Well I have to admit that becoming an auxiliary gave me the opportunity to understand better what the greek system was all about. It is true that a lot of things change from one school to another and definitely from one organization to another ( duh!!
) but really it helped me determine whether or not this was really for me because I could see the interaction between the members and what being in an organization entailed as far as responsibilities to the chapter... and all the work that non greeks do not get the chance to really see.
Anyway that was a good thing for me and although some sororities on campus hated us at one point (and I am choosing my words carefully) and although I have heard stories about people going so far as having to renounce their little sister past when on line for sororities. I know this is something that I am actually happy to have done because at the end of the day, I came out strong of what I had learned from this experience. For all of you that are in a sorority I have to admit that I cannot even understand why you would get offended when little sisters step, partywalk or even throw signs. All these things don' t mean anything when done by them. They don't do any community service, they don' t put together programs, there is barely any selection process, they don' t do any of those things that make a great sorority. Why bother really. True you work hard to get the privilege to step, to partywalk, to make your signs and calls but guess what? Nobody will mistake a little sister for a sorority member. Bottom line: this is not the same thing and definitely not the same level. Anyway that was my two cents. I would suggest nonetheless that if you are close to your brothers, then when they have an auxiliary line get involved because you will have the opportunity to get the real deal about these girls. Many of them will want to pledge later. Take this opportunity to get the real information about them and get past that image the prospects put together to be accepted in your sorority. Take care and have a blessed day. (PS I do hope there are no typos here!)
