What are big little reveals? ›

Big Little reveal is a time-honored tradition in sororities where new members, also known as “l*ttles,” are paired with older members, known as “bigs,” in a mentorship and friendship type of program.

Many sororities have a reveal theme, where Bigs and Littles dress up according to a specific theme or costume. Some chapters organize scavenger hunts, where Littles have to follow clues to find their Bigs. Reveal Day often includes a special ceremony or event where Bigs are finally revealed to their Littles.

For example, Bigs can teach Littles the ways of college and sorority life - how to balance time, what food is good on campus, what teachers are the best, etc.
