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."

I think the best part of this thread (besides CT4's limitless D9 knowledge, which she freely imparts on us NPCers

) is the fact that it's in the Sorority Recruitment forum.

I think the best part of this thread is that her username is just as presumptuous as her questions.

Ummm... No. I don't know FutureGreek1. And I don't see why anyone should get offended by my saying that I hope I'll be in Duke University. It's not like Duke is a sorority. I mean I'm smart enough to get into Duke so I don't see the problem.

Uh...have you had your acceptance letter from Duke and sent back your enrollment deposit to secure your spot in the incoming freshmen class? Only then are you a 'futuredukette'.

You should totally copy and paste this word for word and include it in your auxiliary group and Duke Admissions application.

Using CAPS LOCK is a definite guarantee you'll get in!!!

That sounds reasonable and fair.

This made me curious about something else - say a young lady joined an auxillary group of one of the NPHC sororities and ultimately decided to seek membership with one of the other NPHC groups once she reached college. Might it be held against her that she had a previous affiliation of some type with another NPHC group, or might it be looked upon positively that she had at least shown some interest in positive leadership activities as a teen (even if it happened to be through another group)?

As a side note, I don't know if other NPC groups have mentoring/auxillary programs like this, but Alpha Gamma Delta has a relatively new program called Rosebuds. The program is for preschoolers through 18 year olds (with separate age appropriate activities planned, of course).
