Dear Biggy,
It has only been a little over a month that I have known you but I have already learned so much from you. I knew I wanted to be your friend the minute you took me by the hand during preference round, who knew you would become such a big part of my life in such a short time. You were one of the reasons why I felt so comfortable entering the Sigma Kappa house. I felt the instant connection with you, that you genuinely cared what was happening in my life, and that is something I haven't experienced in so long.
When Big-Little Reveal Day came around I had nothing but butterflies in my stomach. I was so nervous to go to the house because I had no idea who my potential big was! Of course, I was the second girl to stand in front of the curtain, my hands were literally shaking and my heart was racing. As the girls counted to 3 I felt my stomach drop, and then the curtain dropped, and there you were standing in front of me with open arms. Tears of joy entered my eyes as I hugged you and I didn't want to let go! I had finally gotten my big sister, and it was you.
I have learned so many little things from you in such a short time, but each one has helped me grow as a person. As I watch you do your make-up, I learn new tips. As I see how you dress, I learn different styles and combinations. As I listen to you talk about the people you love, I have a new appreciation for the people I love. You have changed my perspective on how people treat me and have taught me to not settle for less. I have watched you take care of the ones you love, and have learned to take care of the ones I love. Each day, you teach me something different. One of the biggest lessons you have taught me, is to know what I deserve. If friendships aren't fulfilling and full of positivity, it's okay to let go. If my relationship isn't doing well, it's okay to keep trying. If I'm having a rough time, it's okay to cry. If something is making me feel down about myself, it's okay to change.
As fall moves into winter, I cannot wait to see our friendship grow. It feels like I have always known you, you bring comfort in my life. We have shared many laughs and a few lessons along the way. I would have never thought someone like you would come into my life and changed the way I feel about certain situations and perspectives. I truly think you are a blessing in disguise, that you are here at the perfect time in my life to guide me through my journey apart of Sigma Kappa and to be the best friend I've been waiting for.
Thank you Biggy for already being the best big, best friend, and best sister a girl could have. I am so excited to go through Initiation with you watching over me. I know every time I fall you will pick me up and I will always pick you up, even at your hardest times. You have already impacted my life in such a positive way and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes us. As you remind me when I'm upset; it's okay, and it will always be okay in the end.
Love with one heart & one way,
Your Little
