Grace Gardner begins attending Wallace University and decides to join the Kappa Kappa Tau sorority led by the vicious Chanel Oberlin and her minions to honor her mother, who was once a member. Dean Cathy Munsch attempts to disband them due to Chanel's pervasive behavior, but sorority chief Gigi Caldwell intercedes in their favor, and, as a compromise, Kappa Kappa Tau is forced to accept any pledges who wish to become members, including Grace, Zayday Williams and Hester "Neckbrace" Ulrich, damaging Chanel's reputation and causing her self-centered boyfriend Chad Radwell, a member of the Richie Dollar fraternity, to break up with her. Ms. Bean, the house's maid, is killed in a prank gone wrong devised by Chanel to scare the pledges away, and…

Upon assessing the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house at the University of Iowa, it was determined that stress management and time management were the top two health concerns for the girls that lived in the sorority house. This was determined by using the Checklist of Health Promotion at Worksites survey (CHEW) and a Needs and Interest Survey by Welcoa. Eight total needs and interest surveys were dispersed between a total of 36 members. This group of 8 was thought to accurately represent our target population of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority members between the ages of 18-21. To analyze the Needs and Interest Survey data, the average likeliness to attend each of the 13 different program topics was recorded and plotted on a bar graph.…
This paper will discuss Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, and how it started. The sorority was founded by nine educated black college women.

After the purchase of the castle that has been build between the years of 1908 and 1912. This home has complete tower terraces and elaborately decorated rooms that are entirely made from hand-mixed concrete. Additionally, there are more than forty-four rooms, eighteen fireplaces, thirty-two staircases and more than two hundred windows that vary in shapes and sizes. According to reading materials and the tours of Henry Mercere, this home was created with his own tiles, prints and collections of his own. Henry gave his appreciation in an unforgivable way to his aunt Lela Elizabeth Lawrence by creating a room with her initials EL around border in her dedication for the money she left him to build and create his dreams. According to the article The Enduring Legacy of Henry Chapmen Mercer Mercer’s aunt Elizabeth was his greatest influences and she exposed him to her life in the society she instilled in him, which was a great sense of self and independence. Also, Henry Mercer, commonly had dogs since he was the only one living in the castle other than the people who worked for him. Out of the thirty-two stairwells that were in the home of Fonthill, there was another dedication that was made to his dog Rollo, who left his paw prints in the concrete in the Columbus Room as Henry was designing the room along with bright colors and memorable tiles of his own creations. As Henry Mercer was creating and designing his home from the interior to the exterior, he decided that his own was going to be created into a museum so the world could also enjoy his home and all his handcrafted tile…
The Knights of Columbus was founded by an Irish-American Catholic priest, The Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney in New Haven, Connecticut. He gathered a group of men from St. Mary's parish for an organizational meeting on October 2, 1881 and the Order was incorporated under the laws of the U.S. state of Connecticut on March 29, 1882. Though the first councils were all in that state, the Order spread throughout New England and the United States in subsequent years. The primary motivation for the Order was to be a mutual benefit society. As a parish priest in an immigrant community, McGivney saw what could happen to a family when the breadwinner died and wanted to provide insurance to care for the widows and orphans left behind. He himself…

The long nights of folding colored paper into meticulous shapes over and over again until your fingers are raw and bleeding. The even longer nights of unfolding the paper, fluffing it up and sticking it into chicken wire. This is called pomping, or also known as placing squares of colored tissue paper to boards. It is also a way to decorate plywood boards that are just a small part of a larger float. Chicken wire, lots of colored plastic sheets and power saws litter the basements and backyards of sorority and fraternity houses all over campus throughout the months leading up to Homecoming week. Pomping is a thorough task which every new sorority member is required to participate in before homecoming. Starting three months in advance we go to the fraternity house which we are paired up with and pomp. Each week is something different. The first night is a “get to know them” party where we bake them goodies and meet our “pomping partner”. A pomping partner is someone you are paired with based on your likes and dislikes. This is the person you are paired with each night of pomping. Now let me tell you, you get really close with this person especially when we pomp twenty hours a week. Each week of pomping is different. The first couple of weeks you fold tissue paper into a six section fan shape. Each tissue paper is different colors. There is brown, red, white, yellow and black. Colors depend on the theme of each sororities float. The next few weeks you then unfold all the tissue paper you have folded previously and connect it to chicken wire. The chicken wire is layed out on a flat table with tape outlining where we are supposed to place the tissue. This process alone is very rigorous. We spend hours upon hours putting pomp into this chicken wire to form a huge float in the end. We also are given pomp on weekends that need to be completed and turned in by Monday. Several weeks later after all the long hours…
Kappa Alpha Nu changed its name on April 15 1915 to Kappa Alpha Psi. The first Black Greek-lettered organization Sigma Pi Phi began under Henry M. Minton. Minton had been considered for membership into many fraternities, but had not been successful in being approved. Like Prince Hall, Minton had been rejected by fraternal organizations; he decided to create organization that would provide the benefits of a fraternity for black men. In a meeting with Dr. E.C. Howard, Dr. A.B. Jackson, Dr. R.J. Warwick, Dr. E.T. Hinson and Dr. Robert J. Abele, they decided to form the Sigma Pi Phi (aka Boule).…
The National Honors Society is more than just a honor roll, but an organization that recognizes the efforts made by hard working high school students. I would like to join National Honors Society because it would challenge my development in both my community and my school. The National Honors Society, consisting of over one million students, would make me a part of a large community that could create many opportunities for me in the future. A highly respected organization such as the National Honors Society is very significant to me.
