Another beautiful people out there it’s me again so in today’s video we are going to talk about sorority life I’m going to give you some advice so do the domes and how to go about joining a sorority this so this video was supposed to be a letstalktuesday but when we post
It on a Wednesday so forgive me okay alright so out you president get in there are so many sororities in to work on me so services of so many but in this case we’re going to talk about black Greek letter organizations also known as the divine nine sororities but there are
Four sororities within the divine nine there’s Alpha Kappa Alpha Delta Sigma Theta theta phi beta in Sigma Gamma Rho so I’m a part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and I love it I always went to the aka and I feel blessed and humbled to be a
Part of such a great in the first and the finest organization in all the land I why but I love an organization and I would not have went another way my sisters one and I’ve just always been inspired by the great women of Alpha Kappa Alpha and doing research I just
Realized that it was a great fit for me so I’m glad to be a part of it and seven years later I’m still selling that house so how to join so I’m not sure about the legacy piece of other organizations but I know within Alpha Kappa Alpha if you
Are legacy which means that your mother grandmother or your legal guardian as an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha you are able to be considered legacy so the legacy application is totally different from the general application so you’ll have to make sure that you meet the requirements it doesn’t make sure that
You know they’ve been active for two years plus before you try to consider yourself legacy but this is speaking for those who are trying to enjoy a sorority and undergrad graduate I’ll explain it later pretty much through the Division of Student Affairs so I’m sure it’s probably called something up at other
Schools but at my school cause Division of Student Affairs they have a certain requirement that you have to meet in order to qualify to even go through the pond and intake process at your school but they also chapters have requirements so say for instance your school requires you to have a 2.5
But the chapter that you’re trying to be initiated into what you have a 3.0 obviously it’s better to have a 3.0 or higher just so that way you meet your chapter requirements and you’ll be good to go within the school requirement or whatever because yeah you may have a 2.5
And you may meet the requirements with school but for your chapter they’re not going to let’s take them if they want people that have high GPAs because you know at the end of school year when Awards come for high GPA you know for sorority with high GPA that self matters
You just want to make sure that you make the chapter requirements but also meet the school requirements you want to make sure that you do community service volunteer work everything before you try to join an organization because that’s pretty much what sorority life is about are all about service and everything so
If you’re not volunteering or you’re not doing community service you might as well forget about that because that’s what we’re all about service to all mankind so you want to make sure that you both hear your community service every organization has different hour requirements so you want to make sure
That you’re getting enough rope you know you want to make sure that you’re doing enough hours also just do because you love to help people like you love to serve your community like I know I grew up in a church and I was very active on you church children’s church dance everything not
Only were we active within the church but we’re active in the community needs to volunteer at the Dixie classic fair reached about their homeless shelter as we you know go around singing Christmas carols you know also like from that growing up doing it every year that kind
Of gave me that boost to want to keep you know a continue on doing that now being in the organization and grown up doing that it has really helped me to continue that so you know there’s the service I also want to make sure that when you apply that you have your
Package and your stuff all ready to go plan on trying to join a sorority in the fall you want to make sure that your stuff is together way before you even go into that semester because you have to get things signed up to have a recommendation letter you got to make sure your
Communion service is done you want to make sure that yourself is notarized by me it’s a lot I mean it’s not that hard but at the same time you want to make sure that everything is legit and top-notch because I mean it is that serious so you’re going to make sure
That you know your stuff is not rushed or just put together so just make sure that whatever semester you should want to go for it make sure that you have it done way before time and you know don’t lose anything whatever just make sure your stuff is together way ahead of time
So that way when you go to your intermediate your stuff is ready to be turned in and you’re ready to go so you should do it because you want to join us sorority for the right reasons so like I said like you know I love doing community service and everything so you
Know that’s that’s pretty much what we’re all about so I love helping people I love helping my community I love being a voice from our community and everything so I just love being a service to all mankind and I thought just fifthly so we’ll see what I’ll
Gather welcome but you know I just love just helping out my community and being very active in my community and everything and also it’s a great way to network with other women across the world like half of the women that I’ve came encounters we all never would have
Crossed paths with them it was before na a I’m in a graduate chapter in I mean those women are absolutely beautiful to educated you know wealthy everything so like just being a part of that it just makes me feel so just it makes me feel
So excited just to be a part of that and you know just their presence how nice they are and everything and have not been in a sorority I’m sure I wouldn’t have crossed paths with those women and also from my friends that I’ve met that our swords and everything you know Rick
Lies enough pay your bills or anything but you never know who might have a connection to the job that you want or the school that you want you know you just never know order man and to well you never know so me it’s just a great way to network
Connect with other women you want to make sure that you are yourself before and after because I know some people that change for the worse after they cross and I’m just like girl no you know man so you want to make sure that you’re not doing it because you’re
Trying to gain popularity or you’re trying to be somebody that you’re not or you’re trying to fit into the stereotypes I know some people then want to be a part of an organization because they want to be hard like the dulcis or they want to be uppity and stuck up like
