I don't know any ADPi's at Pitt anymore, but I do know that only a few years ago when I pledged KD they still had big littles.
I'm certainly not attacking ADPi, it just does sound like you guys are trying to be "above it all" on this subject (to quote the phrase used here) when in reality it just seems like a euphamism.
Exactly - especially since so many ADPis call people their "Big <>" or "Li'l <>" which is something I've seen a lot on here.

Personally, I think it sounds like the chapter sucks at Big/Little matching. My chapter's had a few instances of girls being "adopted" but for the most part it was either because the big graduated or because the big was a crappy big who never showed up to anything when active or alum. I think a big thing to focus on here is that big/little pairings should be thought of carefully. Even if somebody really wants a little, if they aren't a good match, don't give them one! It should be somebody who not only has the time/money for a little, but somebody who they can relate to. I've seen so many girls who beg to have a little, and then they never do anything with them - it is supposed to be a special bond and you shouldn't do it just to have a little, you should do it to have THAT little that you love so much.
