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).
