Walking into a business frat at Baruch was as bit as surprising as I had thought it’d be. They welcomed us with chicken wings, legs, and thighs from the local popeyes and you could already smell it from down the hall. When business frat pops up into my mind, I think of tall people with suits and ties looking very stern and people without a sense of humor. What I found were lots of people who shared laughs and a huge diversity of people. Although during the day of the meeting I had to leave early because of my freshmen seminar class, I met some very nice people. The reason I am interested in joining a business frat is because of the connections. Having connections for free food, drinks, and other small things are nice, but when you are trying to look for internships or a lucky job that is vacant then a business frat can help a lot. My impression of the frat is that it has a nice environment and safe for anyone who is a little shy because people will talk to you because they want you to join. Compared to a social frat, this frat is a bit more serious and the connections made are on two different levels. My plan to get more involved with the frat would be to join more of their meetings and to join the frat the end if i can. During my short visit to the business frat, I learned that the only way to have an opportunity to do something, you need to make the first step and check things out yourself. If you’re too shy to find out what you do not like or what you do like, you will never get to know.
