To My Sorority Big Sister

Becoming a part of a sorority is great in a lot of ways. While being able to make new friends, you also have leadership opportunities, you can make a difference in communities by volunteering, but it can all be a little scary at first. I realized I was finding my home as I got to know everyone in the house just a little bit better. On the day of Big/Little Reveal, I knew I was finally in the right place. Without my Big, nothing would be the same, and frankly, Greek life would not be the same for me. Although my Big graduated, I still love her, and I have never been able to thank her for all the big and little things she has done.

Thank you for taking me under your wing, teaching me what it's like to be part of a sisterhood. Thank you for spending a couple minutes out of your day to help me learn the Greek Alphabet, even when I made the stupidest mistakes.

I never knew who you were, well I didn't know anyone at the time. The first time I met you, I was walking back to my dorm from the homecoming game, and you came up and started talking to me.

The night of the first mixer, I did not know what I was doing, but I have never felt so comfortable talking to someone. When I found out you were my Big, I could not contain my excitement; it had to have been more exciting than Bid Day. You've taught me everything I've needed to know from how social events work, what exactly slate was, and why I needed to study.

Thank you for being there for me and listening to me complain about my homework load, and those professors I do not like all that much. Even if you have to listen to me complain about someone that is making me mad, I know you'll give me the best answer. You have been a great role model for me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be half the sorority women I am today.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
