We used to always do it this way. The new members would be told which sisters were eligible/who wanted a little, they would decide amongst themselves who wanted who, and then they would have a week to ask the sister to be their big. We always had smaller new member classes, so it was really easy to do it this way. And it was fun. New members would get really creative with the way they asked their bigs, and it was such a nice surprise for the active sister.

Starting last semester, it's now done this way. The sisters and new members list their top 3, and they are matched accordingly. This is basically because of the potential for larger new member classes and, for example, to have 10 girls deciding who has who as their big with only 13 sisters to choose from (subtracting the two New Member Directors), the situation could become complicated... and/or start a war.