Aks and stuff like that and you know those are stereotypes everybody’s not like that but at the same time you should want to join because that’s how you are going to be perceived like just do it because you want to make a difference or you want to continue on
The legacy that your family started you know as far as being a part of an organization like I was saying don’t do it because you want to be popular and you know you want to be up on the scene so like that because I’ve seen people
That crop that I’ve never seen in my life like I mean my campus is small but I think some people that I’ve never seen a day in my life and as soon as they cross they out in the ceiling like hey what’s up been out of that I’m like who
Are you I mean I respect other Greeks don’t get me wrong or whatever but at the same time you know don’t do because you want attention because you won’t do all up on you in your deals and stuff like that because that’s not cute and
That goes to show you you did it for the wrong reasons I also don’t do it because you want to party hop and step it’s like that yes that stuff is fun I used to love stepping I used to love party-hopping and everything is fine that’s a part of the underground life
But don’t do that don’t do it because you won’t and that’s all you want to do is just party hop you be at all the parties and all the club events but you don’t be at the programs it’s like that so it’s like come on now
People priorities so don’t do it shop so don’t make it know that you were me a part of organization because I know some people doing yeah I want to be in Delta got want to be in Veda and they looking at you like so that’s not gonna get you
In so you know if you are very very interested or you are fascinated with organizations or your campus just keep it on the hush-hush and just do your research google is your friend I’m sure there are things out there that all you need to do is
Google it and you will find it and you know don’t kiss but don’t need to always be up under them it’s like that don’t shoulder my hacking with this step for you guys and everything you’re not hard to organization just just don’t do it you know don’t kiss but just be humble
Stay low stay discreet and you know just let things flow and happen naturally so don’t lose your soul for it I know it’s like I’m what you need because I know a lot of people that aren’t Greek have this misconception that Greek sell their souls to that stuff whatever and I’m
Like no but I love some jeans this or whatever in the end the day like I said Greek life did not pay your bills they’re not going to get you a branding car is not going to is not a life-or-death situation your organization that started years ago and
It’s just a continuing legacy of the founders who work so hard to initial you know to bring forth these great opportunities to help the community and everything and to form sisterhood all over the world and everything so you know it’s a good thing and then you know
People will get in like a tragic thing and everything so you know just don’t like so you soul to light I know so people they have to wear nail you all the time because they want people to know that they’re green and stuff like that and then we go sort of how there’s
Like everything is there color and everything I’m just life and I say anything is wrong with that at all whatsoever but like I said the way that people have this misconception about people who sell their soul or worshipping their organization you know everybody’s not like that and trust me
They’re probably less people that sell their souls or worship the organization than people that don’t even put something earlier about the undergrad and graduate situation so that was specifically for undergrads I know a lot of people start off their sorority life in undergrad but then you have those who
Don’t have that chance opportunity in undergrad because if this chapter was suspended or something happened on their line so you know whatever the case is and they want to join read chapters read chapter is a different process than undergrad so graduate chapter you have to be invited
So somebody has to somebody that’s an active member of a graduate chapter has to invite you in you have to of course make your comments and everything is you know everything you go for with the process and then you are initiated as a member and other people worry like I’m
Up to oh and on soon-young whatever you are never too old to become a member of sorts you trust and believe me I mean I’ve seen people that were 50 and across undergrad you know everybody’s journey and life is different but if you are accept to cross an organization of
You’re part of organization you should not let your age stop you from accomplishing your dream so you’re never too old and like I said long as you meet the requirement you get through your process and you become a member of whatever source you want to
Become part of then you are good to go so yeah all of that was just a general basics of how to join an organization how to go about and what to do what not to do and everything but like I said everybody’s process is different so that
So once you get your stuff together and once you go to your interest meeting and you get in what happens after that it is totally beyond your control it’s totally beyond anybody’s control as long as you stick it through and you really really want what you want you will make
It through and you’ll be prepped alright so you have any more questions let me know down below and I’ll be sure to answer that but like I said do your research heavy stuff done on time do it for the right reasons and enjoy it you know it’s
A lifetime commitment you may not be active on your life but once you have those letters you are unless you denounce it you are member for life you know life happens and enough people don’t become active after undergrad which is fine you know like I say everybody’s life journey
Is different but you know you want to continue on if you can and if it works on your favor just make sure that you’re still active closed undergrad because like I say you just never know who you might come in connection with and you want to continue on that service to
Mankind or you want to see one that service for as long as you can and everything so me this would be my so this year would be my fifth year of being a part of my graduate chapter so I did two years so I’m active two years in undergrad and
Now I’ve been acting for five going to five years this year in my graduate chapter so I feel good and you know hopefully one day I could be oh so sorry you know a lot of it is as long as the membership fees don’t keep going up you
Know that it is alright so that is all for today guys leave me some questions down below if you have any or using an email blog this last day and all I cannot cover everything but I didn’t you can add somebody else or google it like
