I was a Theta Xi little sister in the seventies. Getting to be a fraternity little sister was a huge big deal at Auburn and I had a great time but looking back, I can see how sexist it probably was! We were always being exhorted by our president to bake cookies for the boys or do other nice things for them and if a girl had a good big brother or little brother, nice things were done for her too (she might get flowers, jerseys, etc.). If she had a cruddy big or little who ignored her and didn't even call her or come by, then she was pretty much spending lots of time and money on these guys with little in return.
It was like a minor kind of sorority. We had an official name--the Blue Iris Auxiliary--with a pretty initiation ceremony and we had official jerseys. I think all of us were Greek with a large percentage of DZs. Like aopirose said of her groups, Theta Xi never asked us to do anything bad.
Ballerina was a Pi Kappa Phi Rose the last 2 years. I don't know how different it is from what I did.
