I entered college in 1989 when a few of you were probably still in junior high, so to not understand what sweethearts were back in the day is understandable. Its kind of like this, if you aren't a Soror, you could never really truly know what being a Delta is all about. Again I left Alpha Angel behind me when I crossed the burning sands (should i dare say that) into Deltaland. And would never refer to myself as an Alpha Angel. But does being a Angel make me weak or a lesser Delta or put into question my character? No.
To play Devil's advocate (because that's what a 6 does) there are some sweethearts that pledged harder than those in a Sorority.

In orde to adequately be coined a groupie/flunkee, there must be two or more parties (i.e., orgs.) involved. How can I be a Delta, and a Delta groupie? It just doesn't work that way. At most one could suggest I am a follower--which is not the care, nor one of the accusations I had about sweethearts. Just to reiterate, I am nowhere near being a follower!!! My point is, you can't compare sweets to sorors. and why wold anyone be groupies to a MALE org. which has a main purpose--understandably--of promoting brotherhood. Because we all know DST is to promote sisterhood, and uplift women since we are afterall women ourselves. I tell all males interested in being Delta flunkees the same thing. Associate yourself with something that promotes what you are first. Public Service is great, which all orgs. promote, but be a strong woman, and affiliate yourself with orgs. for strong independent women, not women who are male flunkees.
