Gamma Psi Traditions
Pref Week and Clue Week
With the Big/Little system being one of the most integral parts the Gamma Psi brotherood, Pref Week and Clue Week are understandably the most anticipated weeks each semester.
Pref Week kicks off exactly one week before clue week starts. One event each day brings all the potential Bigs and Littles together for some PSP fun. The events tend to change each semester except one: Iron Chef. The Bigs and Littles are divided into teams and then sent off with a small budget to create the most tasty dish they can with the given secret ingredient. The Bigs and Littles get quality time to decide who they are going to pref and E-board gets some yummy food during the judging portion of the event! Many Big and Little pairs have been decided at this event. Pref Week ends with the Bigs sending in their "pref" of Littles and the Littles doing the same for the Bigs.
Clue week begins once the Initiate Advisor matches the Bigs and Littles based on their prefs. A week of pampering, mysterious notes, clues, and instructions begins for the Littles. The Bigs try their hardest to remain unknown to their Littles and the Littles rack their brains to determine the identity of their Big while they munch on the large amount of candy they have received. As much as the Littles may not want the pampering to end, it does that Sunday at Initiation. The newly initiated Brothers learn the identity of their Big and the identity of their new family for the rest of their stay at Willam and Mary.
