I have to agree....
Everything always depends on the situation, and if it is your best friend from high school going through and you really want to be her big, talk to your litte. Or suggest that your little take her as her little. Then she'll stay in your family line. I know at my chapter, the whole family spoiled NMs, not just their bigs.
But if it's just for the sake of having two littles, it's not fair to them to have you graduate so quickly after taking them in to your family. I pledged in the fall and took a little in the Spring (I was very gung-ho), my big graduated in May and then my little had to leave the sisterhood for personal reasons the following Spring semester. It left me all alone and it wasn't easy. Usually the cheery, mother-like one hugging everyone and wishing congratualtions after every event, I was slipping out the backdoor to get out of the family excitement. It's not easy.
You can still be a great friend and role model to any incoming sister, but think about how it will affect them if you take a little and then are gone.
