Lady Lele back with another video you axed your email you DM yeah axe again your email you DM your instant message yeah ex again so I am back with the video how to pursue membership into a fatality or sorority at the graduate level revised revisited restructured redone okay before we get started
Disclaimer these are my views and opinions and not reflective of the following of any paternity or sorority of the National pan-hellenic Council any fraternity of the Interfraternity Council any sorority of the Panhellenic Council any organization of the multicultural Greek Council now we got the formalities out the way we’re gonna
Move forward shall we so there are six tips to keep in mind six number one do your research most organizations have a website on these websites you can find a following organization history national targets programs initiatives chapter locations x yourself the following would you want to be in a large chapter when
We say large large could be sitting there anywhere from 100 to 500 or what you want to be in a small chapter something under fifty depends on where you live you would not have a choice because there may be only one chapter of the particular organization in your area so you
Definitely want to take a look most most Oryx got websites there’s been some orcs that’s been created most recently they got websites stuff posted on Facebook pick your poison let the chips fall where they may so definitely go on the website of the particular organization look up the
Information get what you need move forward you want to also look and see if there’s any books or materials out there related to you know the particulars or ghen ization you are interested in so look and see if there’s any literary works for those that are looking to join an african-american fraternity or
Sorority I would recommend the book the history of african-american returnees attorneys and sororities by Lawrence Ross this book’s breaks down the down the divine nine organizations brief history and even talk about celebrities who are members of these organizations that’s that book tends to help people make that final call as to what they
Want to do I read it I got a lot from it and it aided me in making my decision some people ask can I look into a variety of different organizations you can breathe you can research I would not recommend that you go to several different organizations events words
Tend to split its word tend to spread and it’s just not looked upon highly when you’re wishy-washy on what you want to do however I do believe there is a divine order it something you know just something that just really would connect people to that one organization whether that be you
Know something that organization did or a mentor someone they looked up to in terms of being a member of that organization I think you just know when you know I know for me personally I know s youngest sixth grade I knew what I wanted to do I went off to college I
Didn’t have to guess I didn’t have to wonder I didn’t have to research and I was told to check out all organizations and I read and researched but you know I had my mind made up when I done so so when I went off to college I didn’t have
To you know figure it out because some people that’s their first taste of Greek life so they don’t know but I was one of the you know ones they actually know so we don’t move on to number two be discreet the rapid little range said it
And I agree real G’s move in silence like lasagna don’t be quick to reveal to an organization of your interests don’t go to the organizations invent and tell everyone in the building get to know people that belongs to that organization and get into a place of comfort and then
Have a conversation don’t just shoot off at the mouth there is a time place and protocol for everything some organizations would have informational what invitation to allow you to get to know that or that’s the appropriate time to go to inquire to ask questions not a social event
9 times I attend people trying to be social at the social event they’re not trying to recruit people per se they want to take in whatever activity is going on and be done with it so don’t go to events trying to recruit yourself don’t Oh some people may seek you out
And actually what you be interested in pursuing membership that can happen too but please don’t put yourself out there bogus Thai place protocol for everything don’t don’t cold make cold calls do not call an organisation’s office do not contact random chapters of the organizations don’t send coal emails all right on
People’s website kiss books nine times out of ten they was someone would see it and they would not respond or if they do respond they gotta tell you what guess refer back to the organization’s website hmm or simply they may just not respond so yeah if you have a family member
Friend co-worker close confidant that is a different situation and that would be a different conversation you know so it might make the conversation process a little bit easier because trust and belief people of various organizations are always getting to inquire these always having random strangers come up to them and ask them
Questions so you definitely if you got somebody connected you know go through that Avenue and move forth and prosper also once you reached out to these connections in these people’s find out if they’re active there’s a lot of people out making promises to people and they are not connected nor active to an
Organization or to that specific organization so you may have people that’s been detached for 10 years can they really help you maybe maybe not but that’s important though because sometimes if there’s not they’re not actively engaged there’s no connection number three attend events this is the
Best way to get yourself introduced to a particular organization a particular chapter a lot of works have you know both you know events for the general public they can be community service family related events they can be civic events they could be social things so more formal events you know buy a ticket
Because ninety ten is a fundraiser it’s going to a scholarship so you’re already supporting a good cause people tend to remember people who are you know regularly supporting they don’t forget that they don’t forget the people that’s helping to meet goals and targets and things so people will remember you if you do
