One of the African-American girls got some kind of "Delta Sigma Theta" scholarship - I didn't hear exactly what it was because I wasn't paying that much attention, but I noticed because of the Greek letters. Is that common, for BGLOs to give scholarships to incoming freshman? Would that imply their interest in the girl, so that she might say to someone "well I'm going to be a DST in college"? Or might it just be because her mom/sister/grandma was a DST?

THe sororities and fraternities of the National Panhellnic Council are public service organizations. Scholarship is but one aspect of the services we do for the community. As stated many of our chapters give scholarships, and many deserving youth benefit from them. Our only goal is to promote education and better lives for the less fortunate.
As far as soliciting membership, I can't even count on all my fingers and my toes how many people I know who recieved scholarships from one org and pledged another. Not to memtion the greeks I know who are still benefiting from another orgs scholarship program, and they got these scholarships AFTER they pledged.
