To My Sorority Big Sister
HaleyWilliams

Becoming a part of a sorority is great in a lot of ways. While being able to make new friends, you also have leadership opportunities, you can make a difference in communities by volunteering, but it can all be a little scary at first. I realized I was finding my home as I got to know everyone in the house just a little bit better. On the day of Big/Little Reveal, I knew I was finally in the right place. Without my Big, nothing would be the same, and frankly, Greek life would not be the same for me. Although my Big graduated, I still love her, and I have never been able to thank her for all the big and little things she has done.

Thank you for taking me under your wing, teaching me what it's like to be part of a sisterhood. Thank you for spending a couple minutes out of your day to help me learn the Greek Alphabet, even when I made the stupidest mistakes.

I never knew who you were, well I didn't know anyone at the time. The first time I met you, I was walking back to my dorm from the homecoming game, and you came up and started talking to me.

The night of the first mixer, I did not know what I was doing, but I have never felt so comfortable talking to someone. When I found out you were my Big, I could not contain my excitement; it had to have been more exciting than Bid Day. You've taught me everything I've needed to know from how social events work, what exactly slate was, and why I needed to study.

Thank you for being there for me and listening to me complain about my homework load, and those professors I do not like all that much. Even if you have to listen to me complain about someone that is making me mad, I know you'll give me the best answer. You have been a great role model for me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be half the sorority women I am today.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
