whats a good way to do Big Bro or Big sis reveal ?

[cruisinox]

how did you get your big Bro or Big Sis? I need some ideas for different ways of doing it

[jazing]

Most of the things chapters do are pretty secret, might even be ritual (ours is pretty ritual like)

I know some chapters mix it up though, do something different every semester, scavenger hunts, some ritual like reveals, some fun and hillarious It changes for us and I need some ideas

talk to other chapters of your organization.
they will probably have some really great ritual somewhere, or just cute ideas.
at our national convention, we talked to other chapters and our national board. that's how we discovered a great way to do bigs and littles. it's a big deal in a lot of people's minds.

Sorority or fraternity? From what I've seen at GreekChat (and if you do a search on this, I think you'll find quite a few threads that address your question), sororities and fraternities tend to do this quite differently, not to mention the differences from group to group.

Based on his first thread fraternities.

There are lots of ways it can be done... some organizations used to do 'stringing' where they leave a path of yarn or string for the NM to follow to their big.. this can cause issues with hazing, but could be fun as long as people don't get out of hand. other organizations give the NM an item then send them into a room where the bigs are waiting and they have to match their item to the big's item. it can be as simple as "_____ step forward and close your eyes. Will __________'s big please step forward. __________ open your eyes"

i like the idea of having a few different ways that rotate.

Ah thanks. And looking more closely at the username, I wonder if I should have known that.

I'll admit I was thinking sorority, since he talked about "fun and hilarious" ways to "reveal." To be honest, those are descriptions I tend to associate more with how sororities do things than with how fraternities reveal big brothers. Based on what I've read at GC, I'd expect that for many fraternities, this is a ritual thing, not a "fun and hilarious" thing.
