To the Members of the Mu Pi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated: I believe the purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated is to bring together women who are striving to not only better themselves, but also the community around them through service, scholastic excellence, and sisterhood. Alpha women are change agents who hold their values close to them. They lead with a giving heart and conscious mind. Most importantly, they seek to educate and enrich the African American community by culture and merit. I believe that I hold many talents and skills that would make me an asset to the sorority. I have held many leadership positions with organizations on and off Spelman’s campus. I have also committed my Spelman matriculation to actively serving the Atlanta community. I think each of these experiences has granted me the opportunity to network and build connections that will not only benefit the Mu Pi Chapter, but also the sorority as a whole. I have had personal experiences with a lot of the target areas, especially Educational …show more content…
I have had ups and downs with my health, family life, and sometimes academics. One thing that has remain consistent has been my commitment to service. I have been a member of Sisters Keeping It Real Through Service (S.K.I.R.T.S) since my freshman year. This allows me to participate in various service opportunities every month. Towards the end of my freshman year I decided that I wanted to make service an even bigger part of my life. I joined the UPS Scholars program because I wanted to enter the Atlanta Public School System and create change. Since joining the program, I have completed over 300 hours of community service, as well as built relationships with students that have changed not only my perspective on educational enrichment, but my life. These kids help me overcome any obstacle that is in my way because they hold me accountable. I can’t them enough for

Some of my extracurricular activities include Science Olympiad, STEM Academy, International Club, Advanced Academics Club, and Chem Club. During high school I have participated in various community-based organizations, the two most common being Beta Club and National Honor Society. However while these clubs have allowed me to give back to my community in numerous ways, it was strangely not either of these clubs that expanded my interest in the following particular social issue. Rather it was my involvement in Science Olympiad, specifically volunteering to help run a local Elementary school tournament, that expanded my view of the STEM field.
Day in and day out we hear about high school and college students wanting to pursue a sorority and/or a fraternity based on the stereotypes these organizations uphold, well I chose to differ.

From my perspective, I encourage myself to maintain a respectable appearance and reputation which doing so inspires me to embrace my self-concept; which helps me confidently excel academically and professionally as a “lady of distinction” and “exemplary character.” Most importantly, I continuously remain involved in community service, being involved allows me the opportunity to learn and understand the lives and circumstances of others by opening my mind, heart, and soul. Overall these qualities strengthen my passion to be a member of the prestigious Alp...

Before the eighteenth century, one would not even know what a sorority was; let alone what a sorority meant to the community. Today, everyone is familiar what sorority mean and what they accomplish for the community. The American Heritage Student Dictionary’s definition of sorority is “a chiefly social organization of women students at a college or university; an association of women” (882).

There are many different preconceived ideas about what it means to be in a sorority, and many of them are not good things. When I was in high school, if I heard the words “sorority sister” I would immediately think of drunk party girls who was most likely failing all their classes. That was my preconceived idea of what it meant to be a member of these groups, but after I have encountered various members of sororities, I know now that I was wrong. A sorority is defined as a social group for females that are in college. There are very many different sororities all over the United States, and they can be distinguished by the Greek letters that make up their name. Most people think that sororities are just for popular

Kappa Alpha Psi Inc. is the organization I wish to represent, progress, and be a member of because their objectives and goals, represent what I stand for, and I couldn’t see myself joining any other fraternity.
