Yeah, the only reason it's not for us is because it's a part of the program. I don't know if every chapter does this, but mine had initiated members re-take it every year with the NMs too, just as a refresher.
Also, and this is just my own opinion here, I feel like there's a link in retention and the Big-Little Sis program. Too often, I think the Big/Little relationship becomes mostly about gifts and chapters don't use it to its full potential as a MENTOR relationship, which is what I feel it's meant to be. My Big did WAY more for me than just give me presents. I am who I am today in Sigma because she modeled involvement to me and I said "I want to be like that."
