Each of our sisters has a matching letters shirt which they get shortly after initiation. Hopefully one day we'll get a casual picture with all of us in our shirts! x)
I have mixed feelings about the "family line" thing. On one hand, I understand why they're not allowed - it creates cliques and at least from the outside, it seems like other fraternities/sororities that have family lines *do* tend to form cliques. Likewise, the lack of family lines also puts everyone on a more equal ground with everyone else. On the other hand, it's kinda fun to know who had whom as a big sister during their MIT semester and it can help introduce newer members to older members and alumnae. I guess the same goes for why we don't have class names, or why VPMs are discouraged to take in littles.
