De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde, a brother college of De La Salle University, applied for admission to the NCAA thru the efforts of then De La Salle University 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).
