A reflection on Big/Little

Admist all the shopping, crafting, and trickery that is Big/Little we often forget what it really means to become a Big. It's not just crafting, and putting together baskets, it's being a mentor to a girl who saw something in you that she wanted to be. Being a Big is more than just being her best friend. You are there to guide her through college and sorority life. She will do what you do. So the question is do you want your little to be involved in the chapter?, do you want her to keep up her grades?, if so are you doing those things yourself? You have an awesome oppurtunity to make a difference in this girls life, to help her grow. Take it seriously be her cheerleader, and her constant shoulder to lean on. She's going to need you a lot. Make sure your there for her after the excitment of Big/Little has ended because you always want her to say "I have the best big ever." Congratulations to all of you taking littles! You are going to make wonderful Bigs, those girls are lucky to have you!
