We did this over two nights the first week of school and it was a great way for everyone to get to know each other. Each pledge class was split up into 10 groups and after about 8-10 minutes the sophomores would rotate to the next group of new members. By the end of the two nights, the new members were able to meet all the girls who were potential big sisters.
