How do fraternities help members in their careers?
Being a part of my fraternity has helped me tremendously in my professional growth. I came into college as a kid with some talent and ambition but with no direction for that ambition. When I joined my fraternity, I began taking up leadership roles within. Some of these roles required so much time commitment and work that they resembled an equivalent to a real job.Fast forward a year of me being in my fraternity and I had been pledge class president and had a semester of experience as treasurer, I was able to apply to a highly selective leadership program in the business school and be selected because of my ability to speak on that experience . Had I not had that, I would not have been able to partake one of the most impactful experiences of my life, besides my fraternity. Fast forward to today, I am graduating this December, I have had 3 different internships which I would not have landed if it were not for the communication, leadership and organizational skills I learned in my fraternity and leadership programs. I am not worried about finding a job, because I am confident in the capabilities I have developed, I have fostered a great professional network, oh and I have 200,000 brothers (some are dead but you get the point) I can reach out to in my search.
I need advice (love related) please help?
well darling, I'm afraid I had your problem when I was your age...I was always attracted to the older guys. If you were 18 there would be nothing wrong with being into this guy who is at leasy 6 years older than you... but right now it isn't smart. If he's any sort of decent fellow he WON'T go out with you because he'll know he's too old for you right now, and he won't want to steal your innocence or break your heart or cause your parents to freak out or get himself in trouble. Right now it's best to be friends with guys that age, sure you're going to be attracted to them as I was but realize it just something you need to wait for. Why not a 17 year old for now? and yes, you're very pretty.
Fraternity rushing some advice please?
So I attend a rather large sized university, and I am currently a first year (will be a second year next year). I was, and still am strongly interested in joining a fraternity. I joined one my fall quarter, in which due to personal reasons, resulted in my de-pledging. In the process at the time I had a bid gotten at another fraternity, and which pledging the other house caused me to turn down a bid at this house. I rushed again in spring at the house whose bid I turned down, because I truly liked a lot of the brothers of the house. However, I am not sure if they took my declining of their bid in fall personally (I really think they may have), but I received no bid there when given the impression that I was going to get one by friends in the house. I rushed one other house, which I later found out from a friend in the house that one individual who I thought was on friendly terms with literally went to the bid chair as soon as he heard I was getting a bid (the rest of the house liked me) and said something that held up the house for about an hour past official rush was over, to no avail, and causing me to get no bid. There are several fraternities on my campus, however there are only a few that I truly feel as if I'd belong in. All of these I have rushed before, once, and sometimes twice. If I rush again in fall of next year, how would that look? Desperate? Determined? I really am not sure. Please help give me some advice on next year

on no account. from time to time undesirable issues can ensue, yet they could ensue everywhere to everybody even with in the event that they're in a frat or no longer. most of the time it is not something like what you notice in Lifetime video clips. of direction, in uncommon activities issues like that DO ensue (the action picture "Haze" is predicated off a real experience that got here approximately at my unviersity), besides the shown fact that it isn't as difficulty-free as what Lifetime will make you suspect. have you ever seen the tutor Greek? perhaps integrate that with various the Lifetime video clips and then upload a heavy dose of fact. no longer each and all of the Greek gadget is merely events, there are additionally academic and volunteer-based ones besides. sure. many times you will rush no longer long after the school year starts. the terrific element you're able to do is be your self when you consider that's finally what they're finding for: you. they do no longer desire somebody who pretends to be somebody one nighttime yet then you definately locate out later they're an totally distinctive individual.
Need help and advice with my sorority?
I am currently a junior right now and I was initiated as a member at one of the sorority in my college in spring 2011. I didn't really like it but decided to give it a try. I've been in my sorority for 2 semester now and I still don't see any change. It's very time consuming and all my friends told me to quit because I complain to them a lot about my sorority. Recruitment is gonna start next week also and I have to go back this week for practice and I really don't want to go. Honestly, the only reason I am staying right now is because of alumni status when I graduate. I'm so confused right now and don't know what I should do. Should I quit or stay?
Can someone help me with relationship/breakup advice?
