Do you think that after receiving a higher education you will immediately become in demand in the labor market? But employers need proactive, active, motivated people with management and organizational skills.
Do you think that you will begin to actively “prove” yourself after studying at a university, and now the only important thing is to study, study and study again? But the formula for career and life success consists not only of excellent knowledge in subjects, but of the ability to make your dreams come true. This is not taught in class.
Do you think that you will start making business contacts after studying when you start working? Maybe. But you need them now. They will help you both in finding a job and in building a career. And in general, those who have a wider social circle and richer experience of interacting in different situations with different people achieve greater success in life.
You don’t know why extracurricular work within the walls of a university is needed? And what benefits does it give you personally? By participating in extracurricular activities, you will gain invaluable communication skills and attract attention. The life of the largest universities and institutes is not limited solely to studies and entertainment events. All kinds of outdoor seminars, scientific conferences, excursions and meetings with interesting people fall into the same category.
Do you think extracurricular activities will have no impact on your career trajectory? A serious hobby can become a lifelong pursuit. For many famous showmen, musicians, and athletes, the path to life was not given by a specialist diploma, but by classes in student sections and clubs. Perhaps it is participation in KVN teams, a student theater or a university music group that will determine your future fate
Don't you like everything about the teaching system, university management, and working with students? Would you like to make student life brighter and more interesting? Would you like to change the world around you, or at least a small part of it?
Would you like to find your calling in life? or you don’t know where to direct your creative energy?
Would you like to become the best in your business, find like-minded people and achieve success?
You don’t know where to gain experience in negotiations, drafting documents, and holding events?
The solution to all these issues is student association. It is student associations that are the institute, the laboratory where the personality of a young person is formed, the necessary leadership qualities are acquired, the ability to work in a team, identify the main problems and find optimal ways to solve them.
Not only your career, but also, without exaggeration, YOUR life depends on how you show yourself now, during your studies!
Student Association is a voluntary association of university students with the goal of jointly resolving issues to improve the quality of student life. Such an association gives them the right to take part in the management of student life at the university and use opportunities for self-realization and development. Student public associations operating in accordance with the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 82-FZ (as amended on July 20, 2012) “On Public Associations.”
Goals and objectives of creating student associations:

– assistance in the implementation of socially significant youth initiatives;
– preservation and development of the university’s corporate traditions.
Student associations build their activities on the following principles:

"The Student Council is the main form of self-government of students and ensures the interaction of all student associations of MGSU. The Student Council unites students of all levels of higher education (bachelor's, master's, specialists and graduate students). The Student Council must include representatives of student councils of all MGSU institutes. On the councils of student institutes MGSU should have representatives of students at all levels of education, training for which is carried out at the institute.”
Student communities in the United States have existed for three centuries. And these are not just interest clubs. The so-called “brotherhoods” and “sisterhoods” consist of the best of the best, the color of the nation and its future.
History of appearance
The tradition of creating student communities appeared in the United States along with the first universities. They were called “Latin societies” because abbreviations of Latin letters were used as their names. The first such organization was the Flat Hat Club (F.H.C.), the most famous member of which was the third US President Thomas Jefferson, although in one of his letters published in November 2010 by The New-York Times, he called membership in the society pointless.
Another oldest Latin fraternity was the group “Please Don’t Ask” (P.D.A.). The future American politician John Hiff unsuccessfully tried to break into both fraternities, which united the young intellectual elite.
On December 5, 1776, he created the first “Greek” student society, Phi Betta Kappa, at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, of which he served as president.
Since then, the use of a combination of two or three Greek letters as the name of communities has been a tradition. In this regard, the phrases “fraternity” and “Greek society” became synonymous. Often the abbreviation hides the secret motto of the brotherhood.
The first "sisterhood", called the Adelphi Society (today Alpha Delta Pi), did not appear until the mid-19th century, in 1851, at Georgia Wesleyan College. And since the beginning of the twentieth century, many men's societies began to accept women into their ranks. And if initially “sisterhoods” were created as opposed to “brotherhoods,” today they sometimes unite, so now the term “brotherhood” is freely used in relation to both organizations of boys and girls.
Rite of passage
To undergo the rite of passage into a community, one must first be approved by the members of that community. Talented athletes, excellent students, future leaders are those in whom interest is shown. But all these qualities instantly fade if the candidate does not have wealthy parents behind him. Who you are and who your family is are the most important criteria when joining the student elite. An important role is played by the potential candidate's ability to pay membership fees, which range from $2,000 per semester onwards, which includes accommodation in a special “Greek”, dormitory and meals.
