What our members say
Through my scholarship with ڰ and The Intern Group, I worked in Medellin, Colombia for six weeks as a strategy intern at one of the city's top aesthetic surgery clinics, interviewing clients and helping craft a customer retention plan. It was an amazing experience that allowed me to fulfill my goal of working in a Spanish-speaking country. While interning abroad, I greatly improved my Spanish, made several long-lasting friendships with students all over the world, fell in love with Colombian culture, and gained valuable work experience that helped me secure an awesome internship at Doctors Without Borders. My advice to potential ڰ members is to not only join, but get involved! I didn't expect to win the scholarship, but I'm so grateful I applied since it was truly one of the best experiences I've had.
ڰ is worth joining because it offers a multitude of amazing opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere! It has opened up a world of possibilities for me, and I hope it does the same for many others. From scholarships that help fund education to webinars and events that teach valuable skills, ڰ provides resources that can help anyone succeed in life. It enables personal growth in ways I never imagined possible! The benefits I’ve enjoyed the most have been the scholarship opportunities and the leadership experiences. Here, I can develop my leadership skills in a variety of situations, which has been incredibly rewarding.
I joined ڰ because it offers meaningful opportunities to grow academically, professionally, and personally alongside a community of high-achieving students. Through access to exclusive scholarships, college and career webinars, and leadership roles, I see ڰ as a platform to strengthen my future and stand out in competitive environments. I’m especially drawn to the chance to connect with like-minded peers and mentors who can inspire and support my goals. Joining ڰ would not only recognize my hard work but also open doors to new experiences and resources that can help me reach my full potential. In addition to the academic and leadership benefits, I appreciate that ڰ encourages involvement in global issues and community service, which aligns with my desire to make a positive impact. The society’s events and conferences offer a chance to engage with professionals and university representatives, giving me insight into future paths I might want to pursue. I also value the lifelong membership, which means I can continue to access resources and opportunities even beyond high school. Overall, joining ڰ feels like an investment in both my present and my future.
