The Importance Of Local Advisory Board

After considering an invitation to join the then two-year-old Alpha Phi Fraternity, Frances instead asked three friends to assist her in organizing their own society. They sought the advice and help of Dr. Haven, their brothers, the faculty and members of two existing

My most meaningful moment in Gamma Phi Beta was the day I was elected Chapter President. Throughout my life, I have never been very confident in myself or my abilities. During the whole election process, I was expressing a lot of self doubt. I didn’t know if I could hold a position, let alone help lead our chapter. My hesitation soon disappeared when my sisters wanted me to become president. Without my sisters supporting me and encouraging me, I would not be as a happy as I am, nor would I be as confident as I am today. Gamma Phi Beta has given me so many meaningful memories, but the most important thing that Gamma Phi beta has given me is confidence in

Leadership Development: Both collegians and alumnae further their personal growth through the development of leadership skills.

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. 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.

Phi Delta Chi is a professional pharmacy fraternity that promotes scholastic, professional, and social growth in its Brothers. While pledging Phi Delta Chi I was honored when asked to be the pledge class treasurer after I had taken on the fundraising project. Now for my second year of involvement, I am the fundraising chair. As fundraising chair I organize events to raise money and lower dues for the chapter. This year I have been working with Purdue Athletics to run concession and in first 3 months of we have already reached our year goal. Along with my chair position, this summer I participated in a 3 day leadership development seminar, where we met with group advisor and focused on developing our leadership skills. We examined our personal behavior, developed goals for ourselves, and used roleplaying to practice. I also mentor a prospective brother and help her through the pledging process, answer questions about class, and encourage her pursuit of a career in pharmacy.

Emma, a senior at a southeastern university, was recorded having sex with a brother who passed the video around to the other brothers at his house (Robbins and Florsheim 146). After that event, Emma’s sorority sisters turned their backs on her (Robbins and Florsheim 146). Sororities lure freshmen in to give them a home base lifestyle and sense of belonging (Robbins and Florsheim 146). Many chapters are supposed to teach leadership skills and encourage community service, but some chapters become out of hand when dealing with initiating people (Robbins and Florsheim 146). Becky, a junior in a North Carolina sorority, admits, “It is the system of everyone having to keep up this image that they are the best, the prettiest, the most fun” (qtd.

The class from last year grew our chapter to help us be more involved and grow as a group. Some of our activities from the year include a candidate project where the candidate class comes up with a service project, plans it as well as complete it before initiation. Also we participate in homecoming, Hunt for Hunger, and career development panels.

[subheadline] A formula for success Kappa Kappa Gamma’s commitment to inspire women to be their best is second to none. We prepare our members for the future by offering a safe and supportive environment to learn life skills, become global citizens and gain firsthand knowledge of the satisfaction of making an impact. We offer connections through friendships, community partnerships and networking opportunities. Like Grand Valley State University, Kappa strives to create an environment that develops stronger individuals, which results in a stronger campus and a stronger community. We know the students at GVSU are doers — people who want to be involved and take action. Our proven practice of getting new members involved from day one goes hand in hand with the student culture on your campus. We believe a partnership between Grand Valley State and Kappa would be a win-win. Over the past 25 years, Kappa’s success rate speaks for itself. [key info] 96% of new Kappa chapters on campuses with existing Greek-letter communities are at average chapter size within one year of establishment. 97% of women who pledge Kappa go on to become initiated

Galindo is from the crossing class of Fall 2013 for the Houston chapter of his fraternity. Ever since he crossed, he has accumulated tremendous experiences in training new members, new actives, and even alumni in being better leaders among men. With new members, Mr. Galindo is stern and fair. He values respect the most and believes that new members need to understand the meaning of respect before they can become full-pledged brothers and also before he can call them brothers. Mr. Galindo instills the value of respect through positive reinforcement and empathy. When tasks become difficult for new members, he encourages them and cheers them on, reminding them that there are rewarding futures to overcoming these present obstacles. New members over time become really respectful and admire Mr. Galindo’s
