As a former Alpha Angel, I feel I have to lend my two cents to this topic. When I "pledged" (or whatever) the group, they were still legal and there was a rather large number of auxillaries out there. On my campus there were two, Kappa Diamonds and Alpha Angels. I was selected to join the group during a summer program held on campus for incoming freshman. Unfortunately we were too "naive" to really see what this (particular) group was all about. Basically, we were around to boost the Alphas egos and run errands for them while they pledged. After 3 months, I walked!

Many auxillaries claim they are viable alternatives to sororities! While they might be for some, they aren't for women who seek true sisterhood and want to be involved in community service. They are mostly for women who: 1) have (bad) reasons for not joining a sorority or 2) love being used by frat boys!
