I think I have said this before. I WAS an Alpha Angel, back in the day. My freshman year. It was all about helping some positive black brothers while they were on line. Was it fun, hell yeah! Do I think there is a need for sweethearts, aux., etc (its all the same) now, NO. Now there are some that sleep with there brothers, but I think for the most part most are not like that. Now do I still consider myself an Angel. NO. That was left behind when I pledged Delta. Delta is my first love even before I was an Angel, during and will always remain. Do I have pleasant memories of being an angel? yes. Do I think someone should not be a Delta because they where a sweetheart? NO. Just leave it behind. I would never wear a Soror shirt with something saying Alpha Angel. I think there are more importanmt things to focus on like rasing the GPA instead of whether someone was a sweetheart.

Soror, you opinion on this is a valid one. It is just not a national rule. Like many things, there are campus and regional variations. I can appreciate that on your campus things do not work that way, on others they do. I know many, MANY older Sorors (And I mean 15, 20, 25+ years in Delta) who were members of auxiliaries. I am sure you would not see them as any less a Soror. That should extend to more recently initiated Sorors who were in auxiliaries. As long as se puts DST first, and is a woman of strong character (not an example of the stereotype you are describing) I would expect all Sorors to embrace her just the same.
Now as McCoyRed said, I do not understand continuing to wear auxiliary para after becoming a Delta. To me that is NOT putting Delta first. I see those things as part of a former life that should be resigned to nostalgia. Like everything else, that is just my opinion.
