[KSUViolet06]

I was active for 3 years and didn't take a Little Sis until my last year. I always wanted one, it's just that no one ever matched with me. With every new member class, I made it a point to meet the new girls, invite them to do things, and took on a new Pearl Pal every week. Still, no one ever matched until the fall 2006 new member class came in.

I first met my Little at a meeting for a Christian women's service club that I'm involved in. I started chatting her up there and we ended up doing a service project together in that group. I even invited her to go to Campus Crusade with me one week. We had alot in common: we're both from San Diego, we both loved God, and now we were both in this club together. I thought she was really neat.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and Sigma is holding COB. Guess who happened to see one of our flyers and decide to come? Yep, she did! I was so surprised when I saw her there because I hadn't heard her mention being interested in joining a sorority. She was surprised to see me there because she didn't know I was in a sorority!

She came to a couple of events and I got to know her alot better. I liked her so much that when it was decided that she'd get a bid, I went along with the VP-Recruitment to extend it to her!

Once she got a bid, I decided that I wanted to take her as my Little. So we just kept hanging out. I knew that alot of other sisters liked her, but I didn't try to be overzealous. We just liked hanging out together.

When it came time for matching, I listed her as my #1. I was totally worried that she wouldn't want me because she had told me before that she wasn't sure who she wanted. But she ended up listing me as her #1! The rest is history. She became my one and only Little.

She is one of my best friends and now has 3 wonderful Littles of her own!

Some advice: Don't freak out if you don't end up taking one right away. I didn't. Sometimes you just have to wait it out until there is a girl that you really want that seems to match your personality.
