I loved my big sister, even way before i pledged. She was one of the first people i met, possibly the reason i joined my sorority. She was the rush director when i went through formal recruitment, and was sooo happy to have her as my big sister. as time went on, we became really close. And then she changed. during her last 2 years here she became very distant, and was barely a big sister to me. We didn't even say good-bye or anything when she graduated last year. I did though have MANY other sisters who were older and were my fav. people in the sorority. They were like my adopted bigs. They looked out for me, supported me, helped me through everything, and are just incredible people (i stll talk to one girl everyday over i.m. even though she is all the way on the opposit side of the country). So just so you know, a "big sister" is at times just almost a formality. Some relationships work out fantastically, and some are just a title. So, though i know you wish you have one of those fantastic big/little relationships, just be aware that it is not the end of the world if things don't work out.
