in our house, bigs and littles were matched up according to preference of both the pledges and the sisters, so everyone got someone they were at least ok with. our house stressed that your big doesn't have to be your best friend; the role of big is more just a functional one to teach you ritual and help learn your way around the sorority. i got lucky with my big, though. she is absolutely super and was one of the first friends i made when i came to college. she has always been encouraging and inspiring and i think our relationship really demonstrates sisterhood. even though she's away at grad school now, we still keep in contact. my littles...well, one of my littles is absolutely super, too. she lives with me this year. we always find lots to talk about and i really enjoy getting her insight on things. she's really special. my other little doesn't even speak to me anymore (and i'm not even sure why, exactly). so i guess that just goes to show that big/little relationships can work out just like any other friendships. but i am very blessed to have the sisters that i do!
