Does your chapter have a sweetheart?

[AXOeva]

My chapter was colonized a couple of years ago and we were told by our consultants that we were not allowed to have a sweetheart and that Headquarters did not allow it. Now I have heard that that is not true. Does anyone out there know for sure? Do your chapters have sweethearts?

No - Nationally, we do not recognize sweethearts. It is in our National Governing Documents, by-laws, and the Panhellenic green book, that we do not recognize sweethearts, auxillary members (such as big brothers), or auxillary programs.

Some chapters do have them -- but they serve as merely a "recognition" type role (ie, thanks for all the help that you've given the chapter). But - these are still technically not allowed according to HQ.

PM me if you need more info - I just got all this from our area consultant, and she explained it all a little more, but too much for me to try to type here.

We have a Carnation Man that we vote on every year. It is just a recognition thing and he gets to be on the composite. :)

Sorry to crash, but is this really in the Green Book?

I know little brother/sweetheart/auxiliary GROUPS are prohibited, but as far as picking one guy as your sweetheart as a recognition, lots of NPCs do that. Plus since we laud our sisters who are chosen International STG White Rose and things like that in our magazines, it would be kind of hypocritical for us not to allow the same thing.