Becoming a “sister” is a little more difficult. In addition to all of the above, a successful candidate must have an attractive appearance.
But let's return to the initiation rite itself. Each community spends a so-called “hell week” - a hellish week, during which candidates for membership undergo a series of tests. Some of them are quite acceptable: an interview, demonstrating knowledge of the history of the community, its traditions and values, checking that the candidate meets all the requirements. But among others, there are also extremely wild tasks that are more like torture: walking naked around the campus, dousing yourself with sour milk, spending the night on the cold floor in the basement in only your underwear.
There is a legend that during initiation into Yale University's Skull and Bones community, candidates were forced to drink blood and tell the audience about their sexual preferences. Cruel rituals are considered the most dangerous and frightening part of “Greek” life, causing terrible incidents that sometimes even end in death.
Thus, in 2008, during initiation into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 18-year-old California Polytechnic University freshman Carson Starkey died. Carson, under duress, drank several bottles of strong alcohol, including 95-proof Everclear.
The young man fainted, and the club members decided not to take him to the hospital so as not to incur problems. After the incident, the “brotherhood” closed. But similar stories continue to appear in the American press.
Their morals
Over the past few years, the hype around student communities in the American media has not subsided: homophobic, misogynistic and racist antics, cases of hooliganism, alcohol poisoning, beatings, drug trafficking, rape - this, according to Complex correspondent Ian Cervantes, is far from a complete list of what repaired by members of the “Greek houses”. Bloomberg News journalists David Glovin and John Hechinger note that since 2005, more than sixty people, mostly students, have died in fraternity-related incidents.
Such incidents have become a regular practice, and parents of injured students prefer to sue not the university, but the society itself. In the early 90s, the union of three student fraternities created the Franternity Risk Management Trust, an insurance fund designed to cover the costs of incoming lawsuits. Today, 33 fraternities work with the foundation.
To control the situation, communities themselves create certain rules for themselves. For example, alcohol is prohibited on most sorority campuses. However, this law can be easily circumvented by going to a party with the “brothers” in the neighborhood. Also, in 44 states, hazing (in our opinion, hazing) in student communities is prohibited at the legislative level. But ritual humiliations and savage customs still exist, only secretly.
Today, journalists and analysts predict the death of student communities due to a decrease in trust, and many universities are making futile attempts to close them on their territory - usually Greek houses exist independently of universities, being independent organizations, or in the event of another scandal they enlist the support of their influential alumni.
Why is it so important to be in a “brotherhood”?
According to The Atlantic journalist Maria Konnikova, 18 of the 44 presidents of the United States were members of fraternities. William Howard Taft, Truman's Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett, media mogul Henry Luce, both Bushes, current Secretary of State John Kerry - all were members of the already mentioned Yale University Skull and Bones society, and even Jen Psaki, known in Russia for her pearls, studied in that Yale University, was a member of the Chi Omega sorority.
The statistics regarding this issue are, in principle, very tempting - 42% of all US senators and the heads of 85% of large companies in the states were members of fraternities.
Professor Alan DeSantis, in his book “Inside the Greek Y: Brotherhoods, Sisterhoods and the Pursuit of Pleasure,” notes that only 8.5% of US students are members of fraternities, and they are the first contenders to rise to the top of power. So who would refuse the opportunity to be among the future political and economic elite?
In modern thinking, a member of the community is the ideal student. He is successful in his studies, he attends the loudest parties, participates in organizing the best events at the university, and knows interesting people. An image that fits perfectly into the notorious “American Dream”. Membership in a student community is even indicated on a resume when looking for a job, and the company will be more favorable to such a candidate.
A member of the “Greek House” will never go missing. After all, one of the basic rules of any student society is to “pull up” your own. There are no “ex-brothers”.
20. 07. 2015 2 535In an interview, Oleg Zorya shared his vision of the mechanisms for professional development and patriotic education of Russian youth, which developed thanks to his experience working in public youth organizations and associations, the Public Chamber of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and activities in the regional branch of the ONF.
Oleg Zorya – 27 years old, chairman of the All-Russian public youth organization “Students of Russia” (studrossiya.rf). Born in the city of Sarov, Nizhny Novgorod region. In 2011 he graduated from Nizhny Novgorod State University. Lobachevsky, Faculty of Finance, majoring in Banking. Banking". He began to engage in social activities at the university, then was elected to the Youth Parliament at the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, then joined the Russian Youth Union. From 2009 to May 2015, he was the head of the Nizhny Novgorod regional organization of RSM. In 2015, together with a team of like-minded people, he created the Students of Russia Organization, which he joined as deputy chairman in charge of regional development. On June 20, 2015, he was elected its chairman.
