7 Ways Being A Big Is A BIG Difference Than Being A Little

Yeah, sorry sorority gals are never going to keep quiet about the big/little process.

If you got to pick and love your own big sister or little sister, you wouldn't shut up about it either. Yet, the experience of going through the process as a potential big is VASTLY different from going through it as a potential little.

Here's how:

1. You want to come off as mature.

You want to prove that you can be an adept mentor, showing potential littles that you know big sisters are supposed to be know-it-alls and that you do, in fact, know it all already for them.

2. You get to think of ways to spoil potential littles.

Oh, this one is obsessed with Harry Potter? Guess who's getting a lifetime supply of butterbeer.

3. You have your fam to consider.

Littlest should get along well with older fam members so that they can bond and get closer too. She's not just your littlest; she's the fam's littlest. But with that...

4. You have your fam to fangirl with.

When one of the potential littles is acting SO CUTE that you just can't stand it, you have your fam to discuss it with. You get to tell them how much fun you're having in the process and you get to bond over what it was like for them when they were potential bigs.

5. You have more to talk about.


You get to talk about your experiences within your sorority and you probably have more college experience, in general, to bring into the conversation. You no longer have to rely chiefly on high school experiences to talk to your date--WOOHOO!

6. You get all excited not because of what you'll get out of the process, but because of what you'll be able to give.

Suddenly, you know that you're going to be the big sister. And you find yourself being not able to wait for ways to be there for your little and help guide them.

7. You already know how awesome it's gonna be.

When you get a little that you can connect with, you already know how strong and impactful that bond is going to be.

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.
