An extracurricular activity I have the honor of being a part of is Upward Bound. A TRIO organization that prepared me for college and opened up many doors for me.

    Of my many volunteer and paid extra-curricular activities, the most important to me is the National Art Honor Society, which extends artistic activities to my community. We organize two school events: the Festival of Trees and the Talent Competition. The Festival of Trees is an event when every school club can choose to donate and decorate a tree that we set up. All of the money raised goes to an organization of our choice. For the last 4 years, we have donated to Street Grace, which benefits the fight against human trafficking, especially in the Metro Atlanta area.

  • Personal Narrative: My Sorority

    383 Words  | 2 Pages

    Outside of my sorority, I am involved in a few different things. I am a Peer Adviser, which has taught me so much about how to make the Northwestern community welcoming, as well as how to discuss difficult topics such as sexual assault and mental health. Helping students work through these sensitive issues and helping them find the resources they need all while navigating the novelty of college life has given me a wide variety of skills that I believe translate directly to sorority life. I also am highly involved in Northwestern’s dance community. I am a member of New Movement Project, a group of dance majors and minors that coordinates dance events and organization for both the dance department and Northwestern’s many dance groups.

    I kept telling myself that it would be too much during my first semester at college, and I should just wait until I get adjusted to college life. However, one organization stuck out to me at the fair. The organization was Epsilon Sigma Alpha, a community service sorority. In high school, I enjoyed doing community service, but I only ever did it in high school because it was required. I was hesitant about attending the interest meeting for the organization because the word “sorority” formed the idea of a typical social sorority in my head, but I attended the interest meeting anyways.
