There are a number of reasons why I joined TKE, but the main reason was brotherhood. While rushing I saw how close everyone was, and while pledging I got an even deeper insight into that sense of family. I personally love that sense of having someone there to not only watch my back, but to support me in whatever I do. Brothers, who help me up when I get knocked down. Brothers, who I can honestly and whole heartedly say that I would take a bullet for them and who in reverse would do the same for me. Through pledging alone, I’ve already gotten not only my pledge class, but even members who have supported me and have told me never to give up. As many members have already said to me, the grass is greener on the other side. I’ve learned and grown …show more content…
My two main goals within the fraternity are to hold a chair position and to eventually hold an officer position. The chair position I would like to hold is brotherhood. Brotherhood events have been my highlight of the week, every week. The events are not only a time to unwind from a hard week of studying, but a time members and even pledges to just hang out with each other and be pretty much like a family. The family atmosphere is my main reason for wanting to be a brotherhood chair, because I enjoy seeing everyone come together and just having fun. I will achieve this goal of being a brotherhood chair, by continuing to show dedication while helping with brotherhood events, input some of my own ideas into possible brotherhood events and overall prove myself to all the members that I am responsible and able to head brotherhood. My second goal is to eventual become Pylortes. The reason why I want to become Pylortes is because I enjoy making sure people are safe. Whether it’s as big as breaking up a fight or as small as texting all my friends to make sure they got home alright, as long as at the end of the day everyone safe I am satisfied. I am also good with quality assurance because in my high school tech class I was usually in charge of making sure our structures were structurally sound. Another reason why I want to be Pylortes is to limit myself with alcohol consumption. As Pylortes, I would be less inclined to
The first chapter of Founding Brothers talks about a famous duel between two of the founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Burr was the vice president at that time, and although the fight only lasted a few seconds, it ended Hamilton’s life. This chapter happens to be only one out of the chronological order.

The book is about our seven founding brothers and about different events that happened to them in post revolutionary America. It is a nonfiction book that was written to show what they experienced and how they interacted with others.
My purpose for applying to Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated is to honor God by serving the Black community with my time, gifts and treasures in partnership with educated Men of character. I humbly accept my call to serve and desire to do so through Omega. I have gratefully been the recipient of several Omega Men’s love which has positively influenced my life. Likewise, I desire to give myself for others. I realize that all promotions come from God and therefore I have no perceived notions about how the fraternity can assist me with achieving my career goals because I trust that the principle of ‘reaping and sowing’ will naturally come to pass as I share in service alongside of Omega. More importantly, I desire the development of manhood
My most meaningful moment in Gamma Phi Beta was the day I was elected Chapter President. Throughout my life, I have never been very confident in myself or my abilities. During the whole election process, I was expressing a lot of self doubt. I didn’t know if I could hold a position, let alone help lead our chapter. My hesitation soon disappeared when my sisters wanted me to become president. Without my sisters supporting me and encouraging me, I would not be as a happy as I am, nor would I be as confident as I am today. Gamma Phi Beta has given me so many meaningful memories, but the most important thing that Gamma Phi beta has given me is confidence in
Day in and day out we hear about high school and college students wanting to pursue a sorority and/or a fraternity based on the stereotypes these organizations uphold, well I chose to differ. I told myself if I ever decided to become a member of a sorority it would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated consists of ladies of distinction and exemplary character who excel in scholarship, leadership, and service, which are qualities I have chosen to uphold. From my perspective, I encourage myself to maintain a respectable appearance and reputation which doing so inspires me to embrace my self-concept; which helps me confidently excel academically and
Members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated have made everlasting effects on my life. Having mentors in this fraternity allowed me to see how every member feels responsible for improving the communities that they are from. They never hesitate to take the leadership roles that are needed to see change. I would like to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha because it would allow us to share a brotherhood with great men, it will allow me to make valuable connections with other positive men around the world, and it will help me become the best version of myself. My desire to become a member of this fraternity began my freshmen year after I attended the first informational meeting. At this meeting I was able to speak with members and also learn from them. They each have strong leadership characteristics that allow them to serve on executive boards across campus and they all are high achieving students at Cornell.
