My chapter makes it clear that Delta GEMS are not junior Deltas or anything of the sort. Delta GEMS = Growing & Empowering Myself Successfully which is a program that is mentorship in nature. We do many activities with the girls -- exercise, career and college fairs, test taking, time management, etc.

We do have an application, but it is not meant to be anything more than to see who is interested in being a part of the program and to know more about the girls as well as their goals in life.
CT - I think it's really neat that your organization offers these mentoring programs in some areas :)

Thank you. Delta Academy (1997) and Delta GEMS (2005) are national programs. :)

I wouldn't be as inclined to choose over the young lady who says, "I was able to be a part of Delta GEMS and/or Delta Academy in high school and from that I learned XYZ about Delta Sigma Theta and value the organization's contribution to Habitat for Humanity, preparing young ladies for careers in science and math, etc."
That sounds reasonable and fair.

This made me curious about something else - say a young lady joined an auxillary group of one of the NPHC sororities and ultimately decided to seek membership with one of the other NPHC groups once she reached college. Might it be held against her that she had a previous affiliation of some type with another NPHC group, or might it be looked upon positively that she had at least shown some interest in positive leadership activities as a teen (even if it happened to be through another group)?

As a side note, I don't know if other NPC groups have mentoring/auxillary programs like this, but Alpha Gamma Delta has a relatively new program called Rosebuds. The program is for preschoolers through 18 year olds (with separate age appropriate activities planned, of course).

I'm Sorry.
 
:( I'm not saying that I know I'm going to be in any auxiliary group and I know that I spelled assistance wrong... Excuse me. And as far as my screen name that isn't exactly an assumption. It's just something to look forward to. It would be so funny IF I actually ended up going to Duke University. I'll tell you IF I do. Also, I changed my mind about not telling and figured that no one would care enough to even CHECK my profile in the first place. I'm so sorry that I have so many problems.
Anyway, yes, they all are groups for girls from the middle and/or high school. They sometimes help the actual sororities do community service projects and they also throw some parties and things like that. Delteens are with Delta Sigma Theta, Ivy Pearls are with Alpha Kappa Alpha, and Zeta Archonettes are with Zeta Phi Beta.:(

:( Ummm... No. I don't know FutureGreek1. And I don't see why anyone should get offended by my saying that I hope I'll be in Duke University. It's not like Duke is a sorority. I mean I'm smart enough to get into Duke so I don't see the problem.:(

Uh...have you had your acceptance letter from Duke and sent back your enrollment deposit to secure your spot in the incoming freshmen class? Only then are you a 'futuredukette'.

LET US TRY AGAIN...
 
:( :mad: OKAY I'LL TRY THIS AGAIN... THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR. NOT ALL THEY DO. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE KNOOOOOOWN FOOOOOR. I KNOW THEY ALL HAVE VALUES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. LOOK STOP LOOKING FOR THINGS TO PICK AT ME ABOUT AND LOOK AT THE WHOLE THING. I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO DO HELP OUT AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY. ACTUALLY THAT'S WHY I ACTUALLY CONSIDERED JOINING A TEEN GROUP. AND I'M MUCH MORE THAN WILLING TO MAKE THIS A COMMITMENT BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR ME TO DECIDE IF I GOT SOME HELP FROM SOME PEOPLE THAT I THOUGHT KNEW HOW TO MAKE A DECISION LIKE THIS. AGAIN THESE GROUPS ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL!:mad: :(

You should totally copy and paste this word for word and include it in your auxiliary group and Duke Admissions application. :)

Using CAPS LOCK is a definite guarantee you'll get in!!! :D

Come on you all, there is no reason to go after the girl in this manner. She wanted to get some information--she may have been misinformed about these organizations (or even their existence), but that doesn't mean you should talk down to her, particularly by equating the fact that she didn't spell check, or that she :rolleyes: used caps lock, to her intelligence level, or ability to get into Duke. There are many very intelligent people in the world who cannot spell. If you don't like what she's saying, simply don't comment. The thread will die, and you will be happy. Conflict solved!

The last thing I want to do is worry about getting into a club and I know for a fact that I'm not from Hattiesburg and i'm proud of where i'm from but I know what they have here cuz believe it or not I live here I could care less if they let them get into clubs or not. If I offended you I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I meant no harm by it. I was just asking out of curiosity. Oh, and I'm not claiming anything. I'm just asking about them.

I'm very good at english. I just had a moment there. I'm sure that
we all have them. I just didn't bother to use spell check. Thank you so much for your help. I think I was about to cry. I'm not trying to be a victim or anything but I get looked down on every day of the week and It doesn't help being looked down on by people I don't even know. I was hoping that I could go somewhere where I could be accepted. And Again, the things I said about the groups (particularly Zeta Archonettes) are what they are known for by people at my school, some people who aren't in any of the groups, and some parents of students of Hattiesburg High.

also some of the people from some of the groups.
