Nervous......

oceanphi01 · #1 10-05-2003, 04:41 PM

Maybe I'm just a worry-wart, but I'm really worried (and scared) that I won't get a little sister this semester. I really want one of three girls and I am terrified that I won't get any one, especially them. Grrrrr! Yeah, so in case you can't tell, we're picking bigs and littles today. yeay! I'll update when I find out. So nervous.....

Ditto me too. This is my last chance to get a little sister, ever. I'm graduating in May and we won't have a Spring pledge class because we filled quota and are above total.

I know who I really want, and I'll be heartbroken if I don't get her. There's a few more girls I wouldn't mind getting, but I really want her.

I've decided that maybe I should just following my instincts from now on. I didn't get anyone and I am really upset. I feel like I was screwed over big time. On another note, I'm a grand-big sister now. My little, Maggie, got a little.

i dont get it.....you were upset b/c you wanted another little sister but you already have one? hi, i'm a senior and i'm getting my FIRST little sister

i think instead of being upset, you should be excited that your family IS growing and focus your attention on your grand little instead of crying about a new member you didnt get.

i dont understand why some sisters feel the need to fight over littles......i put it this way: if i didnt get a little this year, i wasnt going to hold it against anyone, including myself.......it just wasnt meant to be and you know how hard it is to be a senior vying for a little......esp when almost every other sister who is younger than you (and a good majority of the chapter) also wants to take one.

things work out the way that they are supposed to.

*sorry if i upset or insulted anyone....its been a long day and i'm tired*

I was upset because I didn't get one. I think I just needed to get that out of my system. I am really happy for everyone that got one and my family has 7 new additions!!! I think I just had a bad day and it was compounded. I didn't mean to offend anyone by that. I thought this was a place where we could go for support. I wish you the best of luck in getting a little sister.

Hopefully you will get one next year! Until then at least you have a grandlittle to smother with love. My little never took one, so I was always jealous of the big families!

oceanphi01 · #7 10-06-2003, 09:53 PM

That's what I'm excited about. My grand-little will get so much shtuff that she won't know what to do with it. And there's always the added bonus that my family just got 7 new additions!!! Hehehe.

sorry about that last post i made.......it just annoys me when sisters are upset about not getting a little but they have like seventy billion to begin with

and 7 additions???? holy cow your chapter must be HUGE!!!

Our chapter is actually at 49, 9 above total. This pledge class was 17 girls, our largest ever. But that's alright, because I think we have 16 girls graduating in the next year.

oceanphi01 is also from one of the larger families. My family was at 5 girls, and we have 4 new members joining our family. We're all very excited.

I believe you mean 9 above total.

Crap, I always say that, and I know the difference too.

aphibeach · #12 10-08-2003, 10:44 AM

i cant believe how much yall's families grow with a new pledge class

we're at 66 (6 above ceiling) and had a pledge class of 23 and i dont think that the largest family is as big as yalls!!!!

oceanphi01 · #13 10-09-2003, 12:15 PM

Well, we consider the family two branches. My grand big's big had another little and that's the other branch. I counted today in class (because I was bored), and we'll have 19 in our family if we don't split. I hope we don't! All the other families grew too. Nicole's family (astroaphi) double in size because everyone in it got a little. Hehehe! I love additions (if you can't tell)!

aphibeach · #14 10-11-2003, 11:12 AM

wow! families normally dont double in our chapter.....maybe every once and a while (like every few years) a big and their little will both take littles but that's about it.

AlphaPhiBubbles · #15 10-11-2003, 03:48 PM

My family at SFSU has just added 2 additions (yay!) but total we have 11...although to be fair we did adopt a girl from my pledge class because her big was...erm...not around.

I am going to be joining a new family though here in Chico, and I want to take a little I just hope the girl i want picks me!!!
