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.

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.
