WHATS UP WITH AUXILIARY GROUPS?

[SigEpYoda]

Just wondering why most auxilary group were banned. I know ours was banned because they national office was afraid that ladies in auxilary groups would sue our organization to be admitted as a full member. Plus the NPC was getting pissed off about it. This was back in the early eighties or mid eighties. Not really sure. Anyone herd anything else?

Hi, all.....I know that this is an old thread, but this comment just caught me off gaurd.

The Women of Omega Service Organization, Inc. is not an auxillary organization. It is a service org based in New Jersey. There are quite a few NJ members who are not members of any auxillary organization. As a matter of fact most women who show intrest in new Jersey don't even know what auxillary organizations are. There isn't much Greek life in my town.
There are chapters of WOOSO, Inc in MI and NY as well.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Thanks NicoleRay for that clarification. I am National VP of WOO. There are chapters in FL, GA, & TX as well.
Wynna,
Thanks for your response.
To Uh-huh,
Get registered!!
To Supafly,
I agree 100000000%
I have many friends, associates, etc. who are Greek. When I see them, I see them as individuals "not so and so the XYZ". So what, what's the big deal. We are all supposed to be about uplifting our people and community. I suggest this tread be closed. This topic is getting tired real QUICK.

kinda reminds me of an old song

She tells dirty jokes,
She's the Sweetheart
Of six other guys."

As a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc and a member of the an Auxiliary group Groove GEMs of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship Inc. I need to add my .82 cents (1920 & 1962)

I feel that being in an aux is what you make of it. If you let yourself get treated like a hoe then that is how people will treat you, but if you hold yourself to a higher standard then you will gain the respect of others. Being a GEM did not prevent me from becoming a Zeta. There are always going to be sterotypes about aux as well as other groups but it is up to the individual to decide what they are going to believe. Are they going to let a few peoples actions shape their judgement of the whole org or are they going to look at the org itself ? As for me I will look at the org itself b/c if I looked at a few peoples actions I wouldn't be a GEM or a ZETA.

Members of BGLO's want respect for themselves and their organization, and out of the other side of their mouths disrespect those who dont subscribe to their line of thinking and take a different path.

But it is not fair to sterotype. Sterotyping is divisive, destructive, not to mention just stupid. You cant stand it when you(your organization) are sterotyped. So why do it?

There are some auxilliary groups that probably don't get stigmatized because they are as unrecognizable as their "big brother" organization is. Honestly speaking, of course.

Silly.

Am I the only one who had never heard of the Grooves having GEMS?

[Blu-Sigh]

I completely understand that there are some places where people might not know about Grooves and therefore don't know about GEMs which is fine, but what I am getting at is allowing the actions of a few people paint the picture of an org is not the best way to look at things, but then again to each his own.

I know about Grooves. Didn't know they were significant enough to have sweethearts. LOL. Are the GEMS a blip on the radar when folks talk bad about auxilliaries? I'm really curious.

"Stereotypes are bad, mmmmkay." South Park is great.
