I was a former (notice I said former) Omega Sweet back in the day when it was considered a stepping-stone (most of my BSs had been Omega or Kappa Sweets.) Once I became a Pyramid the Sweet identity went away.
As everyone has said, we did not go to sorority events acting like we were peers. We knew we weren't and so did everyone else. We were humble and that is the biggest difference from today. Oh and we were legal. Only the Iotas have legal Sweets, so to me in spite of their "incorporating" into their own orgs. as long as they carry the name of a fraternity they are bogus.
Oh and the reputations associated with them today as opposed in the past is a whole 'nother subject. And for that the frats share the blame.
