For The Little Brother Who Grew Up When You Weren't Looking

For The Little Brother Who Grew Up When You Weren't Looking

Christine Perniciaro

When we were younger, it was so much easier to see you as my baby brother. I think it is because you were so little and innocent. I will always think of you like the tiny little boy with big brown eyes. I always have felt the need to protect you, but I think that is just part of being a big sister. I would get so mad if I heard anyone being mean to you. Nobody was allowed to be mean to my little brother except me because let's be honest I was probably the meanest person to you, but that is also just part of being a big sister.

For The Little Brother About To Start His Second Semester Of College

Kelsey Dietrich

Dear Little Brother,

It makes me laugh a little typing that because you are most certainly not so little anymore. Although you have been way taller than me for several years now, even when I wear heels, this year I have become aware of just how fast you are growing up as you packed up your stuff and moved away to college. It hit me even harder after we were both at home for Winter Break the last few weeks and I was able to see how much you have matured after surviving your first semester of college.

Honest Bid Day Expectations

Is bid day really the best day?

If you know anyone in a sorority, like myself, you've probably heard them say, or seen an Instagram caption, "bid day, best day." However, as a new member is bid day really all it's cracked up to be?

Personally I really trust the recruitment process, but I also don't really want to ever go through recruitment again. I did it and it worked out amazingly for me and gave me some of my closest friends, but it's not an experience I would do again.

A Letter To My Big

To my big,

Becoming a member of a sorority is wonderful in different ways, but I will not lie, it can also be stressful. During recruitment, you meet so many new people and through it all, I was personally terrified of being judged. After all, recruitment is pretty much speed dating with 30 different girls. However, I was lucky enough to have found a home within the walls of Alpha Gamma Delta.

From the little sister to the grandma, these are all five stages of what you will go through during your time in college. Everyone starts as the little sister and most of us will probably be in the grandma stage by the time that we are done with college.

College gives us lots of life experiences which contribute to us growing through the stages and becoming wiser. We may want to say that only freshmen year us would respond to 2 a.m. texts but let's face it, from the little sister to the grandma this is something that we all do.

College Greek

I Chose My Biology Degree Over A Sorority, And I Still Enjoyed My College Years

College is the best time of your life, whether you go Greek or not.

I did not go Greek, but some of my best friends did. I encourage you to do what is best for you. For me, it was not Greek life, but for you, a sorority might be just what you need in college. Trust me, either way, you will have fun and gain tons of memories. My opinion might be different from your's, but all in all, we are all very different.

Honest Bid Day Expectations

Is bid day really the best day?

While you're rushing it's all leading up to the excitement that is bid day.

Honestly, if I didn't see a friend there I think this day would have been very different.

Now to be fair, I've only experience bid day from the new member side.
