I have read all of the above posts and just have to add my 22 cents. I became an Alpha Sweetheart a long time ago. I did it because I was just young and trying to be cute and fit in with the black greeks on campus at that time. I was also honored that they would ask me to do this. I was not pledged and didn't do anything degrading but I was there for them because the brothers on line at that time were my friends before they pledged and I wanted to help them.
I was told by another Alpha sweet at Howard that the Alpha Angels do pledge and that was a step towards getting into a sorority. I see nothing wrong with being in an auxiliary group. When I meet Alpha men now they tell me I am a sweetheart for life even though I am now very busy with my sorority. I think these organizations are good and positive because they do help each other. I just don't think anyone should be "pledged" in order to become a member. So anyone who reads this and is being pledged or intends to be -- I don't think they should do it!! JUST MY OPINION.

BE POSITIVE!!!
