Personal Statement: Becoming A Member Of A Sorority At The University Of Charleston

I want to become a member of a sorority at the College of Charleston because of the friendships I can form and the beneficial connections and networking within the community. Throughout my life, I have been part of communities that are tight knit and they have positively impacted my life. For example, I was a member of the Dance Depot competition team for 11 years and developed many close relationships with girls I danced with. Also, I was in an organization of mothers and daughters in the Valley Forge area, called National Charity League, for 6 years that provided girls with leadership skills and qualities and provided them cultural and philanthropic experiences. Both of these communities I have formed meaningful connections and bonds with girls that I cherish and hold close

A leader is able to gain an audience’s attention because of their personality, morality, and how they hold themself. It is important for a leader to be organized, compassionate, able to compromise but also be firm on what they believe, and be a person who people look up to and aspire to be. I was part of an organization called National Charity League and this organization helped grow women’s confidence, public speaking skills, time management, and organizational skills. Each month, each class holds meetings to plan and discuss projects that follow the class’s focuses. This past year Class of 2023 philanthropic focus is children, cultural focus is international food, and for leadership we are focusing on self care and reflecting on the NCL experience. During my time in NCL I held board positions of Treasurer, VP of Philanthropy, Corresponding Secretary, and the Parliamentarian and committee positions of recognition chair and inspiration. All of these positions entailed a different skill that will continue to help me grow as a young female in the world and business