Men of Alpha Phi Alpha such as James Felton and Vaun Davis are key to why I want to pursue my aspirations of someday becoming a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity incorporated. Both James and Vaun’s unselfishness has allowed me to grow as a leader and also into a man. These role models have opened numerous doors for me that have resulted into various benefits and opportunities. I hope my encounters with great Alpha Men such as James Felton and Vaun Davis will allow me the opportunity of joining the highly respected brotherhood. Another abundant encounter that I have experienced with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, is the true meaning and display of brotherhood. For years I have watched the interactions and connections of men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated I have noticed that each member that I have encountered expresses and implements the true meaning of brotherhood. I profoundly believe in the bond of brotherhood and fraternity. In my belief, if granted the chance to uphold the unbreakable bond such as the brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, the bond would enhance my credentials while assisting and challenging others. The brotherhood would push me to
Honor Embodies a lot to me. The Marines offer me this. The other forces scoff at such an idea. I want to be a part of something that respects and admires such traits as I have and believe in. Again the Marines offer me this. I know not all Marine respect my ideas, but at least I'll look forward to meeting and becoming a part of a group, however small or big, that has the same beliefs and ideals. Im tired of being around people that scoff and laugh at such things. I have met very people that respect the idea of Honor. The Honor that I think and believe in, has given me a strong sense of Morals and Ethics. Those that know me well will see this. Over the years it has deteriorated a bit. Going into something that respects and teaches this will help me build up to...and past the standard I have set for and used to have for myself. The Marines are a Brotherhood. Modern day Knights, I know not all are. Infact most probably arent. All the branches are infested with sex crazed drunkards, the Marines especially. Not all are like that, and I look forward to finding the select few that are not, but share my same ideals and thoughts. I plan on joining and setting a new standard.
Most of Criminal Procedure collections include a discussion of the specific way of protections in the Bill of Rights it have become applicable as limitations to the state power. They make a minimum because the text of the Human Rights Declaration is far from clear that the various protections therein were intended as state power limitations and because the jurisprudence reveals a good deal on constitutional developments. Commentators agree that the bill was in the origin of man to limit federal, not state power.
The origin of the Greek polis has been disputed to be either of religious or economic association. The arguments rest on the foundation that societies go through different stages. Primordial (clan/tribe) societies evolved into political (city-state) societies and then into industrial (modern) societies. Both sides provide credible arguments, but their arguments are lacking details that overlap both associations. The combination of religion and economics is what molded the Greek city-state and not just one or the other. Writers with an economic point of view claim of the Greek city-state as one where its people began to move from only being consumers to becoming producers and building friendships for the purpose of self-preservation. Even though the economy was a large portion of the city-state, religion cannot be discarded due to the various artifacts and buildings that demonstrate how it became a crucial part of society. To only claim religion led to the creation of Greek polis also does not
I’m currently seeking membership in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, for brotherhood and a friendship, with successful leaders who strive to compel an impact in their communities. Through all my interactions and meeting with members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the features that stood out to me the most that made me personally want to become a member were the friendship they held with each other, and those of similar characteristics. The fact that they were willing to help other men continue to grow and better themselves in any way they could. The men of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated that I have met, have pushed myself to become a better man and friend. These bonds have added a value to my life that I am forever grateful for.

In any country, war is a matter of great distress and fear, but with the help of its people the country survives. How the citizens of a country at war do this is by supporting the war and ensuring that fellow citizens join the war effort. However, it is not as easy as it seems to get the citizens to support the war effort, so it is up to the government to persuade them. The government incorporates several techniques like propaganda posters and a sense of patriotic duty to implore citizens to volunteer, but the actualities of war are vastly different to why the war is being fought.
I was born and raised into a hardworking family that are the complete opposite of culture alienators. My siblings and I are all first generation in America on my mom's side and second generation on my dad's side. Life was very hard for my parents to raise all seven of us and depended on my grandparents for most of their help. Being that my grandparents brought all nine of their kids to America from Belize it was also very hard for them so survive and find stability. Most families that come to America from a third world country usually find it very difficult to keep up family traditions and sometimes lose all contact. My family found a way to stay very close and keep the Belizean culture very alive still to this day. As you can tell by now
