It doesn't sound like you get much say in this situation. Whether or not you feel the same respect for these men after this incident, they are (or soon will be in the case of your little brother) your brothers. Unfortunately in life, things happen that seem unfair, but a person of character makes the best of these situations. Maybe you should ask the pledgemaster (in an interested not accusatory manner) why he felt it necessary to break this bond. It may be that the goals of the big/little relationship were not being met because of the differences between the two of you. Not everyone gets along well with everyone else. Don't make such a big deal over something that doesn't have to be a big deal.
