A lot of the women I knew who were little sisters (sorority members and non-members) worked their ASSES off and were very proud of being little sisters. They weren't there because of politics or PR...they were there because they loved the brothers and what the fraternity stood for. They did a heck of a lot more to earn that title than saying OMG BE MY BIG BRO?? I don't even want to get into the wearing letters issue. A lot of the programs back in the day were sanctioned by the fraternities' HQs and so obviously they were OK w/ women wearing letters. This, not so much.
If groups are going to do the type of thing that PANTHERTEKE talked about, I wish they'd find a different name for it, like Sorority BFF of the Month or something. But like VandalSquirrel said...why do you have to have a title for your friends?

Okay, I see where you're coming from. I shouldn't have said its "mostly" done for PR/Politics. Sometimes it is, but like I said, all of the fraternity Sweethearts are girls who help out the fraternities and have several Big or Little Brothers in that organization. Which goes to show you that it's not always done for PR or politics. I only said that bit because sometimes you hear a person say "I want a Big/Little in XYZ."
And who said anyone wore anyone else's letters?? The only girl who can wear my letters is our Sweetheart; whether stiched, print, iron-on, etc. You'll never see a girl walking around my school in a fraternity's letters unless she is their Sweetheart.
