Conference INFO Award Recipients

Meals

Conduct

Nametags

Students and advisors wearing award recipient and/or finalist ribbons represent the councils which have applied and been selected to receive awards at the recognition banquet on Saturday. Ask these individuals about the outstanding work they are doing on their campuses, sign up for an awards consultation. No excessive noise should be heard in the hotel hallways at any time. It is important to respect the privacy of all hotel guests, especially those who are not involved with our conference. See the Standards Policy on page 5 for more information and full details.

Conference Dress

Badge attire should be worn for all sessions of the conference. The Saturday evening banquet attire is a coat and tie for men and semi-formal dress for women. Follow us on Pinterest for examples of what is and is not appropriate to wear.

Daily Announcements

All updates on conference activities will be announced in the first general session each day. You can also follow us on Twitter and download the Guidebook App for an up to date schedule. If you wish to make a general announcement, the deadline is noon the previous day. Announcements should be submitted in writing to the conference office in Spinnaker.

Ed Session Evaluations

Provide feedback for each educational session using paper evaluations, which will be available in each session room. Evaluations are essential to the program presenter and help us make AFLV West even better. We really do care what you think. Return your completed session evaluations to the program presenter or to the registration desk in Bayview Foyer. The overall conference evaluation will be available electronically immediately following the conference.

Emergencies

Please report injuries and illnesses to hotel security through the hotel operator and contact an AFLV West Office staff member immediately.

Conference registration includes lunch on Friday and Saturday and the Regcongnition Banquet on Saturday. Your nametag will be your admission to all meals. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional meal tickets can be purchased from the registration desk. Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all Ed sessions, general sessions, meals, and any special events (seriously, all conference events). If you lose your nametag, you will be charged a $20 replacement fee, so don’t lose it!

Promptness

Please arrive early to the educational sessions because many sessions fill up quickly! Think about it: if there’s a session you’re super excited to attend, there’s a pretty good chance dozens or even hundreds of other people are also super excited. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Because seating capacity is limited for some rooms, sessions could close, so plan ahead and arrive early. If your session is full, consider checking out one of our featured speakers!

Questions

Find any member of our intern team, Conference Committee, or Central Office staff if you have questions. All of our team members are easily identified by our silver AFLV nametags.

Registration

Delegates should check in with the hotel BEFORE checking in with the conference. Conference registration is located in Bayview Foyer. All AFLV West participants must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametags at all times. Thanks to Phired Up Productions for serving as our WELCOME committee.

Gender Neutral Restrooms

AFLV is pleased to offer a gender neutral restroom, located on the Nautilus level of the Marina Tower conference space.–

Hotel Info Check In & Check Out

Check in is at 3:00 p.m. You will be able to leave your luggage at the bellman station if you arrive early. Check out on Sunday is at 11:00 a.m. If you need extra time, please make arrangements with the front desk.

STANDARDS POLICY To ensure that all AFLV Conferences continue to maintain a reputation for excellence and high standards, we have high expectations of appropriate behavior at each event. In an effort to minimize hotel security involvement, behavior standards will be monitored and enforced by the Conference Standards Team. It is expected that each conference participant reads, understands, and follows conference behavior standards as well as appropriate federal, state, and local laws.

AFLV expects that conference attendees respect the property and the rights of the hotel and its guests. In that spirit, be advised that alcoholic beverages are not

permitted in general hotel spaces and there will be no alcohol permitted in guest rooms. Alcohol is also not permitted at any conference event, including meals. Loud and disruptive music is also prohibited.

All federal, state, and local laws apply, as do your institutions policies and procedures. The legal drinking age in the state of California is 21 and is strictly enforced.

Standards Process

Depending on the severity, first incidents may result in a warning. After one warning, individuals violating conduct expectations may be asked to leave the

conference and the hotel. AFLV reserves the right to send any individual or delegation home without any warning if the violation is deemed severe enough. University officials and inter/ national fraternities and sororities will be informed of the conduct and the individuals responsible. If any member of a council is asked to leave the hotel, that council may be suspended from attending future AFLV conferences. Additionally, if a university has repeated offenses while in attendance, its membership in AFLV and eligibility to attend future conferences will be in jeopardy.

Ed Session Icons In an effort to help you select educational sessions that are most applicable to your interests and position, icons appear next to each session title. Within the conference, sessions are categorized into 15 areas, many of which correspond with the AFLV Awards & Assessment process. Using these icons is a great way to guide the decisions you make on which session to attend. Any participant is welcomed and encouraged to attend any session, regardless of category or conference.

