Two organizations I am thinking about joining the Majorettes and the sorority Alpha's chapter Delta Sigma Theta.
Pros: Learning more about African American history, being on one of the best majorette teams, and pledging Delta which can later open up doors for me in life with the connections I make within the greek organization.
Cons: Lots of people , acceptionally high acceptance rate.
I chose to research Howard University because I recently stumbled across an interest in historically black colleges and this is one of the best. Though most believe Howard lacks diversity, I feel like it might be a more comfortable experience as opposed to being predominantly Caucasion. Also, it might be enlightening as I learn about African American history and exposing my mind to the culture. They also provide greek life organizations which can open up doors in life to make connections in the real world.
