Of course. No one said that because it happens, it's right. And we all have seen things on chapter websites that we know are wrong. But that's beside the point. Kevin didn't say Sigma Nu
is Alpha Xi Delta "brother fraternity" in any kind of official sense. He said:

He did know what he was talking about. It does happen, as the chapter websites I linked to, however erroneous the info in them may be from an official standpoint, demonstrate. I'll also give him the benefit of the doubt that since he is a member of one of the GLOs in question, he has some personal experience to back up his claim that it happens.
You're exactly right -- just because it does happen, doesn't mean it's right. But by the same token, just because its wrong doesn't mean it doesn't happen. No one needs to be told to check up on NPC rules when all they have done is note that some members of a particular GLO, rightly or wrongly, have in fact referred to another GLO as their "brother fraternity."