Keynote Speakers Kristen Hadeed

Delatorro McNeal II

Leadersh!t

Leadership on The Big Screen

Thursday | 7:30 - 9:00 P.M. | Grande Ballroom | @kristenhadeed

Friday | 9:00 - 10:30 A.M. | Grande Ballroom | @delatorro

So often we call ourselves “leading organizations,” but are we? A young entrepreneur with 500+ employees, Kristen Hadeed knows what it takes to become one. She believes that most organizations call themselves leaders but in reality are full of sh!t. When a member messes up, do you give second chances? When there is a difficult conversation, do you avoid it? When members become disengaged, do you let them drift away instead of reeling them back in? In this program Kristen will change the way you think about and define your organization. She will challenge you to become so committed to its values that there will be no place for members who aren’t living up to them. Her story will teach you what it really takes to get your organization to the next level, one that leaves behind a legacy and doesn’t depend on a certain group of people to succeed.

Leadership on the Big Screen is Delatorro’s most requested leadership development program. Packed with over 35 profound, actionable leadership lessons gleaned from America’s favorite blockbuster movies, this cutting-edge program teaches leadership in a way that engages every student. Students can’t get enough as they interact, debate, laugh, learn, and grow as Delatorro masterfully dissects movies, pulls out profound leadership truths, and teaches the art of leadership like you’ve never experienced it before… On the Big Screen!

Rick Barnes

Corey Ciocchetti

The Evolution of Leadership

Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic (Greek) Life

Saturday | 9:00 - 10:30 A.M. | Grande Ballroom | @Barnesspeaks

Sunday | 9:00 - 10:15 A.M. | Grande Ballroom | @coreyciocchetti

The world is full of speakers educating audiences of leaders on how to lead. The Evolution of Leadership is unique in that it focuses on the growth and development of leadership rookies, veterans, and followers. This workshop takes a comprehensive look at the possibilities that exist when members of an organization embrace each other's strengths and build a tight-knit community. Rick’s trademark honesty and matter-of-fact humor empowers students to raise the bar.

What is an authentic life? Can I live my founders’ values and still have fun? Do Greeks have advantages that others don't? This inspiring discussion answers these questions in detail. Corey delves into Greek values to demonstrate that seeking contentment, positive relationships, and strong character are the keys to a more rewarding Greek experience and a happy life. This path to authentic success is contrasted to worldly successes such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Audience members leave ready to develop character, hone virtues, and set priorities. Corey focuses on how the Greek community is advantaged in values alignment because of the strong foundation instituted generations ago.

Featured Speakers Sailesh Jiawan

Amber Krzys

Thursday entertainment: Sailesh, The Hypnotist

The Paradox of Desire

Thursday | 10:45 - 11:45 P.M. | Grande Ballroom | @saileshhypno

Friday | 10:45 - 11:45 A.M. | Nautilus 5 | @bodyheart

Sailesh, dubbed “the best hypnotist in the world,” has appeared at over 300 colleges and has been performing for 15 years. His shows are known for their raucous humor, high energy, and incomparable entertainment. While Sailesh is mostly known as an entertainer, he truly believes in the positive power of hypnosis and seeks to help people use hypnosis to improve their lives. If your students are stressed, having trouble focusing, or just generally feel overwhelmed, Sailesh’s one hour empowerment session may be the answer! In his workshop, Sailesh helps students learn techniques to improve study habits, organizational skills, and memory. He will teach workshop attendees techniques that will help them excel at college and will continue to benefit them throughout their lives. Sailesh’s unique and humorous approach to his craft entertains workshop participants and also provides them with skills to find purpose, achieve goals, and take control of their lives!

“When I ace my exams…When I lose ten pounds…When I’m in the right sorority/ fraternity,” THEN I’ll be good enough. If you've ever thought those words, this talk is for you. Based on Amber Krzys’ successful TEDx Talk, this session will open your eyes to the paradox of desire. We often seek fulfillment from "out there," when really, the best way to have anything you want is to start from within. This session will help you have more confidence, freedom, and joy right now, without anything in your life changing on the outside. During Educational Block #2.

Antonio Neves How To Create Your Own Luck Friday | 2:15 - 3:15 P.M. | Nautilus 5 | @TheAntonioNeves A small town guy from Michigan, Antonio Neves moved to New York City with just $600 in his pocket. Even though he knew just one person, slept on a floor for almost a year, and had to work multiple jobs just to survive, he went on to build a successful career with top television networks and as an entrepreneur. In this keynote, Antonio breaks down three steps to creating your own luck and helps students understand how they can start setting themselves up for a better shot at success. These steps, including “finding the edge,” learning how to take an entrepreneurial approach to life success, and identifying the people that make you better, will empower students to take steps now so they can be prepared to stand out later. During Educational Block #3.

