• One For AllObjective:
  The purpose of the One For All activity is to inspire new members of the Membership Intake Class to reflect on their individual strengths, aspirations, and commitment to the success and development of Theta Rho Nu Fraternity, Inc. Using the knowledge they have gained about the fraternity’s foundation, purpose, and vision, participants will articulate their role in contributing to the organization’s mission and goals.Activity Description:
  During this reflective exercise, participants will take time to think about how their unique skills, experiences, and ambitions align with the fraternity’s mission and vision. Each intake member will write a brief personal summation (1–2 paragraphs) detailing how they envision their contributions to the fraternity’s growth, community impact, and overall success.

  Participants should consider the following prompts when crafting their response:

  1. What strengths and talents do you bring to Theta Rho Nu?
  2. How do you see yourself promoting the mission, vision, and motto of the fraternity?
  3. In what ways can you actively support the fraternity’s goals of mentorship, leadership development, and advocacy?
  4. What long-term role do you see yourself playing within the brotherhood and its initiatives?
