Once the recruitment madness settles down and all the girls find their sororities, new members begin to think about Big/Little. It is an exciting time for future big and littles alike. It is a sacred bond and an instant connection everyone knows and loves. Being accepted into a new sorority fam is basically the next best thing after bid day, but the process can seem a little like an episode of the bachelor.
1. You use the words "they are meant to be"
It's not weird. Some girls just meet someway, somehow, and everyone knows it. They are just meant to be. They are instantly best friends and you know that they found their fam.
2. Playing matchmaker
"Oh couldn't you see this girl and that girl together??" "Oh my gosh me too....I think I'm going to tell them...they should totally hang out."
3. You go on dates
Just like any dating show you've seen, the dates are important. What should we do? I want to be casual...something not too long, but I still want to seem interested. Do you think she likes coffee?
4. You get gifts
All future littles rejoice when the future bigs come into the room, showering littles with all kinds of gifts. What could be better than getting mounds of candy, t-shirts, snacks, pens, stickers, basically anything you can think of.
5. It's what everyone is talking about
Did you see that episode of The Bachelor last night? Its a conversation starter. Big/Little is basically that. Who does this girl want? Who does that girl want? It's just too big of a deal to not talk about.
6. People pair up
You find a girl you like, and you stick with her. You do not want to lose the potentially best future big. You start to see friendships and bonds forming, which is a step closer to finding your person.
7. There is a big reveal
Every episode is a step closer to who the Bachelor/Bachelorette will pick to marry. It all builds up to that last episode. Finding your fam is pretty much like that. Every date, every interaction, and every conversation is a build up to the Big/Little reveal. Both end in tears. And happiness. And pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.
8. You live happily ever after
Now the fam has the newest addition! All the stress and nerves fade away.
