We had a hall, but we still did the string thing - since it was just one hall, we had string everywhere! It was awesome...but...something I like even better with my advisory chapter goes like this. During big/little week the littles get all kind of crazy clues (they don't know they're crazy though...) They say "I've got blond hair and blue eyes" then the next says "I'm in the picture on the hall that is from our philanthropy last year" (so when the little goes to look, no one in the picture has blond hair)...etc...it goes like this all week! Anyway, the night of revealing is great because all the sisters park they're car in an empty lot. The big sisters cover their inner car windows with newspaper but everyone covers the outside of their car (entirely) in newspaper and signs, etc. Then they hide...in another car so no one knows their car...and the littles have a key to the car their big is in. They have to remove all the paper from outside each car, then use their key until it fits. Then they get to remove some more paper!
It sounds complicated, but it is so much fun for both the bigs & littles.
The biggest problem, for us, is the shortened new member period. At my chapter of initiation, we had 12 weeks so we didn't get our bigs until after 4 weeks so we could really get to know each other. Now that we only have 6 weeks, the bigs are just matched on paper so no one fusses about who got who.
Anyway, hope this helps...let us know what you end up doing!
LITB to ALL my fabulous A-Chi-O sisters!
