Fraternity

Alpha Phi Alpha was the first fraternity to establish its presence in 1906. The fraternity was founded by The Seven Jewels. The Jewels started this organization because of lack of academic and social achievements. I desire to be an Alpha Man because this will help me reach goals that I have set, also show me the importance of brotherhood, and help me to become a successful African American Male. The fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha is very big on academics. Joining this fraternity will not only help…

In 1908 Israel Zangwill updated the story of Romeo and Juliet to the love story between lovers from Russian Jewish and Russian Cossack families. In his play he illustrated that America was a place for new immigrants to end their old hatreds while they were being molded into being a sole entity : American. That was when the 1908 play The Melting Pot popularized the image of the United States as a melting pot. The metaphor "The melting pot" has been used to describe the differences in racial and…

Liberty, equality, and fraternity. The infamous phrase dates back as one of the countless slogans and mottos to galvanize the citizenry in the midst of the French Revolution. Today, this phrase exemplifies not only the republican ideals that ignited the revolution, but also embodies the country’s healthcare system; Liberty, or freedom of the patient to choose whichever doctor or healthcare provider he or she wishes to. Equality, in the universal medical coverage for all French citizens,…

violence, particularly in fraternities, continues to occur. The first thought is the idea of legacy. “Perhaps members of the fraternities have relatives, including fathers, who were members of the fraternity, and learned of the violence, and perhaps the animosities, among certain groups on campus from these relatives” (Zarco & Shoemaker, 1995, pp. 76-77). The researchers suggested that because these family members were a part of these fraternities, or saw the way these fraternities behaved on…

approve. They had no idea how lost I felt or how confused and frustrated I had become, trying to navigate all of the problems or issues that come with being in college without any advice or shared experiences with my family. I found a safe place in Fraternity and Sorority Life I found mentors and I figured out who I wanted to become. In the Fall of 2012 it would have been impossible for myself or my family to know how much college and sorority life would shape who I am today. Through-out my…

Service is one of the cardinal principles of the fraternity and is what the fraternity is defined by, as a service fraternity. The Service Vice-President I chose to interview is Alex Sierra. As…
