An Open Letter To My Future Big

I cannot wait to have you be beside me throughout my journey here at school and life.

An Open Letter To My Future Big
Illinois State University Alpha Gamma Delta

Dear Future Big,

Who knew that I would actually be here today saying that I will have a Big in about two weeks. I have been so stressed out trying to deal with balancing the school life and sorority life that I lost track of time. Can you believe that I have been in the sorority for a month now? It seems like just yesterday I was meeting you and the other 176 girls; it just hit me--I will soon have someone to look up to more than ever.

You already know who I am, and that kind of scares me. Do you want to scream every time you see me? Do you want to tell me already that I am your little? How did you decide to choose me?

I have no idea who you are. I am counting down the days until I can turn around after you tap my shoulder and see your beautiful loving face welcome me with open arms.

I bet you are beyond stoked to see my reaction and freak out when I realize that you are you. You are my BIG! So I just have a few things to say to you.

1. I will ask you a million questions.

I still have yet to figure out this sorority life, so I will probably text you about 20 times a day. I will ask you if my outfit for the night is super cute, if my roommate is being irrational, or I just need someone to drink wine and watch New Girl with.

2. I will look to you like my older sister.

I will look to you for everything. I will not know what do when I get a bad grade on an exam; I will not know what to do when all of our formals come around. I will always have someone to go to dinner or shopping with. I will always have someone by my side who I can say, yes she's my BIG sister.

3. I cannot wait to be spoiled.

I've been spending what feels like a million dollars on clothes that have my new home on them. We all have done the same thing when we were pledge class babies. Now you have well over 50 t-shirts and sweatshirts and have no idea what to do with them. I will gladly take care of them for you and pass them down to my little. I will wear them with pride; when everyone asks where I got it, I will say that my big sister got it for me.

4. I will forever cherish you.

I hope you know that since you decided to be my big, you are now an honorary bridesmaid in my future wedding. I may be single, but you are loved by me enough that you are already going to be holding a bouquet in my wedding. I am beyond glad to have you be by my side throughout absolutely everything.

I cannot thank you enough for you picking me to be your little. I cannot wait for these next few weeks where I am constantly guessing who you are. I also cannot wait for the moment when I learn who you are. My life as a sorority girl is just starting, and I am so glad that you will be a part of my journey here.

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."
