13 Tips For New Bigs

1. Make time for your little.


2. Spoil your little.


3. Let your little know if you are worried about her decisions.

Your little is human, and there are going to be times in her life where she will want to do things that aren't the best for her, for representing your letters, or for her relationship with you. Make sure you take the time to explain those things to your Little and how she can make better choices.


4. When she still makes bad decisions, be there for her.

Understand that your little will still do some of those things anyway.,


5. Make your little break-up boxes, get-well soup, recruitment care packages, and motivational letters.


6. Let your little know how important she is to you.


7. Take pictures with your little.

8. Buy your little her first pair of letters.

9. Be your little's guide through sorority life.

Remember how clueless you were when you decided to go through recruitment and accept a bid to a sorority? Those were good days. Remember how your big explained to you the difference between a date night and semi-formal? Or told you how long your feet would hurt after recruitment? Congratulations! It is now your turn to work with your little and make sure that she knows everything about your organization and about fraternity and sorority life. Be sure to ask your own big if your still have questions.


10. Forgive your little.


11. Be your little's biggest supporter and best friend.


12. Be the big you know your little deserves.


13. Give your little all of the love you have.

She is the future of your organization and will represent your letters just as much as you do. Just make sure you give your little the best experience of her life. Enjoy being a big -- it's truly the best.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
