I have a great-great-great grandbig (or something like that) who was a founding sister of our chapter. And like me, featured on the cover of our college alumni magazine
My big was there for me during a really rough time my soph. year. She was also the RD of the building when I was a first year RA and I really looked up to her. She had a great artistic ability and always gave the sweetest homemade gifts during the big/little stuff. She brought me my bid the night after I went to a COB event
We've lost touch, but she will always mean a lot to me.
One of my littles...are lives are oddly similar. She was without a doubt meant to be my little. I could not have gotten thru my year being President without her. She was an awesome VP Of Programming with wonderful ideas.
Her little was the most dedicated student I have ever seen! Always studying, but knew when to put away the sciece books have have a little fun. She was a great ritual chair! And I was so proud to be part of the ones she was in charge of.
My other grand-little was also President of our chapter. She's a fellow Long Island girl and am so glad she joined our chapter!
Both my grand-littles have great littles! Those girls are still in school and it's great to see their friendly faces when I go back to Homecoming, etc.
When I joined it was just my Big and I and so I get a little misty eyed thinking about how much our tree has grown...I had two littles, one of them had two littles, her little had two....I'm so proud to be in this ZTA Family!
