Being a new member is one of the most exciting times! During the first week of pledging, new members get spoiled by their big sister (or Big) during Big/Little week which is a week full of excitement and surprises before the reveal. Bigs love to give gift baskets, decorate their little’s room, and give fake clues as to who they really are!
A Big is a mentor, a support system, a study buddy, and a best friend. She is someone who you can always count on. The bond between a Big and a Little is irreplaceable and beyond special that stays alive long after university. By getting a Big, you also gain a family line that will give you some of the closest friendships you will make. Big/Little week is an unforgettable moment that sisters have during their time as Nu Sigs. |

I never knew how much I needed a big before joining the sorority, and now I couldn’t imagine getting through first year without her. Having someone I can tell anything to and who helps me through everything school and life throws at me is so amazing. The connection we have is nothing I have ever experienced before and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. |

Having Ella as my little has meant so much to me. Being able to guide such a strong, well-rounded, and thoughtful individual has taught me so much about myself and about how much I value having her in my life. A bond between a big and little is unique and special. I’m so lucky to share it with someone as beautiful as Ella. |
A Big and Little relationship, is like no other. It is something that continuously develops and strengthens over time. My Big is my mentor and I know that she will be there whenever I need her. My Little has helped me become the person that I aspire to be and develop skills I didn't know I had within me. Having both of these wonderful, strong women in my life has allowed me to discover who I am and who I want to be. They have both changed my University experience for the better and I will be forever grateful to have been given Kristin and Sarah as my family. |
I came into the sorority somewhat knowing what a big/little relationship was all about, however I had no idea how big of an impact it would have on my life. When I found out Jaimey was my big, I was ecstatic but I definitely underestimated how close our relationship would come to be. I can say with full confidence that I am by far the luckiest little. I am truly thankful to have met Jaimey and have such a funny, wonderful, caring soul in my life. She is not only my big but she is my best friend. And for that I am forever grateful. |
