Adoptions are not a practice my fraternity approves of. Our family trees are very formal and since anyone can and does get upset at their big/little temporarily, we would definitely have had many people switch family alliances and just end up with this big mess of people half related to each other.
The only case where "adoptions" happen are before initiation, in which case we discover late in the semester that one set of a brother and pledge do not mesh well and prefer a bond with a different brother that they hit it off with. It's so far always worked out for the best that way.
