another lil?
 
i have two lils already and i love them to death; the thing is, i kind of really want to take another one; the fact that i have two lils won't be a problem, we have had more than one sister who had 3 lils in the past; the prob is, this is my last semester at school; i'm graduating in december; i'll be staying in the state and i know that i'll be at the house as an alumni; there are sisters in the house who don't have lils and if they want to take one and they match up, they'll get one; is it unfair of me to say that i want another one? the reason that i want another one is because i've had such incredible experiences already with my two lils; they are so so important to me and i don't know what i would do without them; my relationships with them are very special; and i want to be able to give that bond to someone else in the house, even if i will be graduating soon; just wondering what you all thought of this

I went through this same situation my last semester at school - I also graduated in December and REALLY wanted another little. I ended up not taking one and sat back at watched another Dec. graduate take one on. I will tell you this, the new member didn't have her big sister there for her for everything she needed her for. I would strongly suggest NOT taking a little your last semester, especially when there are sisters that haven't had the joy of having a little. Share the love of having a little. Trust me, it's better that way. If you want to chat more, feel free to PM me.

In my pledge class there was a girl who's big sister graduated in December. Renee and Lacey were super close and a perfect big little match, but when Lacey graduated, it was extremely hard for Renee. They still talk, but Lacey doesn't get to be around for the every day stuff. Another girl sorta adopted Renee and took over big sis stuff, but I know it was and is difficult for Renee not having her big around when the rest of us are doing things with ours. So I would say think long and hard about taking another little if you already have 2 you are close too.

Here's my personal opinion..

As much as you love the "lil", it wouldn't be fair to her when you graduate in December..I take it the 1 in 2 months?

You say that you will be staying in the state, but once you graduate, there may be opportunities that you didn't expect.

By taking this girl as your little, aren't ou depriving an active someone of a lil...

Being an alumnae DOESN'T mean you stop caring!!!;) :D
This will also allow you more chances to get to know other members as well as you do your current "lils". In the future, this may prevent chances of what are precieved favoritism when it shouldn't be an issue.

I would suggest that you do not take a little. I even contemplated taking another little but I was graduating in the spring (talking about a new member from fall). I know that one of my pledge sisters' bigs graduated in May (we were a spring pledge class), so she only had her big around for a few months. I know she would have liked to have a Big for longer than that. She too was adopted by another sister, but she still missed out on just being able to yell across a crowded room, HEY BIG!
