Big and Little Program
What is the Big and Little Program?
CSA’s Big and Little program is one of the most important parts of our organization. Every year, new joining CSA members become Littles when they are paired with, or are “picked up by,” veteran CSA members. These veteran members that they are paired with will become Bigs if it is their first time being paired with Littles. If they have picked up in previous years, they simply pick up more Littles if they choose to do so!
Passing
The most exciting for many CSA members is the process of Passing and Revealing. Passing begins with CSA board secretly pairing future Bigs and Littles, and only telling the Bigs who their Littles are, but keeping everything a secret from Littles. Passing is generally a 3-week long process in which Bigs troll, drop subtle hints, and give gifts for their Littles while keeping their own identities secret. This trolling is usually in the form of certain tasks that the Littles are supposed to complete in order to receive more hints about who their Bigs are.
Revealing
At the end of Passing is Revealing, which is a day when Littles try to figure out who their Bigs are. At the end of the day, the Bigs reveal their identities and they are finally united with their Littles! This whole process is full of excitement and chaos for everyone and ends up bringing together Bigs and Little to form bonds that last for years on end.
