Sweethearts
(I posted this in the general Greek Life forum, but then I found out that we had our own. Maybe I could get better answers here.)
I'm a TKE Sweetheart at my university. It's a relatively small university; TKE is one of three social fraternities on campus. None of our Sweethearts, so far, have come from sororities; it's not a 'little sister' type thing here, nor a girlfriend or wife thing. I'm neither a 'mascot' or a 'groupie' and I definitely don't bake them cupcakes every week -- I don't have that much time and probably wouldn't if I did. Haha. (I say these things because I saw them suggested in other threads!)
I was made Sweetheart in 2001, when our chapter chartered; since then, I have seen a big difference in just how much these new, younger brothers know about what a Sweetheart is. (And how much respect they show!) Half of them don't even know whether or not a Sweetheart comes to meetings, which is pretty ridiculous.
Now, I have my own views on what a Sweetheart is, should represent, etc. -- but I'm kind of curious to hear other people's. What do we mean to YOU?
