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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
