Let's see:
Of the 7 kids who have gone to college so far, we have 2 AOIIs, 2 Chi Os, a Zeta, a Phi Mu, and a Sig Ep--plus one Lambda Chi son-in-law! And this Pi Phi mom is trying to figure out how to hypnotize her 4-month-old granddaughter to want to be a Pi Phi. 
Also represented in our family with uncles, aunts, and first cousins: AZD, AGD, AOII, DZ, KKG, Phi Mu, Zeta, Pike, Lambda Chi, Kappa Sig, and SAE!
We hope that the next rush will be in a year, when our second son begins university.

Offer to babysit - a lot. Sing her to sleep with "Ring Ching." When she gets older, take her to a Cookie Shine.

Haha, I'm trying to figure out how one could sing "Ring Ching" as a dreamy lullaby. I visited Colorado Gamma one time and they were shrieking out the chorus while slamming their forks on their glasses!
I could start her an angel collection too...plant wine carnations in my daughter's garden...sing the legacy song loudly while visiting...
Hey, it's my turn to have a legacy pledge my group! Her mom, an AOII, already had her turn when one of her younger sisters went AOII!

You can sing any sorority song as a lullaby. I remember singing the Kappa song Oh Pat to a colicky baby. I must have done a bad job though as she pledged Pi Phi instead of KKG.

No, you did great! We're glad to have her!
"Oh Pat" could be sung dreamily, though: "Kaaap-pa, Kaaap-pa, Kaaap-pa Gaaam-ma.." This other song is like "I BELONG TO THE PI BETA PHI! RING CHING!!!! (accompanied by stomps)

I'd be happy to teach you a few AOII songs to sing to her, that is if you can't find any Pi Phi songs that work!

Ladies, ladies, so much competition. Though if you want I know a couple of Psi U songs you can try.

I've never heard of "El Shaddai" so I can't help with that one, although I hopefully know the AOII version.

Carnation, if my mama could sing me to sleep as a baby to "Jambalaya", I'm sure you can find some Pi Phi song to sing to your grandbaby!

WOW. That's a lot of GLO there. Hmmm, here's an idea: at your next family get-together, have everyone wear their letters and do a HUGE group pic and post it here on GC. Probably a good idea but I would not want y'all's privacy to be jeopardized.
