I need Assistence

[futuredukette1]

I really need help deciding which auxiliary group to join... They all seem so appealing to me.

Ivy Pearls- People say that I'm Ivy Pearl Material... Cuz I'm cute and prim and proper. This was the second group I knew about.

Zeta Archonettes- This group is known for their crazy (amount of) parties... And I love to dance and party. But of course I have my limits.

Delteens- This was the first group I actually knew existed. This group is known for being laid back and cool. But there's one problem... Delteens are drawing in people that are completely different from myself. And I mean that several people that don't like me want to join.

I'm living in Hattiesburg, MS and I realize that the overall personalities may vary from city to city. These are what i've heard about each one. but then again, I plan on moving this year, so I don't know...

Also, who should I go to to get information on interest meetings and things like that?

You're kidding right?

In before the lock!

I love how she mentions she lives in Hattiesburg, MS but her location reads "Now why would I tell you that?"

[violetpretty]

So these auxillary groups are high school versions of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta? How does this work? Does it make you a shoe-in to join the respective GLO in college, or is it actual membership in the group already or what? Is this the culture to join an auxillary group in high school in order to join a D9 GLO? I'm curious as to how this works. However, no one online will be able to give you serious advice on which one to join.

I can assure you that joining these type of groups will not guarantee membership into ANY of the Fab 4! Period. Check ya PM.

Speaking only for Delta Sigma Theta, the intent of Delta Academy (11-14 year olds), Delta GEMS (14-18 year olds) and Delteens (not as many chapters have Delteens anymore), these are not meant to guarantee a shoe in to become a Delta. 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.

For the NPHC members. While membership in an auxiliary does not gurantee membership do you feel it can give an advantage to the girl or the sorority? It seems to me that these programs will plant the seed of interest in the girls. Also, I would think that a girl would have "extra consideration" during the membership selction process if she does seek the same group in college.

I wouldn't say advantage, but I am sure it does plant a seed especially if their experience in the respective program was a valuable one and they gained a tangible positive impression about the sorority that sponsored the program.

Extra consideration? Possibly, but it depends on how the young lady presents herself. If she shows up to a DST event and says, "I was a Delta GEM or in Delta Academy so you should pick me to be a member of the sorority." 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."

I think the best part of this thread (besides CT4's limitless D9 knowledge, which she freely imparts on us NPCers ) is the fact that it's in the Sorority Recruitment forum.

What's an Ivy Pearl? Alpha Kappa Alpha does not have auxiliary groups. NOW, chapters do have various mentoring type programs for young ladies and/or men in elementary, junior and/or senior high schools. With each chapter, the program's name(s) vary (ies). Maybe you need to research a bit more.

ETA: You might want to check with those giving you your information. Maybe they can assist you in getting more information concerning these various groups.They seem to have the most accurate information.

I think the best part of this thread is that her username is just as presumptuous as her questions.

Lil' girl, I pledged the Iota Kappa of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at the University of Southern Mississippi, which is located in Hattiesburg Mississippi. There are NO Ivy Pearls in that area. In fact, there are no auxillary groups in Hattiesburg. We have an ungergrad chapter (IK) and a grad chapter (Theta Sigma Omega). Please know that the world is smaller than you think and if you REALLY believe that places like the V and the Hi-Hat allow UNDERAGE kids into their club, you are NOT from Hattiesburg. Please take your trollish tail elsewhere with that mess. I am too tired of little people like you claiming an organization for which you have NO knowledge other than what you can google on the internet. Please focus on your ACT and your subject area tests so that you can get into college.
