I'd like to know how people deal with this too. One of my daughters had a big who came from a wealthy family and Big Sis gave her hundreds of dollars worth of presents over the first year. Other girls in the sorority commented to us that it was hurting the other girls because some could barely afford to buy a couple of sets of letters for their littles. The big sister is a fabulous person (we still see her) but apparently never had someone to get things for before and went all out.

Another daughter refused to take a little because she said she'd be expected to provide about $200 worth of presents--I think that the chapter had them pay up front and then all the littles got the same gifts. I can see where it would provide equality but that was too much money.

How can it be controlled?
