If you give a girl a Little, she’s bound to squeal for joy.
Because she’s getting an addition to the family, and any addition to the family is a blessing. Getting a Little means becoming a Big. And now as a Big, you’re entering a whole new world within the sorority. You’re now the role model: the girl she looks up to, the one that she can go to whenever things get tough. And you’re more than happy to take that title, especially for the girl who you have as your Little.
If you give a girl a little, crafting becomes her middle name.
Because Pinterest is our best friend, and would we really be sorority girls if we didn’t craft? I went to Hobby Lobby and Michaels so often I think the employees started to catch on. Spending countless nights crafting and making the most perfect presents for my Little was all I did the week before reveal. And although my back is in complete pain from hunching over and crafting my heart out, nothing can beat the look on my girl’s face when I handed her the tons of canvases and clothes.
If you give a girl a little, she’ll learn that surprises are hard.
Because spending a week wanting to cheer and celebrate with the new little one but not being able to say a word is torturous! I have a class with the girl who became my Little and we sit right next to each other. Not being able to tell her that she’s my Little and showing her all the presents I made her was killing me. And opening my computer and phone next to her was pretty much impossible since everything was flooded with my crafting ideas and plans for the big reveal. Thank goodness I don't have to pretend anymore that I didn't know what presents you were getting every day and trying to not slip up when talking to you. If reveal week taught me anything, it's that keeping secrets can be really hard especially when you can't tell the one person you want to.
If you give a girl a little, you give the little a new family.
Because they’re the future, the ones who will carry on the traditions of not just the sorority, but your family. You’ve now given them their home within the huge umbrella we call our sisterhood. And before we know it, they'll be the ones getting a Little, feeling the excitement we have felt, and prepping for the girls who will add on to our family tree...and we'll feel even older than we do already.
Welcome to your families, girls! We love you all so much and are so happy to finally be able to call you ours. Thanks for making us Bigs and we can't wait to make you all proud.
