When my chapter was setting up our big/little program, we were told we could use pretty much any terminology we wanted EXCEPT big and little or mom and daughter (because that would imply a superiority/inferiority relationship).
We did the following:
On bid day you got an Alpha sister. Usually, for formal recruitment, this was whoever preffed you.
About a week later, you got an Epsilon sister. Usually this was someone you didn't know as well, to mix things up a bit.
One or two weeks later, you got a Phi sister, alternatively called a Pearl sister. This was your big. New members and sisters each made lists of people they'd like to be paired with, and the new member educator paired them up as best she could.
Officially we used this terminology, but unofficially we sometimes used the terms "big" and "little".
