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.
