As we matriculate through life, we all have decisions that must be thought out and choices that need to be made. The decision of who we ultimately wish to become; the choice of whether you personally are going to make a change for the better or fall by the waste side as life continues to move. For some the choice was easy, for others, the decision was a bit more daunting. I have made my choice. My choice was more of a desire, I desire to be an Alpha Man. I desire this because this is an organization that has stood the test of time, and continues to be an image of change. I desire to be a part of this Organization because of the brotherly relationship it builds between men, its’ dedication to bettering our communities, as well as how mutually beneficial as far as growth. Brotherhood is more than blood and kinship; it is a connection with a person or a group of people built on love, trust, and respect; that you know is unbreakable. Alpha Phi Alpha has built its core principals around that one word. While that “one word” is one of the major reasons for their continued success throughout time. When you believe in something that is bigger than yourself, you can create change in the areas around your life. As a result, when you surround yourself with people that …show more content…
believe in the same objective, and people who have the goal mindset, you can change the world. Having that brotherhood is something that I have always desired, even as a kid. Not only does this organization bring a group of men I can always count on, but it is a positive group that wants change to occur. To change yourself is one thing; to change and affect the community and society in which you influence something completely different. Having influence over an area means that you are giving the power to implicate change from the people that are influenced by it. Using that power to create a better environment for all involved has been a goal of mine for a while. Seeing the flaws in my city which I grew up; and seeing family members institutionalized by the cultural norms of the city has been a major influence on myself to improve the city. Having a group that is solely known for its influence and impact; especially in the black community, means that you can get more done since that association gives you more credibility. When your main goal is change, you should do everything in your ability to accomplish that; including surrounding yourself that will make sure that happens. Brotherhood and community are values that I admire about the Organization, but I truly desire to be an Alpha Man because of the mutual growth that will occur on both sides.
The development of myself as an individual, as well as how I can contribute to the growth of the organization. Helping me be able to accomplish my goals as far as my city and my family goes. Every change and connection I make will only uplift and promote what the organization stands for as a whole. Every positive action, influence, and change that happens as a result will develop both; to create a more dynamic full effect for the people we affect. Changing the lives of the individual that are active in that community is the ultimate
goal. For an Organization that has been successful since its inception, they thrive on the contributions of its members. There are a few things that I myself would be able contribute to the Organization to help it continue to grow. I could contribute a different set of connections that weren’t previously there, a unique leadership style that can reach different types of audiences, as well as the technical skills and problem solving abilities. Coming from a unique city in Michigan, I have learned how to make a lot of connections that are long-lasting and span the country as well as the globe. These connections and networks can help advance the mission and objectives of this Fraternity. The connections I have and the connections I can find span to almost any area you think of. It can help move along a process for a potential program the organization runs. I have learned many different things throughout life which has given me a unique leadership styles which always me to keep a level head and reach a different audience. Being trained in Micro and Macro management I have learned on a basic level how to become a better leader and motivator. One tangible skill I can bring to the Fraternity is my experience with construction, carpentry growing up, as well as the training I have received as a structural engineering student. Having that background means I can be a handyman for the Fraternity and Chapter whenever need be. I also understand the basics of safety and design, so if the Fraternity ever needs anything build out of a certain material or with a certain price range. Using the relationship that comes from brotherhood, and a goal to develop our communities to grow individually and as an Organization creates an environment of change. That possibility of change, growth and development is why I desire to be an Alpha Man. The choices and decisions we make can have a major impact. Not just with ourselves, but with everything and everybody around us. Creating a positive change is the ultimate goal.
Being able to lead and inspire a team to perform their best and strive to achieve goals. I do this through relationship building, being passionate about the goals, and influencing those around me.
At a young age I knew as an African American woman through activism, educational autonomy, and community service, I can thrive through the wake of extreme poverty and turmoil faced by the people of my neighborhood of East New York. My interest in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., would be based solely on their ethical standards, history, and values they are founded upon. The ladies of this organization exude exemplary character who excel in sisterhood, respect, honesty, accountability, and integrity. Throughout my life I always encouraged myself to have these ideal characteristics without knowing that one day I would be pursuing membership in a prestigious organization, whom upheld the key principles “greater service, greater progress.

