BigLittleReveal is one of best days of a new member’s sorority career. They literally get a whole new family. There are generally two ways for a bigs/g-bigs to have this special day play out for their new little. Many choose to go with the traditional reveal strategy of “less dress cute and take girly pictures of us hugging”. Then there’s the “let’s make this as fun and silly of an experience as possible” approach. Let’s celebrate the girls who chose to get weird with it in fall 2016....
