This is the year the "Little Sister" tradition began. Between 1983 and 1995, every Miss Universe delegate would be assigned a “Little Sister”, a girl from the host-city would serve as sort of a companion and good-luck charm. The girl would also wear a similar scaled-down sash of her "big Sister's" country.
