! I still want to hear what on earth they did last fall that was so crazy. We're still hearing new stories from her high school teachers about things she did 4-5 years ago.

Lots of Pi Phi chapters up here and I would be happy to be a surrogate mom for her during the semester.

Oh, we'll definitely take any of the clan up here! Send 'em on up north!

Thank you, guys! She really should look around the country.

We've been told by some voice professors that she should have a good shot at a scholarship. (We think she sounds like a Disney Princess!) What we should do is go through any scholarship offers she may get and only restrict them to schools with Pi Phi chapters--no, no Carnation! Don't even go there!

But it's so tempting.

she was just fine with Valdosta or Georgia Southern, where most of her sisters went
But didn't one of those very sisters transfer to/graduate from UGA? What a marvelous state flagship you have...

You mean one related to Carnation? I didn't know there was one.

Yes, StarryNight (no recruitment thread on her)

Now--I just have to finish getting recs for my daughter who, for recruitment purposes, I will call StarryNight.

The 3 cousins and 2 friends will get names later!

StarryNight (the 5th one) will get to meet her future ZTA sister-in-law in 6 weeks at our oldest daughter's wedding!

Very cool!

I knew Carnation did a graduate degree there, but I didn't know that one of her children went there too.

Now that Pi Phi is expanding there, the Carnation nation will have all the more reason to visit campus. They might have a member for every chapter.

ETA: I think that the dress comment in the quotes is really funny. PNMs, if they are getting white dresses for pledging ceremonies, should really think about something timeless and as season-less as possible. It could really get a lot of use, and the panhellenic experience of that dress is particularly funny to me.

I believe the latest from StarryNight is that she is engaged to be married (there's a thread on that somewhere, in ChitChat or Dating and Relationships, I can't remember). I don't think she ever had a formal recruitment thread here.

Quick rundown (I'm pretty sure this is all correct):

Daughter #1, ASLFRose: AOII at Georgia Southern
Daughters #2 and #3, Ballerina and BlazerCheer: Chi-O at Valdosta State
Daughter #4, BabyBerry: AOII at Jacksonville State
Daughter #5, StarryNight: ZTA at Mississippi State
Daughter #6, SweetTea: Phi Mu at Valdosta State

I'm only listing daughters and not friends/cousins/etc because that would get out of hand! LOL

ETA: Just saw that this is only two pages back in the thread. Not quite as updated, but includes cousins/friends/adults in the family.

Quote:
fifties-cousins and aunts-DZ, KKG, AGD, AZD/Houston, Texas, UGa, Stetson
seventies-Carnation, Pi Phi, Auburn;cousins-Phi Mu and DZ/ Ole Miss,Ga. College
nineties-2 cousins-AOII, Birmingham Southern; cousin, ZTA, Samford
2000-ASLFRose, AOII, Georgia Southern
2002-Ballerina, Chi O, Valdosta
2003-Blazercheer, Chi O, Valdosta; UGaCousin, Phi Mu, UGA
2004-Baby Berry and Baby Berry Cousin, AOII, Jax State
2005-StarryNight, ZTA, Mississippi State, BerryCousins 2 and 3, AOII, Jax State
2007-recruitment for #6 daughter!
ETA2: Found it! Daughter #5's wedding thread is here: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=93464
