Did your HS friend go Greek?

[LoggerTheta]

Girls:
Alpha Xi Delta-2
Alpha Phi-2
Chi Omega-1
Delta Delta Delta-2
Kappa Alpha Theta-Me

Guys:
Kappa Sigma-1
Tau Kappa Epsilon-1
Phi Delta Theta-1
Alpha Gamma Omega-1

I was a band geek in high school, and it's not very common for members of that group to go greek. I'm sure that I know many more people (that weren't necessarily my friends) from my high school that are in houses though.

[AlphaSigOU]

Not very many out of the people I knew in high school went Greek in college:

Delta Delta Delta -1
Phi Sigma Sigma - 1
Kappa Alpha Theta -1
Chi Phi - 1
Sigma Pi - 1
Alpha Sigma Phi - 1 (me)

I was wrong as to none.. I just remembered that one did go with ZBT, although I think it was only a semester until he flunked out. This was not one of their model chapters at the time.

[WCUgirl]

Alpha Xi Delta - 2 (one was my best friend!)
Kappa Delta - 2 (one was my other best friend!)
Zeta Tau Alpha - 2
Phi Mu -2
Kappa Kappa Gamma - 2
Alpha Chi Omega - 2
Sigma Chi - 2
Kappa Sigma - 1
Pi Kappa Phi - 2

And that's all I can remember, but I know there were more.

[Rain Man]

All my high school senior class officers went greek:

President & Valedictorian: Alpha Phi, Ashland University
V.P. & Salutatorian: Alpha Delta Phi, MIT
Secretary: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Wilberforce University
Treasurer: Delta Sigma Theta, Denison University

I had a friend two classes behind me join Kappa Alpha Psi at Wittenburg University and a friend two classes ahead of me (and the first boyfriend of the above class secretary join Alpha Phi Alpha (I don't know what university--though I want to say OSU, but I doubt it).

Unfortunately, not too many of my HS friends went greek, as most of them got married and started family life immediately after high school.

[MSKKG]

Out of my graduating class of 52, here are the ones I know:

KKG--4
KD--3
Tri-Delta--1
DG--1
ZTA--1

Sigma Chi--2

Wow!

The only one I know for certain is one girl who went DZ at UTA. And I am almost sure that a guy (a year below me) went Delta Upsilon at UTA.

I'm sure there are quite a few, but I have no idea!

From what I can gather, I'm literally the ONLY Greek in my entire graduating class (of 365 students). I even checked classmates.com to see if anybody that I had lost touch with has mentioned a fraternity or sorority in their bio, but I'm the only one.

It just doesn't seem to be a part of the culture in my area. It was never mentioned at all while I was growing up. Nobody in my family went Greek... and nobody in my family understands it today. They just kind of shrug it off with, "oh that's nice".... they think my alumnae chapter is like the local Women's Club.

Whenever I mention ZTA, my friends outside the sorority look at me like I have two heads. They had never heard of ZTA, and can't for the life of them understand what I find attractive about being a sister. But. how do you explain something like that? It's like trying to explain color to someone who is color blind.

It seems so foreign to read on this forum how much a part sororities play in some families.... and to read how some people had dreamed of being in a sorority ever since they were children.

A sorority was the last thing on my mind when I was in high school because I didn't even think they existed anymore. I thought they went out with racoon coats back in the 1950's... They were never mentioned in school, in the press.. anywhere... just on old 1950's black and white movies on TV!

What a culture shock (in a good way!) I had when I moved to Gainesville Florida! Being from the north where we "wawk duh dawg" and "drink wahduh".. I was totally unprepared for SEC life. But I LOVED it!

I'm back up in the (ugh!) northeast again, and I really miss the south. I'm here just for the job, and that's all... kind of stuck here, actually, because I love my job. But.. I'm lucky, though, that there's an alumnae chapter within an hours drive of me.

[KatieKate1244]

My class had 28 students in it...

One went AOII at WVU
Another went Sigma Sigma Sigma at CCU
One of my best friends from high school is a FIJI at Washington and Lee
And then someone else became a Sig Ep at Marshall
One kid who went to Miami (OH) became something but I'm not sure of what.

My best friend (she didn't go to my HS) went Gamma Phi at Pepperdine, but deactivated.

Most of my entire class went to Marshall. The funny thing is, those who went elsewhere became Greeks.

[TheEpitome1920]

Of my close friends I am the only one who joined a GLO.

Other friends:
Soror @ Bradley Univ.
Soror @ Lewis Univ.
Delta Sigma Theta @ Univ. of Michigan
Alpha Kappa Alpha @ some university in Indiana
Kappa Alpha Psi @ Langston Univ.

From my class of about 350:

Me: AOII at Illinois
Allison: AOII at Colorado
Cara: DZ at Iowa
Cindy: DZ at Illinois State
Jackie: SK at Eastern Illinois
Anthony: Sig Ep at Illinois
Eddie: Phi Tau at Illinois
Laura: Pi Beta Phi at Illinois

Friends from classes ahead of me:
Anne Marie: Alpha Phi at Illinois
Gerri: KKG at Illinois
Marietta: Theta at Northwestern
Jenn: AOII at Illinois
Sherry: ZTA at Illinois
Mary Lisa: AXO at Illinois
Joe: Evans Scholars at Illinois
John: AKL at Illinois

I'm sure many others went Greek, but if they weren't at Illinois I wouldn't really have known it. My high school was filled with people that you would guess would go Greek, but oddly I didn't hear of very many who did.

[CougADPi]

Friends who actually attended my high school:
Elizabeth: Alpha Gamma Delta
Hana: pledged Delta Delta Delta, but was never initiated

Friends that I had in high school:
Kelli: Alpha Sigma Alpha
Chelsea: Alpha Gamma Delta
Christina: Kappa Kappa Psi

[peanutttu]

None of my HS friends went greek. I graduated high school from a very small school (graduating class 30).

A girl 3 years younger than me pledged Delta Gamma at Texas Tech where I attended.
