“Welcome to the Pi Kappa Phi House” Audience In this report, I will analyze and evaluate the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house in order to give my audience, young males the opportunity to have an honest opinion on fraternity houses on campus. The brothers of Pi Kappa Phi can validate that I observed the fraternity house for this paper. Also, they can support my topic and prove that my information is valid. Pi Kappa Phi was founded on the principles of leadership, campus involvement, and brotherhood. The founders firmly believed that these ethics would hold the fraternity to upmost standards and make a effective brotherhood. The founders, Simon Fogarty Jr., Lawrence Harry Mixon, and Andrew Alexander Kroeg Jr. did not plan for Pi Kappa Phi to …show more content…

As a member of Pi Kappa Phi, it is not just considered a fraternity to party at, but believe in academic excellence. This includes having a minimum GPA of 2.7 and mandatory philanthropy events for the community. There is nothing better than helping someone in need. I am still a pledge and through the last nine weeks I have experienced and gained more leadership skills than I have had in my whole life. I personally love this place and would bring anyone interested in the fraternity to see what it is really about. The atmosphere always remains safe and friendly to each individual’s personal wants and needs, including my own. The members of the chapter at our university are genuinely good men and have the best intentions with everyone they approach. Tyler Sayers is a member of Pi Kappa Phi at South Alabama. He holds a position as the Secretary of all fraternities and sororities at South Alabama, which makes a huge difference in the Greek system. He is planning to run for President this upcoming term that will be a great addition to the fraternity. It is an amazing feeling that a member of the same fraternity could be in charge of all of the fraternities and sororities on campus. This will prove even more, how dominate we are over other fraternities. I would highly recommend any young man interested in Greek life at USA to check out the Pi Kappa Phi house. In order to find the house, simply look for the letters on the front of the house

    Once I am a fully initiated member of the Fraternity I will attend chapter weekly. The entire pledge class bonds and learns about the Fraternity, ideals, and history together. Chi Omega also plans activities that helps us bond together as sisters, such a flag football against the other sororities, or even something as simple as ice cream out together. These activities bring us together as a discourse community very frequently. This year we had the largest pledge class in the history of the Sigma Zeta chapter at 24 girls. Every year there are two recruitment periods, one in the fall and the other in the spring. It is during these periods that the fraternity replenishes the members that went alumna with new

  • The Kappa Delta Sorority at MTSU

    Greek organizations, such as, fraternities and sororities have been a part of the college experience for centuries. We pride ourselves in brotherly and sisterly love, academic success, and helping others. There are countless stereotypes and myths that surround the “Greek life” name. Just some myths include: all Greeks haze their members, they only care about physical looks not personalities, and they go to college just to party and get drunk. Kappa Delta Sorority upholds none of these stereotypes. We have a strong no haze policy. Hazing is defined as an activity or situation that can cause emotional, mental, or physical discomfort. If a member is caught hazing or if a new member is caught allowing herself to be hazed, there will be major consequences, such as, national probation or deferral of initiation. Kappa Delta also does not look at physical appearance as the only quality for possible new members. We look at personality and qualifications that can benefit our sorority; instead of having a group of women that are pretty and popular, we like to have women with strong morals, work ethic, and have the willingness to love each and every member of Kappa Delta. Kappa Delta Sorority is like no other fraternity or sorority on campus; we do not waste our time with partying and drinking. We pride ourselves in our historical background, philanthropies, and our values. I know Kappa Delta is the best sorority not only on MTSU campus but in the whole country.

    Greek organizations are debatably the most undervalued and misconceived aspect of college campuses. Most people don’t see the benefits that fraternities and sororities bring to college campuses and their communities. Some see these organizations as large beneficial clubs and others see them as potential problems. Many of the allegations put forth by individuals that discredit the benefits and good deeds done by Greek organizations are weak justifications for their removal from college campuses. Greek organizations provide campus communities with academically responsible students, philanthropic activities and increase community involvement.

  • Narrative Essay About Greek Life

    1062 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the parents who have zero experience with the Greek system, it could be described as a group of crazed educationally unmotivated sexually active under aged alcoholics that party every day in one of the many fraternity houses where inside taking place are “frat boys” shot gunning beers in togas while everyone else drunkenly chants “chug chug chug”; a parent’s worst nightmare, right? Wrong. The Greek life is a system where people with the same values can come together and form special bonds and friendships that lasts a lifetime. It is also where students can give back to their communities and or other national organizations by putting on special fundraisers throughout the scholastic year. For those reasons, I decided that I wanted to sign up for recruitment and see what all the talk was

  • Why Fraternities Should be Banned

    866 Words  | 2 Pages

    First of all, fraternities have proven to be a serious reason for underage drinking and binge drinking. These young adults have far less supervision and are eager to exert their new found freedom. According to the U.S. Department of Education's Higher Education Center, 75% of fraternity members engaged in heavy drinking, compared with 49% of other male students. The same goes for sororities. “Outside the Greek system, 40.9% of college females admit to abusing alcohol, whereas sorority girls drink heavily at a rate of 62.4%.” It is true that a great way to make connections in college is through fraternities. It is also true that fraternities do offer organized events that help unite the campus community. However, in reality the only thing fraternities only care about are throwing out of control parties.
