With De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde
When DLSU and DLSZ entered the UAAP in 1986, La Salle Green Hills was left without a membership in either the UAAP or the NCAA, thus starting a 17-year drought in a major collegiate league since its formal withdrawal from the NCAA in 1981. La Salle Green Hills however continued participating in several major grade school and high school leagues like the PAYA, Nike, RIFA Football League, Baseball Pony League,PRADA,MMBL,Fr. Martin's Cup etc. where a lot of athletes excelled and brought honor to LSGH and went on to play in the UAAP and the PBA.
De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, a brother-college of De La Salle University-Manila, applied for admission to the NCAA thru the efforts of then De La Salle University-Manila President Brother Andrew Gonzalez FSC and the La Salle Green Hills President Brother Bernard Oca FSC, who selected the Greenies to be the juniors team. Both De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde and La Salle Green Hills were admitted to the NCAA in 1998. Although the team name of La Salle Green Hills is Greenies, the school's official moniker is the Green Archer (taken from the former De La Salle Greenies of the, now defunct, De La Salle High School in Taft).
Since then they have won 4 General Championships and championships in various events, particularly football, where they are current 5 peat champions; lawn tennis, track & field, and swimming with a number of championships. The basketball team has also had a fair share of luck, but the closest they have gotten to the Championship was 3rd overall in 1999 and 2004-05. If third party circumstances (see Ateneo-La Salle rivalry) did not occur, La Salle Green Hills would have been the rightful team to be the juniors of DLSU.

great many kinds of poetry.”
