Sweetheart Organizations

[carebear]

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering how everyone felt about sweetheart organizations (Alpha Angels/ Sigma Doves/ Kappa Diamonds & Kappa Sweets & Pretty Girls Inc./ Iota Sweets/ Que Pearls) that are underground, we all know that they exist, although they aren't supposed to.

Such as the Kappa Sweetheart (Diamonds, Pretty Girls, etc) are deep down south (Texas, GA, etc)

Hey carebear, girl. I think I've seen this topic about 300 times You might want to do a search for it.

As far as Iota Sweethearts, they are the only organization of the sort that is allowed to exist because Iota Phi Theta became a member of the NPHC after such groups were outlawed. Hope that helps.

To expound upon your comment, thatgirl, regarding Iota Phi Theta Fraternity's Sweethearts, Iota Sweethearts are indeed recognized as a legitimate auxillary to their Fraternity. I got that directly from a top executive in Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

Now, in all actuality the NPHC had/has nothing to do with that. If the individual organization chooses to have and recognize auxillaries, they have that choice. The NPHC is not a governing body for the 9 organizations. That is a misconception that many "outsiders" have and perhaps some members.

The Iota Sweethearts, from I understand, are nothing like the Kappa Kourts, Alpha Angels, Omega Pearls, and Sigma Doves. While those auxillaries MAY be incorporated or what have you, they are not recognized officially and legitimately as an entity within those respective fraternities.

Now, as stated before, this topic (not specifically about Iota Sweethearts) is addressd in another thread. Bring that one to the top by posting if you wish to continue the discussion. This thread is being closed.
