Kappa Alpha Order Fraternity

One of the main reasons I was initially interested in Delta Sigma Pi was the professional aspect of it and how it focused on skill development and cultivating a better future. Although I have come to find over the past semester and a half that there is so much more to the fraternity than just that, business professionalism is still the fundamental cornerstone of this organization.

I wish to become a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated because I want to be a part of an organization of women who are not afraid to go the extra mile, positively impact the community, and stay true to who they are. As a teen I participated in “From Girls to Pearls”. During my time in the program I learned many life skills that served valuable to me in my adult life. One of the most memorable experiences for me is when the sorror’s of Gamma Zeta Zeta taught a workshop on how to eat in a professional setting. They taught the girls in the program which fork to use for the salad and which fork to use for the main course. My sophomore year in high school I did a junior internship at Vory’s and Sater a law firm in downtown Columbus. The Associates at the firm were very amazed that I knew how to carry myself in a

The abiding impression that numerous Pi Nu chapter men of Kappa Alpha Psi have imprinted in my heart with its motto, “achievement in every field of human endeavor,” I wish to obtain membership into Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. I am currently a sophomore criminal justice major at University of Maryland Eastern Shore. In addition, my desire to become an active member of your fraternity has been in my heart and mind.

Sororities are commonly known as a college social club or organization for women, with particular distinction given to the African American sororities. Brought about at the time in history when traditional roles of women were being challenged, the founders of the first black sororities had to overcome the stereotypical views of sexism as well. They were considered unique, although college wasn’t really an option for African American’s. Within society they were being treated in rejection because they were black. They wanted to have an organization that would be called sisterhood and ties into their community. Nine dedicated women wanted peace, sisterhood and wanted to become leaders amongst

Researcher John Swales in “ The Concept of Discourse Community” explains that there are six characteristics that need to be identified for a group of people to be a discourse community. According to Swales, there are six characteristics that make up a discourse community. They are common public goals, mechanisms of intercommunication among members, participatory mechanisms to provide information and feedback, utilizing one or more genres in communication, a specific lexis, and a threshold level of members with a degree of relevant content and discourse expertise (220-222). Discourse is in communities are all around us.

My interest in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, started a long time ago, in fact when my first interest was peaked I wasn’t even able to pursue my interest as I was still in high school. I was able to participate in several of the “groups” within Alpha Kappa Sorority Inc., such as the “Roses” and the “Pearls”.

In 1921, Mr. J.C Harmon became the President of Cottey College. Virginia Alice Cottey Stockard, the founder and previous president of the college, was thrilled and believed she and the Board of Trustees had made an excellent decision, considering they had trained him to know the inner workings of the college for a year. He seemed to be a promising president of Cottey College. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the new school year in 1922, Harmon resigned from his position as president due to the financial difficulties the college was going to face. Stockard, at the age of 74 years old, stepped up as the president of Cottey College. She was concerned for the future of her college. She had founded Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), an honor society, with

In part two, participants completed six questions about the toy experiment. Each questions asked for different response from the surprising level, to whether to be replicated, attractiveness or not. The responses to these questions were based on an interval scale from -5 (low) to 5 (high). For Instance, question 4 asked compared to children in the no-threat condition, how do you think children in the threat condition will rank the forbidden toy (-5 = less attractiveness, 0= no impact, 5 = very attractiveness). Question 5 asked What if we did this study in Tampa, Florida? Compared to children in the no-threat condition, how do you think children in the threat condition will rank the forbidden toy? (-5= less attractiveness 5= very attractiveness), Question 7 asked: In the study you originally read, what outcome did the researchers say occurred? (This question is the manipulation check for the study, since we want to ensure that participants were to focus on this specific part of the experiment. The choices were Threat level to the children were: less attractiveness, neutral attractiveness, or

The theory of this experiment was the use of fear appeals based on strong and mild advertising of a stun gun. La tour conducted an experiment including three hundred and five women who were single while thirty four percent were married. The independent variable of the experiment was the advertisements with strong and mild appeals. . Participants that already carried a firearm and stun gun were screened out from this experiment. The participants were randomly chosen by the researchers. The researchers stopped people and asked if they wanted to take part in a study. Majority that was selected agreed to participate. To make sure it was a representative sample it was done in way to include people from across the hours of operation of the mall.

Each participant was presented a consent form electronically, and confidentiality was maintained throughout the process. (See Appendix A.) Steps taken to ensure the confidentiality of the respondents included assigning an alias name or number to each respondent requesting such, presenting the consent form that explained to participants that they had been selected to participate in the study, and minimizing “off the record” conversations. The only identification of individual interview data in reports was by subjects’ MASSP

“Describe what this study demonstrated about human behavior and mental processes using the results of the study along with information you have learned in Units 1-3.”

As part of a class assignment, students were asked to be a part of an experiment. Fifty-nine females and thirteen males participated in this experiment. The students were taken and put in rooms by themselves and given headphones with a microphone and given instructions. The participants were told that they were to discuss problems that college kids face. They were told that the experimenter would not be listening to the discussion as it was happening. The microphones were set up so that only one was on at a time. They would switch participants every two minutes, so everyone would get a chance to speak and comment. Three different groups were used in this experiment. A group was either just the subject and the victim confederate or a group with either one or four other confederates other than the victim. The other confederates were actually just

My field study consisted of interviewing three participants in individual private areas. The participants were chosen by availability and from different areas of the Central Valley. Their ages ranged from fifteen years old to twenty-one years old. All my participants

This study consisted of seventy-one male in introductory psychology class, experimenter, and a girl hired for the experiment (Festinger & Carlsmith, 1959). Participant arrived in the secretary office, and was directed to the lab. The first task consisted of using one hand to put twelve spools on a tray, empty the tray and refill the tray for half hour. Later, the participant constantly quarter turns the peg using one hand for half hour. While the participant performed the tedious task, the experimenter noted observations. The experimenter was not recording; the participant performed tedious task to generate negative opinion. Once both of the tasks were completed the experimenter began describing the true nature of the study. There were two groups; one group got no introduction or information about the experiment, meanwhile, the other
