13 Tips For New Bigs

1. Make time for your little.


2. Spoil your little.


3. Let your little know if you are worried about her decisions.

Your little is human, and there are going to be times in her life where she will want to do things that aren't the best for her, for representing your letters, or for her relationship with you. Make sure you take the time to explain those things to your Little and how she can make better choices.


4. When she still makes bad decisions, be there for her.

Understand that your little will still do some of those things anyway.,


5. Make your little break-up boxes, get-well soup, recruitment care packages, and motivational letters.


6. Let your little know how important she is to you.


7. Take pictures with your little.

8. Buy your little her first pair of letters.

9. Be your little's guide through sorority life.

Remember how clueless you were when you decided to go through recruitment and accept a bid to a sorority? Those were good days. Remember how your big explained to you the difference between a date night and semi-formal? Or told you how long your feet would hurt after recruitment? Congratulations! It is now your turn to work with your little and make sure that she knows everything about your organization and about fraternity and sorority life. Be sure to ask your own big if your still have questions.


10. Forgive your little.


11. Be your little's biggest supporter and best friend.


12. Be the big you know your little deserves.


13. Give your little all of the love you have.

She is the future of your organization and will represent your letters just as much as you do. Just make sure you give your little the best experience of her life. Enjoy being a big -- it's truly the best.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
