A Letter To My Little
Sami Holzman

Dear Little,

I never had the chance to write you a letter before your initiation, so I decided to do it now! Better late than never right?

I have wanted to become a big since the day I got my bid. I’m so glad you decided to go Greek and I’m so glad I get to call you my little. I still remember when you ran into your future big (aka me) and g-big's arms on bid day. We met each other in high school, which is unusual, but this sorority experience has brought us closer together than ever before.

I wanted to remind you about a few things:

I will always be your big.

As your big, I’ll do my best to simultaneously act like your parent, sister, mentor, and the best friend you could ask for. It’s my job to be there for you through thick and thin, through the highs and the lows. You can tell me anything without a fear of judgment. I’ll always offer you the best advice I can.

No matter what, no matter where life takes us, I will always be your big. We have a special bond unlike any other. You will always be an important person in my life. When I get married, have children, and achieve other milestones, I’m taking you along for the ride. Good luck getting rid of me.

You are awesome.

You’re a very strong person and you are not afraid to speak your mind. You are full of ideas, greatness, and talent. It's impossible to take a serious picture with you. You sparkle when you smile and you can handle my sass and throw it back at me. Thank you for being you.

I will always be there.

With your crazy schedule and the activities you’re involved in, I know you can get overwhelmed. Just remember that I’m always here if you want to get coffee or just lie on your floor and vent about life.

You will never be alone. I will go with you to mixers and sisterhoods. I will get weekly (or daily) dinners with you. I will watch Netflix with you and go out to sushi with you. I will hang out with you anytime you want, no matter how busy we are. I will always protect you when things get tough. Even after we graduate, I’ll only be a text away.

When you first joined this sorority, I’m sure you had no idea what you were getting yourself into. Throughout this journey, you have inspired me to become a better person and a better role model for you. I can’t wait to watch you grow within this amazing sisterhood. You are going to do great things. Just know that you are so loved by your grand-big and me. We will be your supporters through anything and everything.

Love,

Your Big

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
