"Big Sister"

[amanda6035]

Absolutely! One of the things I learned during the course of being an undergrad and seeing new sisters come into the chapter, is sometimes, somethign would come up that I knew, and assumed it was common knowledge, and of course, one of the newer sisters wasn't aware of that particular thing. So last year, when I was NMOC, I tried to be as thorough as possible during NM meetings without making them seem like boring history lessons, so that way, i tried to do my part to teach them as much as possible. We did Alpha Xi jeopardy at chapter retreat, and it was after big/lil revealing, so the big sisters had to help out the littles with the answers. Of course, that wont work for my AI little, so I've got to come up with a creative way to teach her the facts and fun stuff....

I'm planning on meeting with her as often as I can, and having "mini" new member meetings where we can discuss stuff. But I want to make it fun for her too.

To the AI's out there - how did your mentor help you along the way? What ways did she teach you, what kind of outings did y'all do and how did she enrich your experience?
