A letter to my little on initiation week

A Letter To My Little
Gillian Howlett

My Dearest little,

Happy Initiation week! This Saturday, you will no longer be a new member but instead will become an active member of Phi Lamb. In a way, nothing will change, but in another, everything changes. I always said I would never join a sorority and I didn’t. I joined a sisterhood, a family, and something so much more. I hope that a year from now when you are preparing to initiate my g-little, that this experience means as much to you as it has to me. I hope that Phi Lamb is everything you dreamed it would be and that you grow even closer to your sisters than you are today.

I am so glad I get to initiate you into the active body of Phi Lamb this week! I've been anxiously awaiting this special time since my initiation last December. It's so hard to believe that it's time for you to be initiated! This week is going to be crazy since its dead week and initiation week, but it will be well worth it in the end!

I am so glad you found Phi Lamb and decided to join our amazing family. I honestly could not imagine having anyone else as my little and I am so grateful that I am a part of your life. Even though I've only known you since September, I feel like I've known you forever! I cannot wait to see what the coming years bring us and our little family! I am so happy for you and sooner than you know you'll be getting your own little and initiating her!

As your time as a new member ends and your time as an active begins, I want you to know that even though this chapter of your Phi Lamb life closes, being an active is just as fun and just as special! I will support you no matter what, whether its choosing to run for exec team, or making the choice to go inactive (I hope that never happens, but if it does, I am here for you. Always.) I am here. I believe in you. I love you and I thank God for you each day. I can’t believe you’re my little! Congratulations on becoming an Active!

Love,

Your Big

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
