Yeah, sorry sorority gals are never going to keep quiet about the big/little process.
If you got to pick and love your own big sister or little sister, you wouldn't shut up about it either. Yet, the experience of going through the process as a potential big is VASTLY different from going through it as a potential little.
Here's how:
1. You want to come off as mature.
You want to prove that you can be an adept mentor, showing potential littles that you know big sisters are supposed to be know-it-alls and that you do, in fact, know it all already for them.
2. You get to think of ways to spoil potential littles.
Oh, this one is obsessed with Harry Potter? Guess who's getting a lifetime supply of butterbeer.
3. You have your fam to consider.
Littlest should get along well with older fam members so that they can bond and get closer too. She's not just your littlest; she's the fam's littlest. But with that...
4. You have your fam to fangirl with.
When one of the potential littles is acting SO CUTE that you just can't stand it, you have your fam to discuss it with. You get to tell them how much fun you're having in the process and you get to bond over what it was like for them when they were potential bigs.
5. You have more to talk about.
You get to talk about your experiences within your sorority and you probably have more college experience, in general, to bring into the conversation. You no longer have to rely chiefly on high school experiences to talk to your date--WOOHOO!
6. You get all excited not because of what you'll get out of the process, but because of what you'll be able to give.
Suddenly, you know that you're going to be the big sister. And you find yourself being not able to wait for ways to be there for your little and help guide them.
7. You already know how awesome it's gonna be.
When you get a little that you can connect with, you already know how strong and impactful that bond is going to be.
