Anyone that is a part of Greek life knows that getting a Big is one the most exciting things ever. You are a new member who cannot wait to be spoiled with crafts and gifts with your letters and join a family that you will be a part of for the rest of your life. It's all great and exciting, but your big should be so much more than just your friend in the house. I am so thankful for my Big, so this is my letter to her.

Dear Big,

I know you've only been a part of my life for a few months, and you've only been my Big for a couple weeks, but I feel like I have known you for my entire life. I remember you picking me up on bid day and thinking "wow this couldn't be any more awkward." I pretty much avoided you the entire day. I was so scared that this was how it was going to be and I was honestly a little nervous. Things got better as syllabus week went on and I started to like you more, which I was thankful for.

You took me out on syllabus week, and that's when I started to fall in love with you. You served as my mom the entire week and made sure I always got home safe and was tucked in bed, just as you do now. I appreciated that even though we had just met, we made a connection right away. Ever since that week, I knew I wanted you to be my Big and to be my person.

As Big/Little reveal came up, I was almost positive you weren't my Big because you constantly ignored me and wouldn't talk to me. That was the worst week ever, and I couldn't be more relieved than when you unzipped your sweatshirt and we had matching shirts on that said "Big" and "Little." I felt so much joy in joining this fam and knew they were going to be my best friends for the rest of my life.

Now we are pretty much the same person. You are more than my Big and my best friend. You have become my family away from home. I appreciate everything you do for me. From always getting me home safe to helping me get away from weird guys at parties, you are my number one and my go-to for everything. When you're hurting, I'm hurting. I will forever care about you and I know you will be in my life forever.

Thank you for becoming such a big part of my life in such a small amount of time. Thank you for the hang out days at the house, and thank you for always being willing to drag me anywhere. Thank you for taking me on dates (because let's be real, we're the only boyfriends we need). I am always included and feel so lucky to have a Big like you. No one will ever understand how much you mean to me and I promise we will always have each other no matter what. You have made such an impact in my life already and I can't wait to see what the next three years of adventure bring for us.

With all my love,

Your Little
