I wonder if the OP is talking about big/lil week or just about being a big in general.

For initiation:
I made a pillow for my little. On the front were our letters and on the back was sisterhood quote. I also passed down my favorite set of letters to her. Oh, and you can't forget the family pattern letters. I also got her a chapter gaurd for her initiation.

During her big/lil week:
-I left clues everyday to who I was.
-I made her a picture frame that said "The World Stops for My Little Sister" with our symbols and colors on it.
-Each day I gave her a red and white rose. And, then, at her initiation, I gave her the rest of them because she finally knew what they meant.
-I also made her a door hanger. I got the big sis, lil sis, spring 2007 stuff from AC Moore (cuz pledges can't display letters).
-Also a wooden little box with the words "Sigma Alpha Iota" and a rose and a music note.
-I painted a box white with red roses for her pledge and sister pin.
-I modge podged an old liquor bottle with just random stuff, wrote her a letter, and put it inside the bottle. Of course, in the card that day, I alerted her of the "letter in a bottle"
-I bought her a little sister charm.
-I think one day I also left her a dvd and let her know that one of my favorite actresses was in the movie.
-Oh, and I got a little red heart and with a sharpie I wrote "YBS loves you. SAI KG"
-And, for her pledge notebook, I made a front cover out of magazine words that said "Sigma Alpha Iota women are..." and then around it I put all kinds of words like, "classy", "talented", "beautiful"...etc. And then, on the back cover I put "But most of all, WE'RE SISTERS!" Along with a chapter picture and another sisterhood quote.

I think that's it for her big/lil week.

Currently, I'm working on a countered cross stitch for her. It's really cute. It's like potted plants, but instead of blooms it's each letter of the word "Sister". And, I also have a blanket that I'm going to get embroidered for her. And, just about every time I find something with the word "Sister" on it, I buy it for her.
