In my chapter, it was a tradition that newer members did not take a little until a full year after they were pledged. (ex: Pledge in Spr. 09---take little in Spr. 10) If your job as a big is followed as it is in the ritual, it's kind of hard to do if you were initiated in May and take a little in September. You have yet to live a full semester as an initiated SAI and aren't familiar with the rules and such that come along with being in SAI. You wouldn't be able to educate your little and properly prepare her for initiation. (I keep thinking back to the ritual here, so it's getting hard to write what I really want to say....)
And, unless the chapter is teeny tiny, most officers don't take a little either. Especially the big ones like President and VPM.
