Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute Case Study

I'm the oldest out of my two sibling. Being the oldest I feel as if their is a lot of pressure on me to always lead and set a good example for my younger siblings. With their being such a huge age gap between my siblings and I. I wanted that sort of sisterly bond with individuals who are closer in age with me, individuals who I can have that kind of unbreakable bond with even though we may not be blood related. So when I transferred to the University at Albany I started looking into sororities. I have done my research on sororities online and I feel as if every sorority unique and great in it's own way. I feel as if doing my research online is great, but also looking at how the sisters in particular sororities interact with one another and

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

At the University of Iowa I am currently involved with greek life, specifically the sorority Pi Beta Phi. Being in the chapter involves many different aspects. The chapter's philanthropy is called, "Read, Lead, Achieve." Pi Beta Phi is dedicated to help raise money to donate to literacy causes. Pi Beta Phi has also donated 1 million books to children in need of materials. I chose to join this sorority for their philanthropy, because I value literacy as a future teacher. I also hold a position in my chapter, a Policy and Standards Board member. This means myself and a team hold the women in our chapter accountable for any misbehavior, and work with them to find ways to change it.

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

I think the purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc is to cultivate and inspirit high scholastic and ethical standards among college women.

I think I would contribute a lot to a sorority in terms of academics, creative, vocally,

The position of Panhellenic President at Kettering University plays an important role in sorority life by uniting the two chapters here on campus. The president should be able to maintain a neutral and supportive stance on all topics to create a productive counsel. I feel I could play this part to support Sorority Greek life based on my previous positions on campus. As a member of ASA I am currently acting as Standards chair, as part of this role I act as a mediator for concerns within the chapter and determine positive outlets to resolve those concerns. I believe these skills I have learned will aid in my ability to support the council. I have been a member of the Panhel counsel for the past two years and am very familiar with its operations.

The three main reasons I am excited to join a sorority include my personal development, loyalty and friendship, and support of my aspirations. As a sister, there is an expectation of social interaction and personal development. I am confident that my experience and communication skills will be enriched by the activities that I participate in, the responsibility I take, and the people I meet. I am looking forward to making friends for life. I think that the atmosphere and set up of a sorority fosters and encourages the development of lifelong friendships through common aims and shared experiences. I also believe that sorority life emphasizes and encourages loyalty to and among the sisterhood, my school and the nation. Support from my sisters

Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Incorporated purpose is to be of service to all mankind dealing with critical issues in communities domestically and internationally. What I have grown to understand an envision a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated to be, I accredit largely to the ladies of the Gamma Theta chapter. This has the result of attending many of the chapter’s events during my time at Hampton thus far. One of my favorite events was a screening of a documentary Girls Rising. I learned to appreciate every opportunity to learn and gain knowledge because in some parts of the world girls are restricted from receiving an education. A

Sorority girls aren’t all about the parties, the pictures and how good we look. Each sorority has its own values they follow. We all believe in sisterhood, philanthropies, social networking, community services, and opportunities. In philanthropies, we spend time sharing awareness and raising money for a good cause. Doing community service is voluntary work to help out our community.

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

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

Joining a sorority is not just four for years but for life. Going through a week-long process of meeting thousands of girls can be intense, overwhelming but intriguing and exciting as well. Recruitment to many is known as a terrifying process where girls come from all over with matching shirts, bright smiles and dreams that at the end of the week they will receive the white envelope that incases the 4x6 card with the sororities crest inviting them into their sisterhood. By preparing ahead of time, which includes building a resume, searching for recommendation letters and extensive research on each chapter, sorority recruitment doesn’t have to be an intimating process.

My desire as a child to travel the world led me to my education at Pace University, first of my many destinations. The teaching methodology, the process of assigning homework, the serene atmosphere in the campus and the ever-helping faculty and staff have already instilled confidence in me. This has helped me ease out of my comfort zone to explore and innovate. Gaining my higher education in America has exposed me to a whole new set of scholastic vocabularies such as credit hours, GPA, courses, Greek life involving sororities and fraternities and
