How Panhellenic is your family?

[ufdale]

My aunts are: ADPi, Alpha Phi, AGD and Tri Sigma. (only ADPi is on my campus though)
My dad and uncles are KAs.
Of my generation, my cousin is a Sigma Kappa, but hopefully there will be more as they graduate! I'm trying to get my younger cousins interested in sororities, and I know they want to rush. There's a good chance that they would be SK too because there are a ton of SK chapters in Missouri (though the one at Mizzou is dormant ). Although I know if I had a daughter I would love her to be a Sigma Kappa, I'd rather she choose the sorority that is right for her.
Oh yeah and my bf is a FIJI!!!

*cough*St. Louis University*cough*

I have a few SK contacts in Missouri

[ufdale]

haha I said Mizzou because that because that's where most of my relatives go to college (or Rolla). My family is catholic, though, so you never know!

[Drolefille]

woot catholics.

[MUSK81]

^^What she said about Catholics!^^ Anyway, I'm the first in my immediate family to go Greek - my mom didn't go to college and her siblings' college didn't have a Greek system. Dad did not go Greek. As for my cousins, on my mom's side:

FIJI - 1
Beta Theta Pi - 3
Zeta Tau Alpha - 1

Dad's side:
Alpha Phi - 1

My husband's a Pi Kappa Alpha and my older son will be a Pike legacy at the same school in the fall.

I am the only NPC and SK.
3 younger sisters..
one doesn't want to go greek, no SK on her campus
second no greek chapters on campus
third not in college yet

SIL 1 didnt go greek in college
SIL 2 doesnt want to go greek, has SK at her school

no aunts, grandmas, moms in my family or husbands are greek

[UFsigmakappa]

My aunt was a Pi Beta Phi, my dad a Beta Phi Zeta...

I have three younger sisters:
18: Tri Delta (no SK on campus)
12: In middle school
9: In elementary school

Hoping to add some more SKs to the family with my cousins too!

Since I'm stuck waiting around school until I can move my car, I finally decided to add-up all the panhellenic members in my family.

Me: Sigma Kappa
Sister: Alpha Delta Pi
Mother: Delta Zeta

Mom's side of the family:
Great-grandmother: Delta Gamma
Grandmother: Delta Gamma
2 aunts: Delta Gamma
1 aunt: Chi Omega
1 aunt: Alpha Phi
3 cousins: Delta Gamma
1 cousin: Pi Beta Phi
1 cousin: Delta Delta Delta
5 more cousins still to go

Father's side:
2 great-grandmothers: Alpha Delta Pi
Grandmother: Alpha Delta Pi
3 Aunts: Alpha Delta Pi
7 cousins: Alpha Delta Pi

Mother-in-law (not technically related but my kids will be legacies through her): Sigma Delta Tau

[magnolias2013]

That I know of (we haven't really talked much about Greek life in my family):

One aunt is a Chi Omega, like myself
A cousin is Kappa Delta
I believe another cousin was/is Greek (though I don't know affiliation), and my grandmother did go through rush in the 1950s but dropped out for unknown reasons

[amIblue?]

Oh, what the heck.

Me: Kappa
Mom: Kappa Delta
Dad: Sigma Chi
Stepdad: Kappa Alpha

I only have brothers, one is KA; the other two were not greek.

Two of my brothers in law on my husband's side are KA. My father in law is KA.

Sisters in law are as follows: two Chi O's, a KD, a Theta, and a DG.

I think that's everyone. Looking forward to seeing how the next generation goes. My daughter currently has 15 cousins, so lots of opportunities for going greek!

I know this thread started several years ago, but I found it fascinating.

I'm an AXO
Husband Sigma Nu

Son- at a college with no Frats, but he plays a college sport which is sorta like a frat
DD- still in HS, but hoping to go Greek- One of her college requirements is a strong Greek system among other things.

My Dad: Kappa Sigma
My Cousin: Theta
SIL: Kappa
2 Nieces Sigma Kappa's

None of my siblings went Greek

[CougADPi]

Me: Alpha Delta Pi
Cousin: Alpha Gamma Delta
2 Cousins: Delta Zeta
Aunt: Alpha Phi
2 Great-Aunts: Alpha Phi

Grandpa: Kappa Sigma
2 Uncles: Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Husband: Kappa Kappa Psi
Cousin: mystery Fraternity (I lost touch with him awhile ago. All I know is that he went IFC at UWashington)

Didn't seem like much until I typed it out!

My cousin went through recruitment at my school this past fall and became a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma!

It's hard for me to imagine that many family members as Greek, since I be the only one in my family and only one in the extended family.

So going into recruitment you were a DZ, DG and ADPi legacy? Did you like any of your legacy houses? Did you ever feel pressured to go one of your legacy houses, especially ADPi since it seems like every female on your dad's side is ADPi?

This is completely fascinating to me!

[BetteDavisEyes]

I'm surprised I never responded to this thread though I don't have much to add. There aren't many Greeks in my family.

I'm a Sigma Kappa. I have an Alpha Phi cousin out of Utah and a cousin that's an AXO out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She prefed AXO and SK but went AXO. I also have an aunt that's a DZ.
