Reflection: My Volunteer Trip To The Phi Theta Kappa Organization

My involvement in the Greek community has allowed me to grow my leadership skills and opportunities. I am heavily involved within my fraternity and I hold leadership positions as well as giving back to community. I currently hold the position of house manager within in my fraternity which I am responsible for the physical appearance and proper maintenance of the building which includes maintaining a filing system for receipts, bills, and inventory of Fraternity property. Also, within the fraternity I am given the opportunity to give back to the community. The ways in which I give back to my community are by volunteering with the ALS foundation, Habitat for Humanity, and MADD. I work closely with our philanthropy chair to help

As I started Bloomfield College I have always been interest in joining a sorority. I went to many different interested meeting and none of them caught my attention like Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. did. When I sat down and listen to their history and their goals it really made me change my mind and realize that Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. was the one. I am a proud Latina and to know that they were the first sorority ever created to cater towards the needs of Latinas in the nation made me more excited and enthusiastic on being part of the interested ladies. The main thing that captured my interest was to know that Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority Inc. is a scholarly excellence sorority. As any person would think a sorority is about partying and having fun I believe this one focus more on their educational future and to achieve their goals.

As a young woman who strives to make a difference both locally and globally, I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will aid in accomplishing my life long goals. The emphasis this organization places on assisting and supporting others through the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust, is truly a reflection of the public service initiatives that I make an effort to take part in. The opportunity to form a lifelong bond with other college educated women, who share some of the same morals and beliefs as I do, is phenomenal. I know that membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will mean taking that initiative to become a part of something that’s bigger than myself, because I certainly can’t take on the world alone. The incredible

​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.

I have been a part of almost every club available to me at Northeast Jones High School and in my community during my time in high school years.Some of the clubs that I am involved in are Beta Club, Serteens (president 2015-2016), Student Council (treasurer 2015-2016), Future Business Leaders of America, Teens Getting Involved for the Future, Key Club, Junior Auxiliary’s Crown Club, Yearbook, and Future Leaders of Jones County. My involvement in all of these clubs have helped me realize how important it is to be involved with my community in order for me to give back. I feel that it is necessary to be extremely involved before being selected for the Luckyday Scholarship, and it would be such a great reward for always giving to those in need to be selected for the Luckyday Scholarship. Because I have been involved with so many clubs and extracurricular activities that serve our community, I will not have a problem juggling academics with any clubs I might join at the University of Southern

I believe the purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is to grow and develop women scholastically and to help women reach their goals. This organization is noted for its extensive service, reaching beyond college campuses. The purpose is also to stay dedicated and committed to academic excellence. Women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., not only give back to their community but are also leaders, uniting women to have a positive impact on others. Joining a sisterhood such as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is a lifelong commitment. Since Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. starts in the collegiate years, the skills you learn can help later on in life. It is also preparation for working with people with different personal and professional backgrounds. Also, to be aware of what is going on around you and how you can make an impact. Young women looking for mentorship can have a positive

As I sought out to become a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I saw that the organization matches my personality and what I stand for. My true passion is to make a difference in this world, I desire to make a significant impact on the lives of the youths to inspire them to reach their full potential. I know that Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was established to accomplish the same things that I do, this is one of the many reasons I aspire to join this great fraternity.

Outreach continued to be a major part of my life during my undergraduate years. As a freshman, I joined the RPI Zeta Eta chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Women’s Fraternity. Being a part of Alpha Gamma Delta gave me the opportunity to serve the community and raise money for our philanthropy, which supports diabetes education and awareness. Throughout the school year, we participate in several philanthropy and outreach events including Volunteering at the Boys and Girls club. During this event we set up some fun interactive activities with the purpose of educating the children about diabetes. In addition to joining Alpha Gamma Delta, I also began to set up study groups with several of my friends because I was grasping my course material quicker than many. Prior to our quizzes and exams, a small group of us would meet in a study room and I would go over practice problems on a whiteboard. Not only did this help me better prepare for quizzes and exams, but it was rewarding see my peers succeed. I decided to serve as a tutor in several of my

I would love this opportunity to be involved with Phi Theta Kappa This will be an excellent way for me to meet other Phi Theta Kappa members. I can get to know more people in similar situations to my own, I can learn from them, and maybe they can learn from me. As a college student I feel that it is my responsibility to do everything that I can to make the most of all learning experiences, so I can not in good conscience let this chance slip by.

