Founder's Legacies?
Okay, so I searched, and it may be the "late night" kindergarten teacher brain kicking in, but I couldn't find anything on this -
Have there/are there any legacies of NPC sororities that have joined either their NPC or a different NPC organization?
In my grand scheme of procrastinating, my brain wandered to wondering if this has ever happened? Like Fay Chertkoff (bad choice, I dont think she ever married, Phi Sig was her love) having a great-great-granddaughter who joined Phi Sig at a school.
Any ideas?

Definitely, and probably more often than you'd think. A Sigma Kappa friend of mine advises a chapter with a founder's many times great granddaughter.
In my own organization I am only aware of a founder's son who is also a Delta Chi.

I know the granddaughter of one of our founders and she is a member of the same group.

Yes for ADPi--I remember reading about one in a fairly recent (within a few years) issue of the Adelphean about this

Delta Chapter (University of Texas) seems to have the record number of Founder Legacies. A couple of our Founders didn't leave any children, so that makes it a bit more special.
When I was in school, we had a five-generation/Adelphean legacy. Sadly, she really didn't want to go greek, but she did pledge, was initiated at Convention, transferred schools, and was never heard from again.

I know that there are some instances of a founders offspring or grandchild joining a seperate organization than the ones they founded.
That to me would seem a little awkward at family gatherings.

Not if the founders are dead.

The great-something grandniece of one of our founders actually was a member of my chapter and graduated the year before I was a new member. They had an article in the ANCHORA this summer about our founder's relatives who ended up joining Delta Gamma.

AOII has no Founder legacies. Only one of our four Founders had children, Helen, and her girls went to Barnard after sorority life was disbanded.

The great great grand niece of Chi Omega Founder Jobelle Holcombe was initiated into our chapter at Northwestern Univ. within the last 5 years.

While there are no direct legacies to your founders, what about great grand nieces as NutBrn mentions? Did Helen's sisters have daughters, etc.

As far as I know, there are none.

As Elizabeth Heywood Wyman's great great grand niece, I can verify that AOII does have a member tied to the founder.
