It can probably be defined differently, depending on the organization and campus. We had a sweetheart group in my chapter in the 80s, and it was basically a little sister program. We called it our "Sweethearts" because our national fraternity banned little sister programs. We were being cute with semantics.
We never charged dues, and this could have been a big issue. If you charge dues, then you could be sued for full membership.
Many of our chapters do select a single sweetheart, but this is not the same thing.