The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity provided a voice and a dream for African Americans around the world. For people who were colored at the time this fraternity was created, had to struggle in their everyday life because racism was such a huge focus. Alpha Phi Alpha was founded at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York by seven outstanding African American men who attended college there. They created a strong bond and brotherhood in the organization and were an inspiration to colored people all over the nation. The seven founders were known as “Jewels” at the fraternity. These seven men were Henry Arthur Callis, Charles Henry Chapman, Eugene Kinckle Jones, George Biddle Kelley, Nathaniel Allison Murray, Robert Harold Ogle, and Vertner Woodson Tandy. They were all very intelligent and brave men, a lot of people looked up to them. The fraternity was created and based on colored people who were racially prejudiced socially and educationally. There was one man who caught my eye and found very

I would describe my personality as diligent, fun loving, and adaptive. I enjoy spending time with my friends and my sorority, yet I have taken on a position within that sorority that requires me to be on top of nearly all details taking place. I enjoy working hard to make sure everyone else has a smooth-running sorority experience. I like to go with the flow and enjoy like as it comes!

Winner of the Alpha Omega Contest is the highest honor that can a student at Joliet West High School can receive. To win this award, to me, would be a realization of all the hard work I have put in over the last four years. The goal of my efforts was not to build a strong resume for college applications or even for the Alpha Omega contest, but to challenge myself to grow as an individual, and to serve my community. Joining clubs and sports because they interested me, rather than in an attempt to have something else to write on applications in the future, is a strategy that helped me to excel in these endeavors. My passion for community service was cultivated in Students of Service (SOS), when I joined as a sophomore. However because I of my dedication and leadership ability, I was awarded the position of Vice-President the following year, and those same traits have resulted in me being awarded my current position of President.

Membership in Alpha Lambda Delta was the catalyst for a new chapter of my life. It completely changed the shape of my undergraduate career and I could not be more grateful. Upon entering ALD in my second semester as a Freshman I was given my first chance at a leadership role. This would be first time that I was offered a role in which I would have the chance to lead others, to serve on an executive board, and to coordinate chapter events. When ALD offered it to me, I grabbed the chance. I had always been involved while in high school and for the past semester I had entered student organizations where my voice was not heard. ALD gave me my voice back. My position as chapter Historian taught me the necessary skills for me to achieve in the following

I am currently a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society, an international psychology honor society, and recently joined FIU’s chapter of the co-ed premedical fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. These organizations allow me to participate in events and activities geared towards academic excellence and community service in science, values that I believe are fundamental not only to a career in medicine but to being a great student here at FIU. I was also given the opportunity to become involved with Peer-Led Team Learning, a program that works closely with the Biology department, where I served as a leader for several semesters and intend to continue to do so when my course load allows for it once again. In addition, I volunteer as a research assistant for the Child Narratives Lab in FIU’s Psychology department gaining hands-on experience with conducting studies and interacting with children in a research setting. Finally, I am a work-study in the Financial Aid department. As it stands, I am deeply involved with many different aspects of FIU and I only hope to do more in the future. My fraternity has offered opportunities for leadership that I hope to take advantage of such as positions in Student Government. I also have plans to apply for a role on the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution’s Student Conduct Committee to be more active in the campus

The class discussion about difference makers prompted me to evaluate my life and consider the type of impact I want to make during my time at APU. After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that the most impactful difference I can make during my time at APU is being present for my peers. I am on Living Area Council for my hall, which means that I work closely with my RA, LAC representatives on other halls, and Jess, our building’s Community Advisor to plan events for all of Trinity and for third south. This position requires me to spend one on one time with my RA, and because of that I am able to get to know her better and learn different ways I can support her. I also have the opportunity to intentionally get to know my hall so that I can plan events that they would find interesting and want to attend. I want to be the type of person that my hall mates can depend on when they need someone to talk to, someone to give them snacks, and someone who can give them cough drops when they are not feeling well. I try my best to be engaged, have my dorm door open, and ask people about their day when I see them in the hall or the bathroom.
