Poppy (Mom's Dad)- Pi Kappa Alpha
Me- Phi Mu

My Poppy died when I was 4 or 5, so I have never had the opportunity to talk to anyone in my family who understands greeklife. It took like a year for my family to learn that it is pronounced Mu not Moo. Some of them I think will never learn. Its a U not an O.

My Grammy recently found my Poppy's paddle. It made me all mushy.

My dad is a TKE and then I have over 140,000 sisters who are Alpha Gams

Oooh...one up.

My cousin is a Kappa Kappa Gamma
Me-Alpha Phi and Beta Sigma Phi

I have a lot of extended family representing the Divine Nine. At the last Gray family reunion I attended in Atlanta, I saw Greek licence plates left and right (my extended family is huge and I do not know everyone). After all, my grandma is one of 12 kids

[ForeverRoses]

sister- Alpha Gamma Delta
Brother-in-law- Phi Delt
husband- Delta Sigma Pi (Business Frat- but at his campus they were as involved as the social frats)
me- Alpha Omicron Pi
my sister-in-law was Phi Beta Kappa (does that count?)

My son's godfather is a Phi Tau and he is already planning that my son will be too

I see some of you are like 2nd & 3rd generation members of your sorority, I think that's so cool.

That means thae those members have dedicated @ least 25 years of service to Alpha Kappa Alpha! See this website of the graduate chapter that supervises my undergraduate chapter: http://www.akaomicronomega.com/index-3.2.html

I think that it is sooo awesome that so many of our families represent so many groups!!! Yay for GREEK pride!!!

No apologies necessary. To me, at least, it's interesting because my family is so lacking in Greek alums.
