Big/Little Reveal Each big is wrapped in wrapping paper and has on a pair of socks that matches a pair of socks they have given their little to wear! The little finds the person with their matching socks and sits in front of them and then everyone unwraps their big at the same time!

A g-big, or grand big, is what we call our “big’s big.” So in a typical Greek family, you will have a little, a big, a g-big and sometimes even a g-g-big. It’s uncommon to have a g-g-g-big that still goes to school with you, but don’t worry, they still exist!

Big/Little Reveal!! Basically, every new member is a Little and gets a Big, who is someone a year older than them to show them the ropes and hang with a ton. You also then join a family with a Grandbig (like Eileen).

Planning the Perfect Big/Little Reveal

1. Plan ahead. When it comes to picking your reveal theme and ordering shirts, the most stressful thing you can do is wait until the last minute to order your shirts.
2. Scroll Pinterest for ideas. Pinterest is the best way to compile thousands of reveal themes and ideas.
3. Put your little first!
4. Accessorize!
5. DON’T STRESS!

The Big/Little relationship is all about mentorship. As a little getting a big is so important. They have spent time in your organization and they have knowledge of so many different things on campus you might not know about yet. The big and little relationship is a reciprocal relationship of love and affection.

During big little week, many newly joined sorority members share a week full of gifts and surprises. While the sorority Littles treasured the moments of the week, it usually includes a significant time for their Bigs.

It usually implies that something is little in one way but big in another; for example, a game may want to imply that it is “little” in being approachable and friendly, but “big” in having lots of things to do.

Bid Day: The last day of recruitment, when potential new members receive bids to join chapters and become new members. Each chapter will usually host a Bid Day activity to help the new members get to know each other and the rest of the chapter, like bowling or roller skating.

Most, if not all, fraternities are invite-only. However, the invites are determined by whether the brothers of the frat like you or not. If they do and you’re also maintaining their minimum-requirement for GPA, you’ll likely get an invite.

After all three rushes have taken place, each group discusses which students would be a positive addition to the group. Usually, this is a tedious process and takes many hours. When a group decides which new members they would like to join their organization, they give them a “bid,” which is an offer to join.

However it is very possible to go through rush and not get a bid from anyone.

Rank among the Greek life is based on appearance, both physically and within the Greek world. A lot of sororities have rules about dress, hair, and makeup, but many sororities will also take in women who simply fit the mould they’ve set out.

To be short and sweet, it means you are dropped from attending all events at that particular sorority during sorority recruitment. After every round of sorority recruitment, you vote on which sororities you want to be invited back to for the next round. The sororities vote on the girls they want to see come back.

Most women who are part of equivalent sister organizations are prohibited from doing so. That’s because of a rule within the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) — an umbrella organization of 26 autonomous sororities — that bans alcohol in sorority houses. The NPC says its policies represent national best practices.

Being in a sorority means you have to drink. In fact, sororities nationwide are considered dry, meaning that there is no alcohol permitted in the house or at any sorority functions.

Yes. Women can’t join fraternities, but they can go to parties. So can men who are not members of a fraternity. Generally, some parties will be “closed”, as in you will have to be in certain groups, and one of those might be a fraternity.

The reason that the NPC gives for this seemingly archaic rule is that it’s much cheaper to insure sororities if alcohol isn’t allowed in their houses. Sorority members pay about $25 to $50 a year for insurance policies, while fraternity members pay $180.
