At Alpha Gamma we have Violet Sis's for the brand new members before they get their bigs.
We also do the string for bis sis/lil sis revealing, and it is my favorite night. We send all the pledges out for ice cream with the pledge ed for about an hour, then, as soon as they are out the door, we go to work! We start the string on the tag board on the peg with their name. All along the string are clues about who their big sis is. (Oh, each day during the week, they get gifts from their big and notes from their family, so all week they are trying to guess...) There is also clothing on the string. Each big sis picks a theme, like rock star, or at the beach, and when the lil's reach the end of the string, their big is dressed exactly like them. As the lil sis reaches each item, she puts it on, or if it's not clothing carries it with her.. it's so funny to see these girls all dressed up and trying to get through their strings to their bigs. Everyone agrees that it is the best night anyone has. After everyone finds their bigs, all the families get together and have a family night, where they tell their family secrets. It's such a wonderful night for everyone!
