They say that sisters are the fairytales of life… they’ve been there since once upon a time and will stay there until happily ever after. I always thought there would be nothing more exciting than getting my big. She was absolutely perfect and loved me just as much as I loved her. She wanted to do everything with me and instantly took me under her wing because the relationship between a big and little is the fastest growing relationship I’ve ever seen before. But time goes by and we all grow up and eventually it came time for my big to graduate.
Of course, I protested the whole way and thought that if I fought hard enough I could change the fates and she would stay. But then I experienced something just as amazing as getting my big… getting my littles. They were the most genuine and loving humans I had ever met. They appreciated me smothering them with love and smothered me right back. I made a promise to my big, to my littles, to myself. I promised my big I wouldn’t let her down, I’d be just as good of a big to them as she was to me. I promised my littles I would always be just a phone call away, no matter where the world takes me. I promised myself I’d give them my whole heart… and I did. But time goes by and we all grow up and eventually it’s come time for me to graduate.
My littles thought that if they fought hard enough, they could change the fates and I would stay. But my time has come to enter the real world and begin life after college. My little most likely will be taking one of her own this semester and I know that she’ll be just as amazing her. I know that they’ll smother each other with love and develop an inseparable bond. But, of course, time goes by and we all grow up and eventually it will come her time to graduate and begin her life after college.
We all will leave one day, but it’s what we do while we’re here that matters. The relationships and memories tat we make and the legacy we leave behind. Honestly, when it comes to your sisters there will never be enough time together. The amazing thing about sisterhood that I’ve found in Sigma Delta Tau is that we will all begin life after college one day, but we will never begin life after SDT… because it truly is not just an experience of four years, but for life. The relationships you make and the experiences you cherish, will last you a lifetime. So please, enjoy every minute of it, spend as much time together as possible, and forgive those you thought you never would because that is what sisterhood is about.
