This Thursday, I went to the third General Interest Meeting held by the brother members of Alpha Kappa Psi, called Spread the Love. During the meeting, the RUSH members gave a short introduction of Alpha Kappa Psi. Alpha Kappa Psi is a professional business fraternity. It is an association filled with students, professors, and professionals who share the common interest and goals. I learned that in this program, there are many business leaders and brother members that can assist you with your problems and concerns throughout your career. One quote from the brothers that I really liked was “Stand out but don’t stand alone”. I think this is exactly how a leader is like. A leader would not be a leader if he/she has no followers at all. This organization is the best place for me to build my network and learn to be a leader.
I thought this meeting of Spread the Love was really interesting and caring for others. The main reason for this event was for us to prepare peanut butter and jelly sandwich follow along with other snacks and donate them to homeless shelters in order to feed people in hunger. This small room for this event was packed with people, there wasn’t even enough seats for us to sit, many people had to stand. The brother members even prepared food and beverages for us, which they didn’t include in the description of the meeting and I ate lunch before I went :(. After we ate, we started making the sandwiches one by one. I thought this meeting was really meaningful. As individuals in college and even in society, we should always help others with our full effort. Making peanut butter and jelly sandwich may be the easiest and cheapest thing for us, however to the people who are starving, this is what saves their lives. I am very proud that I was able to use my little ability and time to make a difference for others.
