FOCG of Sigma Rhomeo broke away from SGRho in 1980 the NPHC ruling did not affect the order.

I jusr recently heard that the sororities have guys that are in this type of groups. Is that true? What are they called? When I saw those sweethearts they were head to toe in Krimson and Kream. Some even have nalia? How many are out there? What exactly is that they are supposed to be? Do they have websites and forums and actual pledge processes like greeks? Do they function like Greeks? Sorry so many questions Just curious about this though `

I can speak about APO to a degree.
While APO as a National Organization has never had any official, national-level auxiliary groups, many of our chapters in the past did have them when either we (or our chapters) were all male.
Many APO chapters had 'chapter sweetheart' groups. When we went co-ed, many of these groups merged into the chapters.
I know out west that many chapters have "Phyettes". I have no idea if these groups still exist.
Tau Chapter at Univ of Florida has the "Jewels of Tau". This group has since split off as an independent group of about 2-3 chapters.
Several of our chapters have (and still have) associations with their local chapter of either Omega Phi Alpha or Gamma Sigma Sigma. Please be advised that APO, OPA, and GSS are all separate and independent groups. While all three groups have common interests and the like, there are no formal links.
Basically, as APO was service Fraternity, these auxiliary groups allowed women who wanted to do this service with our all-male chapters could do so. OPA & GSS allowed them to do so in their own organizations, many times with their local APO Chapters. The 'sweetheart/auxiliary' groups were more closely tied in, but not sure how. APO did (and still does) have a 'sweatheart' pin. No idea of the insignia of the Phyettes or Jewels of Tau. OPA & GSS have their own insignia, etc.
hope this helps.

Wow....
I did my "sweetheartship" in 1989 - just before we were so called "banned". The experience was golden and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Yes, we had line names and numbers and were lightly 'pledged' by the older sweethearts (most of which were in sororities by then), but one of the first things were were told was NOT to disrespect the ladies of Zeta Phi Beta in any way shape or form (I'm a Sigma Sweetheart). We had a great relationship with the Zetas (no animosity, just blue and white love all around) - maybe because a lot of the Zetas on the yard were Sigma Sweethearts, or maybe because we knew our boundaries - THEY are the sisters of Phi Beta Sigma, not US. All that to say - Blue Sweeeeeeeet!!! Always in my heart!

i am very interested in this thread. i never knew anything about auxillary groups, as my school does not have any. i looked at the picture and i am wondering, if members of these groups wear greek letters, does this suggest that they are initated members into that organization? or is it because there are other words on the shirt does that constitute as an etirely different organization? some people have posted positive, other negative, comments and perspectives on these groups. how am i able to learn a little more about them. its just something new to me

I am not a member of any aux org, but they are not initiated members of that (I will say parent org for a lack of better words) org.

That is not an auxiliary group. That was a frat/sorority switch day at that school.

OmegaPDPrez.....that second picture you posted is not affiliated by any means with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and there are a couple of threads about that photograph.

sorry about that. i dont know of the threads. but this picture was on a site that referenced the sorority of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Actually, both pictures were. I figured the first was a joke, probably a tribute sort of thing, ive seen it at another HBCU. But the second one made me think a little. And i was just wondering. Especially from some comments i heard about auxiallry groups.
