Alpha Phi Omega

For my civic or political participation, I volunteered with CPS’s GIV day for a poverty simulation. This is a half a day on the Friday of orientation week is available to first year’s students. The students are able to learn about civic issues like poverty and how Gettysburg College works with the issue and community. As a member of Gettysburg College, I have volunteered with CPS in many capacities and have done the poverty simulation as a first year. I also choose this engagement because I have

Target Audience In this memo, I will discuss the stereotypes of sorority girls do to the public and media. Also, I will discuss what sorority girls believe in and what they do in their chapters. I created a Sororities Life PSA to target market girls who are afraid of joining a sorority because of false accusations they hear and see about Greek life. I chose this PSA because I was one of those girls who were afraid of joining a sorority because of all the negative effects it had. Stereotypes vs

Bartle Hall Sky Stations I grew up 85 miles northeast of Kansas City, Mo. in a small farming town. On the special occasion that we would get to go to Kansas City (the city) it was a very exciting thing for me. I’ll never forget the first time I got to drive by downtown Kansas City. Traveling south along I-29/I-35 and all of the sudden I looked up and saw these huge concrete pylons protruding through the skyline. These pylons were incredible to me but what really drew my interest was what was sitting

The establishment of Black Greek-lettered organizations is an important cornerstone for the solidarity of black people. As many others are concerned, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was the first Black fraternal group, but on the contrary there were several other attempts to begin like organizations. Unfortunately, it was so that the due to the overwhelming stress of racism that these organizations were not allowed to thrive. In particular, the chapter goes in to semi-significant depth about the

1. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. was created to address the low retention rate at Cornell University during the times of Jim Crow Laws. 2. In 2010, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. decided to boycott Arizona and move their 2010 National Convention to Las Vegas, in protest of the recent Arizona law that allows for profiling of potential illegal immigrants. 3. Vertner Woodson Tandy became the first registered black architect in the state of New York. 4. Vertner Woodson Tandy became the

Out of oppression rises resilient individuals whose voices cannot be silenced. Though the exact circumstances may vary, both Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr. were empowered in the face of persecution. Both came from a place of suffering and restriction, were inspired by the brutality the observed, and attacks institutions which allowed these atrocities and others to continue. Their words, powerful and thought-provoking, will serve as pieces that will not soon be forgotten. Frederick

When I was attending elementary school, my third grade teacher, Mrs. Leak, assigned the class a journal, “who do you consider a hero and why?” Of course many of my peers wrote Batman, Superman, and Wonder woman. There were even a few who said no one. Some individuals may not ever believe in heroes, but they have never met my dad. If I was to spell out perfection, it would be my dad. Everything about my father make him the best hero including; his advice, personality, appearance, his wardrobe and

I work for the day that there will no longer be a mandatory minimum for melanin and hate speech is no longer freer than my and every person of color’s body. Every day, we seem to get closer and further from this day. Clocks no longer reliable to count the passing of time, but in divisive times, the signs are mixed up, and my math cannot seem to count up the holes left by deportations or people who did everything right, but it’s on the ground, then in the ground they are left. I came to Cornell identifying

I am interested in the Delta Iota Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. at Cheyney University. Being a lifetime member of the first sorority for African-American women has sparked my interest since childhood. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority means to me services provided by now all ethnicities for women to impact the community in a positive manner. The services since the beginning in 1908 have been immaculate. Many AKA’s were helping during the Great Depression, Civil Rights Movement, and today are
