My response to him was because I wanted to be involved. He then asked me if it was a requirement of my Fraternity. My response was no. I then added by saying that I like to help others.
In any organizations I've been involved with, I do not think there has been a time when they have ask for my help. I helped because I wanted to. It's really hard for me to say that, because I hate to take credit for what I've done. Why should I?
I could type a list of what I've done, but I won't and never will. I will only write my involvements:
Fall 2009 - Present:
- American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
- ASCE Concrete Canoe Team
- Bathtub Racing Association
- Drama Club
- Emerging Leaders
- Green Hornet Radio
- Institute of Transportation Engineers
- Order of Omega
- Orientation Leader
- Residence Hall Association
- Resident Assistants
- Service Leadership Endorsement Programs
- Sigma Pi Fraternity
- Student Government Association
- Student Honor Code Council
- Student Life Committee
- The Sting
If you ask me a specific question, like did you help XYZ organization to create X and Y? If I did, I will answer, "yes," because you asked and I'm giving you a honest answer. If you ask me who created X and Y, I'll answer "XYZ organization." That's a honest answer, too.
Why should anyone take credit for something they did in the organization? To me, an organization is one unit. In other words, 30 members are in XYZ organization. They are in that organization for a common goal/purpose. Anything that is done in that organization is seen by others as XYZ organization did that, not A or B member.
In conclusion, when I see the success from something "our organization" did; we did it and I'm proud of our organization.
