Me again Big sis/lil sis
 

I can't really help with the lineage stuff...I'm from the Gamma Omega chapter that got our charter last spring. So right now, I have a little...and thats it.

We are starting family colors, the root of the tree picks out 2 colors for letters, and then the rest of the family is going to get those letters. I think my family letters are going to be light blue and white, so I'm going to buy my little a lettered t-shirt that has blue deltas with a white background delta.
I cross stiched a pillow for my little that is going to get passed down my family, and I also gave her a book that i wrote stuff in to be passed down to my line.
i'm trying to think what else.....ummm,
i don't know about anything for seniors. I guess i'll find out later this semester. I do want to make myself a shirt that has a HUGE pansy with three deltas on the front, and on the back say "PANSY??!! Who you callin PANSY?!" and wear it after Circle Degree, lol

Families
 

We still do mommies and babies--do any other chapters still do this? Also, are you able to choose your big/little mom/baby or are you paired up? We're paired up, but our chapter is so small there are lots of politics involved.

Gamma Nu (my chapter) still does moms and daughters (though I wish we had family colors and stuff) but our chapter is rather small as well and so we have blended families, but I really think it makes us more tight-knit because I look out for my nieces and cousins because they're FAMILY and SISTERS both.
We do usually have actual like trees back to the beginning of our chapter families (only ten years ago this past year) in our yearly scrapbooks, but with all the adoptions and such I can imagine it gets a bit confusing to determine how people consider themselves related.

Hi! I'm from Phi Rho chapter at Pacific, and we do Bigs and Littles. Last year we started a family scrapbook that will be passed down when the oldest member of the family graduates. In the scrapbook is a family tree, pages for specific events (Big Sis rev, Big/Little dress dinner, initiation, etc.), and each member has an individual page. Most families have 'family letters', my family letters is Hawaiian print letters, and each of us have different colors. Hmmm...what else, when the Big's take a little, they make a pillow for her and give it to her on the night of initiation. I cross stitched a pillow for my Little. During Delta Week, we have a Big/Little dress dinner, where only the new members and their Big's attend, and the Bigs give their Little a poem. If you have any questions about anything else in our sponsor program let me know!! Have fun!
