My big sister was a complete surprise to me. She was my first choice but I didn't think she wanted me at all. I was shocked and totally excited when I discovered that it was her! Her and I are very close...we have the same major and I have held every major office in the house that she has, only a year later (including President). She is one of the best things about my house and is truly a role model. The heartsell that I'm giving for Recruitment this year is mostly about her since she is graduating in May.
In the area of littles, I haven't had so much luck. My chapter is small, so I picked up a little the semester after I pledged. The matching got all screwed up and it turned out that she didn't want me at all and resented me from then on. She ended up suspending at the end of her first active semester.
My second little was fantastic, her and I had a lot in common and we would have made great friends. She de-pledged two days before initiation. I was crushed. I was convinced that I was cursed and doomed not to have any littles.
However, since I am one of the only members in the house to not have a little currently, I near the top of the list for this Recruitment
Hopefully, this one will work out!
