whats your relationship with your big/little?

[kathykd2005]

My first big sister actually left the sorority, and I've never been quite sure why--so don't feel bad about not having a good relationship with yours. However, my adopted big (who also happened to be in the same "family") is wonderful. She has always been fun and driven, which I admire. I was very lucky that she and her big sister took it upon themselves to keep me in their little group. My little and I have a unique relationship. She was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding, she became president of the chapter, and she is just overall a wonderful person, also someone I admire. I try to keep in touch as much as I can. My grandlils are both awesome and completely different, which is great. Now, my great grandlils are now sophomores in college (I've been graduated for two years), but I still keep in contact with them, due to the wonders of facebook and myspace. I hope to keep in contact, at least, with the "family line."

My big and I didn't get along until I was active for about 7-8 months. I knew I was getting her (there were two girls up for littles, and everyone know my pledge sister would get who she got as her big) and was dreading it, plus she wanted to wait to take a girl that wanted to pledge but couldn't afford it so she was waiting till the next fall.

Well, she took her the following fall and was a much better big to this girl (let's call her A). A wound up dropping her letters after a week because she just got engaged and "didn't have a need for a sorority anymore" (this is what A told me). After that we wound up becoming a lot closer and getting along better.

As for my little, we were close until I transfered and then she stopped returning my calls and stuff.

My adopted bigs (both of them are in my family, one my great grand big and one my great great grand big) I'm still pretty close with one, and speak to the other, just not as often as I'd like.

my big and i get along very well. she's not my best friend or anything, but we share a similar sense of humor and connect over many aspects of our lives.

my "big" (using the NPC/NIC/IFC terms here) and i talk every day, almost anyway. we get along fine. we're a lot alike as far as career goals and maturity levels - she's a good 7, 8 years older than me and i'm kinda old for my age so it balances out.

now my "little," well, we arent that close at all. she's always in school or at work and she lives quite far from me. and on the off chance that we are together, we have nothing to talk about aside from school and work. its not a bad relationship per se, but not the ideal.
