Click on the "Quick Links" tab, scroll to "Edit Signature". Open Microsoft Word type your letters onto the document (by using the Insert Symbol Command), highlight them, type CTRL+C, go back to the edit signature field on GC and type CTRL+V.

I did and was accepted! I am attending Duquesne University (Online) for my Masters of Science in Community Leadership. My involvement with Beta Sigma Phi (before I was initiated into Alpha Sigma Alpha) was viewed as positive leadership expierence. As others have mentioned, it needs to be relevant to the admissions process and positive!
Hope this helps!

OOPs on stealing tests before hand, I know!

It never hurts to be Proud of Your Greek Affiliation, you never know who might be a Greek!

If anyone remembers, that there a a lot of the Major CEOs of Fortune 500's who are Greeks, and most of the Presidents of The USA!

But, We are a bad influence on Americas Young!

The professors like the Greek Syster here. They are always willing to help out with the philanthropy events(being judges and such). Although most of my professors look amazed when I walk into class with letters on because I think I'm 1 of 2 sorority girls in the whole engineering college.

And as for the test files.....My professors have stop giving back test because the engineering students have their own files and always help out there friends(and also the solutions manuels can found by asking some one that has taken the class before hand)....They have never mentioned Greeks as a reason not to give back the test.

It really depends on the school and the reputation that the greeks have at that particular school. Some of it is positive and other times it is negative. I have no clue how it is in San Diego State but really ask people at that university they have a better idea.

As for putting that you are greek on a grad school application, if it is relevant to your program or if you have done something substantial during your time in a fraternity (i.e took leadership positions, philanthropy). Other than that, I heard that it is seen negative, but really don't put it on there for sake of filling your application up.

For the most part, I dont think professors have an opinion either way.

What is funny, if and I say if, a GLO has a test bank, it is for a reason to help on tests. If a Prof is to lazy to change his tests around, so be it.

But, in any class, there can be a multitude of questions, many being the same from old tests. It is still a learning process by the student isnt it?

If a student cannot learn out of book about the subject, then, how much will they learn from just reading test questions and have no comprehension?

Some Academians have huge egos or after tenure are just plain bored and need a new profession.

i've noticed that a lot of my professors are either completely neutral or react positively, asking about events and never hesitating to let us announce programming and things.

i guess greeks have a polarizing power-- some love us and some hate us, depending on where they get their information from.
