We had Heart sis and Big/little

Heart sis was much like SigKapBling's except that you would often get the girl who preffed you as your heart sis the first week. Then a different girl each week.

Then you listed the girls you'd want as your Big (but didn't know until a revealing of some sort)

Oh, I so win this game I think.

I started with a heart sis, then after pledging in, you get your big (mine posts on GC which is pretty damn cool, I had no clue till afterwards. Love you Big!), then we do Secret Sigma, where you're left clues up until I-week before the revealing. Finally, we did do mother/daughter, which is sort of like the big/little pref listing. You don't find out your mom until I-week either. Now they've changed mom/daughter to Sigma/Kappa, which kinda made me mad because it was considered a divide between new members and initiated sisters, which I don't agree with.
So...
Heart sis
Big sis
Secret Sigma
Mom/Sigma.

No wonder I was inundated with so many gifts! Oh yeah, there was a spending cap on mom/daughter gifts too. Moms can only spend $150 tops on their daughters.

And that's why the UMASS chapter rocks like they do!

Another main issue that causes drama with big/little is as many of you have said, the spending.

My chapter is doing a spending cap this year of $200 (this does not include big/little shirts). We also have a list of required items this year (lettered totes, lavalieres, and badge boxes), so that every girl gets these main items and doesn't feel left out.

How are spending caps enforced? Do the girls have to show the receipts from their purchases? And does everyone strictly keep to these limits? I mean, is it unheard of for bigs to give their littles gifts "behind" the chapter's back and is this approved of?

we have something like that, secret sigma, but its the secret senior - you get one your "senior" year, or whatever year your going through order ... you get one sister to pair up with a senior and they give her gifts all semester long.. its so sweet. and at the end you reveal yourself to the senior at order i believe?? its so much fun


haha yeah i noticed that too.. its become the "what kind of ??/?? does your sigma kappa chapter have"!!!!
