hey everyone!
when i got my big sister, all the littles lined up outside a room and were given a piece of cardboard that was decorated by the big. we then went into the room where a sheet was hanging from the ceiling separating us from our bigs. on the sheet was a match to our cardboard and we had to stand in front of the one that matched ours. on the count of 3, the sheet was lowered and we met our bigs! it was great!
unfortunately they don't do that anymore. now, all through lyre week the littles are given a piece of a puzzle that had been decorated by the big. every day they get another piece. by big sis rev they have gotten all the pieces except for the one that says their big's name. on rev day the final pieces are placed in the middle of a circle where the bigs are standing and the littles have to come in to find the final piece to their puzzle. this doesn't work well (in my opinion) because the littles don't always know all the older sisters. we have had several littles have no idea who "mary" is when they find their matching piece. but they do have fun all week putting their puzzle together waiting for that final piece!
another sorority at my school does something fun. the bigs get boxes (like refrigerator boxes) and they decorate them and hide inside them. then they jump out to reveal themself. i have NO IDEA where they find like 30 of these boxes and i don't know how the boxes are decorated. i have just heard about this from one of the sisters.
we don't have a house so we can't do the string thing but that seems like a GREAT idea!
