An Open Letter to My Little
Author: Erin Sweeney

Dear Little,

I knew from day one of recruitment I needed to have you in Alpha Delta Pi, and inmy family. You were everything I believe myself to be and better and I couldn't let any other sorority have you. Yes that's selfish, no I do not care.

When I was first going into recruitment I was petrified for what was going to come. You only have 20 minutes a round to talk to girls and convince them that they could be an amazing part of your sorority. How is that even humanly possible? I take an hour just to figure out what I want to wear most days. But when you walked through the door the first round all my nerves went away, it was just like catching up with one of my BFFs from home.

Shoutout to my little straight from Long Island. As wild, carefree, and OCD as me. I couldn't be happier you chose to come home to ADPi and become not only my sister, but my best friend, and now my little. I'm sorry for putting you through emotional distress and telling you I wasn't your big all week, but I wanted the surprise to be special, just like you

As your big I promise to be there for your 24/7 whether it be for boy advice, to stuff our faces, to have late night car jams, and to be your "cool mom". I promise to constantly motivate you when you wanna give up but also force you to go out with me when we're swamped with work. I promise to take as many pictures we need until we find one that's "instaworthy". I promise to send you ugly snapchats every morning after. I promise to embarrass you at every opportunity I have. I promise to spoil you (if you're nice to me). Most importantly, I promise to be the best big sister I can be.

I can't wait for all the memories, laughs, and stories that are yet to come. Thanks for finally giving me a little sister to fight with. I hope I don't let you down. And if I do, you can yell at me for it later. Love to love ya little, welcome home.

XoXo,

Biggie

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible? Superman and Batman have nothing on being invisible with their superhero abilities. Here are some things that you could do while being invisible, because being invisible can benefit your social life too.

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.

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:
