Auxiliary groups have always been a big debate no matter what campus you go to. After joining my frat, I was two-sided about auxiliaries. I believe they are harmless if they respect the fact that they are not a sorority and do not need to compete with Greek Letter organizations. However, most of the time this doesn't happen and you get all these conflicts on campus. Also, these auxiliaries have been sometimes labeled as "groupies". All in all, I think that if they just respect themselves and and respect other sororities on campus and know their place, it'll all be alright. Either way, we can't stop them. And to all who dont know, they ARE official. Iota Sweethearts are part of the Iota constitution. KKI and AAI are independent and official INCORPORATED organizations. AAI has it's own national headquarters, their own national conference, and their own intake for membership. Whether an Alpha chapter is affiliated with AAI or not, a group of girls can join on her own...you can't stop 'em. What we, as fraternity men, need to do is to education these young women about being a part of these orgs. Tell them the pros and cons. Tell them that they cannot disrepect the sororities because they themselves are NOT one and dont have the historical background like one. If they want to rep and make their calls, sure....go ahead and let them, they worked and earned it. But the disrespect has to stop.
