I think to classify it as a "tag along" is very harsh and unfair. SAs (when they were existed) were ASKED to participate by the members of the fraternity or sorority because they liked them and felt for them in what is a crappy situation. That's like saying if you had a friend with no family and invited her to Thanksgiving dinner, why would she want to come and be a "tag along."

This is like little sister organizations...if you don't know anyone personally who did it or weren't Greek in the time period when it was acceptable, you really can't judge it. Especially using today's standards, when it seems sometimes the business side of Greek life way overrides the friendship side.
