Brag about your family tree.

[JupiterTC]

Since we're a new chapter, I'm at the top of my family tree . There are 80 girls in the founding class; 40 juniors/seniors and 40 sophomores. The juniors/seniors are at the top of the family tree, and the sophomores are our littles, and the current new members (the Alpha class) are our grand-littles.

That being said, my little videotapes all of the women's home basketball games. She is also Vice President of her Hillel chapter, and we have become great friends through Tri Delta.

My grand-little is also named Sam, so we call her Sam Jr. As a freshman, she is already heavily involved on campus. She's in College Republicans, Intervarsity, a Leadership Fellow, and was a band nerd in high school (just like me). She was drum major in high school and I was drum major at Elon for the past three years, so we have a lot in common.

I see great leadership potential from both my little and my grand little in our newly founded chapter.

My grand big was president of my chapter and panhel president and greek woman of the year.

My big was also president of my chapter (and an amazing one at that) and after she graduates this year she is going to do engineering work for the government!

My little is our panhel rep and president of her dorm. she wants to continue with leadership by possibly taking on a large panhel position or another chapter council position in the next few years.

I just got another little last night, but our revealings aren't till march, so i can't say much except she is awesome, too!

my family is small, but i love them so much! most people say we are the over achievers, haha.

My great great grand big was VP the year before I pledged, and the secatary the year that I pledged. My great grand big is still talked about today as one of the hardest, most feared NME around, and she was VP the year that I was a NM. My big is treasure, and my little is currently secatary.

My great grand big is still talked about often in our chapter, and she's now PREGNANT! And I mean HUGELY pregnant. I met her finally this summer at another baby shower for a recent alumn.

my family tree is the biggest in the sorority. I really need to meet the original branch, my refounding sister that I go back to.

[OleMissGlitter]

My grand big sis is VP of a bank in Nashville, TN and she was on TN's most successful under 40 list last year. My big sis went on to law school at LSU after she graduated from Ole Miss and she is married to an attorney and has two little boys! I have four little sis's. My first little sis was recruitment chair and then she went on to get her BA from Ole Miss and she is married to her college sweetheart with 3 children. My second little sister attends Loyola Law School in New Orleans and she is married as well and lives in NOLA. My third little sister is getting her Masters at UCF and she is doing great. My fourth little sister is back home working and she graduated last year from Ole Miss. My real little sister (like my sibling) is my grand-little and she is in France studying abroad. Another one of my grand-littles is married and working on becoming a Physical Therapist!

My family was known for being the President line of our chapter

My great grandbig was President of the chapter when I was a new member. My grandbig was Membership VP during that time too. I followed directly in the footsteps of my big (to much teasing from my sisters!). We both were Financial VP during our Junior year and President during our Senior year. My little was a legacy--and the biological sister of my great grandbig!

Right now, my big is the President of her alumnae association and an elementary school teacher, I am a national volunteer and also an elementary school teacher, and my little has since transferred and is a Junior business major at her new college!

When my awesome big sister graduated she appeared in several music videos (or, as she called herself, was a "video bimbo") then joined the touring company of the musical "A Chorus Line". She was then was "promoted" to the Broadway show where she was part of the cast when the show closed in 1990 (note: I don't think her joining the cast had anything to do with the show's demise).

She's married to a corporate-type dude now and they live outside of NYC where she owns a dance school and is raising four adorable legacies


My little sister went to Northwestern for law school after she graduated and now works in trusts and estates for some firm in Chicago. Also, she recently bought a condo on a place called Michigan Avenue which is apparently a really chi-chi area of town and claims that Oprah lives nearby (which may or may not be true) Either way, she's super career chick and I'm very proud of her!

My family tree is an elm tree. Gosh I love that tree.

OMG I would KILL to live on Michigan Ave. Swanky, indeed. But best of all are the awesome views of the city!

Michigan avenue is a large avenue that starts out in the poor ghetto where you don't want to live and it's nicest part is considered a big tourist spot.

A one bedroom on the "nicer" section of Michigan avenue in a "nicer" building costs around 200-250K.

Also, Oprah has a place on lakeshore, but she hardly stays in it. A studio in that same building starts at $850 rent a month.

Wow. I never knew Chicago real estate was so reasonable!

[TxAPhi]

My big sister went to medical school in Alabama and is a doctor in New York.

My little sister went to UT Law and is an ADA in San Antonio.

My big was the VP of Program Development, my little was VP Chapter Operations, and I was VP Recruitment.

[GammaIota1009]

My sister mother is at UGA Law and held several offices in our chapter.

I have two twins- One is at Pharmacy school and the other is going to Miss Georgia in June!

I have a neice- she has won three pageants this year! She is participating in a Miss Georgia Preliminary this weekend.

I have two sister daughters-
One has already been VP Programming for Panhellenic and now has my old office in Alpha Gam- VP Campus Relations.

My other baby squirrel has done pageants and is the new Personal Development Coordinator. She wants to work for the FBI when she graduates.

I love my family!

My big is a founder of our chapter. She works for a non-profit in Washington, DC.

My first little is incredible. She transferred to UGA after one semester, but we were really close that semester. We don't get to talk/see each other a lot, but I love her lots. She's majoring in interoir design/fashion.

My second little is a sophomore still. She's a lot of fun to party with, and I think she still hasn't chosen a major She's a lot like me, but quieter, and she started off as my carnation sister and mystagee.

My "aunt" (Big's twin) is in Ohio now. We have lots of fun having random IM conversations and really bonded over a guy she was dating whom we now think is gay.

My "cousin" is one of my good friends who was the director on the campus news show of which I was the producer. She now lives the glamorous life in London, doing odd jobs but having the time of her life. She used to live in Hershey, PA She could smell the chocolate factory from her school.

Her two littles are great. One was my college roommate for 3 years and now is getting her Master's in theology from St. Andrew's in Scotland. Her little and grandlittle I don't know too well. The other is a senior and is a lot of fun. I don't know her that well, though

We have one of the biggest family trees in our chapter because both of the sisters at the top were sophomores when we founded and had at least one little. My family is great

Its a tradition in my family that bigs and little match up one-and-one in big/little ranking. We decide bigs and littles from ranking lists, much like formal recruitment. Also, I broke the series of blondes in family tree and started a brunette branch!

My big big big was the reason I joined my sorority - she got me during recruitment! She works with little ones in a nursey school right now.

My big was the warmest sister - I decided I wanted her to be my big at our first mixer, the night after Bid Night. She had the biggest smile, and luckily for this world, she became a nurse!

My twin came into the family the semester after me and she was also a nursing student. She works in a hospital in Tampa Bay right now. She lived right next door to me the semester she rushed and joined and I loved her to pieces - she was like a mom to whomever needed some support! Florida was lucky to have her in their hospitals after their hurricanes - she gave her time to rescue reliefs and stayed in a hotel and hospital while structual repairs were made to her home.

I have two littles - and we matched up one-and-one both times. I 'dirty littled' both of them - they were popular choices for littles in my chapter and I wanted both in my family tree. Karen was my roommate my senior year and Shaunna (another blonde!) became our chapter's President this last year. Karen had been our Member-at-Large. Both littles are different people - but both make time for people who need help and an ear to listen. I have two little littles and 1 little little little - and I haven't met any of them! My job has been crazy this last year though I'm putting more limits on how much time I give it. So I'll visit in April and reconnect with a few alums from my chapter (who I can't wait to see!) and meet these little littles and probably spoil them all.

Not that it really matters, but our family mascot is the butterfly!
