Joining a sorority was the best decision I've ever made, that sounds a bit dramatic but it really was. My sorority brought me so many amazing opportunities and friendships. One of the most special being the relationship I have with my Big, so what do we do when they graduate?
My big is easily the most amazing person I know. She has been there for me through thick and thin, the good and the bad. She's the first person I call when I need someone or to tell exciting news too. She gives the best advice and will always lend a listening ear. She is beyond amazing! She is so strong and smart. She always makes me laugh and knows how to cheer me up. She inspires me in ever way and always pushes me to be the best I can be. I would be so lost without her, and she means the world to me.
She is my best friend and always will be. I can tell her anything and I know I can trust her with my life. She never judges me and always supports my decisions, even if it's the complete opposite of what she tells me to do.
She is my soulmate. She is the one person on this Earth that I know will always understand my side of the story, even if she doesn't agree. I know she always does her best to see and understand how I feel.
She is my mother. She is the one who always makes sure I get home safe. She offers to pick me up after a night out, even if it's late and she works in the morning. She reminds me to grow up but also to remember how to have fun. She is the first person to give me boy advice and has to meet him before anyone else.
She is my big. This is a relationship only people in different organizations will understand. It is a relationship that I am so blessed to have and I don't care what anyone says, I have the best damn big around.
She is all these amazing things. So what am I going to do without her in my organization? My big is graduating, and it is such a bittersweet moment. I am sad because after having her guide me through life and my organization for three years, she is done. I am sad because now she won't just be down the hall or on the first floor of our sorority house. We won't be going to all our sorority events together. She won't be there to take family pictures. She won't be there by my side during spirit circles, or to cut the line during meeting to sit next to me.
But that's because she is going to be a big girl, going to have a big girl job and a big girl house. I am so proud of her! She might not be there for all those silly little things but she is still there for the big moments: the phone calls, the get togethers, the advice sessions and to encourage me. I can say with confidence that I know I will always have her in my life. Although she might be a big girl now, she will never stop being my big.
I love you biggie, and I always will. Thank you for being my sister, soulmate, mother, best friend and most importantly my big. A huge thank you in advance for continuing to be there for me for the rest of my life. This might be goodbye in our sorority, but it is not goodbye.