- Tell us about the main goals of the organization. How can a regular student join you?
Our goal is the comprehensive development of students, creating opportunities for their self-realization. Our task is to raise a generation of educated, purposeful, strong-willed, initiative, talented young people with a professional approach to solving complex problems, who love their city and their country. To do this, we create conditions for students to participate in events aimed at their professional development and further employment, and also form a student community in which young people communicate with each other, increase their social capital, develop strengths, and learn to work in a team and achieve results. We are a grassroots student organization with a focus on personal development. And each member of the “Students of Russia” team is a personality who can captivate dozens, or even hundreds of young people.
It is worth noting the principle of operation of the all-Russian organization. At the federal level, we collect successful regional practices of student projects and initiatives, ensure their inclusion in federal areas of activity and broadcast throughout the country. It often happens that guys have sparkling eyes and have ideas, but they don’t know where to go and don’t know how to get their ideas supported and helped to be implemented. We provide administrative, programmatic, and methodological support to our regional branches. We train activists in the mechanisms of interaction with authorities, university administrations, commercial and non-profit partners. As a result, the guys transform from a simple student association into a strong regional team that organizes not only events at the level of their university, but also city, district, and even federal projects. For example, in Kursk in 2015, with the support of the team of the Kursk regional branch of the Students of Russia Organization, the Kursk Bulge youth forum was held, and in 2016 this event is already planned as one of the federal projects of our patriotic direction. Students who have completed the school of life in our organization easily find work in local authorities, promising companies and leading media outlets. If necessary, we facilitate their successful employment.
Students learn about us from our regional representatives, mainly through events and social networks. We are already actively cooperating with the Crimean Federal University, Southwestern State University, Dagestan State University, Yelets State University, Vyatka State University and many others. If a student does not find an answer to his questions at the university, he can contact us directly through our website or social media accounts. Depending on his interests and goals, we offer participation in one of our programs. For example, just last week a student from the Moscow Institute of Humanities and Economics contacted us with a desire to jointly develop the Student Asset of her university. She is currently undergoing an internship at our Central Office, learning strategic planning skills, business communications, and building relationships between students and the university administration. Then we will jointly develop a work plan and program of events for the new academic year, and we will coordinate the children on organizational issues.
We implement all initiatives that come from students into our federal programs and attract partners in the public and non-profit sectors for support. For example, a girl from Crimea came to us with the idea of creating a federal student media holding. Almost every university today has media centers and student media, but they are not integrated with each other, so the girl proposed the structure of such a unified student information space. Now we are jointly preparing this concept for consideration by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. Another example is the All-Russian Student Forum, which will be held in Rostov-on-Don from September 3 to 6. We are organizing one of the forum’s platforms – “Victory-70”. At the event, children will be able to present their ideas, receive mentoring support and the opportunity to implement their project at the federal level. We will select the 10 best youth practices in the field of patriotism and include them in the All-Russian network of patriotic centers that we are creating.
When guys get involved in the development processes of federal programs and projects and offer their vision, a synergy results, which ultimately gives a good result. It is important for us to reach as many students as possible, so that both at the university and in their free time, young people know where they can direct their energy, where their ideas will be heard.
"Students of Russia"- an all-Russian public youth organization that unites student councils and is focused on practical work with students. Implements all-Russian programs for the development of student self-government, sports, international cooperation, student media, volunteerism, educational projects in the field of career development and employment of students, development of managerial and personal competencies of student leaders, intellectual potential of students, civil and patriotic initiatives. The founding meeting of the organization was held in Moscow on February 15, 2015. At the moment, regional branches of the Students of Russia Organization have been created in more than 40 regions of Russia.
You have many projects and areas that almost all youth organizations are involved in - “Patriot”, “Sport”, “Self-Government”, “Media”, “Dobro”... It’s roughly clear from the name of each what is meant. What is the “External Environment” direction? Tell us more...
— This is an area of work on the socialization of foreign students in Russian universities. They are often confined to the territory of a university or dormitory and do not participate in sports, creative and other events. But they, among other things, are carriers of the unique culture of their native country. By developing youth international relations, we instill tolerance and mutual support in students. After all, we are all interested in young people returning to their homeland telling positive stories about Russia, sharing impressions about our customs and ourselves. Today, working with this area, we collect information about regions where a large number of foreign students study. We will solve this issue comprehensively, develop methodological instructions and recommendations on how to work with foreign students at the university. There is no need to divide students into “ours” and “not ours”. Each of them is part of a large community called “Students of Russia.
