My only advice to you, coming from someone who had a hand in founding and guiding his chapter well after-the-fact, if you do start traditions like a big-little program, first, do it in a responsible way so that risk issues (hazing) are minimized. Don't just consider what you are doing right now, but what some idiot might infer is a good idea based upon what you're doing now (at least if you want your chapter to last more than a few years after you graduate).
Once you have established what the program is, i.e., set up specific expectations for big bros, think of them as being crucial to your membership retention as they can really be your first line of defense against attrition.
As I said before, you're a founder, you get to make the rules. You shouldn't be so concerned with what a bunch of strangers on the internet are doing. Do your own thing. If you don't do your own thing, you might as well have joined a fraternity which already existed.
