As far as your question, 33girl, you're correct, I didn't answer it--I apologize.

It's an individual thing--it's not based on what chapter you are a member of. In my chapter, we have pledge moms from Fiji, Beta, Delt, Sig and I'm sure there are more. I know Fiji pledge moms span at least five out of seven houses.

What I'm saying is that I've never heard anyone say anything negative about it. It's not a huge deal on our campus--it happens but it's not something that you run around and tell everyone and brag about...it just is. It's not even a major tradition--if someone came in and put a stop to it--everyone would be like "oh...okay." It's just a minor thing that we do.

We did something similar on my campus...your big asked one of her male friends or boyfriend in a fraternity to be your "pledge dad". Almost every chapter did this. I had pledge "sons" in three different fraternities, so technically they had some sort of relation, but nobody really cared. It mainly meant that I bought them something with my letters, got them drunk on pledge mom night, and then they could call me if they needed a date to something.

That said, it's a risk management nightmare waiting to happen, and our HQ told us to stop.

Given how unglued sorority members seem to become over big/little relationships and issues in this day and age, I can't imagine anything like this happening without drama.

I don't know of any national or international NPC groups who would be down with this type of thing, including the OP's.