Ross Szabo Before the Breakdown; Achieving Mental Health in Your Chapter Friday | 3:45 - 4:25 P.M. | Nautilus 5 | @RossESzabo Mental health challenges have quickly become one of the largest issues facing fraternities and sororities. Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, lack of sleep, and substance abuse are impacting members in all chapters. We care about this issue but aren’t sure how to address this topic. Fraternities and sororities can be the best place to provide support to the people who need it the most. This session will help you learn the best steps to reach out to brothers/sisters and create a positive mental health environment. Ross’ humorous and honest approach leads to an interactive conversation about the reasons students don’t seek help. He addresses steps to develop effective coping mechanisms and how to approach someone experiencing a mental health challenge. During Educational Block #4.

Featured Speakers C.L. Lindsay

Joshua Fredenburg

Alcohol, Parties, and the Law

ETHICS + SERVICE = GREAT LEADERSHIP!

Saturday | 10:45 - 11:45 A.M. | Nautilus 5 | @CLLindsayiii

Saturday | 2:00 - 3:00 P.M. | Nautilus 5 | @visionxy

C.L. Lindsay is the country’s foremost authority on Higher Education Law. He literally wrote the book on legal problems in higher education. The College Student’s Guide to the Law has become the definitive authority used by students, university counsel and nationwide as a textbook. What defines C.L. isn’t his knowledge. It’s his uncanny ability to make legal concepts not only understandable, but funny. CL’s Alcohol, Parties, and the Law lecture teaches students everything they need to know to make their parties safe AND legal: the basics of (and penalties for) underage drinking violations including consumption, serving to minors, and (ahem) public urination; how to legally collect party donations, deal with neighbors, social host liability, bystander intervention, tips for dealing, with the police, and much more. During Educational Block #6.

For centuries, our communities, nation, and world have been greatly impacted by incredible leaders. These powerful men and women have not only understood the enormous power of leadership, ethics, and service, but have also embodied the important aspects of service and ethical leadership within their hearts. In this engaging, and life-changing leadership presentation, Joshua Fredenburg talks about the importance of service and ethical leadership within our culture and society, and he provides emerging and seasoned leaders with practical and applicable leadership skills that enable them to see the positive benefits of becoming ethical leaders who serve. Participants in this dynamic program will learn about integrity, exceptional character, servant leadership, social justice, leading with love, values-based leadership, authentic leadership, ethical leadership, courageous leadership, humility, and the power of leading by example. During Educational Block #8.

Jessica Pettitt

Lauren Berger

Be The Change You Want To Be

Welcome to the Real World - Careers in the New Economy

Saturday | 3:10 - 4:10 P.M. | Nautilus 5 | @jesspettitt

Saturday | 4:20 - 5:20 P.M. | Nautilus 5 | @internqueen

Student groups often ask speakers to come in, teach something, make the group feel good, learn, and laugh. This keynote does two of the three, at least at first. Using an interactive and conversational style, this keynote encourages participants to play with their cell phones, raise their hands, and laugh out loud. The laughter comes from well orchestrated humor as well as a slowly developing feeling of discomfort. In order to really make change, a person must realize what they are oblivious to and come to understand how this lack of consciousness guides his or her actions and assumptions. Collectively, the group begins to break down behaviors, actions, assumptions, and stereotypes that limit their organizations, friends, and most importantly, themselves. Before you know it, participants are creating tangible goals and realistic action steps to take as soon as the speaker leaves the stage. This is also the featured speaker for the Out & Greek Institute. During Educational Block #7.

Lauren Berger, CEO & Founder of InternQueen.com and author of the new book, "Welcome To The Real World; Finding Your Place, Perfecting Your Work, and Turning Your Job Into Your Dream Career," gives a smart, practical, and fun lecture on making the most of that first, second, or third job after college. It’s a challenging time to be young and in the workplace, and Berger’s talk encourages young people to think about the big picture, effectively manage rejection, network like a pro, navigate sticky office politics, maintain a healthy work/life balance, and most importantly - how to get promoted! During Educational Block #9.

Start OUT & Greek with a Welcome Reception! This reception is for all GLBTQ and ally attendees and will include music, light refreshments, and an opportunity to mingle with brothers and sisters in attendance in San Diego.

In order to really make change, a person must realize what they are oblivious to and come to understand how this lack of consciousness guides his or her actions and assumptions. Collectively, the group begins to break down behaviors, actions, assumptions, and stereotypes that limit their organizations, friends, and most importantly, themselves. See page 9 for full description.

As we bring closure to the Out & Greek Institute, join Jessica Pettit for a dialogue about the institute, its impact, and most importantly…you and the next steps you plan to take upon your return to campus. In true Jessica fashion, come prepared for an open, honest, and safe conversation.

