I guess that is my question. DBB is from the same campus as I am, and I wonder if her chapter used pledge mom, because I had never heard of big/little until I moved south. I don't care for the term "big" since that is code for "fat." I haven't heard of anybody using pledge mom anymore though. I'm sure it was hazing.

Our official term is Carnation Sister. Both my older CS and my younger CSes are both CS. There's no big/little or older/younger distinction. I assumed other groups had gone the same way.
