It already bothers me to an extent that she is so involved with this but I understand how greek life can be for some people...so is it really an organization that does its own thing or just sugercoated groupies?

I actually have respect for the Iota Sweethearts. They are the only sweethearts I have met that show mad respect to the NPHC sororities and don't try be something they're not. I also respect them because they are a legitimate group (not a greek organization) and their legacy is respected and recognized nationally by Iota Phi Theta. If you go to their website, you'll find some information about how the first Iota sweetheart helped in getting their org established. The other groups you mentioned are not recognized or encouraged by the organizations.
If your girlfriend is following in the legacy of the Iota Sweethearts and is really helping the Iotas serve the community and administer programs, I don't see any problem with this. Many also use the Iota Sweetheart experience as a stepping stone to joining a sorority and I have found that this is something many of the Iotas encourage them to do.
