Hey, homie. I wanted to respond because I think you would find my particular experiance intrigueing, since I am African American who joined the largest Latino-based Multicultural Organization in the nation - Sigma Lambda Beta. The formalities - my chapter website -www.sigmalambdabeta.com/zetabeta and the national website is
www.sigmalambdabeta.com.
Overall, my experiance has been great. I crossed a little over a year a go and in that first year I accomplished a ton of things. I went from revamping a chair position (campus involvement) and doing things with it that has never been to becoming a highly important chair (community service) and leading my chapter to having done the most community service in our council. I finally have arrived at being the second inline from the top (External Vice President), maybe, hopefully, the next president of my chapter. That is just fraternity-wise...On my council I have been one of the most outspoken members especially in dealings with the issue of expansion. At UF, our coucil seemed to have an air of eliteness that was unfounded and a couple of groups (Theta Nu Xi and Pi Delta Psi) had trouble getting on here - I spoke out for them when they couldn't speak for obvious reasons, but I take no credit for their arrival, it was all them. I am now the Executive Vice President of the council and I look the make the changes necessary. OK OK OK ENOUGH ABOUT THAT....THE PARTIES ARE BANANAS! And last but not least - self-improvement...my experiance has brought me to higher level. I am doing better in school (once the dust settle from my early months as brother, IT IS HARD FOR NEO, AM I LYING MY FELLOW GREEKS?) I am getting better physically, mentally, and spiritally. I wear my letters proud, but they did not make me. The made me better.
Like we say here at the Revolutionary Seta Beta Chapter at University of Florida....The true essence of a Beta man isn't perfection...but the desire to attain it.
BUT WE ALL SO SAY ( AND THIS IS FOR ALL GREEKS)....REP YOU SH!T OR GIVE IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!
