     I was wondering what restrictions (if any) do other chapters place on
matching Bigs and Littles.  Is there any OFFICIAL policy within the chapter?
Is there a policy concerning those in "positions of power"?  Are the
pledgemasters and/or big little chairs allowed to have littles?

     Let me explain why I am asking this.  Recently, Bigs and Littles were
matched in my chapter.  Twenty-three people were applying to be one of 20 Bigs
so three brothers would not get a little.  One of the pledgemasters, the
Membership VP, and both Big/Little Co-Chairs gots littles.  The three people
who did not get a little did not match with anyone's personality nor were they
requested.  Also, two of the three will be graduating and one is a grad
student who may not be staying.
     Looking back on this now, I would do some restricting.  I am the
Membership VP of the chapter.  In the past, pledgemasters have not had littles
in our chapter with one exception that I know of.  The current pledgemaster
that this concerns has not had a little yet.  Big/Little Chairs and Membership
VPs of this chapter in the past have had littles.

     That is the situation, a bit simplified.  I want to know what people
think.  Please send or post your opinions.  You don't have to beat around the
bush either.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
