Big-little reveal season is one of the most exciting parts of sorority life. Becoming a big means forming a special bond with a new sister — to guide and support her through college and sorority life. It also means spoiling your little with gifts that show off your personality, chapter traditions, and your new friendship. Putting together the perfect baskets with the cutest big-little gifts is the start of a lifelong sisterhood.
But let’s be real — coming up with gift ideas can be stressful. Do you go the crafty route with DIYs, or stick to store-bought staples that every girl will love?
