I don't understand why this gets so much debate. I WAS an Alpha Angel, I was never disrepected by any Alpha. I was never asked to sleep with anyonw. In fact we were told by the Dean on the Sphinxman line that if we slepp with any Alphas that would be on us and that was not going to make us Angels. We would be ruining our name not them. I didn't join to learn about greek life. I joined because I had friends that were Alphas (one of which later became my husband) and I had friends that were on line. the Alphas on our campus were very positive black brothers, dedicated to being involved in the community and uplifting our black community. They were the ones celebrating black women. Every year they did a tribute to black women were they honored various black women on our campus. Now keep in mind this all took place when pledging was out in the open. It was pure fun and nothing more. Now I'm sure there are those that did sleep with their brothers, but them being a hoe would have happened regardless of a sweetheart organization. I don't hink being a former member of a sweetheart organization, speaks to anyone's character. It doesn't make you less of a Delta or any other Sorority that you pledge. Let's face it, there are some Sorority members that was never part of a sweetheart org and their character is very questionable. Their are those were the biggest hoes on their campus. Somebody please explain to me ow being in a sweetheart organization, is representative of not being a strong women? Am I considered weak just because I was a Alpha Angel? If you went to school in the 90's you probably won't understand what the roles of sweethearts were during pledging. Also lets face it the black woman has always been the backbone of our men. If you know anything about the history of other organizations, you would realize they hold the black woman in high esteem. Lets not forget that the Sphinx guarded the pyramids.

I'm totally with Snoop on this one. I feel as though you don't need to join another org. to learn about Greek life. AS a matter of fact, they always boast about being NON-GREEK. You could've helped them plan their comm. service, and participated w/o being a sweetheart. I get shown love by a lot of people outside of my race/gender, but I'm not going to try to be associated with/fit in with them by any means necessary. I am me. And just refuse to be associated with any org. that does not represent strong women!! I just can't go the flunky route. Being a member of such org(s). is indicative of other characteristics about a person, be the true, or solely speculation. It's just not MY thing, or something I'd condone persisting in MY chapter.
