When I first accepted my bid for Sigma Alpha Epsilon, I told myself I would not be a bystander. I knew that you can get much more out of the fraternity depending on how much you put into it. From day one, I made sure that I would do whatever is needed to make my experience as a brother worth it. I immediately began to learn the True Gentleman as well as the history of the Fraternity. I did not want to wait for someone else to have to teach it to me because I saw the significance and the importance that it means to the brotherhood as a whole. One thing I noticed when I joined was that our campus involvement was not as strong as it could have been. I told myself I would get involved with all the events such as participating in different philanthropies or attending different events on campus to help …show more content…
I feel that attending the leadership school can only help me develop my leadership abilities and further allow me to continue to help SAE grow and become the best fraternity it can be. For the spring semester, I am holding two positions. They are member educator and social chair. I would love to have the opportunity to learn leadership skills to help me do a better job, but also have the chance to speak with brothers from around the country and learn from people who have held those positions. They would be able to tell me the do’s and dont’s for the positions and how to do the best to my ability. I see myself eventually taking an executive position and I think learning tips from this school could help push me in the right direction. I want to do great things for the Fraternity and I know this school is the first step in the right direction to get me there. I am very excited for the future of this fraternity and I know we are going in the right direction. It is my goal to be a huge factor in our
Sigma Kappa is one of the 26 National Panhellenic Conference sororities. Sigma Kappa’s values include personal growth, friendship, service and loyalty. Our commitment as a sorority is to live with heart which encouraged me to form a purposeful life rooted in a strong sense of character and our values. Through participation in this sorority I also have learned interpersonal skills from people of diverse backgrounds and the teamwork necessary to have a successful organization. I have seen the philanthropic needs in our society and understand the value of community involvement. As a member of Sigma Kappa, our main philanthropy is gerontology with an emphasis on funding Alzheimer’s
Alpha Epsilon Delta, an organization that had just became an official chapter at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith had to begin somewhere. From the time of its conception I was highly involved in the organization. I was voted president after serving on the inaugural executive team as treasurer. Newly formed organizations tend to dwindle without the correct guidance and leadership. I was determined not to let that happen to an organization with such ambitious causes diminish. I was able to reform and drastically develop the organization by using perseverance and problem-solving skills. We went from having one speaker during my term as treasurer to a having an invited speaker every month when I became president. I solved the problems from
I knew going into college that I wanted to join a sorority. I was a legacy and felt the need to carry on that legacy. However, what ended up happening was not what I had in mind. Instead, I created my own legacy by joining a different sorority than those of my family members. But what I came to find was that the chapter that I chose was full of girls who cared about their friends and sisters. I stayed because I too cared about the other members who are a part of the same sisterhood.
Working in a competitive and friendly environment has always motivated me to take up new challenges and as a result I have decided to rush Delta Sigma Pi, a professional fraternity that focuses also on social connections. From my previous work experience at Ampex Restaurant Management I learned how to build and sustain relationships with my coworkers and customers. This experience provided e with an opportunity
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
Being in a sorority is very rewarding yet can be very time consuming. Each member that is part of a sorority has a huge role to play even if you do not hold a position within the organization. Alpha Sigma Alpha is a national sorority who is heavily involved with community service and their three national philanthropies, St. June Smith, Special Olympics, and Girls on the Run, as well as local philanthropy year after year. This source is located on Alpha Sigma Alpha’s national website that is dedicated towards the sorority’s service and giving. In this section their philanthropic statement states, “Life is not taking in only; it is giving out too. It is giving ourselves - freely - to other people, giving ourselves in comradeship, in understanding,

I would like to continue my passion and be a voice for the Mu Pi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated on campus and in the community as they strive to bring awareness and implement high impact programs which support the core focus of the sorority.

With joining Alpha Kappa Psi there is a plethora of positions that are available for a brother to have.

All these positions have something different that I can learn from and gain experience in diverse fields.
When presented with the question of, “Do you believe you have fulfilled your obligation as a Kappa Sigma Pledge?” from the Epsilon-Tau chapter, my response is that I have fulfilled my tasks full heartedly to the best of my abilities. So yes, I believe I have fulfilled my obligations. I am one to make sure that when I invest time and effort into one thing, it is a fruit of my energy that I can proudly say I at least put my whole into it. The endeavor of Pledging Kappa Sigma undoubtedly has so far had its ups-and-downs, yet in no way would I ever regret stepping foot into the house. Already, being a part of the Fraternity has benefited myself in several ways from social interactions, to formal obligations, and more. On top of my course studies,
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.
At the time I was disappointed, but looking back on it I realized that it was a blessing in disguise. In the fall I was not ready to become a member of a fraternity here at JMU. I came out to rush with the wrong mentality, I was focused on partying and meeting girls not the true meaning of brotherhood and life long commitment. Throughout first semester and the first few days I have been exposed to the elite Kappa Alpha Order, I have learned that I must hold myself to the highest standards in life and that it takes a man not a boy to become a brother of the Order.
The National Honors Society allows students to be build and create traits that are essential in a successful adult. I truly believe that hold many of these traits and joining the National Honor Society will grant me the opportunity to expand on these traits and grow as a person. Thus far I have focus greatly on the scholarship aspect of NHS and have been dedicated to my academics. I have held my GPA above 4.0 and have always been devoted to maintaining that high level of academic success. The skills I have shown in devoting myself to my academics can be easily translated into my dedication for the other aspects of leadership, service and character. Having previously held a officer role in the National Junior Honor Society I have gained experience
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
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.
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
