Dear Little,

Out of the all the littles I could have had, I’m so thankful I have you.  You could have had any Big but you knew you wanted me. I knew you were meant to be my little when we met at recruitment. It was the first round on the first day of recruitment and you happened to be the first girl I talked to. I was super nervous and thought I was going to be awkward but it was like talking to any other sister when we talked.

You were not only the perfect fit for my sorority but the perfect person to become a part of my, well now our, Greek family. You are smart, artistic, funny, sassy, sweet and a dork. We clicked instantly.

Thank you, Little, for everything!

You have made me wonder sometimes who is the Big and who is the Little in our Big/Little relationship. You have motivated me to get through my exams when you knew I was completely over it. You knew I would succeed in all of my finals and wished me good luck when you already finished your finals, since you’re an industial design major. You constantly remind me to get enough sleep and not overwork myself. You visit me at work when you know I’m having slow days and will eat a mountain of rice for me to just keep me company. You are always down to go on adventures around the city or just grab Starbucks and hang out.  You have introduced me to some of my favorite shows that I binged watched on Netflix such as Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and Grey’s Anatomy (finally all caught up now).

As you’re Big, I will always be by your side!

A sorority is one big sisterhood that will always be there for you, but a Big/Little bond is a special bond that is unlike any other. College is a rollercoaster, but I will be on the ride with you. When you’re sick, I’ll have medicine and soup for you. When you’re stressed, I’ll come over and we can vent about it. When someone hurts you, I’ll ask who it was and give them a piece of my mind. In college, you will be surrounded by people who will support you and others that will try to bring you down.  You will be faced with difficult decisions and I will be by your side to help you.

I have so much to teach you just as you have so much to teach me. I’ve made mistakes and have learned from them. You might make the same mistakes even after I’ve guided you, but I’ll be there to catch you. You are my little and I couldn’t be happier. I love you, Little.

XOXO,

Your Big