Kristen Hadeed, @KristenHadeed So often we call ourselves “leading organizations,” but are we? A young entrepreneur with 500+ employees, Kristen Hadeed knows what it takes to become one. She believes that most organizations call themselves leaders but in reality are full of sh!t. When a member messes up, do you give second chances? When there is a difficult conversation, do you avoid it? When members become disengaged, do you let them drift away instead of reeling them back in? In this program Kristen will change the way you think about and define your organization. She will challenge you to become so committed to its values that there will be no place for members who aren’t living up to them. Her story will teach you what it really takes to get your organization to the next level, one that leaves behind a legacy and doesn’t depend on a certain group of people to succeed.

ed block 1, 9:15 -10:15 p.m. Hey Multicultural Orgs, Check Your Leadership Ego

Culture, culture, culture: The thing that matters in council success

Hey Superwoman, take off your cape. Batman, take off your mask. Hey sorority and fraternity leaders, put away your ego. In this session, students will be asked to think about leadership differently by considering this concept: authentic leadership is about using your experiences, your shortcomings and lessons learned to make yourself appear more human to your brothers and sisters. By doing this, you'll earn far more respect and admiration than you would from trying to be a leader who is a flawless hero. In turn, the bonds you form in your fraternities and sororities are tighter and you can have greater influence on one another.

Countless tools and resources exist that are meant to help your council become high performing and reach the pinnacle of success. The problem, however, is that these tools won’t work if your council is not part of the right organizational culture. In the battle for council excellence, your community’s culture is the first issue that should be addressed. With so many skilled council leaders wanting to do the right thing, how can we get to a place where these desires are accomplished? Rewriting an organization's culture is no small feat, but we have a system that will help.

Social Excellence Advanced Nautilus 4 | Program #002

This conference is more than just a series of workshops, speakers, and exhibit booths. This is a massive social experiment! Are you prepared to bring a level of excellence to your social interactions? Are you ready to stop being socially average and begin being socially excellent? This twopart session is designed to connect you with others on a deeper level, engineer your relationships with the leaders of the fraternal community, and help you discover the best social version of you! Social Excellence is a philosophy, a way of leading, a lifestyle built upon choices. Will you choose to make your experience excellent? We dare you.

Winning Habits: Building a Successful Recruitment Program Nautilus 1 | Program #003

Learn the proven recruitment structure that has doubled and tripled chapters in only one semester! This system is guaranteed to provide success for you just as it has for thousands of other chapters. Real recruitment isn’t about "stalking" freshmen we don’t know. It is about targeted networking with men and women we should call sisters and brothers. Our system of values-based, year-round recruitment emphasizes building authentic relationships with high-quality students on your campus. Quality and quantity are not mutually exclusive... learn how to get both! Tom Healy, LaunchPoint Solutions, healy@launchpointsolutions.org Dan Faill, LaunchPoint Solutions, dfaill@lmu.edu

Would You Recruit You? Nautilus 2 | Program #004

Why are some PNM's and Greek Letter organizations so coveted, while others seem to pass through the process virtually unnoticed? What is the tipping point for your chapter when deciding on who to actively recruit? This program will focus on the ABC's of initial interest and highlight what makes you appear more or less attractive as a person or organization. We'll also uncover the subtle differences exhibited between those often chosen and those often rejected. We will work to eliminate the self-fulfilling prophecies that many people and organizations live under, whereby we allow negative thoughts to permeate or lives and impede our potential. To be the best, we must be at our best, and this session will get you there. David Coleman, Coleman Productions, Inc., brooke@colemanproductions.com

Yeah, But…: Lessons in Social Justice, Ethics, and Making Decisions Seabreeze 2 | Program #006

“Yeah, but…” is the expression most of us find ourselves using when we know we did something wrong. Come find out why people’s actions may differ from what they really believe when they get put in sticky situations. This session will get you moving around and talking about the difficult situations we face everyday. Everyone has special circumstances or excuses they use to make exceptions. Don't you? Join us in this interactive activity that explores those disparities, why they exist, and how they affect the fraternity and sorority community. We’ll talk about things that at first appear black and white, but are often rather gray, and discuss why it is so important to understand them. Jamison Keller, University of California, Northridge, jamison.keller@csun.edu

