Family Line

Refers to the string of LBs, LB^s, and so on that can be traced back to one individual person, similar to a family tree. The numbering style for determining the relation of someone to someone else used in Iota Phi is dependent on superscripts:

LB: your lil bro

LB^2: your lil bro's lil bro

LB^3: your lil bro's lil bro's lil bro

And so on... Because a family line will continue to build as long as you have active members, some family lines can be fairly large (see Minh's line).
