To my perfect little,

By the time this article is published, you will already know who I am, but I want you to know some important things about myself first. I am so excited to be your big. If I'm being completely honest with myself, I have been waiting for you since I first joined the sorority and got my own big. My big is amazing. She is selfless, kind, smart and caring. She has snuck into my residence hall and dragged me out of my room when I was having a rough day. Most importantly, she taught me what it means to be a big. I want you to know that I am here for you- all day, every day (in the summer, on or off campus and even after college). I am more than willing to drag you out of your dorm room to go off campus when you're having a rough day.

You have already taught me the meaning of self-sacrifice and what it means to put someone's needs in front of your own (during a time in our lives where selfishness is prevalent due to the college environment we are in). I am so proud to call myself your big and I can't wait to see what you accomplish during these trying years and even after college. I know you will do some amazing things. And while I know you would be just fine without me, I want you to know that I can help you and make things better when times get tough (or even for when the times are good). I will always be your number one fan and cheerleader. If you are participating in any sort of sporting event, a competition of some sort or hosting an event, I will be there without a second thought, cheering you on so loudly that you'll be embarrassed to tell people that I'm your big.

I will be your shoulder to cry on when times get tough and your advisor for all things sorority-related or just about life in general. I will listen to you complain about your major even though I may not understand what you're talking about. And if it's a school-related problem that I can't fix, I'll find someone with your major who can fix it. I will answer all your texts and phone calls (and try to answer the ones at 2 am, but no promises!). I don't know everything, but I know a few things, and if I don't know the answer, I will ask my big for help. I want you to know that you are my top priority and I consider you a part of my family outside of the sorority. So when life gets hard, remember that your big is here for you and when life is good, I'll be the one next to you to celebrate all the great things. I can't wait for all of our adventures.

Love,
The Sulley to Your Mike (aka Your Big)
