The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze student cultures in the book Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities, by Alexandra Robbins. The book provides a glimpse of the historically white national sorority system and investigates their secret group behavior. In the United States and Canada, approximately 800 institutions host social Greek Life on their campuses (Long, 2012). These chapters within the Greek Life system promote the ideals of scholarship, leadership, service, and friendship. However, in the Robbins’ book and narrative of a sorority illustrates sorority life and negative realities of that system, such as rush, bid, racism, pledging, initiation, Greek Week, breaks-up and sexual assaults.

I am writing this letter to express my interest in your illustrious organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. I am currently a senior majoring in Criminal Justice, minoring in African American Studies with aspirations of becoming a Social Justice Attorney. Born in the inner city of New York and being raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, I am not your typical Southern Belle or City girl. I like to think of myself as being a fine mix of the two. At a young age my mother groomed me into what she believed a well-rounded lady should be.

The first notable member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated that really sticks out to me is Umzae George Washington Carver. He was initiated in the Gamma Chapter in the year of 1918. To begin I selected him, because he was a very familiar name. I remember learning about Umzae George Washington Carver in the elementary and middle school. With creating over 100 different uses for the peanut, soybean, and sweat potato he was a very prominent African American man in the 1920s.

My intention is not to join this organization to step or because I like to party but, because I believe whole-heartedly in the values of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., scholarship, service, sisterhood and finer womanhood. I believe that through Zeta Phi Beta Inc. I will be able to fine tune my leadership skills, make lifelong friendships and help people on my journey as others did for me. It is my hope that this lifestyle will change my life for the better.

Within any particular system, there is present an underlying motive for success in every sense of the word. While in some scenarios, that motive can be hidden beneath the desire to fit in, above all this, the idea of prosperity is the main factor in motivating individuals toward their goals. Susan Faludi, the author of “The Naked Citadel”, explores how at the all-boys college, students are pressured into conforming to the “Whole Man” standard where they develop brotherhood, a sense of structure, and belonging. When these men are able to develop such strong bonds with one another, several flaws come about. The majors issues at The Citadel, lie in their denial of women into the school, and the traumatic hazing new students endure.

And systems that are ‘personalized’ are highly desirable.” In other words, instead of joining organizations to gain new knowledge and experiences, students join groups that contain members most similar to themselves. For example, college students often join a group that is specific to their religion or ethnicity and as a result, do not participate in any other organizations. I have been exposed to this process as a college student myself and have seen first-hand how students tend to associate only with fellow members of their organization. By allowing the formation of so many specific groups, colleges actually deprive students of their chances to meet and become aware of other cultures, races, ethnicities, and

At Western Michigan University, there are many micro-cultures.  One particular micro-culture I want to belong to is a sorority by the name of Delta Sigma Theta, incorporated.  Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. was founded on January 13, 1913, 103 years ago, by 22 collegiate women at Howard University to promote academic excellence and provide assistance to those in need. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is the largest African-American Greek-lettered organization.

The decision to write this essay was because this topic was very interesting in ways such as their Gods, beliefs, and their way of life and how the women and men lived differently. Greek culture has many folktales and myths behind every character and way that the Greek people lived but never the real stories behind their lives and who Greek people were, so here is information gained to help understand more about how this culture existed and lived to answer, What Greek culture and religion is and how the culture affects the daily lives of Grecin people. The Geek culture began way back in roman times where boys and girls were divided in schools, as well as in some parts of rome the girls and boy were even taught how to battle in war as their

I genuinely care about my sorority. I care about our reputation, as well as the safety and well-being of my sisters. Going through rush as a sophomore gave me a unique perspective about joining a sorority. I wasn’t there solely to make friends or go to socials and date nights. I was there to take advantage of everything a sorority had to provide for me at UGA.

In addition, the educational and cultural opportunities available to Greek women were more significant than those available to their Roman counterparts. For instance, most Roman women were expected to focus on domestic skills and tasks. However, certain Greek women may learn to read and write, study philosophy and literature, and support the arts and sciences. Conclusion

I believe I should be selected for the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Scholarship because I am not the typical high school senior. When it comes to my education, I go about and beyond expectations. My desire to do my best in school shows consistently year after year. I put in equal amount of effort when it comes to my after school activities and community involvement. I was told at a young age that education was the key to success and from that point on I made it my main priority not to be the average student among those that settle for less but to be a outstanding student that rises to every occasion to take advantage of my education.

Explain your interest in joining Phi Delta Epsilon-MA Alpha Chapter. * I want to join Phi Delta Epsilon because it would provide me the chance to build lifelong connections and gain networking opportunities.

Joining the fraternity is the beginning phase of my strenuous road to become a successful physician.

The study focuses on how 4th year high school graduates cope up to college milieu. The students are freshman at present and mostly are those who find hard time acclimate to college life. Many students welcome the freedom to make their own decisions about what they want to do each day while in college. This affects their behavior as they involved themselves in college activities because "freedom" might be abused in terms of attending class, choosing friends, and others. There are many factors that freshman students must seriously take in consideration.
