While reading Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities, I learned more about the inner workings of Greek Life. I learned that the odds of me finding a sorority are so slim due to my independent and different personality. While I am not good at sticking up for myself, something this book has made me feel is crucial to blend in and conform to an ideal to fit into a sorority, I am too opinionated. There are not many sororities (at least shown in Pledged) that welcome girls who are different, preferring to stay similar. For example, each pledge class would soon like identical within a few months of pledging. Another thing I learned about is the careful planning and manipulation that occurs throughout sororities,
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. was founded January 13, 1913 at Howard University by 22 Undergraduates. These 22 women were members of an organization known as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated., but branched off because of different views. The founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. wanted more than a social organization and was interested in making the sorority more political. Scholastic and political activism was important to the founders of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. The first political act the members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. participated in was the Women’s Suffrage March. The Women’s Suffrage March was a march that occurred in Washington D.C. because Women were not
Phi Delta Epsilon Medical Fraternity provided me the opportunity to volunteer on many occasions with organizations such as Boston Children's Hospital, Perkins School for the Blind and Home for Little Wanderers Foster Care. Through ProjectServe at UMass Boston I participated in annual tasks at the John W McCormack School and the children's art centre in United South End
Initially, the first reason why Kappa Delta is the best sorority is because of our history. Kappa Delta was founded on October 23, 1897 at State Female Normal School now called Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. We were founded by four very different women whose ages range ...
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Delta Omega Omega Chapter hosted the 49th Annual Debutante Cotillion on Saturday, December 17, 2016. Forty-two young ladies dressed in formal white gowns danced a Traditional Waltz with their fathers and escorts after a formal introduction to society. This year’s theme for the Cotillion was, “Cultured Pearls in a Winter Wonderland”.
I am interested in joining Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated in light of the fact that you provide an excellent avenue to assisting numerous communities. After my first year at Bowie State University I started doing my research and none of the others organizations possessd the devotion and empathy for accomplishing and helping other people like Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. I am a persevering, strong, God fearing young lady and I feel that I embody a lot of the same qualities that your adored 22 founders build this perstigous organization on.
The modern nurse has much to be thankful for because of some of the early pioneers of nursing, such as Florence Nightingale and Jensey Snow. However, the scope and influence of professional nursing, as well as the individual nurse, has seen more exponential growth and change in North America since the establishment of the first professional organization for nursing, the Nurses Associated Alumnae of the United States and Canada, which in 1911 came to be known as the American Nurses Association.
The PES-NWI survey is used as a measurement tool to look at the quality of a nursing practice environment. Dr. Lake added five subscales to be included in the PES-NWI survey. “The five subscales are Nurse Participation in Hospital Affairs; Nursing Foundations for Quality of Care; Nurse Manager Ability, Leadership, and Support of Nurses; Staffing, and Resource Adequacy; and Collegial Nurse-Physician Relations” (Lake, 2007, p.109S). Dr. Lake felt it was necessary to include these five subscales in the survey to incorporate leadership and administrative qualities along with the other characteristics.
Promoting nursing leadership. An interview with a current New Jersey nursing leader and her pathway to leadership was discussed. This being a source of encouragement for registered nurses to further their education. This reminds those in the profession that we all have to start somewhere, but leadership in nursing can be a goal we strive for.
Leadership is a function of all parts of all lives and an important component of human existence. Leadership must foster an environment that is open to advice, and input, provides an environment that fosters buy- in from others who are lead and those who are impacted. Effective nursing leadership has courage, integrity, initiative and the ability to handle stress (Meliniotis, 2015). Successful nursing leadership is committed to excellence, measures the importance of things, builds a culture around service, creates and develops leaders, focuses on employee satisfaction, builds on accountability, aligns behaviors with goals and communicates at all levels (Guyton, 2012). Nurses today are looking for leadership where leaders and followers
It all started in 1922 when six nurses founded the Honor Society of Nursing, STTI at the Indiana University Training School for Nurses. These six students were: Dorothy Adams, Elizabeth Belford, Marie Lingeman, Edith Copeland, Mary Wright, and Elizabeth Miller.
Colleges and Universities play a major role in developing the behavioral patterns of young adults. In addition to developing young minds, colleges help to cultivate character, responsibility, and social acceptable behavior. Students who attend Carlford have expressed their dissent with the current environment of the university. Because of these underling issues, Carlford’s retention rates amongst minorities have suffered. If Kirsten is unable to handle the situation, there will be a trickledown effect to all areas of the university. Being a new professional in the field of Higher Education can be challenge. There are times where an incident directly affects your position and there are other times where there issues that affect the entire institution. Because the issue directly pertains to Greek Life, the Coordinator of Fraternities and Sororities has the responsibility of identifying the concerns and implementing initiatives that will allow the college to be proactive in future situations of this nature.
Nurses are uniquely qualified to fill a demand for change through leadership. Unlike business minded individuals whose primary outcome concern is monetary, a nurses’ primary concern is organic: a living, breathing, tangible being. In a leadership role, a nurse might consider an organization as if it were a grouping of patients, or perhaps an individual patient, each limb with its own characteristics and distinct concerns. They can effectively categorize and prioritize important personal and professional matters and are therefore ideally positioned to lead change efforts. Perhaps most importantly, effective nurse leaders can provide clarity to the common goal and empower others to see their self-interests served by a better common good (Yancer, 2012).
This organization “fosters nursing practice, promote safe and work environment, and advocating health care issues” (ANA, 2018). Moreover, ANA has empowered nurses for so many years and it is beneficial for all Registered Nurses (RN) in the delivery of care, as well as improving healthcare work environment. This organization is absolutely beneficial for me in all the specialty areas that I have chosen because it is a way to ensure that my patients are receiving all the essential health care services and ensuring that my patients are staying safe. Another nursing affiliation that I could join is the Sigma Theta Tau International (Sigma). Sigma “focus on education, leadership, career development, and research” (SIGMA, 2018). This organization would be beneficial for me because it is a way for me to move my specialty forwards since it offers continuing education. After I finished my BSN program, I will continue to pursue further education and ultimately become a nurse practitioner. Moreover, Sigma offers interactive learning activities with various learning formats that are available for nursing students. International Council of Nurses (ICN) is another organization that I could join as an undergraduate nursing student. This international organization “influences nursing and health policy through nursing articles, practice innovation, and nursing education” (ICN, 2018). This organization will be beneficial for me because it is a way for me to keep up with the healthcare policies around the world. I might travel to a different parts of the countries to work as a nurse, therefore, it will be helpful to learn the health care policies
Student organizations have been established to support and enhance learning in many career-technical fields: Future Farmers of America (FFA), agriculture; Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), business; Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), marketing; Technology Student Association (TSA), technology; and Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), allied health. These organizations provide opportunities for leadership development, service learning, and career exploration. Students, teachers, and parents expect that membership in these organizations will result in learning and enhanced skills as well as the development of positive values, social skills, and an ability to work independently and collaboratively (Vaughn, Kieth, and Lockaby 1999; Williams 2001). It is the anticipation of these academic, professional, and career-related benefits, as well as opportunities for friendship and belonging, that lead many young people to become members of career and technical education (CTE) student organizations. Intended for CTE educators, this Digest reviews research on outcomes students have realized from membership in these organizations and describes how the organizations are changing as CTE evolves.
