What our community says.

"My name is Sheila S. I am a second-year finance major at Florida State University. I joined Big Sister Little Sister Mentoring Program my second semester as a freshman. I sought out BSLS because I wanted to be a part of an organization that was going to make me feel at home even though I was hundreds of miles away from it. This organization has been everything that it has stated itself to be and MORE. Before I was even a member, all of the current members were so welcoming and accepting of who I was and what I stood for. With the presence of BSLS, I have been able to build numerous connections with sisters while also interacting with the Tallahassee community. I have been able to laugh and cry about my journey here in college and I've had a group of women ready and willing to be there for me. For that, I am and will always be grateful for BSLS as a whole."

"Big Sister, Little Sister was more than just an org to me! It gave me the opportunity to meet some of the most kind-hearted women on Michigan State's campus. It was always good vibes. We were able to create a safe space for women to share their goals, fears, and feelings all while constantly uplifting them. From volunteering to tailgates, to bus rides around campus you could easily find a fellow sister to keep you company. I proudly served on the E-board during my time at Michigan State. For a fact I know that through any obstacle BSLS is here to stay."
