I have to say that removing traditions because they lack a greater purpose is foolish. Greek organizations are honestly pretty inefficient and strange when you consider them on the basis on their stated purposes- there are better ways to do things to do what we do, but not more enjoyable ways.
I'm glad we're a local. We always have a sweetheart- usually someone's girlfriend, or a girl who's just hanging around the house constantly- a couple semester's ago it was my best friend.
We also have a women's aux. group, sometimes, usually made up of our girlfriends. They do nice things (last year they made us our birthday cake), and they help decorate for parties. I can say that we're in no danger of going co-ed because of it, too- that seems like such an old-fashioned way to think.
