Like ADPi's have Alpha/Delta members and Diamond Sisters; Sigma Kappa has Violet Sis; Tri Sigma has Pearl Pals; the list is endless.
As explained by the ADPis on here, Diamond sisters are supposed to NOT be the same as a traditional big/little relationship (theoretically).

And as for SK, they have about 3 different names, all of which are different kinds of relationships. ASA has a "Ruby Sister." She's NOT a big - it's a totally different thing.

I have no problem with calling things different names, if they are different things.
