Growing as a student, professional, and human being has been my every day goal. Having the opportunity to be a member of Phi Theta Kappa has showed me the amazing leaderships programs that its members have the opportunity to do. That is one of my goals for the chapter members during this 2015-2016 year, try to encourage them to not just being a member try to invite them to be part of the different leadership programs that the chapter offers them. I am not very familiar yet with all the programs the
Pharmacy appeals to me because of its potential to ease people’s physical and emotional suffering. The simple act of listening and being empathetic to the concerns of other’s health and wellbeing has inspired me to learn more about the profession. Perseverance in college followed by the biotech industry has provided me with the necessary research skills to be successful. The ever-changing pharmacy field would allow me to continue my education, culminating in an exciting career. The importance
Since high school, I have aspired to become a social worker. A series of events in my personal life made it impossible for me to start my scholastic career soon after graduating from high school. Those same events, however, also made it possible for me to eventually return to school and pursue my early life aspirations. In particular, helping my stepdaughter getting the needed services after she was diagnosed with a mental illness and a learning disability, taking care of my father after a very serious
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. With my family having recently relocated to a new town thousands of miles away from what I called home it was impossible for me to fathom that I could lose more
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
Phi Theta Kappa I. Introduction: I am a part of a great honor society called Phi Theta Kappa here at Cowley. Phi Theta Kappa was “established in 1918” (Mesa Community College). We have four pillars that we strive to capture in each of our activities these pillars are, fellowship, leadership, scholarship, and service. “The mission of Phi Theta Kappa is to recognize academic achievement of college students and to provide opportunities for them to grow as scholars and leaders” (Phi Theta Kappa). There
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
sensing, thinking, and perception. People with this personality type are labeled as the ultimate realist (Phi Theta Kappa), they are action-oriented, and anything that will delay the moment is a waste of time. With that said, Patton was a great man who had everything he needed to be “A Genius For War” (D’Este). Warren Bennis wrote the article on the four competencies of great leaders (Phi Theta Kappa). When comparing Patton to Bennis’ four competencies of a great leader, Patton was an extreme manager
Council. The two councils work together to plan events for the entire campus. Some of the Interfraternity chapters include the Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, Phi Delta Theta, Delta Tau Delta, Lambda Chi Alpha. Some of the Panhellenic Council chapters include Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, Delta Gamma, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, and Kappa Alpha
University in this coming May. In my time at Alfred, I have been consistently on the Dean’s lit, and I have been inducted into Phi Alpha Theta and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies. I am currently in my second years as president of the university’s history club and as student president of the university’s chapter of Phi Alpha theta. I have presented historical papers at Phi Alpha theta regional conferences, and have given a number of historical lectures at the Angelica Free Library. In this coming semester
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. That entails many different things that they must learn in their course
The smell of carnival foods, music blasting through the tall speakers, and the crowd going wild is the first thing one hears as one enters the stadium. Shortly, one hears the sounds of clapping, stomping, and yelling as the Greek organizations compete for the grand prize, title of recognition, and bragging rights. People are dancing and supporting their favorite groups as they perform the routines the groups have been practicing for days. The final group performs and walks off stage drained with
On Campus, and took first place for the second consecutive year, first sorority in university’s history to win the titles of Homecoming Queen – Megan Corrigan, Greek Goddess – Anna Hepler, President, and Greek Week champions, participated and won Theta Chi’s MANJAM event to benefit local veterans’ association, and Anna Hepler, President, is Treasurer of Order of Omega (The Lamp). Zeta Tau Alpha’s event, Big Man on Campus, is a pageant and each sorority and fraternity picks someone from a fraternity
assessment, becoming a member of the NSNA has been crucial in my nursing career because it promotes advocacy, leadership, autonomy, professionalism, care, diversity, and quality education. In addition, I am a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society since 2014. Phi Theta Kappa recognizes students who excel academically throughout their education. Being part of this organization has giving me the confidence to work hard for what I believed and getting recognized for it. • Committees: I do not belong
decided to reveal the secrets at that time in order to prevent misunderstanding. (San Jose State University) The Phi Beta Kappa chapters inspired students from other schools and they began forming other groups all over the United States. At Union College in New York, students formed the Kappa Alpha society on November 26, 1825. Not long after Sigma Phi came to be on March 7, 1827 and Delta Phi on November 17, 1827. Together, these three fraternities formed the “Union Triad” and they became the foundation
Proclamation To Address Student Concerns About The Medium News Letter: Preamble: Presented on this day, November the nineteenth, in the year two thousand and three, as members of the Rutgers University community who are concerned and dissatisfied with the subject material that has been printed in the magazine The Medium, a student funded organization, we collectively agree that the following measures need to be met and addressed with as much cooperation as possible to facilitate in the propagation
I would never have thought that community service could be such a reward experience. As the oldest child and growing without my mom, I never had the opportunity of having someone that could help me with my homework or help me when I needed something. Since I came to the United States six years ago I was definitely on my own considering my mom didn’t know English to help me. From this moment forward, I can say I am very proud of myself for being the first person in my family to pursue a college degree
isolation, and any activity which seriously affects the health and well-being of an individual. Over the past thirty years there have been many fraternity hazing incidents, which now appear on the web. In one incident at S.M.S.U. Edith Davis, a pledge at Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was beaten to death in February of 1994. One brother, Keith Allen was sentenced to 18 months in prison for hazing. Keith claimed that the law against hazing was unconstitutional since it was unclear. Even worse is that the case
After long years of suffering, degradation, and different sorts of discrimination which the disadvantaged group of people had experienced, the “Affirmative Action Law” was finally passed and enforced for the very first time on September 24, 1965. The central purpose of the Affirmative Action Law is to combat racial inequality and to give equal civil rights for each citizen of the United States, most especially for the minorities. However, what does true equality mean? Is opportunity for everyone
and friends usually come to me to vent about their problems. 2. What training / education you have completed and what did you gain from those experiences? I got my associates in science at Harper College. At Harper, I was very involved in Phi Theta Kappa. I was the Vice President of membership in fall 2013 and secretary during the 2014-2015 school year. I was very involved in the Honors in action project, which helped enhance my research skills. Working on this project has also taught me that