How Women Haze

Seabreeze 1 | Program #007

Sorority women are the best of the best. They are socially networked, do well academically, and give back to the community. They form close bonds in sisterhood, dominate Greek Week and look out for one another professionally after graduation. They share in beautiful traditions and rituals and are there for one another when life gets truly hard. So, how is it that these caring, compassionate women can become “mean girls,” and create a culture in which a myriad of hazing activities are considered acceptable? Why do bystanders tolerate the hazing treatment of their sisters? Why are intelligent, confident new members asking to be hazed? Something doesn’t add up. This program will explore some of the answers to these questions and ways to recognize red flags. Lorin Phillips, CAMPUSPEAK, aed.trisigma@gmail.com

21 Unorthodox Ways to Evaluate a Chapter Marina 6 | Program #008

We know. We get it. Your chapter is "excellent." There are plaques, trophies, banners, and certificates to prove it. But, are there other ways to evaluate a chapter? Indeed, there are. We will review more than 20 of those unorthodox ways. The voicemail message of the chapter president, whether members wear sunglasses in the composite photos, behavior at campus, regional and national events, the way people sit at meetings... these are just a few examples. Come to this session prepared to take a very different look at your chapter. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc., David.Westol@gmail.com

Ed Block 1, 9:15 - 10:15 p.m. Separate But Collaborative: A Better Way To Collaborate As Councils Nautilus 3 | Program #009

When we think about governing councils, we should think of them as separate entities with specific roles, members, and expectations. Despite the differences amongst these councils, there are numerous opportunities for partnership. This session will first explore the areas of separation, before outlining successful examples of collaboration. Ultimately, while our councils may seem different, they are united by shared values and a vision for a better fraternity and sorority community. When we come together with the right opportunities, we enhance our ability to create change. Jason Hinson-Nolen, North-American Interfraternity Conference, jason@nicindy.org Jules Schenk, National Panhellenic Conference, julia@npcwomen.org

Recruitment: Just the Tip of the Panhellenic Iceberg Marina 2 | Program #010

Recruitment is typically what people think of when they think of College Panhellenics. But, recruitment is just one function of a College Panhellenic that is doing “Panhellenic” well! Join us for an interactive session to learn about the purpose of a College Panhellenic and how that purpose should shape the actions and activities your Panhellenic participates in on your campus. Carol Coordt, National Panhellenic Conference, carol.coordt@verizon.net Shaun Young, National Panhellenic Conference, shaunyoung@earthlink.net

Is This The End of Greek Life? Marina 3 | Program #011

As individuals, organizations, and a community, fraternity and sorority members have been unwilling and unable to change aspects of our structure and operations. Because of this, we are threatening our own self-destruction. In an ever changing culture, the environment of a more and more litigious society, and administrators and universities that are becoming less likely to allow for such risk to themselves, are we doomed to fail? Timothy Sirota, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, tsirota@sae.net Shay Stewart, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, sstewart@sae.net

Who Are We and What Do We Bring? Marina 4 | Program #012

Fully appreciating the individuals on your team and what they have to offer is essential to being an effective student leader. You meet with your council or chapter every week, if not more. How well do you really know the individuals you work with? Everyone's unique experience can contribute to success – including your own. Our lived experience affects the way we lead. This workshop is designed to offer you the opportunity to be a part of an exercise that helps you realize how your story and those of the people around you can create change. Additionally, we will provide you with the tools and program knowledge you'll need to take this workshop back to campus and use it to strengthen your teams.

Ed Block 2, 10:45 - 11:45 a.m. Dynamic Recruitment for Fraternities

How to "Get Caught Doing Something Good"

Dynamic Recruitment is the #1 recruitment system in North America, and the results chapters have gotten for the last 10 years while using this system have proven it! Our system allows fraternities to recruit higher quality men in higher quantities. Come learn the foundational philosophies of Dynamic Recruitment from the recruitment experts, Phired Up Productions.

Our members often feel a lack of acknowledgement and recognition for the great work they do in their chapters and communities. This session will explore why it is important to tell others about your organization and how you benefit the community. We will develop ideas of how to best share your successes with both your national/regional officers and campus staff. Come and share ideas for how to boast your successes and get “caught” doing good work.

Shaking Hands and Kissing Babies: Network Like a Boss Nautilus 2 | Program #014

One of the biggest selling points for joining a fraternity/sorority is the networking opportunities that you’ll have when you graduate. While this is very true, we never actually talk about how to engage in those conversations and miss out on a huge opportunity. As we know, the world is more about who you know than what you know. People get jobs because they know somebody who knows somebody. The art of small talk is dying because of social media. Decision makers in your future jobs didn’t have that growing up, and they still value good old fashion conversations. Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your new network. Note: also helps with recruitment! James Robilotta, CAMPUSPEAK / Iota Phi Theta Inc., jtrobo@gmail.com

Decision Making: Help I Don't Know What to Do! Marina 2 | Program #015

Do you ever feel like all of your options are good options? How do you decide the best choice when they all seem right? This session will explore how to make those tough choices when you have "right v. right" decisions to make in your leadership roles.

