How Having a Little Changes Everything

Getting a little is a big change. You're no longer the baby of the family. You need time to adjust.

Oct 13, 2014

This is my second year being in a sorority, and I’ve realized that there is nothing like getting a little. As a result, there have been changes in my behavior - just from the realization that I am not the baby in the family anymore.

1. How am I not the bottom of the family stack anymore?

2. I really wish I was taller, because my little does not squat low enough. Come on ladies, feel the burn we all had to do it.

3. OMG I HAVE A LITTLE (constantly being reminded of in my head).

4. The fact that now I am watching all the boys who try to talk to my little, because she obviously cannot protect herself from these preying older boys. Boys, remember the bigs are always watching our babies.

5. Randomly feeling old and the thought of being a grandbig next year brings tears to my eyes. I mean, can’t I just be in college forever (without the school part of course)?

6. Oh the bank account is always fun to look at after getting a little. I mean little, I love you, but you stole all of my money.

7. Going out to a party and yelling “LITTLE” to get her attention ... and literally 8 people think you're talking to them too. Sorry but you don’t have a name anymore. It’s "little" from now on.

8. All of the “big like little” moments are more prevalent, and you don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

9. Your Instagram being taken over by pictures of you and your little. There’s nothing better than seeing 500 Insta posts of the same pose with a different filter.

10. Coming to the realization that no one will mean the same to you as your little.

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
