Your sisterhood bond with your Little is an essential part of Greek Life. Throughout the much anticipated/hectic rush week you will be scoping out all the girls not just for your future sisters but also for your future Little, you will ask yourself, "Is my future Little here?" Picking up Littles is a very important part of being in a sorority because you will be the one to mentor them and develop a close bond with. Having a great Big/Little match makes college life and your entire Greek Life experience that much better.

1. Connect.

In order to find the perfect Little you're going to have to talk to all the newbies and find common ground. You will develop many rush crushes because lets be real, all the new babies are so stink in cute and you could potentially see all of them as your Little. Your vibe attracts your tribe, so make sure you put out positive vibes so whoever you have your eye on will want you to be their Big.

2. You might get twins.

For me picking up twins was a no brainer. Both the girls that wanted me as their Big were the yin to my yang. Picking up a Little can be expensive and time consuming, so if you know that you want to pick up make sure you have enough money to pick up twins because you never know, maybe multiple girls that you have rush crushes on will want you. It would suck if there is two girls you really want as your Little and you don't have enough money to pick up two and you'll have to choose between the two. So be prepared.

3. Craft Craft Craft.

Once you find out if you're picking up and who it is it is time to craft your butt off. Picking up can be expensive but there is ways to be thrifty. Targets five dollar and below section will be your saving grace. They have so many cute things for cheap, like tumbler cups. Also the Dollar tree is a good place to get candy, candles and beauty products. They also have cheap glass wear that you can paint and bake in the oven. Canvas's are really expensive. If you buy bulk it will save you money in the long run because you can use left over canvas for Birthday and Christmas crafts. Sorority Letter shirts are SO EXPENSIVE, especially if you're in a local sorority. If you have time I recommend making the shirts yourself. It is time consuming so if you are a busy bee then the cheapest place to buy lettered shirts is online at Gone Greek, but be prepared to wait a couple weeks for them.

Spoiling your Little/Littles is so fun but remember that money doesn't buy friendship. Always be there for your Little through thick and thin. Cherish their company, hello dinner dates and wine nights. Most importantly love them unconditionally.
