10 Gift Ideas For Sorority 'Big & Little' That Won't Break The Bank

Sorority big little week...a time where girls spend most of their time trying to embody a color-coordinated display set up they randomly found on Pinterest. Each school and sorority chapter is different, but most involve gift giving. Now, this personally stressed me out a little bit, not to mention the fact that i was taking on not just one, but TWO littles (I know, I'm crazy). I wanted to spoil them but also found myself not necessarily having the funds to do this. So, let's get ~crafty~

1. Flowers

Flowers are one of those gifts that are so easy, yet so meaningful. With two littles, you can even split the flowers up and save some money.

2. Mason jars

Fill these with anything and everything. They're super cute and can be used after the festivities are over, too. I put candy, gift cards, small items and more inside of the jars and wrapped some ribbon around to make them more visually appealing.

3. Fuzzy socks

You can never have too many pairs of fuzzy socks and they're a given item that your little will love!

4. Picture frame

Buy a picture frame and stick a cute picture of the two of you inside, or if you're trying to keep the week of the reveal a secret, put a little note inside that reads something along the lines of "Insert a cute picture of us here!"

5. Stickers

If you walk around a college campus where Greek life is present, you'll most likely see Greek letters on laptops, water bottles, cars, etc. You can't go wrong with purchasing some stickers of your sorority letters for your little to deck out her new gear.

6. Face masks

Face masks are cheap, small, and you can pile them up to make a cute display. I know that my littles were so excited to get some skin treatment and even got some for myself so that we could all have a face mask party.

7. Canvas paintings

If you have enough paint and consider yourself an artistic person, you've got a huge advantage and can create some unique and personal paintings for your little. Pinterest has lots of ideas for paintings that pertain to sorority related designs, but also has many ideas for trendy wall art as well.

8. Greek letters

Wooden greek letters that you can paint are SO appreciated by the little sisters. They would love nothing more than to be able to hang them up in their dorm and show off their cute letters. There are so many different designs and variations available to personalize the letters, be creative!

9. T-SHIRTS

Your little is relatively new to the sorority and probably doesn't have too many t-shirts to wear around yet. I had an excessive amount of shirts, some that I never even wear, from a bunch of events and some that my big passed down to me. Trade shirts with some sisters and give your little some tees so she can represent your letters.

10. Snacks

Your little, or any girl, will definitely appreciate some free food. Purchase a basket and put a few of her favorite snacks and candy inside, you can maybe even add some colored frilly filling inside to make it look fuller and cuter!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
