Benefits Of Being A Member Of Phi Theta Kappa

Sororities encourage one to become involved in the community, develop leadership skills and pursue lifetime goals with passion. The sisterhood that sorority members experience helps females build confidence and lasting friendships that are beneficial throughout their lives. Sorority members are also granted special privileges on and off

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

The objectives of Alpha Phi Alpha are to stimulate the ambition of its members, to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the cause of Humanity, Freedom, and Dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form or manhood and to aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic, and intellectual status.

As a child, growing up in a low income household has made me humble and attentive to other’s situations. Similarly, my South Asian family has instilled a strong nature to serve others, which is the reason I have been involved in service learning activities throughout my undergraduate career, such as LIFT – Chicago and Refugee One. Even post-graduation, my work at Wekaw caters to urban underserved populations. In graduate school, I wish to continue this involvement in campus organizations which enforce diversity inclusion, whether it is joining a volunteering club aiding community populations or conducting research with immigrants. This is one aspect of diversity I can contribute to Rosalind Franklin University, and is also why my professional goal is to work in a community hospital serving diverse populations.

The National Honor Society has gave me the opportunity to help others in ways that I could not have done on my own. I have had the opportunity to help many in our community with our multiple different community service projects. Last year we sold raffle tickets for a gift card basket. All of the money that we earned went to a family in our community who had been through devastating house fire. They lost not only there house but all of their personal belongings too. The fact that we have the opportunity to help those around us makes the service projects seem even more meaningful. We also took up donations of paper products to give to the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House is a place where families can stay while they have a child at the Ruby Memorial Hospital. They can stay there for as long as

While I may not have had much exposure to diversity in my hometown, I have done my best to put myself out there and learn from those who have backgrounds different from my own. I even participated in the Walk a Mile in Her Hijab event last Spring. I think coming to Loyola has helped me to understand my personal privilege, and recognize that I have much to learn regarding all the beautiful things that each individual brings to the table.

We, Lindenwood University’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force are charged with promoting the well-being, safety and security of a diverse academic community in which teaching, learning, and the exchange of ideas can flourish, and where we encounter, encourage, and interrogate ideas that challenge settled notions of truth.

According to Obear and Martinez (2013), race caucuses “can be a powerful multicultural incentive to deepen the competencies of higher education administrators and student affairs practitioners to create equitable, inclusive campus environment for students and staff” (p. 79). This article discusses how diversity training targets racism on college campuses. Race caucuses can deepen the competences of higher education leaders by making it possible for them recognize racism, internalized dominance, internalized oppression, and its impact on personal and profession development within the institution. By using this type of methodology, universities are slowly seeing social and organizational change that eliminates racial barriers.

I did a research paper about 2 weeks ago on why Greek organizations and how they beneficial to young college students. My task was to turn that paper in to a new medium, that new medium was a recruitment video. I transferred the factual evidence and reasonings from the paper to form a video in order to grab my audience attention. In this radical adaption essay I will explain why I choose this particular medium, if the audience changed, and the points and arguments.

However, during my first two years in high school, I realized that there was an aspect of my academic experience that needed attention. As a member of Class Council, I was disappointed by the lack of diversity in the attendance of the meetings. Each week, a dozen or so of the same students arrived and made decisions that affected the entire student body. If there was one thing I learned during my high school career, it was that diversity is necessary for success. Eager to implement change, I decided that the spring election at the end of my sophomore year was a great

Before this course, I never really paid much attention to the diversity around me. I grew up in a small, mostly white and Catholic community that didn’t offer much diversity, but being in Kirksville and getting involved in the activities has opened my eyes to the wonders that this city has. I first began noticing diversity when I volunteered at the Adair County Library. Although I was just shelving books in the children section, I couldn’t help but listen in on some conversations and watch the children delight in their reading. During my time at the library I realized that

Arizona State University has been deemed one of the most diverse universities because their ethnic diversity is described as above average. However, according to the racial demographics, more than half of the students at this university are Caucasian. In my opinion, providing a setting for students that is culturally diverse is one of the most important aspects of a college campus. While Arizona State University has somewhat diverse campuses, it seems as if minorities are outnumbered. Being an African American student of ASU has inspired me to want to be a part of projects and events that advocate for African Americans. More specifically, being an African American woman has been a huge inspiration. It has inspired me because I have heard

The James Irvine Foundation, through its higher education programs, has provided grants to about 30 private colleges in California to support diversity, and, after the decline of minority student enrollment in the late 1990s on some campuses, the foundation began to ask more about how the recipients of the grants dealt with diversity. The recipient colleges were asked to examine their history and data regarding diversity at their institution and identify their strengths and weaknesses. The results of this inquiry saw some schools provide an impressive self-assessment with focus on key issues and development of ways to progress and be better. Other institutions had a difficult time with the inquiry, while others just listed all the diversity-related activities their schools had on campus, including the addition of a diversity committee, new courses added to the curriculum, and the hiring of an African American admissions officer. All examples of what schools listed as evidence of their commitment and progression towards diversity (Shireman, 2003).

         I never thought I would make national news for de-segregating my sorority at my university. As one of the first African-American women to accept a bid to a Panhellenic sorority, I was involved in a movement of inclusivity and social justice. The experience made me realize the power of influence one person has by taking initiative for not only myself but for others. My goal is harnessing the same willingness to

Every time I read your post, I have learned something new. I am glad you are sharing your knowledge with me about the Nursing department grant scholarship for students. I was unaware about it. Also, I am glad you have had the privilege to attend a diversity conference seminar, not too many people have that opportunity to hear about it, let alone attend the conference. Unfortunately for me, I have not had that opportunity to attend the diversity conference; however, last year I was one of the educator's to organize a multicultural iinternational fair for the school district. We had a great turnout and many people came to learn about the diversity in my school and tasted the variety of dishes that were prepared for them. I was able to learn a
