Hi prettygyrl,
These organizations were banned by the NPHC organizations back in 1990. (The exception for Iota Phi Theta's sweethearsts. They didn't join the NPHC until after the ban and their sweethearts are 'legal'.) In some places they still exist but they are not officially affiliated with the fraternity they 'represent'. There are soooo many I couldn't possibly name them all. Just a few are Alpha Angels, Sigma Doves, Kappa Kourts, and Que Pearls. Yes, there were even some that the sororities had, like Zeta Knights and Delta Beaus. (I don't know the names of the AKA and SGRho groups) A lot of them do have 'nalia and there are places you can buy stuff for them. I have never run across an 'official' site for any of these groups, but there are a lot of 'chapter' websites out there. If you want to see some more just do a search on Blackplanet and I bet you can find a lot of members of these auxilliaries, lol. (Anyone who's ever been on BP knows what I am talking about!!)
Originally these groups were formed to 'assist' the members of the organization they were affiliated with. I have heard that some of them 'pledge'. They are not supposed to function like greek organization, but some of them do. (For example, stepping, doing calls, calling each other soror, etc.)
I hope I answered some of your questions!
