Which would you choose: school or GLO?

Blech...

I didn't go to Bama, but my entire family is Crimson Tide all the way. I don't know what I'll do if I have kids and they apply to Auburn or...Tennesee.

I'd prefer my son joining Sigma Chi over going to my alma mater.

Score one for the I-x1 family.

This engagement is such a win!

We surprised one of our newest members by inviting his brother to his first Ritual b/c his brother pledged at another school in Michigan. He was very excited.

I like you. :]

Alma Mater. My parents and sisters all attended my university and I love having that connection. It would be wonderful to be able to have the same connection with my kids. Of course, the husband would love for one of them to attend his Alma Mater as well, but unless we strike it rich, I don't know if we'll be able to afford his school by then!

Definitely GLO. I have issues with my school and the general campus culture. They are verrrrrry far down on my list of places I would donate if I suddenly became a bajillionaire. (Top 3: My chapter, Kappa Foundation, Sons of Norway)

Wow. I didn't realize you were a Michigan graduate. As a Penn State Alum, I promise not to hate you (lol). For some reason, everyone hates Michigan. I feel like I'm more inclined to hate Ohio State, even though I have tons of friends who went there. Either way, all the Big Ten schools are very good, education-wise.

I would love for my daughter (future and non-existent right now) to go to Penn State. I would be THRILLED if she joined my chapter, while there. If she went to another good school like Hopkins, Florida, FSU, or any of the other really great chapters we have out there, I'd be THRILLED to see her as a Phi Mu!

I'm not a Michigan grad -- I went to school in Texas.

Random comment: Apparently, Penn State's DFW Alumni meet at a bar near my apartment. I went there a year or 2 ago during the Michigan-Penn State game, not realizing they'd be there. Of course, I was wearing my Michigan attire. I walked in to ~100 upset Penn State fans who started booing when I arrived (all in good fun) lol

It's pretty much universal. There are a bunch of Big 10 grads in my class and we all booed the second year who said he had graduated from Michigan.

Just smoke? It'll be full out war in my household!

I don't really care if my kids go to Tuskegee or not. It is definitely not for everyone.

My son(s) will be able to choose what and if they become Greek. As long as they aren't a Cappa...please don't let them want to be Cappas lol.

Seriously though, I'm not paying for it if they don't want to be Alphas. I'll support their decision 100% though after a good question and answer session.

I'm going to do my best to make sure my kids don't know that UA exists...at least when it comes to football.

It's my kid, I'm paying for it regardless..... except Cappa. DEAR LORD DON'T LET MY SONS PLEDGE CAPPA.

Okay, my kids can go to U of M if they join SigEp. That's okay. I like their chapter. lol

But if Ohio State even crosses their minds, there will be flames. That would be an unforgivable sin.

I love my school and my Fisk Experience so I would love for my future children to attend.

But I also know the Fisk experience isn't the same as it used to be and I would not want my children going thinking they would have the same experience I had.

GLO? I don't care though I am very partial to them being in the NPHC. I would have questions if they went outside the NPHC.

BluPhire, I didn't think you joined a GLO. Did you? Yes, I would love to see my kids end up at the same place.

Yep I'm pretty low key on here in concerns to GLO's because it is more NPC, NIC convos than NPHC and since I went to an HBCU my experiences with those other orgs are next to nil (The Year after I graduated they finally had Alpha Phi Omega and Phi Mu Alpha back on campus, knew of them because our dorm director was a member of both and had his paraphernalia from those orgs in the display case). Only when I on went Vandy (Vanderbilt) campus that I had some sort of experience interacting with NIC/NPC. It's all new and intriguing to me.
