I need Assistence

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."

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.
