Big Sis Shows Obvious Favoritism

[NutBrnHair]

To me, the Big Sis / Little Sis deal is primarily to give the new member a mentor during her new member period (read: pledgship). If after that, they continue to be BFFs, then great. If not, no biggie. No two people are ever going to have an "equal" friendship with an individual. That's human nature.

At any rate, it seems like the OP's big failed even in what you consider a big to be for - she was never a mentor to begin with.

My first little was a unique relationship. Her big sister had to withdraw from school unexpectedly just a week after Carla and her fellow pledges were pinned. The Pledge Educator decided she needed a new big and since there were two of us (me and a friend of mine from my own pledge class) who really wanted a little, we both got to be Carla's big. It was great! And as an added bonus, sharing a little made me grow closer to my co-big.
