Big And Little Reveal? More Like Sorority Christmas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

If you’ve been wondering why your newsfeed has been a constant flow of statuses about how much people love their Littles, photos of gifts and signs, and wall posts and tweets between new members excitedly counting down the days until their Big is “revealed” to them the answer is finally here. Most sororities on campus have been having their precious Big/Little reveals. Other than Bid Day and Initiation, for most new members getting a Big is the best part of the new member period. And for many older sisters, getting a Little is something they’ve been looking forward to since they received their Big’s.

A Big’s “job” is to take a new member under her wing and help integrate her Little into their sorority. However, most Bigs feel that their role goes above and beyond that. Sigma Kappa sponsored their Big/Little reveal Thursday evening. Big’s and Little’s anticipation were bubbling over in the Sigma Kappa house. New members anxiously scrambled through the house to find their final clues to decipher whom their Bigs are. Shrills, tears, eeeks, and ooos filled the air that night as slowly but surely, one by one, Big’s were revealed to their Littles. The bond between Big and Little is unforgettable and these precious moments will forever be remembered.

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
