Big Little... A Whole New World.

Story By: Courtney Boyd


College can be a hard transition for new students. Even transitioning from a junior college to a four year university can be tough.

For young women who go through recruitment this transition is sometimes easier. Recruitment allows women to meet other new students with the similar interests and hobbies.

After recruitment is over new members of Chi Omega are given "owl pals". The active member owl pal gives her new member things such as the Chi Omega Symphony and owls to express the love the active has for Chi O.

This process goes on for about four weeks and over that time the owl pals change each week. the week before big little reveal the active and new members write down who they want as their big or little.

This usually happens on a Friday and the active finds out who her little is later that evening. The Monday of reveal week begins with clues that actives give their little until the Friday night when reveal happens. 

This year for reveal bigs got matching socks for them and their littles and held up blankets then dropped them to reveal who they were.

The big little process isn't just about gifts and Chi Omega goodies. It's about being a role model and helping a new member through her college years. It's about creating memories and a long lasting friendship that will never die.
