Expanding the Family

If you look back at some posts from last year, you would see that Big Sis/Lil Sis was a very prominent event. I not only have an amazing Big Sis and an incredibly talented art major for a Twin. This past fall I took three Littles as my own, as well as adopted my two best friends' Littles. This brought my grand total of Little Sisters up to 7!

Well in case you thought that wasn't a large enough family, I apparently felt the same. In the spring term of last year Converse's Delta Omicron, music honor fraternity, took new initiates and created a big/little setup. So I gained my lovely DO littles, Sanuja and Lydia. And in the spring we also had many girls transfer in to Converse, so I welcomed an additional sister to the family, Mary Katherine.

 

Have you lost count yet? Try having to remember who all you have to send postcards to and buy gifts for. It is insane! We have also adopted into our family Tia, India's freshman year roommate, and Darby, Kayla's freshman year roommate, I am musical Big to Anna Grace, and we have an honorary member, Callie, who is not a Converse student but definitely has a place in my heart. Before I give you a final headcount, even from across the pond my family expanded. Meet the newest addition, Morgan! A most precious transfer student, who is actually a Pink Panther, but belongs to our Red Devil clan.

 When I entered as a freshman at Converse College and they told me that sisterhood was the number one component of the school, I did not expect that it would take me from only child status to someone who has a Big Sis, a twin, and *drum roll* 15 Little Sisters! And you know it is serious when my mother asks about each one. Can't wait to be reunited with my ever growing family in January.

 

Love always,
