Becoming A Big

Honestly, it's the most fun.

Becoming A Big

It's no shock that part of being in a sorority is becoming a Big. Most people know that there is a week dedicated to Littles, but most people often assume that Big's just buy their littles a ton of presents and that you spend a lot of money and then you take a lot of photos. The thing that most people don't understand is the fact that becoming a Big is so much more than that, so I'm going to tell you exactly that.

Becoming a Big means taking responsibility for your Little's actions in the sorority. As a Big, I am there to make sure my little succeeds in school, in the sorority, and in life. I am there as her cheerleader, and nothing is better than seeing your Little succeed in something.

Becoming a Big means being your Little's best friend. I will always be there for every incident that my Little ever goes through. I will be the most fun lunch date, and have the best shoulder to cry on. My Little will never feel alone because as her Big, I will always be her best friend.

Becoming a Big means being honest. Sometimes, the hard part of being a Big is telling your Little stuff she may not want to hear, but stuff she needs to hear. As a Big, I want only the absolute best for my little, therefore I will always be honest with her.

Becoming a Big means being protective. I hope no one ever breaks my Littles heart or is mean to her. No Big ever wants that to happen, and I can tell you that I will be so protective over my Little and her feelings. Why? because I'm her Big and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Becoming a Big means spoiling your little. I would be lying if I said spoiling your Little wasn't fun. Seeing how excited Littles get when they receive gifts is one of the most exciting parts of becoming a Big. I now get to spoil my Little forever.

Becoming a Big is so much more than spending money and giving them gifts. Becoming a Big is something I am so incredibly excited for, and as we enter our Big/Little week at my University, I couldn't be more ecstatic for the week to draw to an end and finally be an official Big.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
