An Open Letter To My Big

You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

An Open Letter To My Big
Breanna Sahr

Dear Big,

First things first, I want to say thank you. Thank you for answering all my questions during rush week, no matter how crazy they were. Thank you for comforting me when I am having a bad day, for reassuring me and always looking out for me. Thank you for making me laugh through the tears and always letting me know that you are there for me no matter what. Thank you for being you, my hilarious, beautiful, political science nerd of a big who never wants to hear any scary stories but is always down for some ice cream even when it is really cold outside.

The week leading to the Big-Little reveal was probably one of the longest of my entire life. I've never been given so many random gifts before and each day was a new revealing detail that told me absolutely nothing of who you were (or maybe I'm just bad at guessing)! Even though I had no idea that it was you who had given me all the gifts, you came to ask me what I had been given every day as if you had no clue who my Big was. Finally, when you were revealed to be my Big, I had to hold myself back from jumping into your arms because I was so excited and overjoyed that it was you.

Though you haven't been my Big for a long time, and we met each other over a year ago when we were both confused first-year students trying to navigate college, it sure seems like we've been a part of the same family for years. You and I definitely were a one-to-one match and I am so proud to be your Little.

Being in a sorority has helped me grow as a person. You have been with me from the very first day of rush, encouraging me and always lending a listening ear and something funny to say that will make me laugh (it's true, I think you're hilarious!).

So, even though you always manage to make me jump with fright no matter what time of day you knock on my door, you always end up saying exactly the right thing and I wouldn't choose any other Big in the world but you. You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

Thank you for being you.

Love,

Your Little

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
