Hi everyone!
I know this isn't really for the alumni involvement forum, but I feel such a kinship with everyone here... *lol*
I took a few minutes out of my hectic weekend schedule to have tea with my Big Sis today. I know that having a big isn't necessarily a "must" for alum initiates, but I can't tell you how much it has helped me feel like I'm a big part of this sisterhood. We didn't have long to talk, but we just sat around and talked married life, shopping, and things like that. Just small things, but things that add up over the long run.
If you're an alumna initiate, were you matched with a Big Sis? Do you think that having a "big" for an alum initiate can help alum initiates integrate into the chapter a little better?
Oh - and what's a good gift for an ALUM big who probably has every Alpha Phi gift possible?
Back to work on a sunny Saturday
PS - wish me luck - I'm doing my first 5K tomorrow at the SuperCities walk/run for Multiple Sclerosis!
