If she left school before her class, the year her class graduated determines the beginning of the two-year requirement. She must be in good standing, having paid the per capita fee (i.e., annual dues) through the local alumnae association or through Dues Direct. She may not have a close relative (e.g., daughter, sister, granddaughter, etc.) in the chapter or about to go through Membership Recruitment in the chapter where she serves as adviser. She may not carry another Kappa responsibility at the same time (e.g., member of House Board, officer of the local alumnae association, Fraternity officer or chairman, etc.). Exceptions to the above may only be granted by the Advisory Board Specialist in consultation with the Advisory Board Director. Selection in Areas With an Alumnae Association In areas where there is an alumnae association, the procedure for selection of advisers is as follows. 1. Two members from the chapter, alumnae association, and current Advisory Board serve on a joint selection committee to recruit and recommend advisers. 2.

The committee, using the recommendations and information submitted, makes a list of potential advisers and asks each whether she is willing to serve. The committee recommends a list of advisers to the executive board of the alumnae association and to the chapter for their approval. 7. The advisers are trained and installed. In developing this list, the committee should consider the qualifications of each potential adviser individually and in the context of the overall composition of Advisory Board. The committee should consider: Capable, mature, committed individuals. • Age diversity in the group. • Varied levels of chapter and Advisory Board experience. • Congeniality of the entire group. • Variety of chapters represented on the board. Selection in Areas Without an Alumnae Association In areas where there is no alumnae association: The joint selection committee is composed of two chapter members, two advisers and two alumnae if possible. The committee uses recommendations from the Advisory Board Chairman, Chapter Council and any other available lists to determine possible candidates. Advisory Board should maintain a file of names of interested alumnae with information about those alumnae. The Advisory Board Chairman may also ask alumnae associations Presidents in the surrounding area for names of interested alumnae. Various members of the chapter and Advisory Board should contact alumnae moving to town to give them an opportunity to meet the chapter members and
I am writing to express my strong interest in being a member of Alpha Omicron chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi. I am currently a sophomore at Syracuse University, and will be graduating in 2020 with a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a minor in Global Political Economy.
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
Every year students at an accredited university have a decision to join groups/activities. In many cases a lot of students choose to join either a fraternity or a
I believe the biggest skill that I possess that will maintain Alpha Kappa Alpha’s status is the desire to help. As a sorority that holds service at a high standard, I believe having that drive to help in

Once a brother, you can run for executive board which consists of president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, recruitment officer, pledge educator, and risk manager. There are other
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.
Women of Delta, especially the ladies of the Alpha Tau Chapter, excel excessively in everything they accomplish and partake in from what I have seen on Southern Universities campus and in the community. Their outstanding work ethics, academics success, social friendliness, dominating attitudes, and constant need to help others is just a few explanations why I would be honored to be a lovely member of ...
According to New Mexico State University, “In the fraternity/sorority, you will be in ‘charge’ of an event or a duty. Everyone in the fraternity/sorority is a leader, whether you’re an officer, on a committee, or just a participant. You will learn by doing. You’ll learn how to manage a budget, run effective meetings, speak in public, and motivate others … skills that will help you in the university and throughout your life. These days it acquires more than just a degree to acquire a good job- it takes leadership experience.(Benefits of Greek Life)” These positions that women and men of Greek life run for actually resemble those of actual positions in the everyday work force. Rochester Institute of Technology says that “Opportunities to learn and practice leadership stretch beyond chapters. There are many system-wide leadership roles open on the IFC, CPC, and MGC. Beyond the Greek community, fraternity men and sorority women involved in many other organizations on campus. Some of these include Student Government, athletic teams, and many student clubs.(Advantages of Greek Life)” This proves, not only do members have positions within their own organization, but numerous have chosen to take in holding other positions all over campus. Many of these

The purpose of this letter is to inform you about my interest in becoming a member of The Kappa Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. I sought out membership because the members exemplify the epitome of class, grace, and standards. My desire is to inspire young girls and women and make a significant impact on their lives is just one of many reasons I aspire to join your great sorority. I believe in being of service, giving back to the community, and I want to continue on for years to come. Going into the transition into my college career from my freshman year until now, I have encountered many women in the organization that are very active on campus as well as in the community. My past experiences with my past and previous organizations have proved that once my feet are planted my roots will grow and I will stand firm in an organization or committee that I am apart of exemplifying my leadership skills. I am a dedicated member of the National Council of Negro Women. I am on the Bethune Committee, we focus on creating Health programs for the organization and the community. I am a Mentor with the Valdosta community organization G.O.L.F.E.R. (Generating Opportunities in Life for Each

...t the top, but to raise the bar higher for those who are reaching for the top. The men of this fraternity set an example of achievement; they show that being the best isn’t enough. That is why I want to be a part of this fraternity, because I want to be set the example, I want to show that being okay isn’t good enough, and I want to show that being an African-American male, I will not be hindered by stereotypes or any other preconceptions. Being able to be a part of this organization that will push me to be the man I can be, rather than pull me down to a lower level; will grant me the opportunity to be able to show that others can make it, just like I did. Kappa Alpha Psi Inc. is the organization I wish to represent, progress, and be a member of because their objectives and goals, represent what I stand for, and I couldn’t see myself joining any other fraternity.
Walking into college, I always wanted to join a brotherhood. But, it was hard to find the one for me at first. After striking out on a few other fraternities at SEMO, I didn’t know if Greek Life was for me. But after talking one night with Brian Smith, I would give my one last shot to Sigma Nu. Looking back, I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. Over the past few months I have grown into a better person and have achieved goals I wouldn’t have even thought about being able to achieve. Looking back throughout my candidate process I can say I have strived for Love, Truth, and Honor.
