Essay On Becoming A Member Of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity
I have been a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated for over 10 years; inducted in the spring of 2006 at the Hattiesburg (MS) Alumni Chapter. Becoming a member of this Noble Klan has been the most rewarding privilege that I’ve ever been fortuned to experience. I am blessed to have the opportunity to learn, grow and development from not only the principles set forth by the fraternity, but from the knowledge and appreciation of understanding what it means to seek ACHIEVEMENT in every field of human endeavor.

It is with gratitude for those who came before me and with appreciation for those that will continue the legacy long after I reach the golden shore that I submit a recommendation for Xavier Manning for membership in our Noble Klan. I’ve known Xavier for a few years and can attest to his strength of character and determination that will ultimately uphold the high standards of

From that moment I noticed that he was a good person at heart and socially aware of the many issues that plague our communities. Having had the opportunity to speak with him about his educational endeavors I quickly learned that he was very passionate about his studies. In-fact he made it very clear that he planned on pursuing his bachelor’s degree immediately following completion of his associates. I can attest to the fact that he is extremely focused and determined to complete any task placed before him. His grades are up-to-par and I’m sure that he came to Jackson State University with great references.

I think that Xavier Manning would be great for the fraternity and hence, I am writing this recommendation for you to consider him for our Noble Klan.

I am available to you for a personal chat as well. I am confident that you will seriously consider him so that he too will one day share in the significance of being a Kappa

    The Ku Klux Klan was formed during the end of the Civil War in order to deny the civil rights of Southern African Americans. They are one of the oldest hate groups in America with a violent history that opposed everyone that wasn’t a white, protestant, Christian American. This includes Jewish, lesbian, gay, and immigrant individuals. Only recently do they allow Catholics into their numbers. They are infamous in popular culture as wearing white robes and hoods, burning crosses, lynching people of other races, and lobbying for sympathetic politicians. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the KKK currently estimates 5,000 to 8,000 members in various chapters. The Loyal White Knights and The Knights Party of the KKK have websites that post propaganda, news, faqs, events calendars, and applications for membership. They use these websites as ways to get potential members to come out to their functions. For instance, the Loyal White Kinghts Realm of Texas is having a meet and greet in Temple, TX on November 2, 2013. The KKK chapters in Texas include Empire Knights of the KKK, Lone Wolf Brigade Knights of the KKK, Loyal White Knights of the KKK, Southern Kalvary Knights of the KKK, United Klans of America, United White Knights of the KKK, and the White Camelia Knights of the KKK.…

    As an executive officer in Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, each individual is responsible for a legacy project during the school year. I was responsible for SOS Children’s Village which is a foster care neighborhood that houses children that were abused, neglected and/or abandoned. Even though this was a one-day experience, I was thrilled about the opportunity to work with children as I believe that no child should be denied proper medical care and a healthy home. It is said that time goes by when you are having fun. This was true for our experience as we went four hours over time. I coordinated leadership and team building activities for the children in which both the volunteers and participants enjoyed. Who knew that in five hours’ strong bonds can be developed with a stranger that you might not encounter again.…

Little did you know that with time those coins you left for someone else to have, made them worth more than what they used to be. My life was like a penny, not worth much to others but with help of others the bronze coin became much more than the silver coins.…

    I would be highly honored if I were to be accepted into NHS. When I heard of National Honor Society I knew right away that I wanted to become a part of it. Ever since I was a young child, I remember seeing my friends and family members proudly receive awards and recognitions for their hard work because of this, I too wanted to be like them. I am a very hard-working student and I love to gain knowledge of new things every day, and even though neither of my parents had the privilege to receive an education, I hope to go to college. Most of my family members from my father's side of the family either dropped out or weren’t able to finish school, so I will be the first to finish high school and to attend college.…

    As I sit here writing my first essay for Honors 101, I get to recall my decision making process to supposedly spending the best four years of my life at the University of Mississippi. To be honest, I believe I am very blessed to have an in-state school with the prestige such that of Ole Miss. Among others, a major reason I decided to come to Ole Miss was because of the low cost of tuition due to scholarships in return for a high value of education. From a young age, I have always been fascinated with Ole Miss’s rich history and breathtaking campus. All throughout my adolescence, family members with medical backgrounds have drilled into me to go to UMC to pursue a medical degree after my undergraduate studies. I believe it was part of my plan…
