And More Sisters Most of us have observed the baf- fled expressions on the faces of off- campus visitors when a Scottie says, 1 want you to meet my little sister, Patti, and my other one, Caria, oh, and there ' s my newest one, Debbie. The looks indicate that the Scottie must have lost all of her senses. But it is easy enough to explain, thanks to the great Orientation program which gives each incoming freshman and transfer student a Big Sister from another class. These Big Sisters intro- duce them to Agnes Scott, and when they arrive help the new girls to move in, get settled, learn their way around and adjust to college life. Many Big Sisters stay close to their little sisters throughout the college year. Some am- bitious seniors have as many as six little sisters. Now that ' s a sisterhood! Just keeping up with each of their birthdays is a memory feat. But the biggest reward for a Big Sister is when her charge decides to become a Big Sister herself because hers was so spe- cial to her! I Sol guy. iA Ajt The Sister Class . . . Everyone knows that at Black Cat each class is out to win the prized Black Kitty. But if you listen closely, you will hear an ever recurring phrase which is very spe- cial: Sister Class. A senior Scout tells a nervous sophomore Sundance Kid, Don ' t worry, we ' ll help you find out their mas- cot — hey, we ' re you sister class! And of course we have the sentimental sister songs at the bonfire and song competi- tion the Thursday before the Black Cat production and formal. Even this year ' s rain and indoor fake bonfire did not take away from the beauty of choruses of girls singing to their sister classes. It was a time for the freshmen to thank the ju- niors for helping them through Black Cat. And it was a time to say good-bye to the senior Troop of ' 83 and welcome in the new sister class of 1986. 1 n E cTJ BJI Mippii l 1 I BP S ' m V ' i l r Jl vIP H L kj ' ill.

A Sisterhood The Real Sister Certainly not the least important type of sisterhood at Agnes Scott is the real, trueblood sister. We have several sets of sisters who share the same background but lead totally different lives at Agnes Scott. We even have one family of three sisters, the Whittens. And we have a set of sisters who both won Stukes Scholar- ships on Honors Day and another set of sisters who made the Honor Roll for 1981- 82 in their respective classes. Many girls wonder what it would be like to be at school with their sisters . . . Well, these sisters report that although some compe- tition does exist, there is a sense of help- fulness and guidance that typifies sis- terhood. Of the set s of sisters here, all are as individual as any other Scottie. Some younger sisters choose to follow their older sisters into certain clubs and activities (we even have two who are both Georgia Tech FIJI little sisters) while others seem so opposite you hardly real- ize they are related. Yet the tie is there, and related they are. Sisters with the sis- terhood of Agnes Scott — a very special relationship indeed. 1) After swearing up and down that she would never go to the same college as her sister, Anne, Margaret Luke finds herself enjoying a cup of coffee with her in the Hub. 2) Crazy as she is Dean Kirkland is everyone ' s sis- ter. 3) April and Suzy Wessinger not only have to live together at home, but they are also roommates here at Scott. 4) Sue Feese and her sister Laura are Stukes Scholars and very active on campus. How do two such outgo- ing sisters stand living on the same campus? Well. they make it somehowl
