I just joined my sorority as a junior this month through informal recruitment. We will be having Big/little events soon. We were told that we can choose a big. My question is, who should I choose? As a junior, a lot of the newer girls are younger than me. I am close with several senior girls, but I am not sure if I should choose a senior as my big, since she will graduate in just a few months. I have a few friends that are sophmores or juniors, so I could also ask them, though I am closer with the seniors.

I hope this makes sense! Thanks for your help.

My big graduated at the end of the same semester I was initiated. We remained in close contact even though she didn't attend chapter meetings and events anymore.

IMHO, I'd choose someone you feel closest with, regardless of class standing. Sure, they may graduate soon, but they're there to help you during your New Member Education, and that's what's most important. You may not have a lot of collegiate memories with them as they're nearing graduation, but your sisterhood extends past college.
