I don't care how long ago these groups were established.
As long as they realize they are clubs and not a real fraternity or sorority. They shouldn't be looked at as interest groups for children, either. Walking around as mini versions of our organizations is silly. Being a Kappa Leaguer now doesn't preclude wanting to become an Alpha when you go to college. So just let these youth groups be mentorship opportunities. They aren't lifetime commitments and have no use for line numbers, line jackets, etc. Maybe give them cute little YMCA-type tshirts and a certificate or something.
I've seen children trying to brand themselves and coming to different yards and pretending to be members. Even having beef with actual members of what they deem a "rival" fraternity or the "rival" fraternity's youth group. It's dumb when adults do stuff like that and even dumber and more detrimental when children do.
The groups for young ladies that Delta sponsors are not designed to be a mini-Delta or have those little girls walking around like "future Deltas" in any way. Any Delta(s) who is(are) modeling our nationally mandated mentor group as a pledge class or interest group needs to have that group removed from under her (their) mentorship.
