dating a sweetheart and I'm NOT a greek

[DSTCHAOS]

All of the D9 sororities have members who were in sweetheart organizations.

As was stated earlier, the sweetheart experience will vary by the campus and the people involved.

Some say once a sweetheart or auxillary member, always a sweetheart or auxillary member but if you're asking if someone who is a sweetheart would be active as one once she becomes a sorority member, the answer is no.

Also, even though the young lady talks about being sisters to the Iotas (and that's fine if that's how she sees it), undergrad auxillaries of organizations in the NPHC (and again they are only recognized today by the Iotas) are (and always have been) viewed as little sisters or brothers. This is different from sorority and fraternity membership.

She brought her gdi date to the formal (no comment). Allegedly, it was based on politics of some older brothers. That was their choice for this year based on their own need/decision.

Basically my point is that there are various reasons a chapter would nominate and pick a sweetheart for. And even those can vary by year or by person nominated/chosen. Not all sweethearts have that negative stereotypes and people should stop lumping them together just as they would not want outsiders to judge all greeks the same.

Hey I PM'ed you
I have some questions about that..
