Chapter Of Alpha Omicron Pi

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

Within sororities is a language all their own; many words are created or used in a different manner. For example, “big” is not an adjective that describes something grand or large as in the English language. However, “big” is a term used to describe an older sister whose is assigned to a younger sister within the organization to be a mentor and a friend. Another example is the word “waltz”, which is not referring to a ballroom dance but rather the celebration of a sister’s twenty first birthday. Even the word “sister” is a part of a sororities’ unique language as it does not denote the relationship between blood-related relatives, but rather signifies the sister like bonds between members. This language is imperative to a sorority’s culture because it unifies members under a commonality that distinguishes them from other groups and organizations, much like racial and religious cultures.

The sororities have their own language, they use words like pledge, bid, big, little, active, lavaliere, letters, and philanthropy. A pledge is a person who accepts a bid, and a bid is an invitation to a specific chapter at their school (Nakagoshi 1). When a female student wants to pledge a sorority they interview for a bid and the sorority decides if they want to have the new student pledge or not. If the pledge gets the bid then the student gets a big, a big is an older girl who has been part of the sorority for a year of more, and the big is like a big sister they are supposed to care of their “little” or new pledge (Nakagoshi 1). An active is a member of the sorority that has been part of the sorority for a few years. When a sister is

Greek Life Portrayal: Sororities are constantly competing against each other for the most pledges. In order to get new girls and have a successful chapter, you have to look hot and have boys interested in you.

Initially, creating questions for this assignment was the hardest part because I felt I had nowhere to start. After much deliberation I realized

Seeing all but two U.S. presidents have been fraternity members, 63% of all U.S. cabinet members since 1900 have been greek, and 47 of North America's largest corporations are led by greeks, it might seem obvious that joining Greek life has its benefits. However, in light of many national scandals, some people tend to disagree. Therefore, I have focused on how being highly involved in the Greek system, more specifically, being a member of the executive board, can help you develop skills helpful to being a leader in real life.

This is the step where you ask important and focused question in order to design your study. The questions are generally open ended and inquisitive questions. The questions often start with, who, what, when, where, why and how. The purpose is “to make important procedure questions and to decide what research methods will best help you achieve these design objectives” (Chenail, 2011).

Understanding what others have done in the field is essential to pursuing an inquiry question. Write a coherent and credible narrative in response to the question: “What do you and others know that academically grounds and supports your proposal?” Develop your research both in terms of the broader topic area and with sources more specific to your focusing question. Draw from appropriate, credible sources, using a minimum of five. You may include a brief paragraph about your personal interest in this investigation and what led you to it. It is expected that the length of this section

Your Research Question- Give your research question (may be a working question). Give background for your question.

The deep roots of elitism and privileged seen in fraternity culture helps identify the roles of Greek organizations in shaping the gender identities of its members as well as forming maladaptive behaviors and beliefs deriving out of narrow minded ideals of femininity and masculinity that will shape the future leaders of America.

II. Methods: How and where did you find your research? What was your topic at the beginning and what did you do to narrow it down?

After discussing ideas with my parents and also my research project teacher, and the final guiding question was refined and decided.

I am going to discuss how I performed each task and I will explain the reasoning behind my guided research.

Opening: In advance of next week's draft, the purpose of this outline is to project the plan of action for the final composition. The discussion here will lay out the primary thesis and subordinate arguments that will comprise the coming draft. At the center of this discussion is the concept of organizational leadership and the manner in which this shapes the success or failure of said organization.

The research question guides the basis of activities of any research study. The research questions on which this study will be centered are discussed below:
