I think that having ONE sweetheart that's an honorary type thing is still kosher for most everyone, but having a little brother/little sister program has been eradicated for a couple reasons:
1. It threatened the groups' single-sex status.
2. It took time away for whoever was running the program, that they should have been putting into the fraternity/sorority.
3. The image that all little sisters did was (to quote my ex) clean the house and bleep the brothers. Not true, by the way.
I've seen both ends of the spectrum, from groups that were basically just bleep-buddies, to groups that were more well run than some of the sororities on campus. I had no problem whatsoever with them, but some sorority women did.
