I have seen where there are plenty of members willing to take on a little but are not in good standing at the time due to financial, academic, social, merit, or other reasons. The chapter I advise has become more strict in the requirements t be a big.

Sometimes I have also seen members decline a little due to the cost of gifts. It got to the point where the chapter has a set of specific gifts to give to their littles. Only those are to be presented during big/little week. If the big chooses to give other gifts they may do so after big little week.
