One of the most memorable experiences in any new member’s Greek life experience is getting their Big. All members have a Big. A Big is someone to guide you through your sorority/fraternity experience.
Getting paired is a mutual process that includes things each Big and Little is looking for. For some, that is staying in and watching Netflix—for others, that is going out to Disneyland. It’s good to know that all Big and Little pairings are completely different. I am lucky to have two beautiful, sweet, and caring Littles, and a hilarious Big. I even am a grand Big and a great grand Big now. But it all started with Big/Little week.
Big/Little week is complete chaos. In AOII at least, you basically have all active members telling you that they are your Big! They do it to confuse you so you can be surprised when your Big gets “revealed.”
The first day of Big/Little week you get your first gift and clue from your Big. As the week progresses, you get more clues and gifts that completely excite you for your reveal! 
Whether or not your clues were real or fake, your Big is going to be there for you forever.
It feels like you're waiting forever for to have your Big revealed, but when the day comes, it's impossible to contain your excitement. Every year, "reveal" can be different. It can be matching socks wrapped up as a present and being found in a Polaroid picture!
There’s no other type of relationship like a Big and Little. My Big and Littles mean the world to me!
