Graduation Speech : Sorority Recruitment

I learned so much about the things I was capable and not capable to do and about the foundation of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. The lovely ladies of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. always made me feel very comfortable to the point that I was able to be myself around them. However, when I tried that with the other sorority members it did not felt the same way. The other sorority made me feel left out and uncomfortable when being around them and that’s something that Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. did not. Being able to talk one on one, ask for help and talk to the ladies like a regular friend was one of the reason why I chose Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority

It was not until after I became an initiated sister to Delta Zeta that I truly got involved. One night during Chapter our President at the time started to discuss all the different positions that were available for the upcoming year. While listening to this list one position in particular caught my eye, it was a position to be the sisterhood chair, which includes planning enjoyable events that all the sisters want to be apart in. I love creating, planning, and organizing so sisterhood chair was the right position for me. During my time in this position I planned a cook out, a trip to the haunted corn maze, sisterhood retreat, and much more. This year I applied to be our Chapters VP of Programs with in this position I make our calendar for the

Describe in detail all offices, positions, and leadership experiences you have had within your sorority and outside of your sorority and explain how

In order to get information for my paper, I interviewed someone with a position of authority within Tri Delta. Her name is Danielle, and she is the new member educator. The first thing I learned about Tri Delta is that it is more than just letters on a shirt, songs and chants, a gold pin, socials, rituals, an obligation, or a way of life. “Being in a sorority is about learning about people and being able to give without expecting a return. Tri Delta has allowed me to find lifelong friends and find confidence in myself as well as in my sisters,” Danielle explained. After hearing her explanation, I couldn’t agree more. Danielle also told me that the close relationships are her favorite part. “My favorite part about being in Tri Delta is the sisterhood.

Since Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. starts in the collegiate years, the skills you learn can help later on in life.

Young women looking for mentorship can have a positive

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

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

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.

I know exactly what you are going through. At the beginning of my freshman year, I swore to myself that I would never join a sorority. I thought it was weird, cult-like, and that I didn’t need to pay money to have friends. However, here I am, loving and actively participating in Delta Gamma, a sorority that was reestablished at the University of Arkansas this year. When I first joined, I had certain expectations. I expected for me and some of the members to be somewhat of acquaintances, but thought that most sorority girls were too self- absorbed for me to gain any real, genuine friendships. Basically, I rushed so that I had

One of the most exciting moments as a Greek was being selected as a recruitment counselor for the Greek community. While it meant having to disassociate myself from my sorority for a period of time, it was a rewarding experience. I was honored that the selection committee thought I exhibited the personal qualities necessary to be a counselor.

I've been trying to follow up with Savanna for 2 weeks now and finally was able to speak to her yesterday. What she offered as a solution was very disappointing. She told me that she spoke to the eBoard members prior to Spring Break and this was quite alarming to me because I was treated so poorly at the last General Meeting. There is no statue of limitations in regards to this matter and being told by Savanna, "look, there are only 2 weeks in the semester" gives a great impression that this serious matter is just not serious enough from the perspective of Student Life.

After several weeks of pure hell, if pledges are accepted, they can finally call themselves part of the fraternity or sorority. The opportunity to earn brotherhood or sisterhood is something that all rush participants encounter and they have to make a choice. The things that occur in these groups go against some of the participants' beliefs, but, in order to belong many will put their beliefs behind them.

It was great to meet you this past Sunday at the first Pledge Meeting; I am anticipating a challenging but enjoyable ten weeks under your leadership, surely getting to know the brotherhood, fellow pledges, and myself even better.

Attached you will find a flier on the steps for Fraternity & Sorority Summer Housing. Please make a note that if your house is not open for the summer and you are not moving into Summer Housing, you are required to be checked out 24 hours after your last final or by Friday, May 6, 2016 at Noon, depending on which time comes first.

I am happy to help a teammate learn more about sorority or fraternity life before sending their kids off to school this fall. There are 25 university pennants I collected over the year that hang at my desk. Whenever someone sees their school, I use that as a moment to create a positive relationship and tell them that I too have enjoyed the beautiful Sarah P. Duke Gardens or Oregon sunsets. I am cultured through travel and have learned everything from how to peel a craw fish to the history of the Harvard Yard. I learned to work hard and long, to run on fumes, to keep moving and to find inner motivation. I don’t need hand-holding. Kappa has prepared me to work unsupervised and to problem solve on my own. I learned to be independent, but also to make friends
