My chapter calls them Bigs/Littles or Active/pledge. Unlike some chapters, we get ours within the first week of pledging. During that week we get "hints" left in our little mailboxes at the house, and we're supposed to take a stab at who it is. Then there's a cute little activity to find out who your big is. Your big then presents you with all the stuff you'll need for pledging (hawaiian shirt, cute little gifts, family hand-me-downs). It's so cool. My big was awesome. I had to miss the big/little activity due to a rowing event. But I got to do a separate activity with the two other girls who didn't get theirs that night. We then have our bigs for all of pledging and they are our bigs forever. Our family trees are a HUGE source of pride, theres' a little rivalry about the biggest tree. But most of us are "related" because the trees branch out in crazy directions.
