There is a very, very, VERY huge difference between an honest to God little sister program where they have a rush, a pledging period and basically function like a sorority, and a sweetheart type recognition that h_n_l is describing. They probably shouldn't call them "little sisters" though because (as shown by this thread) people get the wrong impression. They are sweethearts. Sweethearts are obviously OK with NPC groups as any international fraternity sweetheart I've ever read about was an NPC member.
h_n_l is not in an auxiliary group. She is a sweetheart. SO SHE IS NOT BREAKING ANY ALPHA SIGMA ALPHA POLICY REGARDING THIS RULE, and the initmation that she is is not appreciated.
Icecold is right when she says this:
That is to say, the brothers of XYZ cannot make women participate in a pledging process to obtain any kind of recognition by XYZ.
Can we put this one to rest and stop trying to make everyone else look guilty for something perfectly innocent? Thank you, drive through.

While I really don't think it's hugs_n_ladybugs's fault that this particular fraternity or campus uses the incorrect terminology, I also don't think it's fair to chastize us for knowing the correct terminology. It is only later in the thread that she mentions anything related to sweethearts. Little sister organizations are against NPC rules, and so when I see the phrase "Lil' Sis", this is what I (and everyone else in this thread, obviously) assume we are talking about. If the thread had been titled "Sweethearts" or if the initial post had mentioned sweethearts or anything CLOSE to sweethearts, the following contents would have been very different. This is evidenced by the fact that there are probably several threads floating around here about sweethearts and they are full of positive comments.
Yes, there is a huge difference between being in a Little Sister auxiliary group and being a sweetheart, but it was not at all clear what hugs_n_ladybugs meant.
