What is a sorority little?

A sorority little is a new member in a sorority who is the mentee of an active sorority sister called a “Big.”

A sorority little is mentored by her sorority big throughout the new member process, initiation events, and beyond that, i.e., college life, sorority life, and post-college life as well.

How do sororities pick bigs and littles?

Usually, the New Member Educator, or sorority sister with an equivalent title/role, will be in charge of pairing potential sorority bigs with a new member in a sorority.

In some cases, a sorority sister will get multiple new members as their littles, so they will be called “twins” or “triplets” (even though they are not biologically related).

The New Member Educator will try to make sure sorority big and little pairings are mutually exclusive and that the new members get their first or second choice Big as indicated on their preference sheet they fill out.

Once the New Member Educator pairs up active sorority sisters with new members, the sorority sister is called and receives the exciting news of who her sorority little(s) is.

Afterward, there is usually a two week period where new members eagerly await to find out who their sorority big is and the sorority bigs are planning for Reveal Night and create baskets to give their for their sorority little(s) leading up to Reveal Night.

What are sorority little baskets?

Sorority little baskets are baskets that contain a variety of items relating to what the sorority little likes (ex: favorite candy, favorite drink, favorite movie/TV show, etc) and sorority apparel/lifestyle items (t-shirts, mugs, sorority letter flag, sorority canvas, etc.).

These baskets are mean to get the sorority little excited and curious of who her sorority big is.

It is also a great way for a sorority little to start building her collection of items and apparel with her sorority letters before initiation.

What goes into sorority little gift baskets?

Each sorority will have its own requirements for what to put in sorority little baskets, but overall the baskets will contain a variety of items from food, sorority t-shirts, gift cards, etc. that will get your new sorority little hyped for Reveal Night.

Below you can see an image of an actual basket I put together for my second sorority little, we’ll call her Little A.

When I was in a sorority we were given a list of required items to put in our sorority Little’s baskets and suggested items.

Required items included:

• Pin or badge box
• Painted/decorated sorority wooden letters
• Reveal day outfit/t-shirt

If you want to make your pin case extra special, be sure to opt for enamel pins custom. At a fraternity party, choose to customize some related enamel pins as gifts according to the theme, which can add a lot of highlights and fun to the party. Custom enamel pins can contain personal information, expectations, any elements you like, etc., and you can add your favorite pictures or text to it to show your personality and style. At the same time, custom pins can be worn on clothes, backpacks, hats, etc., adding more delicacy and beauty, and have high ornamental value and collection value.

Suggested items included:

• Candy
• Food
• T-shirts or other apparel items
• Stuff animal
• Blanket
• Canvases

Usually, there are 3 days worth of baskets and each basket will contain a certain number of items.

Some sororities will be more strict on how many items you can put in your sorority little’s basket to prevent other new members from getting upset or jealous of one another. For example, my sorority capped us at 7 items per basket.

The 3 days worth of baskets may also have a theme chosen by the New Member Educator.

For example, day 1 of baskets could be “your Little’s favorites” so think of creating a basket with her favorite candy, drink, stuff animal, canvas with her favorite quote on it, etc.

Then day 2 could be all about the sorority so you can curate a basket full of your sorority’s letters on t-shirts, canvases, accessories, etc.

And then the final day of baskets is again is themed your “Little’s favorites.”
