Getting your big is a really important part of sorority life. She's the girl you look up to, and the one you go to with everything. Questions, concerns, when you have a bad day, when you have a good day, and everything in between. She's your mentor, your best friend, and your sorority mom. It's one of the best things about being in a sorority. The week before you get your big is probably the most exciting part. All week, she sends you gifts that are supposed to give you clues as to who she is. If you can figure her out, you're lucky. And at the end of the week, she reveals herself to you.
So, at the beginning of my clue week, here are a few things I'm feeling.
1. Nervous
Trying to figure out who your big is going to be is kind of nerve-wracking! Knowing that it could be any one of your 100+ sisters really makes your mind wander. Even when you get those first clues, you still have no idea who it could possibly be.
2. Scared
Getting a big is kind of a gamble. What if you two don't end up getting along? What if you aren't the right fit for each other? There are a million possibilities and the waiting makes it even worse. There's always a teeny tiny voice in the back of your head telling you that this might not be all you dreamed of.
3. Anxious
You never know who it could be. Waiting all week to get your big makes you feel very on edge, even though you know you're going to love her.
4. Excited
Getting a big is exciting! It's going to be a super enjoyable process, even if you are nervous the whole time about all of the possibilities. Plus, it's really fun to get a ton of adorable gifts delivered straight to your door.
5. Happy
It's comforting to know that no matter who your big is, you two are always going to be there for each other and love each other no matter what. Even if you two have a fight, you're always going to make up in the end, because that's what sisters do.
