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

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
