To my big,

I’ve been trying to write this letter for quiet some time now, but I haven’t felt until now that I had the right words to say. I even backtracked and thought about painting a canvas, but we both know I’d probably be even worse at that! So, here it goes:

Big, you are nothing short of phenomenal! You amaze me, and everyone around you with your generosity, love, and compassion for others.

When I began going on “sister dates” at the beginning of the fall semester I didn't quite know what I was looking for in a big. After all, I didn’t know much about Greek Life in general at that point. I kept hearing “you will meet the right person” or “you will just know.” From the moment we met, I was hoping you’d be my big! Your smile was and still is contagious, and I was in total awe of your passions in life. Meeting you was the first major step towards me feeling at home in Chi Omega.

One of the things I admire most about you is that you are a person of incredible strength. You take what life has given you with open arms, never complaining and always working towards your goals and dreams. Not everyone can do that, can look at circumstances that maybe aren't what you want and say, "Oh yeah, I got this!" I truly believe that you will one day be a famous politician or head of the FBI, and I will have the honor of saying, "Yep, I knew her back when she was just an undergrad.”

As we've grown closer, I have realized what a true friend I have in you. We can do anything from grabbing coffee, playing a game of softball or laser tag, camping, or even study together! And I cannot wait to continue to grow closer with you. Thank you for accepting me as me. Joining Chi Omega and meeting you has changed my life for the better. I have made friendships and gained confidence that I know will last a lifetime, starting with my friendship with you.

Sincerely,

Your Little
