When I started college, joining a sorority was not even a thought in my mind. No less taking on a little sister. I would be responsible for guiding her through her new member process and her first year of college. I can honestly say I was put into this organization for a reason and that reason might of been to meet my best friend (my little)!
Being part of a sorority that is so amazing does have its ups, downs and bumps in the road. I did not join a sorority to find a better social life. I joined it for the family aspect that is had. As an organization with 21 active members, I know that I can count on every single one of them to be there when I need them. But we all know that we have our family and then our immediate family. I found my immediate family, I found my mom (a.k.a. my Big) and my daughter (a.k.a. my little).
The semester, my little went out for formal recruitment. I was not with the rest of my sisters to meet all the new potential new members; I was on the other side as a recruitment counselor and that is where I met her. I couldn't tell any of the girls what organization I was in and my future little did not know either. I believe God has put me in this position because he wanted to finally meet my best friends and future maid of honor.
Letter to my little:
Hey little,
You may not know this, but you are the sunshine and little of my life. There will be no littles after you because I have found the most perfect one there is. I knew the first time I met you, that you would be mine. I felt as if there was no other person that would fit in my puzzle called life better than you. I thank God every day that I got you as my little ray of sunshine my sophomore year. It seems I spend every moment at school with you and I feel you're the one that knows how to brighten my day when I've had a rough one. And you pick me up when I fall. When I fall, I mean both, flat on my face drunk and of course more often emotionally. We are the most seen together big and little pair there is in all of the world and everyone knows it. Without getting you as my little, I probably would still not be where I am today. When times get tough you tell me like it is and keep me afloat when I'm drowning. I didn't guide you though your new member process, you guided me to where I am happy in my life. No one could of ever pick me up like way you do every day I am in need of it. Summer is half over and I can't wait until we get to kick ass in the fall again. Even though we are apart, you still find the time to be there for me 300 miles away. Thank you for always being my right hand and go to. I hope one day you find the little of your dreams just like I found mine.
Love,
Biggie Risso
