I've been in your shoes. But, I look at it this way. After some issues, I was unofficially adopted by a good friend/older member. So, since my chapter is into family trees, mine was just a bit bigger than most. I claim both Bigs as mine and both their lineages. One of my pledge sisters and also in my original line had something similar happen and she was also adopted but by her original Big's Big sister. When I got a Lil, I made a beautiful family tree and tried to include all of these intertwinned lines. It shows how we are all connected and had room for changes and additions to be made. When I transfered from my initiating school, my adoptive Big and family looked after my Lil and she was also formally adopted by a chapter member who had never had a sister. So, rather than muddying the waters, all these adoptions just make our family tree more interesting and larger--what's better than more "aunts", "twins", "cousins", etc?
