Ma'am, if it is not too much of an inconvienance, can you post your wonderful family's large Greek affliliation, both male and female? kinda like a total so far as of 2009?

Example: 2 Chi Omegas, 1 SigEp, etc etc.

Thanks and we look forward to the next Carnation Nation Recruitment Story.

I would love to see this too!!!

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.

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.

hurray for the carnation nation!!! it is always great to hear your family's stories. thanks for sharing.

[Psi U MC Vito]

Wow you have a very Greek family, diverse as well.

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.

[carnation]

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)

[angelove]

I might have been thinking of "Take a little golden arrow" instead, which has those words in it. "Mary Margaret Truman" might even work under the right circumstances.

Congrats Carnation!!! (and congrats to tall son!)

[Jill1228]

Congrats to your son and Sig Ep!

i will have to give you a call and compare tunes!

the texas zeta house was the only zeta house in the nation where men(secret service) were allowed to live during lynda's time there.

oh darn, that would have made a good "sorority trivia" question!

I am happy to say that last night, Tall Son was initiated into Sigma Phi Epsilon! We are so proud of him.

Congratulations, Tall Son. As usual, best wishes to the entire carnation nation, too.
