This is the way that ours worked.
The "old head diamonds" came in and worked with us and quite a few of them have moved on to their various sororities. They made us learn stuff that i guess a line pursuing a sorority would about each other. We had to be very sharp when it came to knowing about each other. We bonded with those ladies, and the guys were basically around. We were more of their (the guys not the girls) little sisters. At least that is the way that my group was, but we never did anything right anyway.
The connection that we had with the girls was that we got to know them and it help take away some of the fear when it came to getting to know them. They could already see that we were willing to work for something that we wanted to be a part of. Although they don't know what it is that i want to be, they know me and i feel very comfortable talking to them (some of them anyway).
I have seen the topic of service on here a lot. I am fully aware that you can do community service on your own, but working with a larger group is still service. Our big brothers always had us out somewhere doing something, be it from delivering sandwiches at midnight to a homeless shelter to picking up trash on the highway... service was done. and it was also through the service that you met the ladies. So i do believe that being a member of an auxilary group has benifitted me.
