Things Bigs And Littles Do That Are Weird To The Rest Of Society

In sorority life, our Greek family means the world to us. To people outside of Greek life, bigs and littles are the weirdest and maybe even stupidest concept ever. But to us, it all makes perfect sense, even as the rest of society looks on in bewilderment at the things we do, these included....

Before Big/Little Reveal night, littles always say they love their big so much, although they don't even know who it actually is yet.

And on the other hand imagine spending boatloads of money and countless hours crafting for a girl who doesn't even know who you are yet. Yeah, makes total sense...

I mean let's be honest, your big during big little reveal is practically Santa...she leaves you TONS of presents and gets you everything you want.

Also, imagine if you were going to take a picture with your grandma and decided to squat right in front of her...exactly. Bigs and littles cannot take a normal picture without squatting, and people outside of Greek life will never understand it.

And if we aren't squatting we're taking "family tree photos," and everyone always asks, "why does that girl get to be at the top?" Then you try to explain it to them and they get all confused and you just give up...

Imagine someone calling you "little" but you're actually older than them. Nobody outside of Greek life will ever understand that...

And society will never understand why we make "Big" Facebook pages and Twitters, stalk our little's old pictures, and create memes with their photos...

And one day out of the year, everyone who isn't Greek and is on social media absolutely hates us.

But in the end, whether people understand it or not, our Greek life is our family. As cliche as it sounds, we find our mentors, our best friends, our soulmates, and our bridesmaids through our Greek life family.

Overall, from the outside looking in you can't understand it. But from the inside looking out you just can't explain it.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
