Its a tradition in my family that bigs and little match up one-and-one in big/little ranking. We decide bigs and littles from ranking lists, much like formal recruitment. Also, I broke the series of blondes in family tree and started a brunette branch!
My big big big was the reason I joined my sorority - she got me during recruitment! She works with little ones in a nursey school right now.
My big was the warmest sister - I decided I wanted her to be my big at our first mixer, the night after Bid Night. She had the biggest smile, and luckily for this world, she became a nurse!
My twin came into the family the semester after me and she was also a nursing student. She works in a hospital in Tampa Bay right now. She lived right next door to me the semester she rushed and joined and I loved her to pieces - she was like a mom to whomever needed some support! Florida was lucky to have her in their hospitals after their hurricanes - she gave her time to rescue reliefs and stayed in a hotel and hospital while structual repairs were made to her home.
I have two littles - and we matched up one-and-one both times. I 'dirty littled' both of them - they were popular choices for littles in my chapter and I wanted both in my family tree. Karen was my roommate my senior year and Shaunna (another blonde!) became our chapter's President this last year. Karen had been our Member-at-Large. Both littles are different people - but both make time for people who need help and an ear to listen. I have two little littles and 1 little little little - and I haven't met any of them! My job has been crazy this last year though I'm putting more limits on how much time I give it. So I'll visit in April and reconnect with a few alums from my chapter (who I can't wait to see!) and meet these little littles and probably spoil them all.
Not that it really matters, but our family mascot is the butterfly!