The Tribe Has Spoken: Unanimous Agreements 101 Nautilus 4 | Program #017

Unanimous Agreements are named as such because they are considered so basic to ethical and harmonious intersorority life that they are binding on every NPC member organization. With that in mind, can you say that your campus implements and follows every Unanimous Agreement completely? We know it’s difficult, so if you answered no, this session is for you! Come learn why the Unanimous Agreements exist and how you can teach your Panhellenic chapter members to implement and enforce them appropriately.

Dynamic Growth Strategies for Culturally-Based Fraternities & Sororities Seabreeze 1 | Program #018

Growth isn’t about giving away letters; it is about helping you find quality members and helping quality members find you. Organizations that want prestige, prominence, and a place atop the social ladder have only one way to get there: people. In this session, participants will experience growth strategies for culturally-focused groups based on human connection and a systematic social networking strategy. We know that the fundamentals to help ALL Organizations grow - not just fraternities or sororities - are the same. We'll share with you the core of what helps ALL organizations grow.

Fraternities are built on a foundation of brotherhood. However, how we display this brotherhood to the outside world is often very different from what our Founders would have hoped for. Our members often get caught up in in “proving” their manhood or loyalty through hypermasculine behaviors such as high-risk drinking and the objectification of women. Most of these are actions that not only misrepresent what fraternities are about, but also set low standards and expectations for our brothers. While our organizations are composed of diverse groups of men, we often do not explore the complexity of the male identity. This session will explore ways in which fraternities can shed stereotypes caused by hyper-masculine ideals.

Nothing good ever happens after you hear the words, “Can we talk?” or “I need to talk to you about something.” At that moment, you know you’re about to have a crucial conversation. When faced with a challenging scenario, there are two types of people: those who avoid them all together and those who tackle the challenge head on. This session will help you become a leader who isn’t afraid to have difficult conversations. In this workshop, you will learn strategies to help you initiate and navigate crucial conversations. You will put your new techniques to the test by reenacting crucial conversations you have had on campus with your peers. This session will give you the confidence you need to face any discussion head on.

More than a Recruitment Guide-Training our Recruitment Counselors the Right Way Marina 5 | Program #020

They've been called an educator of recruits, counselor of distressed students, monitor of recruitment activities, occasional bearer of bad news, coach, friend, mentor…the list goes on and on! Recruitment Counselors have to do it all, but often without the training and tools they need to be successful. Come sample the National Panhellenic Conference and Recruitment Boot Camp’s new Recruitment Counselor Training Program and learn how to best increase the skills of our Recruitment Counselors.

Inclusive Excellence, and Why Inviting Isn’t Enough Seabreeze 2 | Program #021

Inclusive excellence is the idea that community success is directly related to the value and engagement of its membership, including visible and invisible differences. When we consider the types of diversity beyond race and gender, how often do we check if our events, chapter meetings, and recruitment efforts (among other endeavors) include all students? This session is an opportunity to process the multiple identities of a person, how it has been addressing inclusion with student leadership, and what next steps you, your chapter, and your community can take towards inclusive excellence.

Redefining Sisterhood

Nautilus 3 | Program #023

Sisterhood is a term that gets thrown around a lot. Phrases like "we have the best sisterhood" or "our sisterhood is so amazing" can often be overheard during recruitment conversations, but have we ever stopped to think about what sisterhood is really all about? This session will explore some exciting new research, conducted by the presenters, related to how women define and conceptualize sisterhood, and how that definition impacts other areas of the sorority experience. Participants will have an opportunity to complete the Sisterhood Questionnaire and better understand how their own attitudes about sisterhood influence their experience, and how sisterhood can be improved at the chapter level.

Are you My Mentor? Creating Meaningful Mentoring Relationships through the Fraternal Values Society Marina 3 | Program #024

The topic of mentoring is often discussed but not always practiced to its full potential. Whether across Big Brother/Sister programs or happening between members and alumni, how can we be sure that successful mentoring is taking place in our organizations? Better yet, what does it mean to measure mentoring when creating a meaningful relationship? Throughout this session, you will learn the essential components of a mentoring relationship, how to make your mentoring culture renewable, and how to guide the impact of mentoring within your chapters. Gone are the days when we can just call someone our mentor. If mentoring is to succeed, we need consistency and congruence. We all know mentoring matters. But so does how we are mentoring. Let’s make mentoring significant together. Tim Mousseau, CAMPUSPEAK/Launch Point Solutions, timothy.o.mousseau@gmail.com

Ed Block 3, 2:15 - 3:15 P.M. Moving Scholarship Programs from Boring to Beneficial

No house, No Problem-Community Building 101

Across the country, we have chapters and communities struggling with GPA. Yet, what do we do to help? Study tables, library hours, grade report forms? If we want to become our community’s best academic organizations, we need scholarship programs that attract our members’ interest while catering to their unique needs as individual learners. Designing the perfect scholarship program requires time, flexibility, and creativity. Moving chapter-wide learning from passive to active is easy with the right tools. Attend this workshop to learn how to cultivate a culture of scholarship, engage your members, and build learning styles into chapter-wide academics.

