Biggie,
I never could've imagined myself as a "sorority girl," but something in me decided to try it this semester. This semester, I walked into a class that I wasn't excited about, and you were sitting there; immediately I knew we were gonna be friends. Then that night, I went to a rush party—one I wasn't excited about—and again..there you were! I didn't know you yet, but just from seeing that big smile on your face, I knew I wanted to.
I decided against my better judgment to jump in to recruitment week and got an interview. Then I got a bid. I never thought that would happen, but the Lord had bigger plans for me than I ever could've imagined.
It was really cool to me how the Lord orchestrated my steps towards meeting you.
Throughout all of our bid weekend, people kept asking me if I knew who my big was (and who I wanted it to be). You wrote me an "anonymous" letter, but your handwriting gave it away. I knew in that moment we were gonna have so much fun together!
Although we only shared one semester together in ΣΑΩ, you have quickly become one of my best friends and a person I will always look up to.
Before I met you, I wasn't sure where my place was, and I had several failed attempts at trying to fit in. I kept hearing college was the place you met your forever friends, experience things you'll never forget, and make memories that last a life time. Prior to you, I wasn't sure what that looked like for me. You so quickly opened up your heart to me and made me feel appreciated. You've showed me such grace and love throughout this semester and I could never thank you enough.
Although it sounds dramatic and cliche, you really are the best and I couldn't imagine my life without you.
But it's time for you to go on to bigger and better things. I'm so proud of the way you are growing and pursuing your dreams. I can't wait to see where the Lord takes you, and I know if I'm ever sick, you'll be the best nurse ever <3
Thank you for all our lunch dates, study sessions, laughs, and good cries. Thank you for making a decision even when you really couldn't care less, and for bringing me coffee to class. Thanks for passing down your t-shirts to me, and for sharing your sorority with me.
Although those things will stick with me forever, thank you for offering me so many words of wisdom, being vulnerable with me, teaching me about Grace, and the small things.
Thank you for loving me unconditionally, listening to my irrational concerns, and complaining about school with me.
When I think about sisterhood and what it truly means to hold someone accountable, love them through their trials, and laugh uncontrollably...you perfectly fit the mold. I couldn't imagine anyone else being my Big and I'm honored that I have had the past six months to love on you, make memories with you, and share this amazing sisterhood with you.
I can't wait to see you soon little nugget. <3
