7 Ways Being A Big Is A BIG Difference Than Being A Little
Sammy Serido

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.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
