Big Sis/Lil Sis Gifts

[ForeverRoses]

We didn't have a big-little week, but we did have a reveal night. The littles put on tee-shirts that had a cute logo on the front- two stick figure girls and the words "keep your hands off my little- AOII" on it. Then they would stand in a circle. They were asked to keep thier eyes closed (blindfolds would have been considered hazing) and then the bigs came and stood in front of them, at the signal, the bigs would hug the littles- the bigs also had paint on their hands so that the tee shirts then had two handprints on the back. The little littles also recieved photo albums that night- covered with material and decorated for them.
During Initiation week, the littles recieved gifts every day. The theme was the rose- so the first day it was a "brown" gift (usually something made of wood) to symbolize the stem, the next day green- for the leaves, then white, pink, and finally on the day of initiation, red. after initiation bigs and littles exchanged "wall plaques"- the big recieved one that looked like a paddle and the little recieved one in the shape of a bear. That was also the traditional night for the littles to get lavaliers (although they could technically wear them before that). Plus, the littles recieved a pillowcase from the chapter. That one was a tradition since we were colonized.
