Recently this Thursday, I attended a DSP (Delta Sigma Pi) general interest meeting. DSP is a fraternity that’s all about business and other fields related in that category. With my major being business management, I was interested in this fraternity because it can offer me more connections in the field I want to pursue. I walked into the event room on the 9th floor and everything was really welcoming. I really didn’t know what to expect about this fraternity.
Once I walked into the room, I was welcoming with a big smile of a person and a nice firm handshake. Next the people of the fraternity had a table with a whole bunch of food and they were all offering us free food. Free food was such a bonus because who doesn’t love free food? Especially if it’s good food. The atmosphere was kind of awkward at first because I didn’t really know anybody and I am usually not the person to make conversation. However, the fraternity people were very good at making sure everybody was talking to each other and asking us about what we thought about college and stuff. They were talking to me as if I knew them all throughout high school or something and I didn’t really mind that.
The event on 9/14/17 was Community Service Day. All of us made peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for the homeless. The experience was one to remember. I felt really comfortable in talking to people and meeting new people. Additionally, I knew that we were making sandwiches for a good cause. It felt good meeting new people and stepping out of my bubble for once.
