2015 VSA Big/Little Survey
Why Get a Big or Little?
VSA has long been known for fostering strong friendships/families. You can now be a part of that
tradition! You may have joined VSA for a variety of reasons: to find people with the same heritage, to
learn more about Vietnamese culture, to eat unlimited pho, or to meet new people. Signing up to become
a Big or Little can open the doors for so many new friends, weekend options, and meal/workout buddies—
among a plethora of other perks. You’ll have that “one person” to run to when life’s got you down, or your
bothered by something in VSA (hopefully this won’t be the case too often).
As a Big, you can take a new member under your wings and show him/her everything you wish you knew
when you were young. Your little can “flex” you if you live off campus and you could possibly find a
napping spot between classes.
As a Little, you will learn the ins and outs of VSA from your Big. If your big has a car, you have a ride
option available if you need to go to Christiansburg or need to get to Foxridge for a weekend “gettogether.” Your big will be like the older brother or sister you never had.
Who can become a Big?
Preferably, Bigs are at least in their sophomore year of college or higher. They have ideally been a
member of VSA for at least one semester. Possession of a car or living off campus is NOT a requirement.
Bigs need to be open, welcoming, and nurturing—ready to show the next generation of VSA members
what VSA and family means.
Who can become a Little?
Littles are new members of VSA and/or older members that do not already have a big in VSA. Littles do
NOT have to be freshmen. We’ve had cases in which the “Little” is older than his/her “Big,” which may
seem awkward at first, but this experience is what YOU make out of it so age shouldn’t matter. VSA’s
Big/Little Program was designed so that new members or members who were not active in the past, can
now have someone more “experienced in VSA matters” to show these new members the ropes and bring
them to meetings and events.
Please send completed surveys to vietn@vt.edu by October 2,
2015 @midnight for Bigs and October 8, 2015 for Littles.
Completed surveys should be sent as an attachment with the
subject in email as: “FirstLastname_Big” OR
“FirstLastName_Little” AND document renames in the
following format: “LastName_Big.doc” OR
“LastName_Little.doc”
ADD A PHOTO OF YOURSELF PLEASE!
