Once when we did it the other way (having the new members pick their bigs without ranking) we allowed 2 girls to have the same big... only because we had 10 active sisters, 9 new members, and the new member meeting in which they picked bigs took forever! 2 girls wanted one sister as their big and neither of them were backing down. Hence the reason I said that to continue doing it this way now might start a war.

Last semester when this system was started, the new members and sisters matched up very closely in who they picked, and there weren't really two new members who desperately wanted the same big and/or two sisters who wanted the same little. I'm not sure how it will go this semester, but the sisters have talked about the possibility of someone having twins, and there are a lot of girls who would be ok with doing so. Yet the only reason they discussed this a few weeks ago was on the off chance that they'd have more new members than active sisters, or if some sisters didn't want to take a little at all. Because if a sister does not feel comfortable taking two littles, or doesn't want one that semester, we have never forced them to take one.

I'm not sure how it's going to work for them this semester. They're probably going to have to see who accepts their bids, play it by ear, and figure it all out when the time comes.
