blog topic #5

For your blog this week I'd like you to invent and describe a new tradition or revamp an old one for Converse College or any of her many parts (Petrie School, Athletics, First-year class, etc.)

Big Sis, Lil' Sis week is a great tradition at Converse College. Juniors send gifts to their little freshman sisters that they have personally hand pick. They finally reveal their identity on the last day. It is a great tradition and a really fun week. The unsuspecting freshmen try to guess who their big sisters are, while they receive gifts from them, but what about the big sisters? They give us presents based on different themes almost every day of the week and some of us send thank you cards, but we have not done anything for them. They go through all the trouble and money to make their little sisters happy. So I think we should have a Big Sis Appreciation Day! It would be a special day when the little sisters would do something for their big sisters. I think it would be a really great idea. The Big Sis Appreciation Day could be in the spring since the Big Sis Lil' Sis Week is in the fall. Big Sis Appreciation Day would have a designated week and like Easter it would fall on a different day each year. The freshmen class would have a secret meeting and decide when the Big Sis Appreciation Day would be so that it is a day when our big sisters are least expecting it. What each little sis does for her big sis will be her own decision. It would be a really fun day and a great new tradition we could start at Converse College to show our appreciation for our big sisters and the Big Sis, Lil Sis tradition.
