We did something similar on my campus...your big asked one of her male friends or boyfriend in a fraternity to be your "pledge dad". Almost every chapter did this. I had pledge "sons" in three different fraternities, so technically they had some sort of relation, but nobody really cared. It mainly meant that I bought them something with my letters, got them drunk on pledge mom night, and then they could call me if they needed a date to something.

That said, it's a risk management nightmare waiting to happen, and our HQ told us to stop.
