Buttonz, that sounds pretty wise. If there are enough NMs that your not taking a little would cause doubling, or if there's a girl that you just HAVE to have as your little, then take one. If not, or if it's going to cause some friction in the chapter, then think about holding off. My personal opinion is that if you'd have to wait 'til Fall 2004 to get a little, then you should be allowed to take one now. But that's just me. If you take one now, then that's one less year for your little, whoever she might be, to be alone (because her big's graduated). My big gradated after my first year as a Kappa, and while I love her to death and wouldn't want anyone else to be my big, I did feel lonely quite often. So that'd be a valid point for you to bring up.

Good luck.
