Truly understand what you are saying

I want to know this so that when I do go out to pledge I can show that I am more than serious about being an Alpha, I want to show that I am 100% dedicated to the cause and am willing to go the extra 100 miles to join it. TODD40

I too appreciate your interest... Much of what it takes to be an Alphaman is more in careful thought, effort, deed and ACTIONS... not in intentions or desire... The fact that much of our success comes from our actions:

-pursuit of academic achievement and the mentorship of others;
-dedication to the betterment of campus and community;
-respect for self and those around us;
-strong, diverse background as a foundation for our careers;
-provision of a secure and stable homelife for our families...

These are what make a strong member of this organization...and others as well!


Even though I'm told that I look like a kappa, ... Can't live your life on how you are perceived... YOU must be comfortable and confident with who you ARE! Are you a Scholar, and is your activity in the classroom displayed in your grade reports? Are you a Investor, putting work in your campus and community as a volunteer for those in need? Are you a Leader, and are the organizations you belong to or volunteer for provide a true reflection? As one who reviews applications for membership... these are the "documented indicators" which provides assistance with assessment.


The part about "willing to go the extra 100 miles to join it" I hope is a metaphor... We frown on negative steps in any fashion, regardless of reason. The work begins AFTER membership is attained and is a LIFELONG COMMITMENT...not convenient accessory when socially or professionally acceptable. Many profess the same words you provided...many turned desire into positive action...and some satisfied their lust but failed or forgot to provide investment

Godspeed in your aspirations...

The Return of N4SIR5
