No Big should feel bad about having no clue how to treat their Little well. Most times, the Big in this shoe never experienced a good relationship with their Big during their time. So it’s expected that they’ll have no clue about how to behave and that they will be looking for help.

1. Protection

Taking a quick peek at the female fowls. one will realize that the number one role they play every day is to protect their chicks.

This gives the idea of what the responsibilities of a Big include. It involves having the capability to protect the Little from other sorority members with negative vibes. They don’t need to protect them in the group alone, they’ll need to protect them in the outside world as well. 

They can achieve this by relating their experiences on campus and in the sorority family at large to them. As well as letting them know the things and people to avoid lovingly as any awesome mum would.

2. Attention

After the Reveal, the Little finally meets the Big. The next line of attention for the Big is to find a way to fix their Little into their cool or busy life. 

If they’re leading a cool life where they have time to be there for the little. It’s a great way to build an excellent relationship within a few days of the meeting. 

On the other hand, the Big lead a busy life, and they’re always choked up with activities. Sure the Little will respect that. However, similar to every other relationship out there, it dies without conscious effort to make it work. 

Therefore they need to make intentional efforts to make time to meet up and check up on their Little. They need to see this as a scenario where they are the guy here. That’s trying to woo a lady they have an interest in. 

Good examples of what to do include calling, sending heartwarming texts, and having facetime at every possible time. Above all, they need to fix physical meetings at any chance they’ve got.

3. Check Up

The best way a big can make their Little or twins feel comfortable. As well as trusting them enough is when the Big always shows up for them. Showing up for them entails calling now and then to show that they care about their well-being. 

They can set their calendar to call them twice a week. It could be at the beginning and the end of the week. They can throw a surprise at their dorm just to say hello. 

Doing all of these consistently will make the Little believe they’re for them. Before long, they’ll feel relaxed and comfortable around them, having the mentality that they could trust them. Therefore they could relate to them when they need someone to talk to. 

The Big needs to ensure they’re on their best behavior with their Little, especially when they relate their issues to them. They shouldn’t be a Big who’d gossip about their Little to every other person within their circle. 

4. Showers Of Gifts

Days before the reveal and Little spoil week isn’t the only time a good Big will focus on showering their Little with gifts. Every Big must understand that one of the great responsibilities of being Big is that they’ll spend money on their Little. 

At this junction, every Big that knows they don’t have enough to be spending on their Little should quietly opt out. It’s not about spending money and resources on getting expensive gifts. No, they should instead give their Little meaningful and unique gifts at intervals.

5. Advice

Having a big entails the Little having someone they can look up to and want to emulate. Therefore it’s essential the Big present themselves before the Little as someone they can learn great things from.

One of the responsibilities of the Big is to show the Little the right way to do things. Both in the sorority family and on the campus at large. So every great Big is someone who advises the Little on how to be active participants in the sorority. 

They teach the Little to take their studies seriously. They offer pieces of advice on how to deal with campus stress and workload. 

They’re there for the best relationship advice. They teach their Little how to balance enjoying the most out of campus as well as being serious with their studies. 

While the Big is there to lead the Little to the right way to live. The Bigs should be aware of the fact that they’re not Little’s biological parents. 

This means that after giving the best advice. They should leave room for the little to make their decision and respect every decision they make.
