Dear Future Big,

I remember being a sophomore in high school and looking up Pinterest pictures of big/little reveals. I had no idea that one day I'd finally be in a sorority just weeks away from meeting you for the first time. I grew up romanticizing Greek life, and I can't wait to tell you everything.

So many people think having a big is just about partying together, but I really do want you to be the big sister I never had. As the oldest child, I never had an older girl to relate to besides my mom. I want more than just seeing you in the halls of Theta, taking Instagram pictures together, or giving each other rides to places.

I want to stay up until 3 a.m. and have deep belly laughs with you. I want you to be the first person to hear all of my good news, funny stories, and all about each embarrassing time I trip in public. I want to have true, genuine fun with you, like the kind you have with your best friend since middle school. I want you to share my ridiculous sense of humor and always be down to act stupid with me.

I want you to be the first person I call when the boy I'm seeing breaks up with me. I can be a fairly private person, but I want you to become my #1 person I can be 100% vulnerable around. I want to feel comfortable telling you everything about my past, my goals, and why I am the way I am. I love being outgoing, but I want you to be the first person I look for in a crowded room.

I want you to be the person I tell my daughter about one day, when I'm telling her why she should go Theta. I want you to have fingerprints on all my college memories and insane stories. I want you to give me the "o.k." on my future husband one day in the near future.

I can hardly wait for the next three years of having you here with me. It will be such a joy to know you. In the words of Yang and Mere, "you're my person."
