I had an Alpha Phi little sis, and we ended up becoming good friends.

We do the same thing. Apparently I am the great grand big sis to a TKE or two. And some of my sisters have "little bros" in various fraternties.
At one point my organization WAS a little sister program, but those were all nixed quite some time ago. While we weren't little sisters anymore, we carried on our own traditions and formed the organization that I'm an alumna member of today.
It's kind of a trip though. I once had an old Chi Delphia member from back in the 70s (and on the opposite coast) sign our guestbook. And one of our founding sisters brought in her original Chi Delta member badge. It looked VERY similar to Delta Chi's. The history blew me away.
I do have a question for you though... those of you that do the lil bro/lil sis thing with individual members: have you ever put together a formal family tree? My grand lil sis asked me about adding her lil bro to the tree... I said no, but I was just curious what everyone else does.
