Homecoming And Greek Week

Monroe, NC, July 12, 2017 – The ladies of the Gamma Upsilon Sigma Alumnae Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. have been busy during the fourth quarter of the 2016-2017 fiscal year. The chapter’s activities included welcoming four new members, expansion on the campus of Wingate University, Susan G Komen Pink Sunday, and celebrating 52 years of service.

Thank you for accepting our invitation to your induction as a member of the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society on March 23, 2016.

Delta Zeta Iota was brought to the University of Iowa in 1912. In 1999, Delta Zeta left Campus and recolonized in 2001. Since the recolonization, our chapter has been able to complete some massive accomplishments, considering that the Greek Community here at Iowa is different than many other universities. We have consistently been one of the smallest PHC chapters on campus over the last 15 years. In 2014, my class was the largest Delta Zeta had bid. In 2015, Delta Zeta gave out the most bids for fall formal recruitment. That was supposed to be the turning point; we were just as big as everyone else and we needed to rise to the occasion.

Oklahoma State University has a rich heritage steeped in tradition. How do you plan to become a part of that heritage once you have become an alum? What new traditions would you like to see in Alpha Zeta?

My name is Jacob Dube and I currently serve as the President of the Florida Chapter of Delta Chi here at the University of Florida. In 1776, you all made a decision that would forever change the course of college history at the College of William and Mary and many other universities nationwide as you created the first American collegiate fraternity. I cannot express my gratitude for you as you all paved the way for the Greek system in a college and university setting. The Greek experience is one of a kind to all of its members, and it has helped produce some of the most successful people in our country. I would like to share to you some great news about today’s Greek systems here at the University of Florida and how you helped shape the success of so many Greek students.

Pursuing the dream of obtaining membership into the First Intercollegiate Greek Fraternity for African Americans, Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. is one of very few ultimate goals in my life. An organization that was founded to stimulate the ambitions of its members and prepare them for great usefulness within the community has since become one of the most well respected organizations in America. Over one hundred years later, the pivotal movement in 1906 has spread to over the entire country in different collegiate chapters and cities across America and the impact has been tremendous. To some individuals, I was considered very lucky to be reared in the upbringing I experienced. But in my eyes it was a double edged sword.

Brea’na Wright-Hall, “We attend the Greek events and we see no one that looks like us. Not only that, the Greek organizations on campus who makes up a large percentage of the social life do not support any other events besides their own or FPC. That’s a problem, we can’t keep supporting your events but the support is not reciprocated.”

HCC's Omega Sigma chapter recently won two Awards of Merit at the Phi Theta Kappa-Texas Regional conference. Both their community service College Project and Honors in Action research project were recognized.

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

Homecoming is one of the most important and celebrated week at college. Homecoming is an American tradition named from “coming home” (Huynh, T 2015, October 21). One of the first colleges to have a homecoming was Harvard. It was during a football game against Yale that they invited back their Alumnis in the 1870s (Cramton, I. n.d.). The Harvard vs. Yale homecoming was to get together and have a good time there at the game while everyone catch up and celebrate their school pride. For most colleges, homecoming week provides a week long of activities for students on campus. Student Events Team or other students involvement club will hold parties, parades, rallies, football games, and concerts that week. Every school is different and will do something

Greek life plays a major role in colleges and universities all across the United States. Greek life allows men and women to join an organization and create a long lasting bond, as brothers or sisters, which they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. College campuses explore and boast about the positive impacts that Greek life has on students as well as the community around them. However, even with fraternities and sororities being on college campuses for decades, few people outside the Greek life community have discovered the real, enduring process that it takes to become a "brother" or "sister". Throughout my research, I will be focusing on the negative effects that fraternities and sororities pose upon pledges. This includes hazing

I would first like to thank the fraternity of Delta Kappa Epsilon for this lovely nomination, I stand here today looking at the most handsome, funny, genuine group guys that I have very known from my 19 years of living on this world. Never in my life did in my younger years I’d think I would be joining and sorority and on top of that running to be a sweetheart to one of the jolliest and good fraternities on this ASU campus. When I told my mom during the summer I was considering running for sweetheart her response was “I’m happy for you, but sad at the same time, because that means you slept with most of all of those boys.” You can tell I was first in Greek life within my family knowing she really had no idea what a sweetheart actually was.

Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. was vaguely introduced to me as a child but it did not take effect until I started school at Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Attached is the Greek Week Packet that I received with details about each event. I am hoping that participation is high during this week as there are a lot of fun events planned and it would be amazing for our chapter to be the winner of Greek Week this year. Also, please remember to bring your money to chapter this Sunday if you would like to purchase a Greek Week T-Shirt! Hope you all have a blessed day and see everyone tomorrow!
