Big, little reveal is one of the most exciting milestones of a sorority woman’s journey. Because it is big, little season I have done some personal reflecting on my Delta Gamma experience. I joined Delta Gamma when I was a freshman, and that is when I got my big. Last year, I picked up a little and my big became a grand big (aka "G-big"). I haven’t quite processed the fact that my little recently just took a little, for it means I am now a grand big.

My big has been one of the most influential people in my life since coming to SDSU. I genuinely do not know where I would be today without the constant love and support my big gives me on a daily basis.

Being a big means not only being a best friend, but also a role model, mentor and the big sister she never had. It means providing guidance, being honest and serving as a support system when she needs it the most. Being a big also means being a shoulder to cry on, especially during venting sessions when boys are acting dumb. She even has a motto that has caught on to my sorority: BRL. The acronym stands for "boys ruin lives" because indeed, boys do sometimes ruin our lives. On a serious note, being a big is a commitment to their little to be a champion in their absence, and a friend always.

In regards to providing guidance, my big has done this in multiple aspects of my life, especially throughout my college experience. As a first year student I wanted to be as involved as I could. My big inspired me to run for a position in Delta Gamma and I can confidently say that I have exponentially grown as a leader and a young adult because of my current position. She has also encouraged me to join other student organizations on campus that have truly shaped my time here at San Diego State University.

I am so incredibly blessed to have the big that I do, and I hope that I have made an impact on my little’s life in the same way she has made mine. The big, little relationship is truly something special, and something i wouldn’t trade for the world.
