My chapter used to assign "Bid Day Buddies" on bid day, and they would serve as sister-mother in the initial new member ceremony until the new members got their "real" sister-mothers a few weeks later. I always thought it worked out fine, because not everyone knows who they're going to get along with right off the bat, and it was nice for everyone to have some time to get to know each other before committing to their sis-mom/sis-dot. We also received the directive to change this practice this semester, which we did, so right now we're pretty much just waiting to see how the relationships pan out.
BTW, my chapter always called them big sis/little sis, but they meant the same thing as sis-mom/sis-dot. For the past few years, we've been trying to break everyone of this terminology, but not very successfully. (The same goes for pledge/new member, rush/recruitment, etc.)
