Dear Big,

I came back to my dorm room from class today to find a surprise from you, and I’m beyond ecstatic to know I have a big sister watching over me. The number one reason I joined Greek life a month ago was to find my home, and there is no doubt in my mind I’ve found it. From an amazing bid night (which just so happened to be my birthday! Best present ever.) to getting to know my new sisters, it's been an incredible experience. I'm now surrounded by the most kind, intelligent group of girls I've ever met, and I know I ended up in the right place.

But now it’s time for the next step: to have a big sister! I am beyond excited to have you in my life and to share my sorority experience with you. I can’t wait to be able to turn to you for everything Greek life and more, from learning all about our organization, to figuring out what formal dress to wear, to bothering you asking what selfie angle makes me look best. I hope you’re ready for the most loyal and annoying little, because she’s right here!

Thank you so so much for leaving me the nicest gifts today and for already showing me so much love. As I go to classes and try to manage my busy schedule, you're taking the time behind the scenes to break into my room (but not in a breaking and entering kind of way) and leave me awesome things. Bid day may have been my birthday, but this is Christmas.

I can't wait to do everything even remotely big-little related together, and I really hope we'll be slaying the Instagram game. I'm sure we'll be throwing what we know together, and I hope you're prepared to take 100 pics for every post because I'm the worst.

I'm so excited to get to know you, as well as to meet your big! I'm fully expecting my grand-big to shower me in butterscotches and sugar packets every time I see her. Anything less will prove unsatisfactory. Please pass this message along.

Based on what I recieved today, I already know I'm going to love you. At this point, all I can do is allow the breaking and entering to continue, and hope that I live up to everything a little can be and more.

I can't wait to wear our letters together.

Love,

Your little

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
