There is nothing quite like the relationship you’ll develop with your Big, and it’s definitely not one you’ll be able to recreate with anyone besides her. She acts like your protective older brother, at times like your worried mother, but all in all, she’s your best friend. She’s the girl who will keep all your little secrets, and she’s the girl who will support you through everything. Having a big sister is one of the most valuable opportunities of being a part of any sorority, one that you should never take for granted.
Big, I promise to always make time for you any time you need me.
Whether it’s 12 p.m. and I’m in class, or it’s 12 a.m. and about to fall asleep, I will be there for you. I’ll be your shoulder to cry on when a boy breaks your heart, I’ll be your cheerleader when you’re finishing a paper, and I’ll be your dance partner after a stressful week. Anything you need, know you can count on me.
Big, I promise to always be happy for you in all of your endeavors.
Your life is so important to me, and I will always try to help you choose the best path that will get you to where you want to go. One day, you are going to end up exactly where you’re meant to be, and I can’t wait to see where I fit into that puzzle. Remember that I am always here to support you.
Big, I promise to always be honest with you, especially when you need it most.
I will not always agree with the decisions you make or the things you do. The truth might be brutal, and it might not be what you want to hear, but I’ll tell you what I think. I’ll respect your choices, and I’ll let you make your own, but I’m here when you need a second opinion.
Big, I promise to always hold your hand when things get hard.
I will help you achieve your goals, and I’ll point you in the right direction. I will always push you to do your best, even if that means me slightly judging you when you ditch class to eat sushi. Everyone makes mistakes, but I won’t let you sulk in them for too long.
Big, I promise to always love you, and love you extra when you can’t love yourself.
As your Little, I look up to you. You’re my role model, and I want you to see yourself the way I see you: strong-willed, determined, powerful. I think you are amazing for this world, and there will never be a day when I don’t remind you.
You are a light in my life, and it didn’t occur to me how much I needed someone like you until I had you. Thank you for loving me already. I can’t wait to take on the world together.
