A Zeta is a woman who is community conscious and action oriented, and as such, someone who is continuously thinking of innovative ways to better the community around her. As a finer woman of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., I believe that I uphold these ideals. Ever since I was a young girl with no knowledge of what Zeta was, I have always possessed this insatiable need to help others. This need to help those around me only intensified as I went through my journey of life. When I learned about our amazing sorority, I not only, became instantly drawn to our founding principles, but also realized the opportunity to serve and reach out to others I would gain through the organization.

In every university there is always a Greek life that has opportunities to connect, make new friends, and also participate in activities. This all sound fine and dandy at first but not all Greek life is how it said to be. Yes it is a fun and you make friendships but, all that come with a price and that is at the start of initiation. The definition of initiation is the action of admitting someone into a secret, obscure society or group. Fraternities and sororities are a group of society and they abuse boys and girls wanting to be a part of something more, when they get treated like crap just because it is “tradition”. Those tradition were made by people who wanted to humiliate them to a point that they physiologically and physically can’t

This project helped me gain knowledge, I helped out the community, and I can learned new things about myself and others. People can learn what their strengths and weakness are in the field they are volunteering in and can develop the skills they need to better themselves. Volunteering not only is good for the community but, it’s also good for the person volunteering. When I volunteered at the Feast of Sharing, I felt satisfied and good knowing that I was helping out people who might not have been able to provide meals for themselves or their families. Someone’s self-esteem goes up and their stress goes down, knowing they are helping others in need. That means that they can live a healthier, more satisfying, lifestyle. It also improves someone’s ability to speak to others and gain communication skills so they can use in the future. Gaining all these abilities will help in everyday life from speaking to people to giving a helping hand. Because of me volunteering as a coach, I now understand what it’s like to try to control and teach elementary students, at the same time. It was really difficult but because of me going through that situation, I can now assume that if I do plan on being a coach one day, that I ,at least, am prepared on what I am getting myself into.

As I was driving back home from Rohnert Park, I started thinking on a big cultural event that can we have for next semester spring 2017. When I was in high school, there was this club named Raza, they use do to a 5 de Mayo celebration with Banda/Tamborazo and food. I started thinking that Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity Inc should so something similar to it. Have an event here at SSU, more like a baile type of thing but keeping it as a cultural event. I was thinking that we can invite Lambda Theta Nu Sorority Incorporated to help us. We can sell tickets for the event to make it even better.

I applied my experience to high school and initiated a club called HOPE, which stands for Helping Out People Everyday. I provided young minds the opportunity to voluntarily help people in need, with the intention to ingrain the sense that helping others should be second nature. I spent Saturday nights with my club preparing food and distributing them to individuals residing at the Urban Angel's homeless shelter in San Diego,
