Formal Recruitment And Recruit A New Member Class

​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

The difficulty came mostly in time management and motivating the chapter. In a chapter of 5, it is difficult finding the time to run a chapter effectively so that it accomplishes all that is required of them and more. Usually, one of two things would happen: the chapter drops in GPA making the chapter inactive, or the chapter does not do all that is required of them. Fortunately, neither happened to my chapter and that was due to a motived team and effective delegations and time management. It was hard being a new president and finding out things as they came. And there were many things that were required of my chapter to remain in good standards. So taking a those required tasks and the hopes of the chapter and properly delegating tasks as well as working to have a strict time schedule help alleviate some of the stress on the chapter. Unfortunately, a bulk of the work started to fall on the shoulders of a few brothers more than the others and with a chapter this small it really does not help. So I was my job to take on bulk of the issues while working with the brothers to help motivate and get everyone to share the load again. And with all of that taken care of and put into action, the Mu Alpha Chapter was able to re-establish a strong

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

Chapter events must be planned with respect for the academic responsibilities of each member and must follow Risk Management Procedures. All planning must be in accordance with current Fraternity Bylaws, Standing Rules and Policies and local, state/provincial, and federal laws.

As our year of service ends we were reflecting on the 4 Hallmarks of Phi Theta Kappa and have come to grasp a small understand of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship. The foundation of Phi Theta Kappa instills the traits through Leadership Development. The courses available to members will help each gain confidence as each learns what a leader truly is. Our advisors set the standards with continuously setting examples of leadership in their own lives. Members learn, not only from their examples, but from the development tools given when you become emerged in the learning process that is diverse, interdisciplinary approach such as 8 months of academic research, written papers, implementing a project that will have an effect not

Introduction: The purpose of this focus group is to identify why members of fraternities and sororities, groups that contain elements of a primary, intimate, and task group, continue membership after their organization enters into the storming phase during a particular task or group development. In order to achieve this, I will need to ask individual sorority and fraternity chapters about their intragroup conflict, membership perceptions, and why they choose to stay in an organization that they may disagree with. Each year, fraternity and sorority chapters receive new members, and every year the dynamics of their collectivist, primary, intimate, task group change. While their values do not change, the personality of the group does, causing members to feel out of place. In the stage of conflict, the members gossip, have cognitive dissonance, and question authority, all

Leadership Development: Both collegians and alumnae further their personal growth through the development of leadership skills. Members can serve as officers, committee members, advisors and volunteer leaders to fine-tune their talents and gain valuable experience. Additionally, training is offered through chapter educational programming, online webinars and workshops presented at Gamma Phi Beta conferences.

This fraternity is a business within a brotherhood and I am very versatile in many areas. As a business student I have learned a lot about what it takes to run a business efficiently and effectively. Efficiency is very important in business because you have to be savvy, resourceful, and accountable. This fraternity has a lot of business obligations that have to be handled, and I believe that I can come in and learn quickly under one of the older brothers. Every club or organization has to keep retention up and members coming in as quickly as members are leaving. Being that undergrad is on average 4-6 years at some point every brother has to graduate, therefore, keeping a constant cycle of members coming in and out will keep the organization strong. This goes for any organization or student club. However, being that Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity Inc is a business, you have to be very selective of who you let in your business. For that I am honored to have been

The class from last year grew our chapter to help us be more involved and grow as a group. Some of our activities from the year include a candidate project where the candidate class comes up with a service project, plans it as well as complete it before initiation. Also we participate in homecoming, Hunt for Hunger, and career development panels.

I will also promote organization, such as by implementing the use of Best Buddies Binders, where officers can place notes from both officer meetings and chapter meetings, all meeting agendas, attendance sheets, donation sheets, and other important documents. To improve as a chapter, at the end of each quarter officers and advisors will meet and complete evaluations as a group based on what we have improved on and what we need to improve on. We will pinpoint what worked well and what we should do differently to provide the best possible Best Buddies experience for all. We will also continue to utilize social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Remind 101, by updating these accounts with pictures, videos, stories, and announcements weekly. If selected as CP, I would also work with officers and advisors to spread the message of Best Buddies and increase membership, such as by having an announcement at Freshmen Orientation and “advertising” Best Buddies in our school magazine and/or on the BMHS Pride Time Instagram

Section 3, continued 5. Criteria for chartering: To include minimum number of students pledged to establish a secure colony For our new chapter at Illinois State University, it is our goal to have a charter class of 145 members and average chapter size within one year of establishment. We are proud to say every new chapter has gone on to be installed. The expectations for the new chapter at ISU mirror the expectations Kappa Kappa Gamma has for each chapter. From the moment the new chapter is established, we expect the charter members to uphold the values and mission of our organization. All charter members will be expected to complete the New Member Experience in order to be Initiated. This is the same requirement for all new members

Kappa Kappa Gamma has developed a multi-layered volunteer structure that cultivates member achievement, and ultimately lays the foundation for personal growth and chapter success through content-specific support. Under this configuration we are able to provide the chapter and individual members with resources from volunteers who are experts in critical areas across the organization including:

• Leadership Consultants are staff members and recent graduates who travel to our chapters and work closely with local volunteer advisers and Content Specialists to address the chapter’s specific needs. Leadership Consultants will be on campus during establishment and Installation of the new chapter. New chapters can expect multiple visits from Leadership Consultants during other key times throughout the academic year, including Recruitment as well as officer transitions and training. • Chapter Consultants are trained staff members and young alumnae. They oversee all areas of chapter management and programming and will live on or near campus as they work with the chapter for the first two years. Typically, they are former Leadership Consultants who have experience working with collegians to develop strategies for positive growth. For a new Kappa chapter at GVSU, we will provide two resident Chapter Consultants for at least the first two years. • A Coordinator of Chapter Development is assigned to a new chapter for its first five years. She supports the Chapter Consultants and works with the local Advisory Board to build a strong infrastructure for chapter support. This highly trained volunteer works with the Extension Coordinator and has previous experience working with chapters. • Along with our Chapter Services Department at Kappa Headquarters, our Extension Coordinator oversees the logistics associated with establishment through
