Big Sis/Lil Sis Week

One of the most popular Converse traditions affectionately known as “Big Sis/’Lil Sis” pairs freshmen with juniors for a fun and personalized welcome to life at Converse! Every first-year student is matched with a junior in her sister class...initiating friendships that can last a lifetime. During Big Sis/Lil Sis Week, Converse women enjoy a week of fun as big sisters send gifts; adorn their little sisters in colorful attire that often represents a special theme; schedule humorous games and activities; and send clues that help little sisters guess their identity. Big Sisters often enlist helpers from other classes to deliver presents and notes in the middle of the night, all to ensure that their identity remains a secret! At the end of the week, Big Sisters introduce themselves to their little sisters during the Reveal Night.

Because 2007 is an odd-numbered year, the Classes of 2009 and 2011 are Red Devils.

Jason Mraz is one of the hottest names in music today. His studio efforts have been very well received: "Waiting for My Rocket to Come" (2002) soared to #55 in the US charts while the 2005 release "Mr. A-Z" reached #5.

On September 15, Mraz headlines a concert on the back lawn of Converse. Joining Mraz on the bill were The Working Title and Doug Jones.
