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."
