Being A Sorority Sister
Being a sorority sister, there is a certain expectation of social interaction and personal development; you can’t hide away. You are required to participate in activities which gets you out there doing stuff you may never have pictured yourself doing before. These experiences help to enrich your communication skills and responsibility.
As a sorority women you are presented with numerous opportunities to be a leader within your chapter. You can hold an officer position, leader positions and committee positions based on how involved you would like to be. Our ADPi chapter - Beta Epsilon - has won the Maxine Blake Golden Lion Award the last two years in a row which is the highest honor a chapter can receive. By receiving this award, your chapter …show more content…
First there’s Kathy Bates of American Horror Story. She has been nominated for over 100 awards in her lifetime and has won 29 of them. Not only is she an actor and director but she is also a spokesperson for lymphedema. Just this september she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We also have heavy hitters such as Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Nancy Grace of Nancy Grace, Karen Hughes who served as the Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs under the George W. Bush Administration and professional golfer Sandra Palmer. Probably the most aw-ing of these is Ainsley Earhardt, anchor and correspondent for Fox News. She was a Beta Epsilon which means she was an ADPi at the University of South Carolina. And of course there is Caroline Boyer, wife of country singer Luke Bryan and envy of every …show more content…
We are female senators and female astronauts. We defy all obstacles in our way nevertheless there are those individuals that give us stereotypes. For example ADPi’s stereotype is the “good girl”. According to this stereotype we are smart, bible girls that you take home to mom. I personally am not offended by this stereotype. It’s actually quite flattering. However I did meet a guy last year (now my friend) whom was shocked to learn I was an ADPi at a party; his reasoning being “I thought y’all just stayed in and studied” He quickly became aware of my pledge class and still laughs about this today. For those girls scare of being branded the “good girl” ADPi may not be right for

    What Does Sisterhood Mean to Me?

    When I think of the word sisterhood, I think of more than one individual sharing a blood-like connection. A sister is someone who you can talk to when you can't talk to anyone else. Someone you can get into an argument with and laugh within the next second because you know each other didn't mean it in a harmful way. She is someone who can make you laugh when you feel like crying, and will always keep it 100 with you by not telling you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. That someone you can depend on to be your rock when everything else is shaky. I believe that sisterly love means to accept your sister for what and who she is flaws and all.…

    Discourse Community Analysis Sample

    Currently, all the new members in this chapter are learning the greek alphabet. The acronym for Sigma Kappa is “ΣΚ.” Sorority sisters can communicate through email, text messages, and a Facebook page. I am a new member at the moment, and I communicate with my sisters through an app called “group me.” I love this app, because I am able to ask all the girls in the group me if they want to get lunch, and within seconds, I’ll receive 50 replies. It is also used to ask questions such as, what time the meetings are. I love having these sisters, because someone is always there for…

    Motivation Evaluation

    The famous person that I chose to write about is Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford started off as a cabinetmaker. He did this job for fifteen years, just to make sure that he was able to pay his bills and put food on the table every day. Harrison Ford worked as a stagehand for The Doors, he built sound studios for Sergio Mendes, and he made cabinets for George Lucas. At the time George Lucas was not a well-known producer like he is now and he was producing the film American Graffiti. He offered Harrison Ford a small role in the film to make a little extra money and Harrison said yes. Later, as George Lucas become more famous, he asked Harrison Ford to do construction work for a bigger office. One day while doing construction, Harrison Ford was asked by George Lucas to read lines for the actors who were absent. The film just happened to be Star Wars. The off-the-cuff performance impressed Stephen Spielberg and he offered the lead role to Harrison Ford. The movie Star Wars ended up being the highest-grossing movie in history. Because of this movie Harrison Ford began a long career in Hollywood.…

    Stereotypes In The Military

    Today, before we even get to know a person, we fit them into a stereotype we think they fit best in, without any knowledge of that person, we just call it how we see it and go from there. A stereotype is based on something that is true, but is exaggerated and isn’t always true, a misconception, however, is formed from a stereotype but has no truth behind it, for example, going outside without putting a sweater will result in getting sick. Today women are considered strong and intelligent, and fought long and hard for the equality they deserve, still they battle with stereotypes about how women aren’t as smart as men, or that women aren’t good at sports and so on and so forth. Of all the stereotypes, women in the army are the most understated…

    Successful Communication: Rush For A Sorority

    A communication event I recently attended was "rush" for a sorority. It was a series of days where I met with all the different sororities. The whole point of this is to meet many different people to decide which sorority is for you. The event is focused around communicating with people so they can get to know you and you can get to know them. If you send the wrong message about yourself you may not be invited back the next day to see the people that you would like to see again. Also if the person you talk to in the sorority sends the wrong message to you, you may not want to go back and visit that sorority again. You could not be successful with something like this if you cannot communicate properly and if you…

    Honor Society Characteristics

    A leader is born, not made. Through a long period of times, through different system of educations and experiences in life, every leader can be how they are today, like Bill Gates for example after all the hard works and the desire of wanting to achieving their goals. National Honor Society is an organisation that has had a lot of young leaders at different ages in which show the important qualities of being a leader, not just stop at being an inspirational place and have a strong desire. They accepted criticisms to gather experiences, they accepted novel changes, and they accepted failures as lessons.

    Effects of Gender Stereotype

    * Women's gender stereotyping is more commonly discussed when teaching gender stereotypes because many believe that the gender stereotyping of women has been a huge disadvantage for the advancement of women socially, through education and in the workforce. Common gender-stereotypical qualities of women are: submissive, quiet, neat, weak, clean, clumsy, incompetent and motherly. Because social pressures to fulfill these expectations are strong, typically enforced by parents, friends, teachers and media, many women conform to these qualities. They refrain from speaking their minds, becoming active in strength-related sports and not progressing especially well in the workforce because of insecurity and the pressure to become a mother. Those who do not conform to gender roles are often considered harsh, controlling or manly.…

    Stressful Situation Case Study

    Any sister of a sorority should treat others with respect, compassion, and kindness. Regardless of the recruitment process these values should be upheld the most. When someone chooses to join a sorority, they should expect sisters to be upholding these values. Joining a sorority is a meaningful experience that can change a person’s life forever; at the same time, joining a sorority should be a pleasant experience. When I went through recruitment, my recruitment counselor made me feel quite comfortable; she was easy to talk to, and she was able to easily answer my questions. She treated everyone with respect, and was not hesitant to help us in whatever we needed. If I could be as awesome as she was I know that I will be an effective recruitment counselor.…

    Community Intelligence Group Analysis

    Honestly, I think the female stereotypes still continue after joining this service learning. Although people saw women more equally in different countries, women have been regarded as the weaker with fewer rights for a long period of time and cannot change easily. I think women are also the cause of the situation and they make the gender difference be continue by themselves. They still believe that being a wife and a mother has long been regarded as the significant and profession role for them although they were afforded the right to study under the educational system and start to open their door to more career…
