I think it's different if you are under the advisement of a national sorority or fraternity and DO NOT consider yourself in a sorority or fraternity. We have the Rhoer Club and Rhoers know that they are not in a sorority, but rather in a sisterly club for high school girls. They step, do community service, go to conferences, etc. but must keep their grades up to continue to participate.
IMO, sorority/fraternity membership should be reserved for college students. High school groups should not try to mimic national organizations. This also takes away from the prestige of pursuing a sorority or fraternity at the college level and can make high schoolers misinformed and unappreciative of the "real" experience and lifetime commitment that college organizations require. Scholarship should be their main focus anyway, not trying to be in a sorority or fraternity.
