Alpha Phi Omega - Kappa chapter from the 1980s...
The way that Kappa Chapter did it when I was there about 25 years ago:
Kappa chapter gave two bigs to each little, so things got a little more complex. Clues were left in the Fraternity office starting more or less when pledging started (or rather when bigs were assigned which wasn't much after that). In week 5 of a 9 week pledging, we took a "Nature Trail to Hell" which was a walk through the Large City park and eventually ended up at a pizza place on the other side (Note, the pledges did *not* know where we were going, but we had a few advisors along). Brothers either walked with the pledges or met us there. When we got to the Pizza place, after we ate, the pledge master called out the pledge's names one by one and asked if they knew who their bigs were, whether they guessed right or wrong, the pledge master let them know and presented their bigs...
A clue in the clue box addressed to a pledge might be something like chocolate to represent that the big was from hershey, PA or a xerox of the cover of a textbook the big had for one of her classes, or sometimes just something written.
