Bad situation with Big.. what would you do?
First, a disclaimer: this post is about gifts I gave my big during a week where all the new littles give their bigs presents in my chapter. I've talked to other sorority women who all seemed to think that this was unusual, so I just wanted to clear that up.
I don't want to get too into details here because I am sure that any number of people I know could be reading this (hi there), but basically, I did my VERY BEST to meet my big's specifications for the gifts she wanted, and how she wanted her paddle made.
However, she was unhappy with them. She really hurt my feelings by yelling at me saying that she thought the gifts/paddle were "insulting" and "disrespectful." Then... she said she would "allow" me to buy her a "new set of gifts." I told her flat-out that it would not be happening. And then...
I never heard from her (or my twin) again! AND... she removed me from her Greek family tree on Facebook (I have a twin who is still there).
I don't know if I should even bother trying to fix our relationship. I kind of miss having a "big" and a "twin" and it complicates my relationships with the rest of our "family"... but I kind of think she's crazy for demanding new gifts and dropping her little like a rock like that.
Also, she is officially dropping the sorority at the end of this semester.
What do you all think?
