Delta Lambda Case Study: Fraternity

We have witnessed the members of DC Alpha Chapter that had misguided intents for the security of our beloved fraternity graduate and leave the University. We the members of Zeta Class have continued to uphold the standards and precepts that Phi Delta Epsilon holds dear. We have graduated members that have gone on to medical schools, and we have participated in many prestigious summer programs such as SMDEP and Amgen Scholars, we have traveled across the world together, we serve in many other organizations on campus, and we continue to be the leaders of the Pre-Medical Community at Howard University. We still hold the fraternity near and dear to our hearts, our only hope is to reverse the damage done without Phi Delta Epsilon on campus and promote the success of physician with integrity. Being the sole survivors of Phi Delta Epsilon, we hope that today we have plead our case and you will consider reclamation of DC Alpha chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon International Medical

​From a time when achievement was rare, and succeeding among minority was minuscule, a sense of order was needed. During this time Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated came into the world, bringing core values and achievement. Within the five objectives Kappa Alpha Psi showcases the distinction of itself from other fraternities. The founding fathers had the desire to shape a unique group personality different from the other greek letter college organizations, around the idea of achievement. When achievement was mainly concerned with improvement of personal status, security, and meeting the demands of everyday living the founders of the fraternity envisioned something bigger. Thus bringing about the Five Objectives that men of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Incorporated live by and exemplify on a day to day basis showcasing Achievement in every field of human endeavor.

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

By enlisting the help of everyone, they are starting to re-realize that Delta Zeta is important to them and that we all love each other. That disconnect, people feeling like they don’t belong, is something that takes hardly anytime to fix. That starts by every member saying hello on campus or knowing each other’s names. Right now, we are doing a good job of inspiring a shared vision of our chapter growing.

J. B. Blakeman is the brother that I look up to and intend to shadow my experience as an Eagle and Greek Member. During my time at Morehead, I want to make sure that everything I do is to the best of my ability and benefits not only me, but also those in the community. I want to make sure that everything I do reflects my brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon and all of the fraternities in every perspective. One way that I plan on committing to this is to partner up with all of the sororities and fraternities to give back and to serve Morehead’s community by serving charities and other community events. Each semester I would like to have at least one partnership with every Greek organization that gives back by serving the people City of Morehead. I strive for the city of Morehead, Rowan County and all of Kentucky to remember Morehead State University as one of the leading schools around for Greek life community events. My long term goal is to create a new imprint that will quash the stereotypes of fraternities. The legacy that I want to leave is for fraternities to feel obligated to serve the community and be the best Eagle that a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon can

Little did I know, the incredible role models of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Ms. Nicki Harper and Ms. Loretta Bookman, wanted to stress the importance of being a lady, a leader and a well-rounded individual. These ladies and the Delta GEMS program influenced my curiosity so much that toward the end of high school, I researched and learned more about Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. I learned the members exemplify 3 of my core values: service, leadership and excellence.

The position of Panhellenic President at Kettering University plays an important role in sorority life by uniting the two chapters here on campus. The president should be able to maintain a neutral and supportive stance on all topics to create a productive counsel. I feel I could play this part to support Sorority Greek life based on my previous positions on campus. As a member of ASA I am currently acting as Standards chair, as part of this role I act as a mediator for concerns within the chapter and determine positive outlets to resolve those concerns. I believe these skills I have learned will aid in my ability to support the council. I have been a member of the Panhel counsel for the past two years and am very familiar with its operations.

Thank you for your support of Kappa Kappa Gamma. On behalf of Fraternity Council, I am writing to share an update regarding Zeta Eta Chapter at the University of California, Irvine.

Phi Delta Chi is a professional pharmacy fraternity that promotes scholastic, professional, and social growth in its Brothers. While pledging Phi Delta Chi I was honored when asked to be the pledge class treasurer after I had taken on the fundraising project. Now for my second year of involvement, I am the fundraising chair. As fundraising chair I organize events to raise money and lower dues for the chapter. This year I have been working with Purdue Athletics to run concession and in first 3 months of we have already reached our year goal. Along with my chair position, this summer I participated in a 3 day leadership development seminar, where we met with group advisor and focused on developing our leadership skills. We examined our personal behavior, developed goals for ourselves, and used roleplaying to practice. I also mentor a prospective brother and help her through the pledging process, answer questions about class, and encourage her pursuit of a career in pharmacy.

Galindo is from the crossing class of Fall 2013 for the Houston chapter of his fraternity. Ever since he crossed, he has accumulated tremendous experiences in training new members, new actives, and even alumni in being better leaders among men. With new members, Mr. Galindo is stern and fair. He values respect the most and believes that new members need to understand the meaning of respect before they can become full-pledged brothers and also before he can call them brothers. Mr. Galindo instills the value of respect through positive reinforcement and empathy. When tasks become difficult for new members, he encourages them and cheers them on, reminding them that there are rewarding futures to overcoming these present obstacles.