Women of Delta, especially the ladies of the Alpha Tau Chapter, excel excessively in everything they accomplish and partake in from what I have seen on Southern Universities campus and in the community. Their outstanding work ethics, academics success, social friendliness, dominating attitudes, and constant need to help others is just a few explanations why I would be honored to be a lovely member of ...
Why do I want to be an area officer? While these words are not exactly the same as previous essay prompts I have been given, they all share the same idea; “Why do I want to be a leader”? Looking back at my old responses they are all focused on similar concepts; I wanted to be a leader because of the friendships, traveling and meeting new people, building better leadership skills, learning how to better communicate with people, and acquiring life skills, such as patience, teamwork, organization, and dedication. While all of these things have some importance, they should never be the reason someone wants to be a leader. When I wrote these I thinking about how to better myself, rather than how to help others. I was thinking selfishly. At the time I didn’t know what it truly meant to be a leader, to be willing to sacrifice myself for others. Even while I am still young and have much to learn, I finally understand why I want to be a leader and what a true leader should look like. I would like the opportunity to serve as a 2014-2015 Area Officer, so that I can better serve the FFA, my fellow members, and ultimately my world.

In sources of strength, the members are chosen as someone who would be a person anyone could come up and talk with if they were having a bad day. Also, as seniors we have two seventh grade kids that we mentor. I do this because I remember how hard it was being a seventh grader and not really knowing much about high school. Once a week we sit down and talk with the children. I always love the stories they have to tell and I truly feel blessed when I can help with anything they are struggling with. Whether that be something in school or something at home, it is so fulfilling talking with them. This activity has taught me what it means to give back to a school and to these kids who need my help. I love service and I spend a lot of time trying to help others with problems. Sources of strength has let me do just that. I have learned what it means to be a leader. This is a large responsibility I do not take lightly. I know the actions I do will have an effect on others, so I try to make sure those effects are positive at all
For years I have aspired to become a part of an elite organization such as the military, and more importantly, the United States Navy. Its reputation for instilling high moral character was encouragement for me to develop into a more mature, responsible, and independent young citizen. There are certain qualities that an officer must possess such as: honor, courage, commitment, and attention to duty, responsiveness to orders, cooperation, loyalty, leadership, integrity, and discipline. Throughout my high school career, I showcased these qualities while an active member of The American Legion of Ohio Buckeye Boy’s State, The National Honor Society, as a leader in the Ohio State Highway Patrol Junior Cadets, Clay and Waite High School Marching Band Alumni, Quiz Bowl, and Top Ten Scholars. I was actively involved in charitable activities such as Math and SOS tutoring, community volunteering, and the Indian 100 Leadership Team, (a volunteer organization on my high school campus). I have shown strength, perseverance and leadership in my participation in wrestling, cheerleading, and bodybui...

Will Smith once said, “If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better”. As a young child, I always tried to find a way to help someone in need. I grew up volunteering in some capacity from volunteering at the local Stew Pot to helping implement organization’s events at my school. When I came to Jackson State University, I had never been introduced to Golden Key International Honor Society. I became introduced to Golden Key at the organizational fair during the fall semester in 2014. From listening to the experiences of current members of Golden Key, my interest to join increased.

I am sure that most women have fantasized at some point in their life, about a man that is extremely handsome, muscular, and has a sex appeal that could be seen even in his walk. The way he walks and his body language tell a woman that he has the highest ego in the world. These are some of the characteristics of an alpha male. An alpha male is a person who is strong and has the power to make dreams turn into a reality.
that fraternity life has a lot behind it and the members take it very seriously.
