Alpha Phi: Alumnae Leadership

Using my leadership qualities to encourage others and uplift their abilities to their fullest potential will create a successful year for National Honor Society. Taking a leadership role in my freshman and sophomore year as a treasurer in Student Council has benefited my outlook of what it means to be a leader. As a treasurer, it’s my duty to have a clear vision of what is desired to be completed to benefit the whole class of 2019. I got out of my comfort zone and made a positive difference. I have continued to take up my leadership roles by running for officer positions and taking initiative by becoming chairpersons for multiple committees in student council. I built up confidence that leads to embracing change to council to benefit everyone’s participation and working

As a young woman who strives to make a difference both locally and globally, I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will aid in accomplishing my life long goals. The emphasis this organization places on assisting and supporting others through the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust, is truly a reflection of the public service initiatives that I make an effort to take part in. The opportunity to form a lifelong bond with other college educated women, who share some of the same morals and beliefs as I do, is phenomenal. I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will mean taking that initiative to become a part of something that’s bigger than myself, because I certainly can’t take on the world alone. The incredible

Being inducted into National Honors Society requires a student to demonstrate all of the four qualities many of our role models in the present and in the past have possessed, which include: scholarship, service, leadership and character. As I’m considered a candidate for this group, I already possess the quality of scholarship and it is my duty in this paper to show that I hold the other three important attributes needed to qualify for this institution.

I am privileged to be one of the remarkable students qualified to join Eureka High School’s National Honor Society. I have been looking forward to applying to this organization as it provides influential help in our society. I would be privileged to join this distinguished association because it would provide me with opportunities to get involved in my community. As a hardworking, helpful, and friendly individual, I feel that I would make an auxiliary member to this organization. I demonstrate the qualities that are necessary to join this prestigious society, including leadership, character, scholarship, and service.

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Incorporated purpose is to be of service to all mankind dealing with critical issues in communities domestically and internationally. What I have grown to understand an envision a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated to be, I accredit largely to the ladies of the Gamma Theta chapter. This has the result of attending many of the chapter’s events during my time at Hampton thus far. One of my favorite events was a screening of a documentary Girls Rising. I learned to appreciate every opportunity to learn and gain knowledge because in some parts of the world girls are restricted from receiving an education. A

In addition to scholarship, National Honor Society emphasizes community service. I have a passion for service and have been involved in service projects through my church, Dance Team, FFA and 4H. As I reflect on all of the community service events I have assisted in, I have realized that each time I have helped others, I have grown as a person. I have learned to be appreciative of all of the opportunities that my situation has provided for me. Leadership is yet another quality that National Honor Society builds. I have worked on developing my leadership skills through my participation in 4H, church youth group, FFA, and dance. I would like to gain more leadership experience by helping to organize the activities that National Honor Society has throughout the year. A positive character is recognized and developed by National Honor Society. I strive to always maintain a good character. I work hard and try to be a positive role model as a student, employee, volunteer, and friend. Character is important to me because of the leadership position I am put

A lot of the girls have been mentors and peer leaders to me before their process, and remained the same people after. I value their genuine nature. As for their presence on campus, it is very positive and community oriented. The young women of Xi Gamma always seem to go the extra mile when putting on programs for our campus community. I also respect the work that grad chapter puts in for the surrounding community. Since I am from the east side of Columbus, I can serve as a liaison between the organization and the surrounding community to help create more initiatives that cater to what the community needs the most, especially for young minority women. Lastly I will contribute my past leadership experience with executive boards, and class government to the organization. One of the biggest thing I learned throughout my leadership experience that you must always be a servant leader, you cannot tell a group a people that you are leading to do something you wouldn’t do yourself. If I am granted leadership I will lead by example in hopes to inspire others to do the

My interest in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, started a long time ago, in fact when my first interest was peaked I wasn’t even able to pursue my interest as I was still in high school. I was able to participate in several of the “groups” within Alpha Kappa Sorority Inc., such as the “Roses” and the “Pearls”.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc. has been helpful in establishing programs to benefit African American community and society itself. They’ve also participated in the 1913 Women Suffrage March. During the Great Migration, members assisted southern African Americans to adjust to northern life. The sorority has created a fund for students in need to set high standards of excellent. Throughout the depression, AKA worked with different groups in rural areas for self-improvement. In the 1950’s they continued to move public service and joined the American Council of Human Rights, National Health Office, Social Action, scholarship, and undergraduate housing.

Specifically taking the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority into account in present day. It is quite evident that the purpose and message from the earlier founders of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority still live on today. I interviewed Kayse Cuevas, a twenty-one-year-old senior at Oklahoma State University. She is a current and active member in the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. I asked Cuevas if she had any family members that were Deltas and she confirmed that she in fact did. Cuevas has a cousin that’s a Delta and her grandmother’s best friend is also a Delta. When asked what motivated her to become a Delta her response was inspiring. Cuevas said that her grandmother’s best friend is nearing her eightieth year of life and is still extremely active within the organization with helping in the community

As a leader, I try to inspire and have an influence on people. I see leadership as a responsibility to be a good role model for others. Therefore, from the people I have interacted with, I make sure no one is afraid to say or give an opinion on something and I’m there to listen. For example, in National Honor Society we learn the principles which are scholarship, service, character and most importantly, leadership. As the Vice President of National Honor Society, I have hope for success in each member. This year the president and I have teamed up to create new opportunities for all of the members of National Honor Society to contribute to our community. Not only do they lend a hand, but they are also willing to come up with new ideas to help,

Leadership is an important character trait of National Honor Society. Last summer I had the opportunity to lead a team during the off season. At the end of the regular season, there were no captains elected. Captains are in charge of organizing events and practices when the coaches are not allowed to communicate with the team. I took on the responsibility of organizing activities. I communicated with other players and got their input for the activities. I had to reach out to incoming freshman by organizing a group message as well as emailing parents. I also made sure to keep our coach updated on how everything was going.

Responsibility, leadership and commitment are often associated with the term “society.” Being a member of a club requires responsibility, leadership and commitment.However, society often secludes the fact that people who leave their mark on this world, also have imagination. The National Junior Honor Society should consider me for their program because not only do I possess these three traits, but I also have creativity. Creativity has created the most radical inventions ever

"The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind himself in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.” – Walter Lippmann

Being an Alpha Delta Pi leadership consultant is more than a woman who works for a national nonprofit that supports colligate women. It means being able to walk into a chapter and strategically assess the situation and know what pair of shoes to step into. Whether that means helping women understand ADPi chapter operations, being a recruitment and PR guru, or a sounding board for new ideas; being a leadership consultant is all about being able to be versatile while picking out which “shoes” to wear. Leadership consultants help our foundation with its mission – educate, lead, serve, and inspiring collegiate members. LCs help collegiate women see the possibilities of ADPi how it is instrumental in helping women achieve their dreams. I believe
