I was VP Social last term, and this is how we do little selection at our house. (VP Social=NM Ed)

The littles make a list of bigs they'd like to have. Then the VP Social chooses a "panel" of 2-3 people who aren't eligible to take lil's to make the pairings. We don't allow potential bigs to say who they'd like to have as a little; we leave it up to the lil's to say who they feel comfy with. And, because the panel chooses the pairings the VP Social is allowed to take a lil if she wants one. That happened to me during my term as a VP Social, and it worked out for the best. Admittedly, I had my favorite, but because the panel didn't know my personal feelings they paired me a different new member. (I'm glad I was given this lil too! We're actually a lot more a like than the girl I had originally wanted!)

I hope this helps!
