Then on big/little night they find out which girl they actually received.

We KDs must think alike! Those sisters who want to be bigs sign up to be Pearl, Emerald and Diamond Bigs of the Week. Each week at the beginning of the pledge period, a new member gets matched up with a Big of the Week. They spend time together, like maybe going out to dinner or a movie. 4 weeks later, sisters rank their top 5 choices for who they would take as a little. The new members rank their top 5 choices for a big. The VP New Member Ed. does the matching. Then we have clue week and revealing.
Any sister can sign up to be a Big of the Week. Usually it is the last pledge class that takes the most littles. PC 2003 will take most of the PC 2004 as littles because the other pledge classes either have littles, or they have graduated. Everyone is allowed to sign up to take a little, but it's a mutual selection process. Seniority doesn't really play a factor because we usually have so many new members we need a large majority of the chapter to take them as littles, so everyone who wants a little will get one.
