Which goes to show you that it's not always done for PR or politics. I only said that bit because sometimes you hear a person say "I want a Big/Little in XYZ."
And who said anyone wore anyone else's letters?? The only girl who can wear my letters is our Sweetheart; whether stiched, print, iron-on, etc. You'll never see a girl walking around my school in a fraternity's letters unless she is their Sweetheart.

I've seen people who do this at other schools (not mine, thank God) actually get the other group's letters on their jackets. Plus some other people in the thread mentioned wearing letters.
The way I look at it, it's kind of like AI...if a fraternity man asked me to be a sweetheart because he appreciates that I've supported his fraternity that would be one thing, but I can't imagine asking him if he'd be my big brother or a guy asking a girl that. Especially if they haven't really done jack for the group, they more want the connection with that single person.
Oh and to PhiMugirl07, you might want to be careful with phrases like "degrading women through the original program" as there are several GCers on here who pledged and joined little sister groups.
