Waiting Littles

The Alpha Delta brothers organize and participate in an event that is held once a year called 'Waiting Littles'. This is a day that the brothers spend with children from the local Big Brothers, Big Sisters program who have not yet been assigned their own big brother or sister. Thus the title, Waiting Littles. It is a fun filled day usually spent at the local YMCA where the brothers organize games to play with the children such as dodgeball, bracelet-making, swimming, basketball, soccer, etc. and spend quality time bonding with them. Since they're children, there are of course snacks, which it sometimes seems the brothers enjoy more than the waiting littles! The brothers take this day, usually a Saturday, out of their busy schedules to be a friend to the children, providing what is hopefully a positive influence in their lives as they wait to have their own personal big brother or sister assigned. The children enjoy getting to know the brothers, hearing about what it's like to be in college and talking with them about what they're doing in school, telling them about their friends, home life, and what they themselves want to be when they grow up.
