Should you "pledge" an Auxiliary Group?

Especially by closed minded people. On my campus, which is an HBCU everyone, hearts, frats, and sororities have a mutual respect for each. I was an individual before I was a heart, and honestly only lames really dwell in such nonsense. I have plenty of sisters who are hearts and went on to be AKA's, Deltas, SGRHOS and Zetas, and are very active in BOTH of their orgs. As with any group whether it be by race, class, or any genre...a few individuals can stigmatize a whole group... yet, it should not take away all the good that hearts do. In some cases some hearts do more work than all the sororities combine. Respect is given, when it's received. If you do your research, for every 10 sorors...at least 4 were hearts. That's fact! Even some of the founders of Delta were Alpha Sweethearts....read it in their book In Search of Sisterhood. Please research deligently and chose what's in your heart to do.

I don't really say a whole lot, because within this forum, my Soror's tend to TCB! However, YOU are SADLY MISTAKEN!
I don't know who or what you are or are WANTING to be (or even understand your attempt to introduce yourself within this forum), however, I HIGHLY suggest that you take your lies and means of deception outta the Delta Forum!
If you wish to perpetuate these beliefs in YOUR mind, that's fine, but don't make the attempt to do the same here! You are outta your mind if YOU THINK or honestly BELIEVE that this will fly within this forum.
The thread was old and YOU should have kept it that way and just moved on.
Perhaps it is YOU who should re-read the book In Search of Sisterhood, by Soror Giddings and perhaps, your attempts at cognition and understanding will take form, place, and shape, if at all.

LAMES...I find that many who have a problem with hearts...are threaten by hearts..and if they are as "insignificant" as you claim they are to be...why perpetuate hate and exaggerated instances that you truly don't understand... I am a legacy of Delta...so when I speak of Delta, it is with the knowledge of 4 generations that came before me...not me mindlessly and carelessly talking out of my ass like many tend to do to make their point valid... I have respect for the history of all the Divine 9 and their history...but sadly many of the chapters of these orgs are becoming a mockey...because people lost sight of the very core of their orgs. It's not to throw up a sign, partywalk, do a call, are wear nalia every single day. It's to give back to the community..even if it means not asking in returning....the founders are probably turning in the graves to see their orgs being misrepresented by people who lost the vision they had. I can go on and on and on...but I have my opinion...and you have yours. Bottom line...I love being a sweetheart..and I love all my hearts that are in sororities...RESPECT is what it boils down to. Being HUMBLE, and knowing who you are in your letters and not letting the letters define the individual is the key factor. If you dislike...dislike based on our personal interaction...not simply because Im a heart. Many Deltas I personally know were Kappa Kittens, Sigma Souls, Alpha Angels, Omega Essence and Iota Sweethearts....and they simply don't care for this "beef" so why should you?

Your post was LAME.

Why should you? Are people's opinions bothering you?

Auxilliaries are one of those topics that are discussed on message boards ad nauseam but are not an issue in real life for most people. Auxilliaries don't really exist on most campuses and, years after undergrad, I have only met a couple of women who talk about their auxilliary membership.

As for your "I'm a legacy" and "Divine 9 has changed" rant, we've heard that over and over again. You know very little if you aren't a member, just like the many legacies of D9 orgs who will be aspirants for the rest of their lives. Legacies need to be humbled when they believe that the membership of their relatives grants them inside information or certain rights and privileges.

Oh, hush! There isn't a single chapter meeting going on anywhere in this world where the members are discussing ways to circumvent the threat of bogus auxiliary groups. No one cares about the "beef" BUT you so get a life.

And your legacy means nothing to anyone but you and it doesn't give you the credentials to speak on matters of which you are on the outside of and merely looking in.

Why don't you consider the legacy of the complete sentence, which you have bludgeoned to death by the overuse of ellipses...

I am doing a paper on the topic of auxiliary groups and BGLO's, and although I have heard(seen) many people say that NPHC banned "little sister's" I have not been able to find proof of this...if anyone has anything stating that. Give me a shout.

Is your paper on all of our auxiliary groups or just the ones that we no longer affiliate with? If the latter, it doesn't make sense to do a paper on those we no longer affiliate with as international organizations. However, some orgs have youth (little sister/little brother) groups and also adult auxiliaries. Are you writing about them? Do you even know about them?

Like it obviously has been communicated to you time and time again, with the exception of Iota Phi Theta, we don't have collegiate auxiliaries. If you don't believe it, call our headquarters and ask.

Each member of the NPHC is run autonomously. Enuf said.

That is a good question. I myself pledged to be a Diamond of Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity Inc. of Greta' Beta Chapter, and found that the experience was both positive and negative for me. I am Konduktor, 1 Klub, 10/27/98 @ 4:58:55, one in twelve parts. This experience was great, the bond between me and my sisters was wonderful. I was active in meetings, held a position in our RSO:Krucial Diamond Productions, as secretary, which I held and executed with great honor. We strolled, went to a Kappa Sweetheart Konvention, traveled, did community service, held events, had a Kappa Sweetheart Ball & I was appointed Mrs. Achievement, the whole wammy. However, when it came time for me to join a sorority, I was met by feelings that since I was already a Sweetheart, their attempts to "make" me were harder and resulted in the termination of everything because one of us got hurt.
