The 5 Emotions Of Big/Little Season

...and all the sorority girls screamed.

The 5 Emotions Of Big/Little Season
Bethany Pruitt

It's that time of the year... bid day was a whirlwind of craziness and fun. But it's nothing compared to what's head—Big/Little reveal. As the weeks leading up turn into days, you'll experience every emotion throughout this stressful, rewarding process. Here are a couple natural emotions you'll be facing throughout this week as a sorority woman:


1. Nervousness

The call...

Where you anxiously wait in agony, staring at your phone every minute, running through every possible scenario in your head, until your phone finally rings and they tell you who wants to be your little. Did you hear that correctly? They said YOUR LITTLE. How exciting is that?! You immediately smile, scream, cry, (whichever your preference) as they say the new member's name and the phrase "your little" in the same sentence. The excitement has only begun. Now, it's time to get to work...

2. Devious Plotting

Anonymously terrorizing your little throughout the week. If this doesn't scream fun, I don't know what will. Big's look forward to acting out their devious plans in hopes of tricking their little so hard, they'll be confused as to who you even are. Get creative, have fun with it—it makes reveal that much sweeter.

3. Stress, stress, stress (aka crafting until your hands bleed)

Okay, well maybe not as far as bleeding (watch out for the hot glue gun though). However, the week leading up to reveal will be the ultimate test of your patience, creativeness and sanity. You'll laugh in delirium from being up all night painting, cry from making a mistake on a piece and question the decision why you even wanted to become a big. Oh, and can't forget to plan a reveal theme or matching t-shirts with your fam. You can't give up though, because let's be honest, you're already in love with your little (and you already spent way too much time/money/effort in those craft masterpieces).

4. Excitement/Curiosity

Learning anything and everything about your little. My personal favorite part: asking your little a thousand questions (anonymously, of course) about herself. Her favorite color combinations, candy, coffee order and music tastes are a must to know. You'll find yourself stalking her social media profiles so much just because you're already obsessed with her.

5. Relief. Joy. Love.

The sweet, sweet day has come: reveal day. Shake off those nerves, recap those roller coaster moments from the previous week and get excited as you get to meet your little officially now as her big. Be prepared for 2-minute long hugs, bruises from being tackled to the ground and loss of hearing from the cumulative screams from each girl in your sorority. Cherish these precious moments and take lots of pictures, because reveal day will be one for the books. For you and your little, it's the beginning of your story.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
