Dear Big,
Thank you for coming into my life and showing me what true friendship and Greek life is all about. Before my sorority days, I always used to get super annoyed my friends in Greek life obsessing over their bigs. I didn't get what the big deal was. Little did I know that would be me a few short years later.
When we talked during speed-dating I knew I wanted you as my big. I was confident with my decision as I put you as my number one choice, but I was slightly concerned because we are the same age. I was not sure if you were going to be a role model, but I was wrong. Once you revealed you were my big I was so excited for what the rest of our college years were going to be like. We have a perfect family and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Big and little relationships are like no other. Some are more distant and others are infatuated with each other. But in reality, every relationship is different. I think ours is amazing. No, we don't talk or see each other everyday. But I know you are always a phone call, text, or drunk FaceTime away. Being a big is a major responsibility if you think about it. You took on the role to guide me in the right direction and ensure I am doing what's best for my future in our chapter and in my life. Although sometimes I make some stupid mistakes (more often than most), I know you're always going to be there the next day to remind me everything is going to be okay. Then after I am okay, you will remind how stupid I am. You are a combination of my mom, a mentor, and my best friend. I am just so grateful to have you in my life.
I don't know what I would have done without you last semester. I am sure you are aware but those were the worst six months of my life. So much negativity was brought into my life, but you made things immensely better for me. If I didn't have you, I don't know how I would have survived. I am very stubborn and hard-headed about my feelings but you make it easy to open up. Well you kind of force me to, but it works! I don't like to open up because I don't want to bother anyone with my problems. Because let's face it, everyone has their own. But you make me feel like my issues are a priority to you. Sometimes you may be too concerned but I know you are looking out for my best interest. Whether you were feeding me pizza in bed or holding me while I was bawling my eyes out, I appreciate everything you have done for me.
You are the most inspirational and hard-working person I think I have ever met and I really do look up to you.You inspire me everyday to be the best I can be and you do the same with everyone else in your life. I am so lucky to call you my big, my best friend, and my person.
Love, your little
