This fall, I went through sorority recruitment at Florida Atlantic University, and I found my home with the amazing sisters of Theta Phi Alpha. I went through my New Member process and was initiated, and now I am able to call these lovely women my sisters. I’ve not had the chance to meet everyone yet, but I have met some truly amazing ladies in my short time in this sorority. However, one woman in particular stands out among the crowd; my Big, or my “big sister.”
My lovely Big,
From the day I met you, I felt like we connected. I was so worried I wouldn’t meet anyone who I felt at home with, but when I met you, I had hoped you were it (after some intense social media stalking, of course). When Big/Little Week came around, I hoped with everything I had that I would get you, and I was ecstatic when I found out you wanted me too. But even then I didn’t know how much I would come to love you.
You never fail to understand my obsession with the perfect selfie, and you’ve taught me the importance of the laughing pose, even if I may have not perfected it yet. I know I can go to you with any problem I have and you’ll give me the best advice you can. We don’t hang out 24/7, but that just makes me treasure the time I do get to spend with you. We always have fun, no matter what we’re doing, even if it’s just a much needed Chipotle run during finals week.
I look up to you like the older sister I never had and value the trust you place in me. Thank you for being the best Big I could ask for, and for giving me advice when you’re probably tired of hearing me blabber on and on. Thank you for being patient with me and welcoming me with open arms into your little family. I look forward for the years to come, and can’t wait to watch you accomplish your goals, and for you to cheer me on as I accomplish mine.
All the love,
Your Little.
