whats your relationship with your big/little?

[Blade118]

I have always been very close to my big. We don't talk as much now because she just got married and has a busy career, but we talk enough and whenever I need help with something, she's one of the first people I call. She has 3 other littles and we're all best friends too, so it works out, we have a great family in the sorority. And I really consider my big part of my biological family. My parents ask about her all the time as if she was their daughter too.

I have 4 littles myself and I would say I have good relationships with 3 of them. My last little, I barely talk to now. We got along great while she was pledging, but after that she just stopped calling and I just stopped trying. My other 3 littles--one is married, another is one of my really good friends, and the other is the best little sister you could ever ask for. We talk all the time and she comes to me for so much. I really do feel like she's my younger sister and I'm there helping her along the way. The thing with my littles is they are all from expansion schools. I saw them whenever I could (3 of them were from schools no more than 2 hours away and one was from GA--I live in NY). I've never really wanted one in my own chapter because I like traveling and meeting sisters from different schools and I'm lucky enough to have the relationships that I do. It's a lot of work keeping up with everyone, but it has a lot of reward.

We were matched with our big sisters in much the same way as bid match was done during rush, er, recruitment. I ended up with a great big, and moved into her house with her. She left for the summer, and the remaining boarders were psycho, so I had to move out, and then she transferred schools, but we stay in touch to this day. She was in my wedding, I was in hers, and we had a GREAT time at our chapter reunion in San Antonio this May. She is going through a messy divorce, and we think a p.i. was following us - oooooo, exciting! She's a hoot, and I always love getting together with her.
My one and only little (I married in college and went alum) never was really committed, and has fallen off the face of the earth.
