Better Men Making Better Lives

This weekend I got to do something real cool. This weekend I got to make 10 young men's lives better. Not only in the facet of them joining a fraternity and broadening their horizon's, but because they had the tenacity to do what others couldn't. If joining a fraternity/sorority was easy, then everyone would do it. I am proud of the way these young me set themselves apart from others in their age group and took the Delta Sig challenge to become a better man.

The new guys all have special qualities about them that I like, but the one quality I like the most is they have become a unit. Their pledge class really rallied together and came close, despite their different backgrounds and interests, they became the best of friends and understand the true meaning of brotherhood. They are not the same at all, and yet they couldn't be closer.

The new initiates of Delta Sigma Phi will not only be better man, but they will be surrounded and influenced by better men and will put them in situations to succeed in life. Joining a fraternity is almost the sole reason I was offered my internship with FOX sports this summer in Los Angeles. Accepting the challenge to become a better man and balancing a varsity sport, a fraternity and school really taught me a lot about myself and what I am capable of and this capability was tapped into by the fraternity aspect of my freshman year of college. Watching these young men go through really made me reflect on my days as a freshman and what I want to tell them to avoid the same mistakes as me. Now I know how my dad feels...

Congrats Fall initiates of 2015 and welcome to the brotherhood.

Embracing the Tweet: Real-Time methods

Twitter is more than an app. Twitter has become a global phenomenon that has linked people, friends, and businesses to connections that wouldn't be possible without it. The reading in "Real-Time Marketing and PR" talked about "Embracing the Tweet" in chapter 10. The author talks about how Twitter is so easy to use and allows its users to search whatever they want, whenever they want. The more I thought about how true that statement was, I kept thinking of ways to better my fraternity's Twitter profile. My fraternity, Delta Sigma Phi is an organization just like a business or company with a Twitter page. Our social media was a little out of date until the beginning of the semester, when we had one of our brothers go through all of our channels and update some information. One of our brothers is in charge of the social media channels right now, but after reading this book, there are some valuable tips that I could implement into our profiles. Those changes could make our image more appealing and give us more followers. In this article, it talks about the positives and negatives of social media for Greek Life. Recruitment is a vital part of the social media aspect for Greek organizations because the millennial generation is starting to become known for it's attachment to social media, and the best way to get in touch and connect with those potential new members is through social media. David Meerman Scott talks about how Twitter can sometime make an organization/business's image look sleazy if the post seems to have too much hype. Twitter is more than an app. It is a useful tool that can help our businesses and improve our overall public relations with others around the globe.
