Programs, recognition, and ongoing support help our members achieve academic success. As college students, academics is our first priority. Although Texas State University has a minimum 2. Students are provided resources and hold each other accountable to succeed academically.
Community Impact and Service At the core of our organizations lies a commitment to civic engagement and social action, with an emphasis on the Black community. Through community service and philanthropic efforts, our members are able to make a difference in their surrounding communities and world. Bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are formed within the organization and provide our members with a home away from home, mentorship, career networking, and a sense of community at a large university.
Networking Joining a sorority or fraternity is not only beneficial to you while you're in college, it can also help you once you graduate. All of our organizations as NPHC have alumni chapters in different cities across the country and all over the world. It's a great way to meet people if you're moving to a new city, but it can also be a place to turn for career advice or guidance. These organizations provide a space for students to have formalized leaderships positions.
This is not the electric slide at your cousins wedding. Stroll lines circle around the dance floor and move through the crowd of dancers. A general rule of thumb is that if you see one coming, you move. They will not stop for you and you WILL get run over. It does not matter if you are looking cute with your friends or a giant incoming freshman football player who is physically larger that everybody in the stroll line.
It is a rule that like you would not stand in front of an oncoming train, you should not stand in front of an oncoming stroll line. If you get pushed out of the way by one do not think they are trying to fight you, they are just trying to dance and you are in the way. Most important of all never try to walk between a line of people strolling.
First thing is first, you cannot join a black fraternity your freshman semester. They could not even take you if they wanted to, you have to have grades first. When you first arrive on campus you might see an org you want to join because you like how they look, step and stroll but you should remember that these are brotherhoods and sisterhoods.
Committing yourself to try to join a certain sorority or fraternity based on their appearance is like trying to bet on who will win the Super Bowl by how their uniforms look or trying to pick the winner of a boxing match by the color of gloves they wear. It does not work like that. The first thing you should do when you get to college is be observant of the fraternities and sororities. Watch them and see how they interact with each other, find out how active they are on campus and attend their events, try to find out how much mentorship these members are receiving from graduate members in their org.
Not all chapters are the same and some chapters, although they look like they would be fun to show up to a party with, look good on the outside but are messy, lack leadership, and are in general turmoil on the inside. Try to figure out which chapter is the best for you by meeting the members, talking to them and learning what they do. If all goes well, you will become a part of their family.
You really do not want to make the wrong choice and join the wrong family. I the writer of this article, have been given the final vote on choosing who was allowed to join my org, as the president of my undergrad chapter. One thing that I would always do was make sure that anyone who wanted to join my org had also hung out with and attended the events of other orgs on campus. I knew that my org was the best fit for me and my brothers, but I also understood that not everyone fits every org.
Sometimes people think they want to join your org but have not done their research to find out if other orgs are the right fit for them. While looking at an org on a campus level is very important, it is also important to look into what the org is doing right now on a state and national level. Some chapters are a certain way on your campus but might be totally different in other states and it is important to know what you are getting into because you will be in this org for the rest of your life.
