I remember a chapter meeting when I was an active (way back in the early 1980s) when a well-respected member of the university faculty and a Chi Omega alumna spoke to us about just this sort of thing.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
She said, don't let yourself get involved in any Big Brother Little Sister type of relationship. It is subservient. If you wish to be thought of as an equal, you will not let yourself be considered anyone's LITTLE sister.
On a related note, she asked us not to "squeel!" She said it was a high-pitched valley girl type sound that was most annoying!
This was 25 years ago. Good advice to this day, I think.
