During the second semester of my sophomore year, I decided to join a professional business fraternity, Pi Sigma Epsilon, that is marketing and sales oriented. I decided to do this since I realized that I won’t be as involved in the International Affairs Scholars Program as a third-year student, or in the STEP Program, and I won’t need to participate in another student organization. I also decided to join because I have always wanted to be involved in a professional business fraternity, and I love meeting new people.
The “New Member” semester is a busy one. Before we are initiated, we have to complete a series of tasks which includes: meeting with at least 25 members, participating in a community service event, and working with my assigned new member group to develop an innovative business plan in which we present in front of actual Fortune 500 companies.
Despite the busy semester, I have really enjoyed this student organization. I have made so many new friends already, and it has in a way forced me to be more social or do fun things in my busy schedule. Not only that, but now I am able to have a more well-rounded college experience with simply being involved in a fraternity, going to formal, attending sales, participating in our annual sales competition, etc.
I can’t wait to see how this professional business fraternity helps me develop professionally and personally. To find out more about what we do, please view this link: http://www.pseosu.com
