You know your Brothers better then we do obviously. That being said, it's possible that being a big would inspire this guy to actually try to be a good Brother and role model.

I completely agree with this. If you keep casting this guy in the role of Lazy Ass Drunk, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It might also be that this NM has never had a friend like this (i.e. he's a little uptight/shy) and thinks this brother will help him become more well-rounded.

If they both want each other and the brother fulfills the requirements, go ahead with it. Not doing so will just prompt 1) angry brother since he does fulfill the requirements 2) angry pledge since he's being denied his first choice and none of his pledge brothers are 3) possible trickle-down with both guys' friends in the fraternity. Keep an eye on things, but not matching them will probably result in a LOT more drama than matching them would.

If you don't want this sort of thing to happen in the future, then you need to change your big/little process so that only the pledgemaster has a say in it.
