Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity
I am a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. and being apart of this lifetime bond we pride ourselves in service centered on better the institution we attend and the neighboring communities. This semester my brothers and I have participated in multiple community service experiences, but what I particularly would like to speak about is a service that I am currently putting together. This service would involve my fraternity brothers and I volunteering time on Saturdays at the New Orleans YLC. What we would be specifically task with is going and spending time with kids in an underserved area; playing sports with them and just fellowshipping with them. We are having our first orientation this Wednesday February 17th. From that date on we will …show more content…
Today in class we spoke of Lent and read a bible verse from Isaiah, it spoke of not fasting as just a motion that you are doing but to truly be spiritually immersed in it. I can truly say that I am not partaking in this service just as a means to fulfill a requirement but because I feeling a calling to help. There are many young males that don’t have the opportunity converse with an older male in college that can help them on a righteous path to success. Likewise there are many young ladies that don’t know what a gentleman is and I believe that through our actions the will see the proper way that they should be treated. Hopefully they will be able to take this experience along with them and share what they have learned. This is what God has called us to do spread his message and part of that action is spreading love and that is what we are trying to …show more content…
I have come to understand that I have an innate urge to help those more disadvantaged than I. I believe that God has placed this urge in my so that I can be an instrument of his will. We all have the potential and are called to me such an instrument and that calling comes in different avenues for each person. I believe that I have found one such avenue. I learned God understands and know the potential in each person and will task him or her with only the things they have the power to handle. I pray that as the years go forth and I enter into my professional career this experience and other experience will grant me the knowledge on how to create a nonprofit organization that will help the children of Haiti gain a proper education. I this yearning to construct something of that nature could only be placed in me from God and that’s how I know that I will be able to bring it into

    Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity

    Brotherhood is a powerful experience that can be seen not only in fraternities but also in other groups such as sport teams, church, corporations, and organizations. Society often dictates that men are incapable of establishing meaningful relationships or that college men are not focused enough to make a difference. This is far from the truth. An organization such as Phi Beta Sigma proves that men can form relationships that are meaningful, productive and invigorating.…

    Servant Evangelism

    It’s very difficult when we are in school to find the time to do what we love as disciples, which is to lead others to Christ.

This is not the nicest community but one where most of the lower working class resides.…

    Scholarship, leadership, service, and character and all words that have a significant weight on me. These words are the foundation of everything I need in order to succeed in life.

    Sororities

    Sororities are commonly known as a college social club or organization for women, with particular distinction given to the African American sororities. Brought about at the time in history when traditional roles of women were being challenged, the founders of the first black sororities had to overcome the stereotypical views of sexism as well. They were considered unique, although college wasn’t really an option for African American’s. Within society they were being treated in rejection because they were black. They wanted to have an organization that would be called sisterhood and ties into their community. Nine dedicated women wanted peace, sisterhood and wanted to become leaders amongst their communities so they formed the first African American sorority in 1908 called Alpha Kappa Alpha. With over a quarter of a millions members in the black sororities numbers are increasing over the years. They continue to be a part of their communities and educate youth in their community. When actual Greek letters were formed for sororities and fraternities white letter groups didn’t think black fraternity groups would be capable of understanding the meanings of the letters and Greek study as they did.…

    The Importance Of Volunteering In The National Honor Society

    In my Senior Year of being in the National Honor Society, I was excited to volunteer and to help those in need. I helped out with a soup kitchen in Brainerd through another organization that I am in, the Student Council. As I scooped soup into bowls and placed them onto people’s trays, I could see a look of appreciation and gratitude on their faces. This was the first time in my National Honor Society career where I understood just how much my time and effort meant to these individuals. This volunteer opportunity made me realize that a simple meal, smile, and effort to do something helpful and nice can really make someone’s day brighter or easier.…

    Kappa Gamma Case Study

    Upon assessing the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house at the University of Iowa, it was determined that stress management and time management were the top two health concerns for the girls that lived in the sorority house. This was determined by using the Checklist of Health Promotion at Worksites survey (CHEW) and a Needs and Interest Survey by Welcoa. Eight total needs and interest surveys were dispersed between a total of 36 members. This group of 8 was thought to accurately represent our target population of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority members between the ages of 18-21. To analyze the Needs and Interest Survey data, the average likeliness to attend each of the 13 different program topics was recorded and plotted on a bar graph.…

    Mission Trip to Haiti

    The next day I was awakened by sunshine and a breeze of crisp air. The camp we were staying was by no means a Hilton Hotel, but the rooms had running water, ceiling fans, bathrooms, and electrical outlets. When taking showers we were instructed to cut off the water as often as necessary to try to conserve as much as we could. After everyone was done getting prepared for that day there was a group meeting where we got to meet the staff at Mission of Hope, the kids that live on camp, the translators, cooks, and interns. Everyone was very kind and you could tell how big their hearts were. In our group meeting I got to tell everyone a little bit about myself and my reasons for wanting to come out and volunteer. The staff explained to everyone through this progress, the goal is to show the Haitian people that God and church can help strengthen the villages and…

    Personal Narrative: Best Buddies, Key Club, And The National Honor Society

    Countless times I wished to be face to face with the child or group I was indirectly supporting through monetary donations or through volunteer work and somehow provide them with more than just a temporary solution to their lifelong dilemma. I believe that the only true solution is to educate and provide them the means of which to construct a maintainable lifestyle without the constant support of others. In a perfect world, organizations such as American Red cross, Unicef, the Salvation Army, and every other organization that relies on donations would not exist and we’d simply live a life in which we primarily depend on ourselves. Simply because something seems unattainable or beyond our grasp doesn't mean we shouldn’t at least strive for it and that is exactly what my continued volunteer work will aim to do: work towards a perfect world. This idea reminds me of a commonly used expression by Norman Vincent Peal: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the…

Each of the founders accomplished feats unheard of from African Americans at that time and inspires and encourages other African Americans to follow the precedent set and make a difference within the black community and throughout the world.…

    Alpha Sorority Incorporated: Case Study

    In Today’s society the black woman is looked at as objects with bad attitudes. For example, shows like Love&Hip Hop, Basketball Wives, and Bad girls Club do not help the image of the black female any better. But I believe Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated purpose is to do the opposite of that. The purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated is to provide the best image of a Black lady. The purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated is to provide sisterhood, service, and high scholastics. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated members are supposed to be able to serve as role models to young girls so that they can see that black woman do not have to act like the ones on television.…
