There was never a hazing problem when I was a student, I was very shocked to read about this.

I'm having trouble understanding why one would submit to physical violence in order to join an auxiliary.

Does KKI = Krimson Something or Other?

Perhaps it's because I have never gone to school that had then, but I think it's so odd. Is this group recognized by Kappa Alpha Psi as an official thing?

Krimson Kourt

KAPsi nationally does not recognize any of these auxilliary and "little sister" groups.

Oh ok, well then what's the point of joining it?

I think there's another one called Kappa Diamonds I heard of here on GC.

I mean, perhaps it's my naive NPC mind, but why go through all that for K and a <>? You just pledged a letter and a shape. Seriously? Like Sesame Street.

Some of these organizations have become their own entities and operate independently of these frats but still acknowledge their history, etc.

There are a few of these organizations for each of the BGLO frats. The only frat that nationally and officially recognizes their auxilliary is the Iotas with the Iota Sweethearts.

There are people who wonder why we go through ANYTHING for our symbols and so forth. I don't think too highly of auxilliaries in general but my opinion varies by the campus. Some of the auxilliary members I knew 10+ years ago were really great women who were extremely active on campus and in the community. 99% of the ones I knew used it as a stepping stone to a BGLO sorority.

*Dead* at a letter and a shape.

I'm would think that auxiliaries were very different when they were accepted as actual auxiliaries of the various organizations than they are today. And, I can't begin to understand why membership in an auxiliary would help with membership in a BGLO unless other auxiliary members were also part of the organization of preference. But, as that is a private issue of membership selection, I will see my way out.

Now I've got this image of all of the Sesame Street characters going through the process...

Oscar as Pledgemaster?

Count von Count going "52. 52 push-ups ah-ah-ah"

"elmo loves getting ready for probate"

Of course, most of them normally don't have feet, so the stepshow would be rather odd.

Though to the average non-greek, is a woman joining a group represented by a K and a Diamond any stranger than joining a group represented by a K and a Triangle? (Kappa Delta (an NPC sorority))

^^^ LOL!

ETA: I've been to Denton plenty of times and have yet to see a KKI. I had no idea they even had a presence up here. I can't believe these women would subject themselves to hazing for an auxiliary organization. I didn't even know they were recognized on the campus. Oh well.

They are NOT recognized on campus, which means they had to really be out there with their "process" to get caught. The rumor going around is that they were under surveillance by the campus police who arrested them and then turned them over to denton police. I mean come on, locking ppl in closets... wtf? My friend is the Director in the apts. where they got arrested and had no idea what was going on!

It was my understanding that there was a chapter at either North Texas or a city wide Denton Chapter, b/c when we were about to bring my sorority to campus 2 of the girls dropped from our interest group
to pledge KKI instead,

I hear one of them was among the 5 who were arrested

On some campuses, it's just like networking in any other campus organizations; learning and researching along with an informal and unofficial interest group that was formed by the women themselves; or a way for some young ladies to figure out if and why they want to be in a sorority beyond the informal sisterhood of an auxilliary.

This is not membership information.

Hell, they wanted to get caught. How can you be off campus and unrecognized, but still have red flags popping up? Denton is small, but not THAT small.
