10 Big Thoughts Every Little Has During Big-Little Week, AKA Sorority Christmas

Maddie Wagner

If you know anything about sororities, you've probably heard of Big Little week. If you haven't, here's a rundown. You go on a ton of "big-little dates" and meet older girls in your sorority, and see who could be your potential big. Then, you rank your bigs and they rank their littles. Then starts Big-Little week!!!

I had an embarrassing Instagram account made for me, which was very interesting. My big posted pictures of me taken from Facebook and my personal Instagram and then did edits and wrote strange captions for me every day.

During Big-Little week, the little gets daily surprise presents from their big, but they don't know who their big is yet. Presents often include sorority gear, candy, canvases, and stuffed animals. The littles get spoiled to death all week until Big-LIttle Reveal where they finally get to meet their big and then their big's "family."

In case you were wondering, here are 10 thoughts every Little has during Big-Little Week.

1. When you see how many presents you actually get...

I hope you're not broke, Biggie.

2. All day during class while you know your Big could be decorating your room at that very moment...

You just know that they're going to be amazing.

3. When your Big messages you through their Little Instagram and is dropping hints about themselves...

It's creepy that you're talking to someone whose profile picture is your face...

4. When your Big gets your present EXACTLY right...

You better believe I'll be showing everyone!

5. When your roommate tells you they know who your Big is...

But at the same time, if you tell me, I'll kill you.

6. When you wake up on Big-Little Reveal Day...

~SooOoOOooOoOO excited!~

7. When people are teasing you because they know who your big is and you don't...

NOT OK.

8. When you walk into your room and it's all decorated...

IT'S SO PRETTY.

9. The day of Big-Little Reveal...

You've never meant those words so much as right now...

10. When you finally see your Big and know how much fun you're going to have together...

YAY, BIGGIE, I LOVE YOU!

The agonizing wait is all worth it once you find your Big. Merry Sorority Christmas!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1987

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
