Why get involved? -Beth hrymak

Let’s take a minute to pretend you’re in the following scenario:
​

You are one of the roughly 3,800 students within the State Farm Hall of Business at Illinois State University. You’re sitting in the first lecture of the semester with 300 other students learning the exact same material as each of them. So what’s really going to set you apart this semester from the rest? Easy! Getting involved!

Here are my top 3 reasons that I feel it is so important to get involved on campus, specifically, with Alpha Kappa Psi.

  1. Leadership Positions
Not only is it important to get involved, it’s important to get involved within those organizations. You can learn a lot of real world experiences by taking on leadership positions. I cannot stress enough how much you can learn from leading others. Not only do you understand others and how to manage them, but you’ll learn how to manage and understand yourself in certain situations. This is also an awesome way to expand your resume and appeal to recruiters!

      2. Networking
Joining Alpha Kappa Psi means meeting more people to add to your personal and professional network. By joining any organization that interests you, chances are others within that organization have the same interests. Boom! Common ground for a relationship to be made. Expanding your network will lead to some pretty exciting opportunities in the future!
​

      3. Learn New Things
There’s something to be taken away from any organization on campus. Before I joined Alpha Kappa Psi, I couldn’t tell you a single thing about how to be professional or how to invest. After being in the organization, I have learned not only both of these things, but so much more that I never would have had I not gotten involved.
Although the business world might not be something that interests everyone, almost everyone will need to know how to survive in the business world. Expand your knowledge of business, professionalism and more by rushing Alpha Kappa Psi at Illinois State!
