I completely agree with you on this. The big sis in the situation will often get hurt after putting a lot of time and money into the process. If you find someone in the chapter who you are closer to than your big, great! But...do they really need to be your "Big Sis?" The only exception I can think of would be what happened with my real sister. Her big sis graduated the semester after my sister was initiated. She loved her Big Sis, but she was "adopted" by another older sister who took over as a mentor in the chapter after her original sis went alum.
