we just got our bigs a week ago, so this is very fresh in my mind!
after chapter, we were taken back into the main suite, with a candle. our vp of education had all of us new members sit down towards the front of the room, while different chapter members filtered in and sat behind us. we were each handed a piece of paper with a sisterhood type poem (granted..we had no idea what was going on. they lied and told us we werent getting our bigs til next week). one of the girls volunteered to read hers outloud first. as she read it, on the last line, the door to the suite opened (but you cant see it from the main part where you sit, only here it) and her big came in and read the last line along with her. as she walked up and finished the line, the big blew out the lil's candle, and then the lil blew out the big's candle. it was SO great! we were all shocked, and it was just really touching. i was so excited, and i thought this was a really sweet, sincere way to do it!
