Being in a sorority means you have the ability to gain friendships that will last lifetimes, as well as have a bond with some of the most amazing girls on your campus. In my opinion, joining a sorority was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Once you accept a bid into a chapter, you eventually go through what they call Big/Little week. This is the best "Christmas in October" ever. At least it was for me. My big was the absolute cutest. When I first met her, it was the day I moved into college. We sparked a conversation and became good friends. Then rush week happened and now we are sisters. But more than that, she is my Big!

Standing inside of Holland Hall in a red plaid shirt, jeans, and boots turned backwards waiting to meet my big was literally the most stressful time of the entire sorority happenings. Of course, I wanted it to be Courtney, and when I saw it was her, I broke into the ugly Kim K cry. I promise, it was ugly.

Being able to have a big is awesome and all, but there is even more to it. I have a GRANDBIG too. Which that just means that my big has a big and we are a cute little family. I love my amaXIng big and grandbig and would not want to trade them for anything. The relationship we had before I was their little was strong, but now it's even stronger and will continue to grow and evolve to something massive.

I don't know how I got so lucky to have the most amazing big and grand big out there! XOXI
