All right so what do you need to know about joining fatter natee sororities organizations or what have you on campus so I myself I joined two organizations while I was on campus I’m also a part of a fraternity and I got better along the way joining and learning about different
Things but there’s some things that I would be able to tell you today in order to help you when you try to make that decision I could do a whole other video to tell you what you should do once you get in and how you can contribute but
This video is just what do you need to do before join the one and how do you choosing different things that are nature so for myself the first thing I joined was a organization on campus called Nesby which is the National Society of black engineers that didn’t
Know what I was doing is pretty much going into my sophomore year and I kind of just jumped in not really understanding or knowing it was just a recommendation based off of faculty within my department so I just saw it jumped in happened to work out for me
Because I got some experience I got you know basically an intern internship out of it and it was helping me build my resume which I didn’t even know at the time but I joined that then I got a little bit better joined another organization called the men of new order
Which was a freshman male mentoring organization on campus so before I did that it was kind of funny me and my friend were just trying to figure out what organization should we join because you know Nesby was more like an academic thing so we shot figure out what
Organizations we should join and pretty much we joined the first organization that we really found out about but we know about some other organizations on campus you know through different forums activities and different things that nature but for no water we knew some people in the organization and we found
Out that there’s having an interest me in so we’ll be able to go to learn more about them so we decided to go what they said sounded good so we said sign sign us up and we became a part of the organization but I began it was a great journey after that
And you know I decided to continue that that that journey of mentoring and different things and you know even up until this day and for all my fraternity there’s actually a great honor for me to join a Phi Beta Sigma because I actually had one of my new water brothers who was
A part of Sigma and you know he said he saw something in me and I should look into 5-bit of Sigma Nu crazy part was I knew some people already that was part of the organization it was cool you know looked out for me different things like
That and you know but he was definitely one of the major influences so when he asked me and he didn’t ask everybody but when he asked me to join I thought that was you know that’s very commendable so I decided to go ahead and pursue it and
You know become a member and I was fortunate enough to be chosen so but for that I did a little bit more research before before I jumped in and decided to make that decision so alright why am I even saying all this the reason I just went through how I joined the
Organization is because I want you to make a better decision when it comes to really knowing what you want to do beforehand like I’m glad I joined everything and I’m very happy but you know I had to learn as I went along more about doing research and more about the
Character of people and the people in the organization that uh that I joined as our when along so I got better but this was my gift to you during this video which is the whole point is really what do you need to do beforehand so
That’s what I want to get you out that’s what I want you to get out of it so really first my first piece of our first visit of advice I would say would be to make sure that the mission aligns with what you want to do you know if you like
The violence here you find some organizations fraternities uber that’s big and a volunteer and some for some organizations they do volunteering and it’s more and different types of areas some like to do more on on mentorship or more scholarship or different things like that so make sure that they
Aligned with your values in your mission if they do that that’s good that’s just square one the next piece of advice that I would say would definitely be making sure that you like the people that’s in the organization why because when you join those going to be the people that you’re
Going to be around so you want to make sure that you like them because you’re going to have to be around the more you’re going to be doing activities and things with them so they’re there I want you to never forget that those are the people that is the walking billboards
You might join you might be interested in Italy in an organization because of what they what they stand for what the mission is but you’re ultimately going to make that final decision based off the people that you’ve spoken or the people that’s walking around on campus wearing the letters or you know wearing
A brand organization you know organization of a brand on this shirt so that’s what that’s what’s really going to put you over the edge but I also say to another piece of advice is make sure that before you do anything do your due diligence that did that chapter is
Actually active on campus because you the worst thing you can do is join something and then not even be active in it you know especially if they got a negative reputation or what-have-you you don’t you want them to make sure that you know that they active and they’re doing things and they’re giving
Back to the community then plus that’s the whole reason why you’re joined right that’s part of the reason why you join you want to get back you want to do things so make sure that they active a lot of people transfer to go to different organizations or they go to
You know they do they transfer different chapters if you’re talking about arms for surgery and sororities they might go to different areas so that’s that’s a lot that’s a real possibility for a lot of people so just make sure that that you’re doing that do due diligence on
Your behalf but really what you can what you can really do is do your research beforehand talk to people that’s in in outside of the organization see get a feel for how people feel about being inside the organization things that they do talk about people outside they’ll talk to people outside the organization
So you can really see what the persona is you get to really understand how other people perceive the organization go to the different Vince I’m kind of just stolen you know different things out but keep these things in mind go to the different events that they’re doing see if you can
Really see yourself doing some of these events and you know go to the interest me because that’s where they more formally going to kind of tell you some of the things that they’re doing here be able to get get your questions answered there so this was just kinda like a
Random video I wanted to put together but you know I’ve seen some people who you know it was it was interested in different things and I’ve been receiving some questions and you know bringing some things online so this was this was something I came to mine but follow the
Follow this advice and you’ll be happy with the decision that you made with the organization fraternity or sorority that you’re about to join alright so I’m done if you like what you heard today you know pass this on to someone else share it comment subscribe all that good stuff
The more you do that the more I feel encouraged that really helped people but I mean I’m really doing anyway but I but it helped me you know if you spread the message more right so I appreciate that I until next time just make sure that you continue to give
Back if you already graduated and you know you you’ve made it to that to that pinnacle in the wolf you’re going through the process now could see even learn and I’m always gonna have some stuff for you right so next time