In events on a cake on a regular occasion and you introduce yourself and you start making connections keep that in mind support attend buy a ticket they will remember you trust me they will number four are you on point a lot of organizations got a lot of people doing
Some great astounding things anywhere from educators politicians celebrities a lot of the orcs got it all so ask yourself the question what are you doing and what would you bring to the particular organization what Civic or community organizations do you belong to Church non-for-profits what do you belong to what talents can’t
You bring to a particular organization so yeah also they tend to want people that’s about something most oryx want somebody is productive connected somebody who’s doing some awesome things some some people that’s doing things that can network and catapult the particular organization into something so yeah ask yourself are you on point me
Personally I was involved with a lot in my undergraduate my graduate and postgraduate I was on a lot of different organizations committees held leadership positions won awards so when my time came you know it was an issue GPA usually most organizations have a GPA requirement
It can vary I can’t say what they are cuz I don’t know what they are but they can vary so usually most orcs have a GPA requirement keep this in mind whatever GPA you left when you left school it’s the same GPA now so if you haven’t went
And got a second bachelor’s or got a master’s or any advanced degrees that GPA you still there if your GPA is not up to par based on the organization you want to join you may have to go back to school you get to GPA up because a lot
Of organizations when it comes to GPAs and grade point average it’s a no-go that is non-negotiable it’s not gonna bend the rules things are not going to change so you definitely want to make sure you’re on point from the academics now some people said you know what if
The school closed or the school is no longer you know this is switch to a change with merge you would need to refer to leadership of the particular organization accidental how to handle that and keep in mind Community Service good grades are a plus number five save your money
Don’t be alone it is not cheap prices for orgs can vary they can range anywhere from a hundred dollars it can possibly be up to $4,000 depending on the situation depending on the ward is not cheap you want to be saving your money because when the time
Comes you know what the Bible said be also ready you know not today your time frame to turn in money so be quiet membership may be short so it’s not the time to go rob Peter to pay Paul you don’t want to take money out your household budget you don’t want your
Kids money out your wife your husband you your boob thing your kids mouth you want to have it saved in the spot that you don’t miss a beat from your life living expenses and you can keep on going so don’t be alarmed I had the foot of the privilege to save
I would say that I saved I played it smart I saved so when the time arrived I was ready so yeah number six and I believe this is the last point be patient I’m gonna say that again be patient most organizations are not bringing in new members on a consistent frequent basis
Some are and that’s great but then there’s a lot not you have some that may have you holding out waiting for years years I’ve come across the percent a way two years before the opportunity has come so be patient what do you do in the meantime continue to support the
Particular org continue to support a particular chapter and be patient you know if it’s meant to be it what happened but one thing I do not encourage is that you get discouraged and try to go join another organization because you feel like the desire one is
Taken too long so I have witness that I have seen that so you just want to be positive you want to support you want to continue to make your connections you want to do all the other stuff that I mentioned you want to be a humane and
OnPoint you want to be discreet you want to continue to research so when the time is afford it to you you’ll be ready so I’m going to go back over the tips one more time number one do your research number two be discreet number three support events number four
Make sure you are on point number five save your money and number six be patient so that is it that is all brought it back people have asked me if you could give me a time to be transparent I was asked to take the original video of town out of respect I
Was told that there was a lot of information mentioned and out of respect for organizations out of respect for leadership’s my recent just just I took it down so I did I took it down so a lot of people didn’t agree some people felt it was
Necessary so I did what I have to do so I was advised on moving forward of how I could represent the video and be appropriate so just took me a long time to get it together because I bet but just wanted to leave it alone and just
Move forward but just the outpour of people who wanted to information it was just huge which I’m grateful but a lot of people who did witness the old video said you know they appreciate it it helped them it got them to the ward they wanted to belong to and
I’ve got a lot of praise for although I had ridicule from it I had a lot of praise from it so I felt like I did owe something back to you know the people and actually in reality my views went down from it like my views went down when I took it
Off that video did bring a lot of traffic to my page my channel and when I took it out I’ve seen the decline in views so um I been fighting my way back to get traffic back so I felt I was at a place now to do that so I hope that this
Answered this fulfill people’s interests and you know enquiries if you definitely want to if you have additional questions definitely you can email me with the Tom prefer to offline but I just wanted to make sure that I was in line you know moving forward and doing what was right
So that is it that is all like comment subscribe stay tuned for more videos peace out
