Question I'm a little confused about this sweetheart business.... help please :)

I keep hearing about sweethearts to fraternities and sororities and i wanted to know if anyone can really tell me what they are. I mean i know they are auxiliary groups. Auxiliary groups are there to help but sometimes i hear things about them wearing letters, having colors and mascots and things like that.... wouldn't that be almost like creating a new sorority or fraternity????

If you are talking about NPHC orgs, there is nothing to be confused about. Our orgs banned auxillaries in 1990 with the exception of Iota Phi Theta, which still nationally recognizes their sweethearts. To find out more about their sweethearts, visit their website.

For the rest of the NPHC orgs, auxillaries are no longer recognized or permitted. And for the record, auxillaries (such as the ones you're referring to) never were like sororities and fraternities since they don't run their own organizations.

Now wasn't that easy? No confusion.

"Sweetheart"s, as in the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi for example, ARE NOT auxillary groups. They are meant to be an award of honor for a young lady, usually greek, and there is usually just one of them awarded at a time. Little sister/little brother/big brother groups, on the other hand, have been banned by the NPC organizations and I believe all NPCs have gone on the record saying that they do not approve of their members participating in those type of groups associated with other greek organizations.
