A Letter To My Big

We don’t really do sappy, but this might be.

A Letter To My Big
Chi Omega Fraternity

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

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
