Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity

The reason I would love to participate and actually be a contillionette of the Suffolk Alumnae Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and Incorporation is because I think this would be a wonderful experience to take part in. I’ve been in two previous events of the same nature so it’s not like I don’t have any experience at all. Another reason is that I actually enjoyed my past experience and actually learned a lot. I wasn’t just there to get and take. I was very happy to be there and to receive and give anything that I could. I most definitely feel like this will be the same. I’m excited that I would come to enjoy my time in this organization, the experience that will be gained, and the knowledge that will be shared, and hopefully I’ll meet new

My name is Tasha R. Chestnut. I am a 36 year old SSG with the United States Army. I am originally from Slidell, LA where I am an only child of my mother and father. I believe that this will help me be able to give back to my community and become a better, well-rounded individual. I am interested in joining your sorority because not only do you provide an excellent avenue for helping out, the sisterhood displayed by the ladies of Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority Inc. is amazing. I believe that I have a lot of qualities to offer your sorority as well. Not only am I dedicated and goal-oriented, I make plans well and already have ideas about how to invest into my community.

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”.

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

My purpose for applying to Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated is to honor God by serving the Black community with my time, gifts and treasures in partnership with educated Men of character. I humbly accept my call to serve and desire to do so through Omega. I have gratefully been the recipient of several Omega Men’s love which has positively influenced my life. Likewise, I desire to give myself for others. I realize that all promotions come from God and therefore I have no perceived notions about how the fraternity can assist me with achieving my career goals because I trust that the principle of ‘reaping and sowing’ will naturally come to pass as I share in service alongside of Omega. More importantly, I desire the development of manhood

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.

“Additionally, issues of identity and values are important factors in neophytes ' abilities and willingness to learn to write in and for new workplaces, as they must choose between ways of thinking and writing with which they are comfortable and new ways that seem foreign or at odds with their identities and values” (Wardle 285) When I was first accepted into The University of Arkansas, the first thing that came to my mind was to put effort into my grades and into building my resume. Those would be my top priories. Before I knew it I had been accepted into a discourse community of members that were striving for the same ideals that I was-The Greek fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha. Through the proses of being an initiate, I learned life long core values of community between other members. Interviewing the president of Lambda Chi Alpha, Luke Crenshaw, I uncovered the rigorous involvement of academic writing skills and how that plays a giant roll in this discourse community. These benefits are included in the values and beliefs of a discourse community.

I am a senior graduating in spring 2016. I am interested in joining the Alpha Phi Sigma Honor Society. I meet every requirement except the cumulative GPA. At this time my cumulative GPA is a 3.17 nevertheless, I have a GPA of a 3.75 in my criminal justice course. In spring 2015, I was double majoring in Chemistry and Criminal Justice. I am interested in becoming a forensic scientist. When my workload started to get overwhelming I dropped chemistry just to focus on criminal justice. I want to know is it possible I can still join Alpha Phi Sigma Honor Society.

I am seeking membership into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated because I want to grow and contribute my time and talent to an illustrious, originating organization. I aspire to be a part of a sisterhood where I can express myself, and have my skills nourished by prospering African –American women. This summer I was involved in a traumatic car accident and survived, tragically two of my dearest friends did not. On the car third spin I squeezed my eyes shut, and braced myself for a collision. Suddenly, the car jolted forward and flipped. At that very moment I realized that I am here for a greater purpose, and vowed to take the necessary steps to fulfill that purpose. God is not finished with me yet, and I do not want to sit on my Lord.

Members of the National Honors Society have always been revered for the work they do in our community. In a small town like Fenton, volunteer work has a larger, more personal impact. It would be a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute to the community as an NHS member. An individual with an extensive amount of volunteering develops a multitude of valuable traits. One important element to portray when representing a community service group is selflessness. When helping a town, a person must have the ability to put the needs of others ahead of their own. Possessing the capability of performing actions without hesitation is among the valuable traits volunteers should be comprised of. The person being attended to requires

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 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

I believe that the National Honor Society should play a sizable role in the school community. The National Honor Society does an outstanding job commemorating students not just for academics, but also for leadership, characteristics, and service. Almost all other awards given at schools deal strictly with congratulating students for excellent academics, whereas top students of the National Honor Society excel in all of the criteria.

As the leader of the criminal justice honor society at ASU, I have created partnerships with volunteer organizations such as the 100 Club of AZ, and have continued partnerships with Free Arts of Arizona, the Rearley Foundation, and Release the Fear. As the leader of the school organization, I have been able to engage in volunteer actives that have raised awareness about abused children and families in need. I have also implemented a provisional membership program within our organization to promote academic successes with freshman through mentorships, counseling, and tutoring. I have contributed an average of 20 hours per week to the honor society. I have also created a mentorship program with the Mesa Police Department that allows students to engage with the department to prepare them for career opportunities. I have set up events at ASU with the ASU Police Department, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and Maricopa County Office of Public Defender to bring more resources to students. I have a high belief in doing the very best you can. I have seen many students who think they are unable to be as successful as other and I have attempted to mentor those students to help them understand their full potential. I personally never thought I would ever attend a university or pass classes with a high GPA. However, I have learned that we are only limited by ourselves, and all of us are capable of
