? about Big/Lil reveals

[AOII Angel]

AOII had big sis/lil sis in the third week of the cycle. This was the way it was done when I was a new member, but that may have changed. When we had small spring new member classes we'd have a special big sis/lil sis reveal. All members would gather in a circle. The lil sis would enter with a candle which would then be passed around the circle while all members sang AOII songs. When the candle reached the right big sis she'd blow out the candle. Of course, a lot of goofing off occurred with fake outs. I think the girls really liked it that way.

At my school, sororities do this when sisters get engaged. The president will schedule a candlelight and then the engaged sister blows out the candle and they celebrate, sometimes they're open to the public/friends of the engaged girl. I know a girl who got proposed to this way. When the candle came to her, her boyfriend came up behind her and blew the candle out.

That is absolutely adorable.

For formal recruitment, we do revealing as one of the first activities.

For informal, we waited weeks!

We did the same thing for engagements too but we sang a specific song, "There's an AOII who's smiling." We never had any outsider there. It would be cute to have the boyfriend propose this way. How sweet!

We do a very similar thing to that. I love seeing everyone so surprised and excited!
