I agree. No matter how much we try to turn our sisterhoods into businesses, thank God there are still people out there who want to have "sisters" instead of "members."
I know that there have been sororities who got rid of big/little and brought it back. The sororities who "don't have" big/little...welll, they have something that seems a heck of a lot LIKE big/little.
To say that these relationships aren't important is kind of like saying "well, why don't you just pick a sorority based on which philanthropy is your favorite and not worry about the people in it."
And for everyone saying "oh, it isn't so bad, etc" - there's a difference between an informal adoption, where you just kind of hang out with someone's family, and a formal adoption, where you essentially disown your previous big. Some people seem to be not getting that.
