I was a Beta little sister for about 2-3 months of my freshman year (basically in the couple of months prior to sorority rush that was in November that year), and though it was completely harmless for me, I can imagine how it could get really shady. All we did was go to the Beta parties...we were like recruiting tools to make the guys look cool prior to rush. There wasn't any fooling around that I knew of (other than the occasional random date/hook up)...most of the girls were planning on rushing and didn't want to hurt their chances. But, I could see freshmen girls especially being vulnerable to pressure in situations with older fraternity guys.

I think my freshman year was the last year of fraternity little sisters at my school...it was heavily frowned upon by our panhellenic, and it was a hangover from the old local greek system anyway. But, as others have pointed out, Sweethearts, or pageants like "Kappa King" that's held at my school, are still going strong and they're completely different from auxillary groups.
