After getting a bid everyone knows the best thing is getting a Big. However, there is this odd stigma attached to getting twins and honestly I bought into it too. I didn't want a Twin. I was selfish. I wanted my Big to spoil me and only me. I wanted my Big to only go on Starbucks dates with me. I wanted my Big to only be worried about me when she couldn't find me after a mixer. Then Big-Little week rolled around, and I soon discovered I had a Twin. I was a little scared, but my Big had spoiled me well so far, so I did what any sane girl would do, and Facebook-stalked the crap of my soon-to-be Twin.
She seemed normal, but I wasn't really sure (she hadn't changed her profile picture since high school graduation so, I didn't have a lot to go off of). Then the two of us met at Big-Little reveal. I thought the two of us would be competing for our family's attention, but no. Rather, we were both super awkward, but you would be to if you just met someone who was now not someone you didn't know in your pledge class and now your Twin! That awkward stage lasted maybe a week at best. Now we laugh at the fact we were ever not close. So, here are some of the best things about getting a Twin.
Instant friendship!
If you are anything like me, you probably didn't really know anyone in your pledge class. There were a few girls here and there you recognized from your dorm or your accounting class, but no true friends. Getting a Twin means instant friendship. You guys already have something in common: your Big! If your Big liked both of you enough to take you both as littles you probably have more in common too!
Someone to go to always go to events with.
Sometimes your Big is too busy and cool doing sophomore things to go with you to things, or maybe you have to attend pledge class-only meetings. With a Twin, you already have someone to roll squad deep with. You are never ever a loner from Day 1.
Someone who gets all your freshman year struggles.
Your Big is great. She is beautiful and experienced. She has her life together-- or at least just looks like it. She's great, but she dealt with the problems you are facing 365 days ago (or more). Sometimes you just need someone going through the same thing to be by your side. 
You guys can team up.
Birthday presents for your G-Big? TEAM. Weird guy flirting with you? TEAM. Need to go shopping for a formal dress? TEAM. No matter what you have someone in your corner at all times. 
Extra closet
Like any sorority girl knows, another Sister = another wardrobe. But having a Twin is better because you likely have the same taste and you are going to the same events. And you also have no shame in telling her what looks good and what doesn't.
Absolutely NO judgment.
She's literally your Day 1 girl. You both teared up cause you both were so #blessed to get the best Big and be included in the best fam. She saw you with your first questionable frat boy hookup. You've cried together at 1 a.m. She's seen you finish an entire pizza by yourself and was already calling Domino's for another order of cheesey bread.
She's your person.
No one gets you quite like she does. Call it Twin telepathy or whatever, but you guys just click on a whole new level no quite gets. Love you Katie and can't wait to spoil our future Littles together!!!!
