It doesn't matter if these "little sisters" aren't formally organized -- if she's a member of an NPC sorority, and NPC bylaws clearly state that they're not to be officially associated with XYZ fraternity as a "little sister", then that's going against policy.
The NPC is very clear when it encourages its members to not officially associate themselves with little sister labels, sweetheart orgs, or high school auxilliary groups.

There's a difference between "discouraging" someone to join a group like this and "forbidding" them. The former wording just means they really don't care for it; the latter wording means if you do so, you terminate your membership.
There is a very, very, VERY huge difference between an honest to God little sister program where they have a rush, a pledging period and basically function like a sorority, and a sweetheart type recognition that h_n_l is describing. They probably shouldn't call them "little sisters" though because (as shown by this thread) people get the wrong impression. They are sweethearts. Sweethearts are obviously OK with NPC groups as any international fraternity sweetheart I've ever read about was an NPC member.
Russ and probably Tracy and I remember REAL little sisters, which is what the NPC and NIC got rid of. This ain't it.
