I have a good friend that's a Groove and a girlfriend's brother is also a Groove. Apparently they have been in existence as a social fraternity for quite some time. There is a pretty big Groove/Swing contingent here in the Philadelphia area.
The Swings are the female contingent. They are not an aux though.
From what I have grown to understand, the Groove/Swing relationship is a lot similar to the Zeta Phi Beta/Phi Beta Sigma relationship. They are like brother and sister. I guess it can also be equated with Phirst Pham (Alphas & AKA's), Coleman Love(Deltas & Omegas) and Indiana Love (Kappas and SGRhos).
I really don't know what their ideals are (I haven't really researched them). They do just about everything else-they "pledge", they step, they have gatherings. They even have National Conclaves. The only thing that's really different is that they are not a BGLO.
Hope this helps to shed some light on things...
