We did string party. Often, the bigs swapped colors, too, so a little couldn't just say "oh, that's mine"; she had to follow the actual string. It was a blast, and one of my chapter's fondest memories.

I don't know if it was national's call or just the chapter's, but they dropped the tradition because someone might consider it hazing.
