With NIC fraternities and NPC sororities, there are officially no brother fraternities and/or sister sororities, though through the assistance of brothers from NIC fraternities, they sort of have a connection:

George Banta (Phi Delta Theta) helped establish Delta Gamma; Dr. Richardson (Kappa Sigma) helped established Chi Omega and wrote their ritual; men from Sigma Nu helped establish Alpha Xi Delta.

It's not unusual to see Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma host a social event called the 'Monmouth Duo', since both sororities were founded at Monmouth College. Alpha Delta Pi and Phi Mu were founded at Georgia Wesleyan College. (what's the current name of the school? I'm drawing a blank.)

On the other hand, the NPHC fraternities and sororities have a much closer relationship as brother and sister fraternities and sororities:

Alpha Phi Alpha = Alpha Kappa Alpha
Kappa Alpha Psi = Delta Sigma Theta
Phi Beta Sigma = Zeta Phi Beta
Omega Psi Phi = Sigma Gamma Rho

Iota Phi Theta, tha newest member of the 'Divine Nine' does not have a sister sorority. (Someone correct me if the above pairings are incorrect.)
