If asked what talons is, in my own words, I would have to say that it is a wonderful organization whose number one purpose is to upkeep, restore, and create new traditions of the University of North Texas. And, at the same time, create a sense of pride and spirit for our school and the community. However, if I limited my explanation to just that, I would be serving Talons a great injustice. In addition to spirit and service, Talons instills a sense of pride in an individual, and gives and immense feeling of family. I was very home sick my first year at college, but Talons made me feel like I had a home away from home, complete with friends that I could turn to, places I could go, and help if I needed it.
Talons is a very important organization, both to the school and the individual involved.
When I joined, I knew I was making one of the best decisions of my life, and I value and take great pride in being a called a Talon . Being a freshman at the University of North Texas, I was eager to become involved in the school and meet new friends. I enjoyed being a member of my high school's spirit club, so talons appealed to my interests. When I first joined talons, I thought it was a good organization with many nice people. The spirit, friendship, loyalty, and service I have experienced through talons has been very beneficial for me.