Hey friend! Is there something specific you’re looking for advice on? I’m certainly not a relationship expert but I would be happy to listen to whatever you’re going through and try to help you process it. If you’re looking for general advice I would say the most important thing I have learned in dating and break ups is never to lose yourself. A significant other can complement you but they can’t complete you. You are important, valuable and full of potential all on your own. You don’t need someone else to make you worthy. You’re already so incredible all on your own. Remembering this and taking it to heart has really helped me to have healthier relationships and not to fall completely apart if they end. I hope you can do the same!If you want to learn even more about relationships I would encourage you to check out this site. It has great resources for young adults who are single, dating or in the midst of a break up. It has been really helpful to me and helped me walk though different seasons. I hope it can help you too. I wish you the best!
Are sororities/fraternities demonic??
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awNOJ Well first of all your question is a misquote. He says that homosexuality leads to demonic possession, not that it is "caused' by it. That's a big difference. Secondly, yes I believe it. Just because you don't believe in God, Satan or sin, does not mean they are not real. It only means you reject them. As our society continues to degrade itself and wallow and bathe in immoral behavior, we (collectively) head down the slippery slope towards hell. This is not "intolerant" just the statement of a fact. You are welcome to your opinion. As Christians we are well aware of your arrogant beliefs that you are superior in knowledge and realism, and those of us who believe in God are weak and in need of a higher being to cling to. But your delusional opinions have no bearing on truth or reality, thankfully. FYI _ Fr. Davies is an Oxford graduate who is also a qualified physician. ADDED: A "contagious demonic factor" is not demonic possession. According to Father Amorth (the Vatican Exorcist) demons are with us all the time. They can influence us and seek to lead us to damnation. That is their purpose. He means by contagious demonic factor that as society presses for acceptance of immorality, the demonic factors behind this type of push is contagious, and we are all to ready to embrace it...and most of us don't even know why. ADDED: The article doesn't say it causes demonic possession either, it says it can "lead" to it. Please read people.
What is a money-related advice you would give to a 16-year-old that is starting his freshman year in a university?
Now is a great time to read, and not just read about your course, but read about finance, travel and other things. Grades don't matter that much until you graduate. If you fill your ind with knowledge in 1st year, getting better grades will become easier anyway.In terms of obvious financial advise, I would say:Don’t get into debt at collegeJust work hard so you can get a human middle class or high paying jobLearn the academic evidence about investing and finance even if you find it boring. It will literally save you a fortunate, and make you a fortunate. Not instantly, but just following the evidence, and not the marketeers who try to convince you of x and y. You really can be financially free in your 30s if you follow some simple academic evidence on these matters - 6 Steps to Financial FreedomYou don't need to start investing now, but if you do get a part-time job and can even invest $20 a week, that will become a lot of money in time, due to the compounding effect. Then once you are in your 20s, you can further compound, once you have a real job.
How necessary are fraternities for business careers?
No, it is not important, and no, it is not necessary. Fraternities are just one of many methods for meeting new people, improving your social skills, and participating in group events (sports, volunteering, parties, etc). Nothing wrong with that. But there's a gazillion other ways to achieve the same ends without joining a frat or sorority. They also can be very distracting, if you're not careful about managing your time. There's no reason anybody should treat fraternity membership as obligatory for, well, anything. If you're interested in joining, just think through the pros and cons of doing so, and act accordingly.Reading your question details, it doesn't seem like your friends are suggesting that joining a fraternity is necessary or important, but merely that it could be helpful. Which is probably true. But that doesn't mean you have to do it if you don't want to.
Tips for fraternity rush?
There is no reason not to rush. Rushing is about giving potential Greek members a view of greek life. It is also to give you an idea of which fraternities you would fit in best. The worst thing that can happen from rush is you don't go Greek. My advice is to ask around and see what people say about certain fraternities. Figure out which fraternities interest you and rush them all. Try to talk to as many brothers as you can and ask them many questions. If you get a bid from a fraternity, decide to pledge, and then you don't like it, you can quit. A lot of people think that becoming a pledge means you can't get out of it. As for anyone who is gonna say fraternities haze, you need to get your facts straight. While there are still incidents of hazing here and there, most chapters of most fraternities do not haze. If you pledge a fraternity which hazes and you don't like it then quit. Just keep an open mind and try to see what fraternity matches you best.
