If you are at all like me your big is your number one go to gal. When my big told me she had been chosen to be a Pi Chi for this years fall recruitment I was beyond proud. I was also already dreading the day when she would disaffiliate to help other women find their home.
The thoughts that went through my mind were: who is going to listen to me ramble, who is going to drop what they are doing when I'm sad and need a girls night in, and who's going to be the best most dependable DD when I call at 2 am. Basically my big is my lifeline. She's been disaffiliated now since August 1st and I miss her so much. In her absence however I have gotten closer to other sisters. Not having my big at recruitment retreat or recruitment school sucked, but I got to know a lot of sisters that I hardly spoke to before. I was forced out of my comfort zone and ended up having a great time at retreat with my sisters at the Gamma Phi house in Athens.
Things to Remember if your big is a Pi Chi:
1. She is helping other women find their home.
2. Her disaffiliation is temporary.
3.There are other sisters who are willing to help and support you.
4. Her coming back on bid day will be the best part of recruitment.
My big is doing a truly amazing thing by giving up her letters in order to help women through the recruitment process and ultimately find their homes. I am so lucky that I get to claim her as my big and cannot wait to run back into her arms on bid day.
XO-Rachel
