7 Promises To My Big
Abby Latta

Since joining a sorority, I have come to find that Big/Little week was my absolute favorite. But not for the reasons you may be thinking. Yes, the week full of gifts was incredible and I cannot wait to shower my future Little with gifts, but my favorite part about Big/Little week was actually finding out who my Big was. Now, and ever since that night, my Big and I have been so close, and we grow closer every day. We have just spent the last summer apart, and I actually hated every second of not being close to her. She has done so much for me, helped me pass math, pick out dresses for Greek events, to helping me decide what to do with problems in my personal life.
I know that when she took me on as her Little she promised to be there for me, to guide me, and much more. So Big, here are my promises to you.

1. I promise to always be there for you.

Big and Little relationships are not something to be messed with, especially when a crazy Little is involved...I'm that crazy Little. <3

3. I promise to always try to help you keep your life together.

Considering the fact that neither one of us can manage to keep things together at all times, this should be interesting, but I swear that I will always try my hardest to help you keep your life in one somewhat solid piece.

4. I promise to always go out with you

Because partying with you is the best kind of partying.

5. I promise to always hate your exes


You will always be my big, and I will always protect you, therefore I will always hate your exes for hurting you.

5. I promise to always try to give you my best advice

I know I don't always know exactly what to say, but I promise to always try my hardest to make you feel better...even if that means making you pizza rolls and ice cream.

6. I promise to always make sure you know how incredible you are

Big, I love you! You are so incredibly important to me and I need you to always know how amazing you are. You are one of the smartest people I have ever met and I cannot even express how much you mean to me, so I promise to always do my best to make sure you know that you're actually the best. ...does that make sense?

7. I promise to always be the best little I can possibly be

You being my Big has been the greatest part of my college days, so I promise to always be the best little I can be. Whether that is keeping you on track at the library or holding your hair back, I will be the best for you!


You are the greatest Big I ever could've asked for and I would never imagine having another person. Thank you for always being my lunch date, my shoulder, and my confidant. I am so lucky that I get to return the favor.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
