NM worship. Good term; I swear I've seen the Keep Rushing Our Pledges of my day devolve into that. I've seen big sisters spend hundreds on their littles. One of our daughters, who would've been the best big ever, wouldn't take a little because her sisters did spend so much on their littles and she couldn't keep up. Another daughter was given incredibly expensive presents by her wealthy big and we wondered if the other bigs or littles were getting upset.

And the NM I wrote about yesterday, whose new sisters were loading her FB with compliments and invitations? I started thinking about that--I knew 2 of those older girls when they were in high school and they were about as likely to heap praise on someone as my cat is. I have to wonder if the sisters were given instructions: "Okay, we think that Poopie Mae is about to depledge so here's the schedule for telling her how great she is. You 3 take Monday, you 3 do Tuesday, etc., and here are some things you should say." I mean, it was awfully obvious and now there's nothing.
