2 male Cousins were Greek, but I don't know which GLO(s). My cousins are all much older than I (like 20+ years).
Since I've posted this, I've discovered that the 3 great aunts were members of the local which became Kappa Alpha Theta.

DH's Great Nieces:
1 - Gamma Phi Beta
1 - Delta Gamma

My brother didn't have any children, but of the kids who call me Auntie, so far:
1 - Delta Tau Delta
1 - Alpha Omicron Pi (no ADPi chapter there, she said it was the closest!)
1 - Alpha Delta Pi

Pi Beta Phi (2)
Delta Zeta
Delta Delta Delta
either Alpha Chi Omega or Chi Omega
Chi Sigma Xi

We are also very proud of at least one female member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Came across a few OLD Holiday Greeting Letters from family, the kind that boast "Ethan is a Member of VKT Fraternity at Higher Ed University", while writing new holiday cards this month. So I get to add a few numbers to my list (athough darn it, no additional groups).

Dad-Tau Kappa Epsilon
Both Brothers- Zeta Psi
Me- Tri Delta
Brother's girlfriend- Alpha Epsilon Phi

My mom isn't from the states so naturally there wasn't greek life where she lived. I'm interested in if any future children that might be in the family join greek life!

My mother and I are both Alpha Gamma Delta.
My husband is Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
My father pledged Sigma Nu but did not initiate.

My father in law was a Tau Kappa Epsilon. He was the son of Russian immigrants and the first in his family to attend college. I have his badge loose in my jewelry box.

My grandfather was a Phi Delta Theta. He was the son of Scottish immigrants and the first in his family to attend college, also. I have his badge attached to a charm bracelet that my grandmother wore (which also has an AGD mother's pin as a charm).

My daughter is in high school now and only 2 of our state universities have AGD chapters. Although I'd be fine if she blazes her own path, I do admit my fingers are crossed that her heart will find a home as an Alpha Gam.

Wow, Cheerio, what a line-up!

My family is small, but some variety of Greek orgs:

Me: Gamma Phi Beta
Dad: Pi Kappa Alpha
Brother: Pi Kappa Alpha
Aunt: Delta Delta Delta
Uncle: Sigma Chi
Cousin: Kappa Kappa Gamma (Tri-Delta mom)
Cousin: Kappa Delta (Tri-Delta mom)
Cousin: Chi Omega
Cousin: Pi Beta Phi

Only two girls in the family still to possibly rush. One is my Tri-Delta aunt's granddaughter who lives in Texas. The other is my great-niece who's likely to go to school in-state where there is no Gamma Phi chapter (but chapters of all the others in my family so hoping for that if she wants it).

As far as I know I only have a cousin who is a Gamma Phi Beta and then there's the step-daughter of my brother (she was kicked out of Alpha Sigma Alpha).


ETA: I do remember reading some old letters my mom had from relatives I didn't know who mentioned daughters joining ADPi.

I'm a proud Theta Phi Alpha,, although nationally we are not large,, here in the Ohio/N Ky area we have 8 active chapters & I believe 5 inactive chapters.
My mother's cousin, my dad's 2nd cousin & both of my daughters are all Theta Phi Alphas. I had no idea of my mother's cousin when I joined. We are all from the same chapter, Alpha Mu at NKU
My first cousin is a Delta Zeta (Miami U) & my cousin's daughter is a Phi Sigma Sigma (NKU), my husband's mother's cousin is a Zeta Tau Alpha (University of Cincinnati)
My daughter's husband's grandmother was an AOPi at Indiana University . My son is a Sigma Phi Epsilon (NKU)
I had an uncle who was a Lamda Chi Alpha (in Ky, not sure where),
I may have posted this before, but it's always good to get Theta Phi Alpha out there, we aren't on here a whole lot.
