it is neat to be able to share greek life with family members-we are not near as diverse as carnations family, but amongst our family members we have zta, adpi, pi phi, chi o, a chi o, phi mu and theta. for fraternities we have ato, pike, lambda chi, k a, pi kap, tke , sae and delta upsilon. it doesn't really matter that we are in different orgs., it is the fact that we are members of greek orgs.(and family) that connect us.

Yet!
I am just amazed by the number of GLOs some families have! Of course, I have a family which could have a family reunion in a linen closet...

we returned from family weekend a few hours ago and had to nap!! it was so good to see our daughter. while we had met her roommate(a terrific girl who, to my chagrin, did not rush) we had not met her parents, so the two families went to dinner friday night, what a lovely family they are!! we were so glad to get to know them and thoroughly enjoyed their company. we also got to meet some of the girls on her dorm floor, and a young man whom she thinks is pretty special! he seems to be, and his family was very nice too.
saturday morning we attended a huge cross country event held in a suburb of birmingham- a highschool teammate ( one of my daughters best friends) was running for her college-florida southern college and kathryn wanted to attend. it was sooooo hot, but it was great to see ali. kathryn admitted that she did miss competitive running a little bit.
after that we grabbed some lunch and stopped at a mall and ran into more samford boys and thieir parents-i had met the young men during orientation, and one of the moms. it was nice to see her again and meet her husband, as well as meet the other parents. everyone is so nice!!
the sorority was holding an impromptu open house before the football game, but we were not able to make it. we did run into her new member coordinator(pledge trainer) and two other seniors and had nice visit with them. they were so excited about their new pledge class and raved about our daughter.
the football game was a little anticlimatic-after all i am a florida state girl and we know how to put on a football game(even when the team is bad) and my husband is from oklahoma state, so seeing a small college team was sort of like watching one of our larger highschool's play. we did like the relaxed atmosphere and the fans were no less enthusiastic. it was fun.
we had to leave too early this morning to participate in any of the festivities planned for today-but our daughter is healthy, happy and that makes us happy too.

I love the idea of calling the legacy's sorority member. It's def a lot better than having to call with not-so-good news.
This past recruitment, my chapter pledged 2 legacies. One was the sis of a current member and the other's gmother, aunt and cousin are Alpha Gams. When the NM's gathered on the hall, I asked #2 if she had talked to her gmother and she said not yet...but she did the next day. Not sure if her relatives will be able to make Initiation since it will prob be on Friday evening.

This is a great thread! I was pulling for her (and you) to find her GLO home with your legacy. It sounds like she felt right at home. You could feel her "clicking" with the chapter as you read the thread...
And, the parents weekend sounded great too! What a great school. Is this also your alma mater?
