How do I start a high school fraternity

[DGPhoney]

Maybe I'll make it simple, some sororities at the college level, do sponsor high school students, as a "Lower Level " of their organization, not giving them collegiate status, but as almost a whole another group by it's self, but it is more high school related , as in helping them through school, and stuff like that, I don't know if th NPC side does that , but NPHC does have some groups affiliated with high school groups, when I was in high school a friend of mine was a rhoer, which was sponsored by a local sigma gamma rho chapter.
Thats what I meant by sponsor high school students being sponsored by a "collegiate sorority"

"Delta Gamma Pi Sorority, only the best"

Clearly, this is an old thread but we had a fraternity and a sorority in my high school. The sorority was all white and threw little functions and such. It was kind of a big deal, I know they have several chapters throughout the state, and that the majority of the members went on to be a part of college sororities. They also had a black fraternity named the betas. They were big as well. I recall going to another high schools prom (a majority black highschool unlike my own) and the MC would "throw his love" to the Beta's there.

My great-aunt and grandmother were members of high school sororities. I have my aunt's sorority ring from 1925-- her letters were 'gamma delta phi' and I've not been able to find any info about them. There are some old photos of her and her sisters wearing the old-fashioned black bathing suits with their letters! I hope those photos haven't been lost to the ages because they're so cute--- I'll have to ask my mom if she has them.

My dad told me that my grandmother and her sorority sisters used to have a lot of get togethers and activities when he was growing up.

I learned all of this years after I pledged ADPi-- so much for being the first sorority woman in the family!

There were greek groups at my high school that were known by the adminstration for years. They started folding up over the years so that by the time I graduated in 96 there were only 2 actually in existance. By that point it was more of social thing then anything else. Normally one was members of the National Honor Society and the other had cheerleaders and dance team members in it. Neither was very active.

I know that this is an old thread, but since it was brought to the top.......

I have to make a clarification. See, here's the problem with other people making statments about organizations they don't belong to.........Sigma Gamma Rho's YOUTH group is called Rhoers. They are in no way shape or form a high school sorority. The specific nature of these programs vary based on the sponsoring chapter, but the main goal is to mentor young women and help them to see that there is a life beyond high school.

High school fraternities and sororities are a whole 'nother thing! My high school explictly banned them. I will let someone who has more initmate knowledge of these groups speak on them.

The red made it so I didn't respond sooner, so thank you VERY much for responding. Knowledge is power and misinformation has led to a lot of deaths.

I know this has nothing to do with this thread exactly, but this is something I've noticed quite often on GC in general. When someone brings back a thread from years ago, it gets pointed out how old it is. But when someone starts a new topic that has already been discussed, they are told to search for older threads. It's probably not the same people doing both things, but its like you can never win!

When someone bumps a thread and says "Hey, I was just thinking about this topic the other day, and so I searched and found this...anyone have anything else to add?" we don't think that's weird, and probably would not point out the age of the thread.

When someone quotes the OP (original poster) and tries to give them personal advice, or, better yet goes off on a complete tirade on them, then we think the person is weird and point out the age of the thread, and the fact that the OP probably doesn't care about "Does Chi Zeta at Billy Bob U haze?" because they probably have their PhD by then.
