Unless your big has been terminated from the sorority or turned in her pin on her own, you shouldn't look to be adopted into another family. Think of it this way - if your mom passed away and you erased her name off the birth certificate and put your stepmother's name on. That's pretty much what you're doing.

You are going to have a family in school - you're getting twins, for crying out loud. Unless your big is going into a cloistered convent, you can still talk to her and ask her for advice. You got a LOT more than some girls get - and you want to dump her because she GRADUATED??!? What kind of lesson would that send to the girls you are taking as littles? A lot of people actually become closer after graduation when they're not juggling 8 zillion things.

You can hang out with and get support from older sisters without killing your family line. If the families are unequal in size, maybe the smaller ones can get together to do dinners and such.

For everyone who thinks this is much ado about nothing, every school is different, and especially at smaller schools where lines can be traced back to chapter founders, family lines ARE a big deal.
