It wouldn't really mean more to me either way, so my answer stands.

Alma mater - I, my parents, siblings, and my girls' father all went to the same school. My eldest daughter is there now - there is something really great about having a third generation at the same school. She has the same fencing coach I had - has had several philosophy professors I had. I took a music class from the man who was instrumental in getting my father into the San Antonio opera, and who has a memorial plaque at Grin's restaurant. It's a nice connection.

Which would mean more to me? To share an alma mater. There are some schools where her sorority experience (not just in my sorority, but in any sorority) would be so many light-years from what I experienced that the "sharing" concept would be pointless.

Good point, that didn't occur to me but that's so true.

That's kind of a tricky question because they only way I would pick to share my GLO over my school with them is if they were at my GLO at my school.
Frankly, I don't care for others within national headquarters. I like mine and they're my brothers.

I would have to go with sharing my fraternity. Sharing an alma mater would be fun (I went to my mother's alma mater), but I don't think anything could beat being present at my son's initiation . . . and I would be there.
But I think it's very unlikely, and that's okay too.

Neither. I don't really care about legacy stuff when it comes to school or Delta. It's just disinteresting to me.
I had to edit my post because I realized that this thread is about school or GLO legacies and not what I thought it was about.

Since I don't have any children I'll think of this as my youngest sister (who just turned 13). I would love love love for her to go to my school and become a Tri Delta.
But I want her to be happy so whatever she chooses I'll be happy. She already says that shes "only going to look at schools with tri delta" and I've been trying really hard to stop her thinking that way. I try to explain to her that one of my best friends is in another sorority so hopefully that got her thinking. I mean school is five years away for her but still.
I don't really want her to go to this school because it doesn't have what shes interested in which is non profit managment.

I am a Son of Georgetown. My children will be Sons and Daughters of Georgetown.
Where and how they go Greek is up to them. I wouldn't be sad if my sons became Ques, Sigmas, NIC fraternity members, or even most multicultural or LGLOs.
But if my son comes home in red and white, there will be smoke in the city.
So obviously, my school legacy is far more important.

It's the same in my house.  Honestly, I feel the same way about certain multicultural and mlatinacultural orgs.

Were they also involved in any of the theatre programs?
