How many of you and your family are ISU alums?

My entire immediate family--mom, dad, and all three siblings. At least one aunt I can think of, two cousins on the other side of the family, one of their wives, and now one of my cousin's son. My husband was the first in his family to come to ISU, his younger brother came here too (out of state). His brother met his wife here, so she is an ISU grad as well. My girls and I were just walking on campus today, hoping they will be doing that for school in 8-10 years!
My husband's dad, aunt, and her husband are all alums.
The one cousin on that side went to Central, but cheers for ISU and married an ISU grad. We don't speak of the other cousin that went to Iowa. :wink:
Husband's stepbrother is a current student at the age of forty-something. (GI Bill, I believe?)
Yeah, husband attended but didn't graduate.

Myself, 4 cousins, an aunt that I know for sure graduated from Iowa State. I had a great aunt that taught textiles and clothing there.
Just me. It's pretty cool that we're on a wall. I'll have to check it out when I'm there Saturday.
Most of my family except me. Mom, dad, brother, 3 cousins and 2 uncles. My sister and I are the black sheep but both cheer for the Cyclones. I did take a couple summer classes at Iowa State.
Uhh that I graduated from ISU and will be at the state fair on Saturday and will look for the wall the OP mentioned.
Just hope your name is in red and not yellow on the wall. My name is in yellow, and made it so much more difficult to find.

My Dad graduated in 1971. He had 3 or 4 first cousins that attended around that time. And a few of his cousins had kids who attended in the late 80's or 90's.
I started in 1997 and since then I've had a sibling or first cousin at Iowa State every year. In my immediate family, 4 out of the 5 kids attended Iowa State. Next year, is the first year that I won't have any cousins at Iowa State, but my cousin has a daughter that is considering Iowa State and my Dad's cousin's daughter is also considering Iowa State. Both are out of state kids who have been pretty impressed with Iowa State.

My step-grandpa, my uncle, my cousin, my wife and I are the only ISU grads in my family.
It was pretty cool searching for our names on the wall.