- How many members of the organization? In which cities do you already have representative offices?
— The founding congress of the organization took place on February 15, 2015. We have representative offices in every federal district, which is very important for us. Almost immediately, guys from the Republic of Crimea got involved in our work. Students chose the most interesting areas for themselves and began to organize events. For example, Sports Week is a massive student sports festival, which featured not only competitions, but also an educational and discussion platform on the promotion of traditional and non-traditional sports. The guys also took part in the program of city holidays taking place in Crimea. We organized administrative and methodological support. Strong representation in Dagestan - one can feel the pronounced motivation of the guys who have actively shown themselves at various educational and scientific forums, and are now preparing a regional student forum.
Students from Voronezh, Ivanovo, Perm, Kursk, Omsk, and Kirov showed particular interest. The guys regularly offer ideas to improve the work of the Students of Russia Organization. For example, at the Congress of the Organization with representatives of regional branches, which took place in Moscow on June 20, we actively discussed the topic of involving first-year students in student life. Many people suggested making a single day of initiation into students. We have developed a program for a unified all-Russian action and are now discussing this initiative in the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in order to receive support and broadcast the action to the regions. We are pleased that the guys show interest in self-development and suggest topics in which they want to gain new knowledge. We have developed and launched an online educational course for our regional branches taking these wishes into account. It is important for us to create an organization such that students feel comfortable with us and they know where we are all moving together. In total, we are currently working in 43 regions of the Russian Federation.
- Introduce the team of the Students of Russia Organization...
— Our team is not divided into representatives of Moscow and regions. We work as a single organism, and all strategically important decisions for the Organization are made by the Federal Council of the organization, which includes one or two representatives of each Federal District of Russia. I will tell you in more detail about the central apparatus - the main center of our organization. It is represented by the following specialists: Anna Karpukhina – Chairman of the Federal Council, who has extensive experience in the non-profit sector; Olga Berestovskaya is the head of the organizational department, who works directly with the regions; Artem Tkachenko is the Project Manager of the Organization, Elena Starostina is engaged in design and program activities, Nadezhda Kobina is the Director of the Information and Analytics Department of our Organization. I have already had experience working with almost every one of these people in the socio-political sphere over the past five years.
- Who are the Organization’s partners today?
— From the state authorities - these are the relevant departments dealing with youth: the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs, Rosobrnadzor, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. We are building relationships with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, the All-Russian Popular Front, and the State Duma. We cooperate with the All-Russian public organization "Officers of Russia", the International children's and youth public organization for promoting military-sports and patriotic education "Association of Knights", the Commissioner for Students' Rights in Russia A.M. Khromov, Russian Student Center. On the business side - with the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom (its subsidiary of JSC Atomenergomash), the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. You might think that we want to embrace the immensity. In fact, solving the problems of the younger generation is possible only through comprehensive work in all areas at all levels of government. Therefore, we are open to cooperation and establish relationships with everyone with whom we share common ideas and goals.
Question about Varvara Karaulova. Why does an excellent student at Moscow State University from a prosperous Moscow family run away to ISIS? After all, this is not a topic for an individual student, but for all of our youth, who, it seems to me, do not find meaning in modern society, but are looking for it on the side. This is a challenge to our society. Are we able to contrast the black meanings of ISIS with white meanings?
— I agree, there is a problem of the lack of ideology among young people, and in the country as a whole. And this is a very serious danger that turns us from a country with a great history into a simple community of people living in the same territory. Unlike the Islamic State, which has clear fundamental goals, beliefs and principles, thanks to which, unfortunately, they manage to attract fanatical followers, increasing their numbers. I am absolutely sure that the girl was not looking for evil meanings. She was not going to slaughter and kill, but to build a “bright future”, because most likely this is what the recruiters told her about. And having returned to Russia as an “agent of influence” for ISIS, this sweet girl would begin to promote his ideas among student youth. This is much worse, so thank God they turned her back in time. For all of us, this is a sign of what will happen if we do not think about the ideological bonds that can bind our society, revive the power of our country and raise a young generation of active patriots. Any state, like any organization, rests on people. These people must be a cohesive, strong team moving towards the same goals. Then they have a chance to survive. Through projects and programs implemented by the Students of Russia Organization, we set ourselves the following goal: to unite the young people of our country into a single all-Russian team, an ambitious team of active patriots with a professional attitude towards work, completely different in their needs and interests, but with all their might wanting to contribute to the development of their hometowns, regions and beloved country.
