After going through all the stress of recruitment, you've made it. You finally found your place on Greek Row. You think the hardest part is over until you realize you get to learn 200 plus names and find your big. What does that even mean?! How hard can this really be?
You go on "sister dates" and try to bond with someone, anyone. Some of these lunch/dinner/coffee dates go great! You talk about a lot more than just the weather outside and maybe even find something in common. Others, don't go as well.
Finally, someone you recognize from recruitment Facebook messages you and asks if you are free to hang out at all during the week. You think back to past sister dates and with the fear of reveal approaching, you find a time to meet.
You both order the same food, laugh at the same awkward situations, and bond right away. You' ae not sure what the whole big/little relationship thing is like but you assume it's something like this. "OMG I've found her," you think to yourself.
What if someone else thinks the same thing and wants her as their big, too? The craziness sets in. You feel protective over "your potential big" and try to find out who else she has been on a sister date with. You causally bring her up with your friends and make sure you make your claim.
During big/little week, you get different clues in your basket and you begin to question if she really will be your big after all. You over think things and worry that maybe she didn't pref you. "That's not her handwriting on the note," you think. You try not to get your hopes up and tell yourself that everything will work out the way it's supposed to. "There were plenty of other people I liked, too," you think to calm yourself down.
Finally, reveal comes. This has been the moment you were waiting for. You open the huge box with your name on it and there she is! She is finally your big and you are her little. You cry and hug and laugh. You wonder why you were so worried in the first place. After reveal is over, you text non-stop and for the rest of the nigh.t
And you finally understand what a big and little relationship is like.
