Personal Narrative: Joining The Sisterhood Of Kappa Gamma

358 Words2 Pages

Joining the sisterhood of Kappa Kappa Gamma has enhanced my life in many ways. Throughout the past year, I not only met the friends that will be with me for the rest of my life, but met the people I call family. Every member of this sisterhood has encouraged me to be a better version of myself. In particular, this past semester, living in the chapter house and being surrounded by this amazing family throughout most of my day has increased by GPA, improved my mental and physical health, and decreased the stress that comes with being in college. With that said, as a child of a single parent with inconsistent child support, my financial position, as well as my family structure, has been rather unstable. Two years ago, when I chose to attend Syracuse University, my father contacted me and offered to pay for my tuition. However, since the decision to become a part of Kappa Kappa Gamma was solely my own, I have paid for my dues, room and board independently by working over the summer. This has allowed me to both obtain a great education and be a part of an amazing sisterhood. …show more content…

While this has been a major setback, I value my education and this sisterhood more than anything and am determined to make sacrifices in order to continue to have those two things in my life. As a result, within the last three weeks I have applied for over $40,000 in scholarships, which required me to write around 20 separate essays. Despite my efforts, it is unlikely that I will be awarded all those scholarships and I hope the Beta Tau chapter can assist me. I have received support from this chapter in so many different ways within the past year, and I hope that once I graduate and attain my career goals, I am able to give back all that this place has provided me. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship. Regards, Ana

One other main reason why I have a desire to become a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is because I want to have positive impact on the community around me, whether it be Temple University’s community or the general Philadelphia area. It would bring me great joy to be a part of an Alpha Phi Alpha project that would include reaching out to the youth of Philadelphia.
