I would say that the combination of assigned and mutually chosen families would be a greater benefit to the fraternity. The NM is looking to be a part of the organization and having a fail safe like a Big Sis would ensure that. I knew some girls who were bitter about not having a close SM, and even though they ended up being "adopted" by other sisters, there was still the explanation of what happened with your first sister-mom. With the combo plan, there's no embarassment and you have the potential of having two close relationships with your "mom" and big sis.
