For those that have the opportunity to be involved in Greek life during college, one of the best perks is being given a big. A big is typically a fellow member that is older and was initiated into the organization in a class prior to yours. While both fraternities and sororities have bigs and littles, there is a unique bond that is formed with bigs and littles in sororities. Here are just a few of the perks that come with having an awesome big:

1. She will always tell you the truth.

You don't have to worry about wondering what she is really thinking because you can trust your big to tell you the truth when you ask. She tells you exactly what you need to hear.

2. She is your go-to dinner date.

When you're craving your favorite restaurant after a long week of exams and homework, you know who to call.

3. She doesn't judge.

You can tell her anything and she definitely won't judge. She gives great advice since she has probably been there and done that too.

4. She listens to your rants.

When most people couldn't care less about your daily musings and frustrations, your big doesn't mind. Lay it all out there in a judgement-free zone.

5. You share mutual obsessions.

Whether it be an obsession with Mexican food or a deep appreciation for cats, you can bond over the things you love. You wouldn't have been matched as big and little if you didn't love some of the same things.

6. She pushes you to be a better you.

You keep each other from doing something stupid and give you motivation when you feel like giving up. You celebrate successes in life and build each other up after a loss.

7. You support each other.

No matter how far-fetched each other's dreams and goals seem, you support each other. When life throws you curveballs, you have each other to lean on and to listen with an open ear.
