Big Sister / Little Sister

There is a tradition at Dominican High School in Detroit
called Big Sister / Little Sister. When a girl enters Dominican as
a freshman, she is picked by a senior to be her Little Sister. The
Big Sister is supposed to befriend her Little Sister, and show her
the ropes of high school. They exchange notes, cards, presents and
sometimes become very good friends that keep in touch for life.
