7 Promises To My Big
Abby Latta

Since joining a sorority, I have come to find that Big/Little week was my absolute favorite. But not for the reasons you may be thinking. Yes, the week full of gifts was incredible and I cannot wait to shower my future Little with gifts, but my favorite part about Big/Little week was actually finding out who my Big was. Now, and ever since that night, my Big and I have been so close, and we grow closer every day. We have just spent the last summer apart, and I actually hated every second of not being close to her. She has done so much for me, helped me pass math, pick out dresses for Greek events, to helping me decide what to do with problems in my personal life.
I know that when she took me on as her Little she promised to be there for me, to guide me, and much more. So Big, here are my promises to you.

1. I promise to always be there for you.

Big and Little relationships are not something to be messed with, especially when a crazy Little is involved...I'm that crazy Little. <3

3. I promise to always try to help you keep your life together.

Considering the fact that neither one of us can manage to keep things together at all times, this should be interesting, but I swear that I will always try my hardest to help you keep your life in one somewhat solid piece.

4. I promise to always go out with you

Because partying with you is the best kind of partying.

5. I promise to always hate your exes


You will always be my big, and I will always protect you, therefore I will always hate your exes for hurting you.

5. I promise to always try to give you my best advice

I know I don't always know exactly what to say, but I promise to always try my hardest to make you feel better...even if that means making you pizza rolls and ice cream.

6. I promise to always make sure you know how incredible you are

Big, I love you! You are so incredibly important to me and I need you to always know how amazing you are. You are one of the smartest people I have ever met and I cannot even express how much you mean to me, so I promise to always do my best to make sure you know that you're actually the best. ...does that make sense?

7. I promise to always be the best little I can possibly be

You being my Big has been the greatest part of my college days, so I promise to always be the best little I can be. Whether that is keeping you on track at the library or holding your hair back, I will be the best for you!


You are the greatest Big I ever could've asked for and I would never imagine having another person. Thank you for always being my lunch date, my shoulder, and my confidant. I am so lucky that I get to return the favor.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
