Shortly after arriving on campus, the Mu Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha caught my attention because I realized that they play an integral role in various student organizations. One of my first experiences came when I attended a Black Student Movement meeting and everyone in attendance was to pair up to write notes to elementary school students.

For example, there are always articles discussing hazing and rape within Greek life, but there are never any articles discussing their philanthropy or how they give back to the community. Perhaps, the news does not focus on the positive aspects of sororities because there is not much to talk about, as Robbins said in her book…

The purpose of this committee was to raise funds for the new house so we could…

sorority, Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority and the Iota Phi Theta Fraternity. All these fraternities and sororities talked to us about their organization and how they give to the community. We even played a Greek game to see who was listening and actually paying…

Great Greek Thinkers By: Kelli Floyd The ancient Greeks were remarkably advanced in science, astrology and medicine. They made lots of discoveries, some of which were forgotten about for many years and some discoveries that even the Greeks at the time didn’t believe to be true. Although some of their learning was pulled from the Egyptians, they quickly moved far ahead of them for many reasons. The Greeks were allowed more freedom in thought and experimentation. They also had many schools of…

Phi Theta Kappa was founded in 1918 and is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious honor society serving two-year colleges worldwide. I was recently extended an invitation to become a member of the Alpha Xi Iota Chapter due to the time spent so far earning my associates degree and my cumulative 4.0 GPA. I had never considered joining an organization like this but after some research I think this could certainly benefit my future both professionally and personally. Phi Theta Kappa’s mission is…
