During the Spring of 2016 on the campus of Concordia College Alabama, a group of female educators formed an interest group to determine the feasibility of chartering a chapter of the National Sorority Phi Delta Kappa, Incorporated. The excitement was high and the commitment was strong. Through family emergencies and professional obligations, 22 successful and dedicated female educators met, studied, laughed, and learned together. Through the strength, the determination and the persistence of the "Tenacious 22" the Zeta Delta chapter became the 142nd chapter of The National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa Incorporated was chartered October 8, 2016.

This paper will discuss Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and how it started. The sorority was founded by nine educated black college women. By the names of Ethel Hedgeman-Lyle, Anna Easter Brown, Beulah Elizabeth Burke, Lillie, Burke, Marjorie Hill, Margaret Flagg (Holmes), Lavinia Norman, Lucy Diggs Slowe and Marie Woolfolk (Taylor). Shortly thereafter they invited seven sophomores to join them in becoming founders and they are Norma Boyd, Ethel J. Mawbray, Alice P. Murray, Sarah M. Nutter, Joanna Berry (Shields), Carrie E. Snowden, and Harriet J. Terry. Together they decided that with Ethel’s vision and their combined educational backgrounds, they would create an organization of like minded women to go out in the world and be of…
In my Sigma Chi career, the most contribution I've made is owning every position that I've held. Up until my term, no one had ever done anything with the positions of Tribune/Public Relations. In my tenure, I started a bi monthly alumni newsletter, and completely redesigned our website. We were able to better involve alumni in chapter operations as well as increased our web traffic six-fold. In Quaestor, I was able to redesign how we operated collections from brothers. With this we were able to utilize apps on phones for brothers to pay dues and other chapter expenses, this led to high collection rates and the ability to pay off a $8,100 RMF bill in one semester, all the while staying in budget constraints; this had never been done before.…
The award wasn’t a reflection of the current chapter or its executive board. It was a reflection of 104 years of promising and challenging times. The men who remained in 2010 could have folded on their commitment to the chapter but instead they decided to build an awarding winning chapter that the university, alumni and all brothers could be proud of. The men of Alpha Tau challenged the process and beat a culture of apathy by engaging alumni and inspiring the men of Alpha Tau.…
The National Honors Society recognizes students who have great leadership skills, strong character, and who have a great desire to serve their community. I believe that I demonstrate all of these attributes. I work very hard to do well in school, I continue to serve in leadership positions in the community and I strive to be an individual…
The four pillars of National Honor Society – character, leadership, scholarship, and service – are the attributes that define the society’s members. Therefore, all pillars are important for students to follow, so that they may benefit the world and make a difference. Character, for instance, is the product of relentlessly striving to make the right choices, one after the other. Furthermore, young leaders displaying initiative, self-sacrifice, determination, and confidence can lead anything to greatness.…
I would like to begin by saying that I am honored to be a nominee for membership into the 2013 Senior Honor Society of York College of Pennsylvania. I take passion in my academic studies and my community involvement. The opportunity to be recognized for the impact I have made on my college and local community is truly flattering. After spending my first two years at Millersville University, I began my studies at York College in my third year of college as a junior. Living in Spring Grove, I made the decision to live at home, work a part-time job, and commute to York College. These factors are all things that could have impacted my campus-life involvement, but I was determined to not let these factors impact my college experience. I jumped head first into the York College Community and was accepted with open arms into whatever groups I wanted to become affiliated with on campus.…
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.…
The four pillars of the National Honor Society; scholarship, leadership, character, and service are the four qualities of a well-rounded individual. They have not only embodied who I strive to be, but have helped me achieve success and impact throughout my local community and my time as a national honor society member. Scholarship has helped me define not only who I am as a student, but has helped me prepare for my future. Without my drive to maintain my academics and pursue knowledge, I would not have discovered my love and passion for teaching. This newly discovered passion has helped me narrow down my future career, special education. Service, has helped me develop one of my individual characteristics, as I now understand the importance…
“The hardest obstacle to overcome in any leadership position is getting past the apathy to get people involved in the process to get things done…The greatest enemy to accomplishment is apathy” (Burke). National Honor Society upholds its members to have 4 important values. These being scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Leadership, in my opinion, is a very important aspect in National Honors Society because you are expected to be a role model by positively inspiring people around you. This quote stuck out because it says that inspiring people is a way to overcome obstacles in leadership. If you inspire people and make them get rid of their apathy, you can overcome stalling in the process and reach accomplishment.…
As quite the introvert, I never would have imagined myself as the secretary of such a renowned organization: the National Honor Society. However, I had decided to take on the challenge of running for board, requiring me to give a speech to our 500+ NHS members. My strengths did not lie in public speaking or persuasion like the other candidates. Instead, my speech involved me singing Mulan’s “Be a Man,” using ingenuity and humor to win over opinions. I believe that pushing yourself into an unfamiliar situation is the best way to learn and grow, as this approach demands problem solving and innovative thinking. NHS has pushed me to be more outgoing and active in the community by giving me the privilege of leadership, and I would definitely serve…
As a result, homecoming court was a diverse group of individuals ranging from the first chair in orchestra to a special needs child to a founder of an SAT Prep Club. The local news network Herald spotlighted our event, because of the new function of homecoming court, resulting a special needs student who won homecoming king. I believe that my ingenuity to learn from others perspective, and be an open minded individual granted me the opportunity to understand that there was a bigger issue: people felt that the past homecoming court nomination procedure was shallow. At the brink of falling into the abyss, I nearly quitted leadership because of students who became unfavorable of me. However, I chose not to quit because I knew my purpose in serving my community and of being a servant leader. I was bold and took initiative, regardless of any leadership role. I learned doing what is best for my community, school, and institution, was all that mattered, not my social status within a class…
