negative connotation. However, some communities continue to succeed and flourish today going by the Machiavellian communities standards. My pledging within the fraternity of Pi Kappa Phi has been a blessing and a curse. I absolutely love the guys that I am around for 18 hours of the day. However, the pledging of Pi Kappa Phi has some rules and bylaws that set pledging to be run in a highly Machiavellian format. Our pledge trainers are amazing guys, however; they are not there to make friends. They
As I stood in the living room awaiting the news, my heart immediately grew heavy and I felt a throbbing sensation in my throat. My eyes welled up and my knees became weak and at that moment the control that I thought I had over my life dissipated. My only option was to run, and before I realized it my face was jammed into my pillow sobbing.

In the spring of 1837, Ralph Waldo Emerson received a letter asking him to deliver the annual oration of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. When he was writing his speech, appropriately titled “The American Scholar,” Romanticism was becoming one of the more preferred forms of literature.

The second is the

From that point on, I began to do research on Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, while also noticing there were other members in my community. Many of these members

around that same time that I received a letter in the mail addressed from an organization called Phi Theta Kappa. Intrigued, I opened the letter to find what appeared to be just like any other solicitation from honor societies, promising opportunity for a one-time membership fee. Little did I know, however, that this organization would become a prime aspect of both my life and my identity. Phi Theta Kappa is an international honor society for junior college students. It establishes and encourages values
that organization. Most recently we had the charter line for the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity come out to us on the Armstrong campus. Being the charter line means that they were the first to found a chapter on this campus, a difficult task, because first they must find a group of like-minded young men to go on this journey through “the burning sands” in order to make it to “Que land”, or cross into becoming a man of Omega Psi Phi.
