The Importance Of The Six Pillars Of Character In Tri Sigma
Being a woman of character is an important aspect of the Tri Sigma Mission and to me. To be a woman of character, I believe, is based upon an individuals morals, traits, and behavior. This is important because as a large diverse group of women, we all strive for similar goals. Being in Tri Sigma has further educated me about the "Six Pillars of Character", which include trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. Tri Sigma members stand for these values because it depicts how universities, communities, and the nation view the sorority and Greek life. The importance of character is is always being thought of, and is what shapes Tri

    Panopoulos on her opinion on this matter. She explained that an issue she is grappling with is campus safety and the association with mental health. She began becoming concerned when she was the residence life director in Greek life for a sorority called Gamma Phi Beta. She advocates for not only the safety of young women but also young men. She also brought to my attention the importance of maintaining good mental health, and how college campuses realize this and therefore most have free psychological services on campus. Mrs. Panopoulos point got me wondering what would lack of insurance or free counseling services do for student success. I also asked Mrs. Meckler to discuss other contemporary issues that are occurring in her field. She mentions that transfer and graduation rates are getting lower, and it can possibly the from the lack of critical tracking of student progress throughout their time in the college. I agree with Mrs. Meckler that building rapport and following up with students might increase retention rates and student…

    Minerva was a strong character in the Dominican Republic society. She was very interested in politics and women’s rights. Instead of getting married early and having children, she intended on going to law school and be more involved in politics. She was very motivated and she did not let anyone hold her back when she was aroused on something. She was not afraid to speak up to the public about Trujillo’s wrong doings. “ I want to go to the university” (Alvarez 98) and, “I’m not interested in admirers until I have my law degree” (Alvarez 99). Although Minerva was bold, independent, and stubborn at times, she wanted to stand up for what was right, and fix what was abominable. Minerva was the most independent out of the four sisters; she was a strong woman in the Dominican Republic…

    Intellectually--As a female who cherished intellectual and college life, Alice Palmer was to expand the enrollment of female students. She believed that girls failed to go to college because they or their parents didn’t see the benefits of college training32. She had also promoted intellectual achievements and the desire to lead a socially useful life in female students 33. As the first female president in Wellesley, Alice exercised great importance in shaping admission standards, curricular reform, and professional standards for faculties34. The curricular reform indicated her proposal for women intellectual development instead of training for motherhood. During her presidency, she slowly shifted the Wellesley focus from training Christian womanhood to cultivating young women’s…

    Growing up Minerva was almost the bravest out of all the sisters. She was not afraid to speak her mind, even if they might be spies around. She would say things about Trujillo that would make everyone jump and ask if she was trying to get everyone killed. She always wanted to be free and make a difference in the world. Government and politics were not a place for women. A woman’s place was to follow her husband and be loyal to her husband. Minerva, on the other hand, wanted to be a lawyer. In reply, her mother comments, “ Just what we need, skirts in the law!” Minerva argues, however, “It is just what this country needs ... It’s about time we women had a voice in…

    During the year 1899, in the state of Virginia, there was a man named Mr. John Walter Wayland who, at the time, entered into a contest with only the hopes of coming out as the winner. Many years ago, The Baltimore Sun came up with a competition for the best definition of a “True Gentleman.” After his submission, Mr. John Walter Wayland was nonetheless selected as the winner, with his definition of the “True Gentleman” being printed in the Baltimore newspaper as well as in many other publications thereafter. For many years, the author of the “True Gentleman” was thought to be anonymous, until the 1970’s when the editor of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon pledge manual, The Phoenix, Mr. Joseph Walt, discovered that the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis also used the “True Gentleman” definition in their manual, where they came to find the true author to be Mr. John Walter Wayland. However, it wasn't until 2001, during the Fraternity Convention in Orlando, Florida, that it was officially adopted as Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s creed. As a future member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, I am expected to know, understand, and exemplify Mr. John Walter Wayland’s definition of the “True Gentleman,” which reads: “The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than his own; and who appears well in any company; a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe” (Mr. John Walter Wayland – Virginia 1899). In one way, I view the “True…

    Because I believe the foundation of living is to serve others with the tools God has provided, I use the Bible as a guiding resource, which both she and her siblings were taught as children from the environment in which she was raised to think and to act. It is not until we are adults that we have a sense of individualism. One must define his/her own beliefs and values in life. We are unique just as God created us. One does not have to define who he/she is with scriptures in order to best understand his/her personal and professional beliefs. Our lives are influenced within our environments; our values and beliefs are a continuous growth. God provides individuals with the resources and the tools in life to strengthen our beliefs and validate our values.…
