I don't know that it goes back forever -- I'd never heard of it in any GLO until GC. We had big/little brothers, but we had no concept of families, grand-bigs/littles, etc. I don't remember any friends in other fraternities or in sororities talking in terms of families either. Always possible, of course, that they were doing the family thing and I just didn't hear about it or it didn't register with me.
I was talking with a collegiate brother in my chapter recently, and he asked about my big brother and about family. He seemed a little surprised when I said we didn't do families then.
This cross-chapter family thing sounds like it must be related to the idea of fraternity members having little sisters and sorority members having little brothers.
