preffing bigs

Leslie AGD~ thanks!

CarolinaCutie~ my Phi sisters (the names have all changed now) didn't impress me all that much, either. Big/Little week was really different, though. We're not all that close, but she spoiled me rotten! I think it's partly that the secret sisters you get before your Big may not develop as close a relationship as is expected between Big/ Lil. Something else to think of is finances. If they didn't do much in comparison to others, maybe it's because they just couldn't or didn't have much spare time. I'm sorry that you feel cheated, from the sounds of your post, with your secret sis experiences. I'm sure your Big will spoil you!

At our school we have Mom/Dot. My mom has graduated, but her and I were really tight. I also have a Grandma that is still in it. She is like my Mom now and we hang out alot. I also have 2 dots, and my Grandma has another dot too so she is my aunt and then her dot is my cousin. It gets all confusing when we tell people outside the chapter about it! But it makes us pretty unique becuase I do not know many schools that call it this. My dots and I are all really close. I love them both so much and I take some of the other newer girls on sometimes too becuase they seem to have kind of crappy moms. I think that is all I have.

Tell me does anyone else do Mom/Dot?

No Mom and Dot here, but we did the extended family thing... two littles who share a big = twins, then aunts and cousins. What you call Grandma = grandbig in my chapter. When I took my little, we were technically Carnation sisters for political correctness. However, I was told that they've gone back to big/little. Any insight, CarolinaCutie?

[CarolinaCutie]

TECHNICALLY it's a Carnation sis, but Big and Little are so universally recognized throughout GreekWorld, so we generally use that term.

Edit: I went to a Panhel meeting tonight, and then stopped in and watched Dawson's with some of the sisters... it was so WEIRD knowing that they know if they are our Big sis or not, and we don't! I was dying to ask Next week is gonna be LONG!

LOL! I hated that before my revealing!! Of course, it will be your turn soon enough. I had my little convinced that she was definitely not in my family. So, be prepared for whatever guessing games await you. Have a great week. I hope all your dreams come true!

I just turned inmy pref list yesterday! We are only supposed to list 3 MC's but I listed 4. For revealing we are doing the pumpkin idea that someone listed in a different thread. This will be my first little I'm SO excited about it, I allready have so many great ideas for her Today I even went and bought a paddle (duck shaped of course )today LOL

It was a no brainer for me when I put down my big list, I knew I wanted Emily when she preffed me. She made me feel so at home. When I got a little years later, I was really honored that she wanted me. It's such a feel good time!
