Everyone...
Seems like I'm late for the party, but I read this a little differently than most of you. I don't see anything in this post about a "little sister organization." To me, this looks like what we used to call an "exchange." Basically, we would have a mixer with a sorority. Brothers would "adopt" the sorority pledges, and sisters would "adopt" the AMs. The AMs would go to the sorority house for an hour or so before the main party, where big sisters would give us t-shirts and trinkets with our letters on them, and the sorority pledges would go to our house for a similar reception. Then, we would all meet at one house or the other and have our mixer.
There was no "organization" to it, other than organizing the party. There were no meetings or anything like that. If you ran into your "big sister" on campus later, you'd say hi, maybe tease each other a little, and that was about it.
This may not be allowed anymore either, I don't know. After almost 20 years of "risk management," is anything still allowed? But in my opinion, exchanges were just harmless fun, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that some chapters still have them.
