I don't think anyone has a problem with historical bonds.
What IS a problem is when people try to portray it as something that influences fraternity/sorority relations today. Someone who is interested in pledging should never have to worry that if she joins ABC she'll HAVE to hang out with and date XYZs because XYZ is their "brother fraternity." I'm sure there are schools where the AXiDs and Sigma Nus can't stand each other.
It can be annoying and limiting to feel "tied" to the same fraternity or sorority, for whatever reason. Like Phyllis said, all the NPC groups discourage it (or should).