Ever wondered how to strengthen sisterhood and brotherhood without a chapter facility or house? Join us as we explore the space of community building and collaboration without the house! Learn ways to promote sisterhood and brotherhood through deeper reflection on one’s values, shared experiences, and positive interpersonal relationships. Participants will engage in a dialogue and have the opportunity to share with one another.

Working Together-Building Unity Across Councils Marina 3 | Program #027

If the goal is to build one strong fraternity and sorority community, why are our councils not working together to achieve that goal? Too often, we view one another as not mattering (at best) or competitors (at worst). Creating community requires all of us together. This program will help participants navigate dynamics between councils. Join us to identify ways that all councils can partner together and, more importantly, why they should!

Recruitment Research Results Revealed Nautilus 1 | Program #031

Fraternities and sororities have existed for hundreds of years, yet there is still so much we don’t know about them. For example, why do people join? How do we get the best people to join? How do we keep the best people in? The research division of Phired Up Productions, led by Dr. Colleen Coffey-Melchiorre has been conducting intensive research over the last three years with chapters, inter/national organizations, and campuses to learn real answers to those three important questions. Now you have the opportunity to learn the results and how they can change the way you lead your fraternal experience! Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, Jessica@PhiredUp.com

Ed Block 3, 2:15 - 3:15 P.M. Redefining Brotherhood

Strong Relationships Lead to Success

Brotherhood can be thought of as the currency of fraternity. New members are buying it and chapters are selling it. But what is it? How do fraternity members define brotherhood? Does that definition impact other aspects of the fraternity experience? Most importantly, can fraternity members rethink brotherhood in a way that will add value and relevance to the fraternity experience? We think so. Redefining Brotherhood is an interactive workshop based on the award-winning research done by the presenters and will help fraternity members enrich their experience by understanding the true nature of the fraternal bonds of brotherhood. Participants will learn to define brotherhood, complete a self-assessment measuring their attitudes about brotherhood, learn about the ways that their attitude about brotherhood influences their fraternity experience, and will be equipped to improve the brotherhood in their chapters.

Every Chapter President, Council President, and other organizational leader desires to lead a strong, successful team. But, how is a strong team created? The leadership must work hard to involve all members in the process and to do that, the leaders must not only get to know their members, but develop strong relationships within. Guided by the Relational Leadership Model, we will discuss strategies that can be implemented within a chapter or council to improve its team-cohesion. We will focus on tactics to involve and empower members to strengthen relationships within their organizations and pursue success.

ed block 4, 3:25 - 4:25 p.m. Let's Talk About Including Transgender Members

Bad for Business: Unrecognized Groups

Across the nation, positive stories about transgender brothers and sisters being recruited and retained have made national headlines. Many questions remain on how to begin and continue the conversation of inclusion at the chapter level. This program will use a facilitated conversation to discuss the involvement of trans students in fraternity/ sorority life. Bring your questions, stories, and ideas that will develop chapters’ abilities to recruit and retain brothers and sisters that are transgender. Mary Kate Lobough, Sigma Sigma Sigma, region2.sss.adcs@gmail.com Juan Martinez, Colorado State University, juan.martinez@colostate.edu

The number of men's national fraternity chapters that are being closed for hazing, risk management violations, or repetitive negative behavior is increasing. That has created more unrecognized groups whose members quickly realize that being an outlaw group has its advantages. These groups are bad for our business, indeed. Reducing the influence of unrecognized groups or eliminating these groups at public institutions is difficult. Your presenters will provide practical recommendations for coping with these groups while emphasizing the positive aspects of university recognition.

Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities: How the Best of the Best are Growing

How to be an Effective Council Delegate

Marina 1 | Program #035

Nautilus 4 | Program #036

Growing in quantity and quality is not about blind luck. It’s a strategic, intentional, and holistic approach to growth. The best universities, businesses, and organizations in the world don’t wait for high-quality candidates to come to them. They consistently and strategically build a large network to selectively choose from throughout the year— whether formally through a large process or informally hand-selecting them. The best sorority chapters and communities are doing the same. For 10 years, Phired Up Productions has studied high-performing businesses, academic institutions, and sororities. The best of the best have some core philosophies in common that consistently result in high quantities of high quality people trying to get in. We’ll teach you exactly what they’re doing to attract, recruit, and select high quantities of high quality candidates. KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, KJ@PhiredUp.com

Size Doesn't Matter (I Promise) Marina 2 | Program #037

If your chapter is small, don't worry. There's still a lot that can be done. In this session, designed for chapter leaders overseeing active memberships of 25 or less, Sam Davidson will show why small groups can accomplish great things. Likewise, Davidson will share techniques and tactics for making sure your small group looms large on campus as is just as visible and effective as a chapter four times your size. Remember: it's not about the amount of people in your community; it's about the amount of community in your people. Sam Davidson, CAMPUSPEAK, ssdavidson@gmail.com

You Can't Be Kind of Pregnant Nautilus 2 | Program #040

Kristen Hadeed, a young entrepreneur who employs more than 500 people, believes that identifying values and committing to them is the most important part of the leadership equation. You know that your organization has values, but are you really committed to them? You either 100% commit to them or you don’t. You should be working to live up to these values every day and should demand that others do the same. In this session, Kristen challenges your organization to step it up. You aren’t a leader until you commit 100% to your values and make sure that your chapter does the same. Kristen Hadeed, CAMPUSPEAK, kristen@studentmaid.com

Navigating Sexual Assault Policies on Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campuses: What You Must Know

How many times have we seen chapters invest a lot on a campus wide diversity event, and the only people who attend were the ones who were already on board and celebraing diversity? This session will teach participants how to be more inclusive and broaden messaging to reach the people who need to be exposed to the ideas of social justice, diversity, and engagement. Along with the introduction of new marketing strategies and techniques, experience first hand the impact of practical inclusive programming that meets people where they are with a non-aggressive, open minded approach.

This presentation delves deeper in the conversation to identify the roots of fraternity inclusion in college. Using empirical data, media, and real life experience, the interactive controversial presentation will shed light on how to navigate through such questions that would allow better understanding of the LGBTQ community, NPHC fraternities and resources available to educate on an already taboo subject.

Participants will learn how to build better partnerships with their advisors and develop an effective advisory team, including how to secure more assistance and alumni for your chapter. The presentation will begin with identifying the needs of your chapter and a discussion on how to turn those needs into advisory support areas. The conversation will shift into ways chapter members can start conversations to get the greatest support. Finally, the presenters will share how to develop a covenant with each member of your advisory team.

Circle of Sisterhood: Sorority Women Removing Barriers to Education for Girls Around the World Nautilus 1 | Program #051

Sororities began to appear in the mid-1800s because of significant obstacles to women attending college. Sorority Founders bound together fiercely to fight for their right to higher education. Did you know there are places in the world where girls are still not able to achieve education? Today, sorority communities across the U.S. are engaged in a global humanitarian effort to remove barriers to education for girls – much like our Founders did for us. In this session, we will talk about what life was like for women on college campuses as the sorority movement began; the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women around the world today; and efforts by sorority communities to be part of a global movement to remove barriers to education for girls.

Achieving Values-Based Sorority Recruitment Marina 6 | Program #052

For years, sorority chapter and community leaders have been pushed to create a more values-based recruitment process. However, that request has left most of us wondering, “How?” Values-Based Sorority Recruitment can be achieved by focusing on four specific categories (behavior, criteria, conversations, and expectations) at both the chapter, community, and PNM level during the sorority recruitment process. We’ll discuss specific strategies, tools, and programs in all four categories that you can use to achieve Values-Based Recruitment in your chapter or community. Stop wondering “How?” and start asking “When?” KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, KJ@PhiredUp.com

Respectivity: Creating a Culture of Respect in our Chapters and Community Nautilus 2 | Program #053

When was the last time you were disrespected? How did you react and how did you feel? What about the last time your were respected and valued? What if you could help the members in and out of your organization to feel more of the latter? Research shows that people who feel greater levels of respect and value actually are more engaged, more productive, and can contribute more to the creativity of the organization. Learn the research behind Respectivity and why it’s much simpler than we ever knew, but very few leaders live it out. Maximize your Chapter/ Council, by maximizing your members with respect.

ED BLOCK 6, 10:45 - 11:45 A.M. #HowToBeLessAwkward

Making Sense of Mental Health: Curriculum for Chapters

Great communicators are charismatic and believable. Poor communicators are awkward and forgettable. In this program, former television personality (NBC, BET, Nickelodeon, E!) Antonio Neves stops poor communication in its tracks. Communicating with confidence can propel your college experience, career, and life in unimaginable ways. It will make you a better leader, help you form deeper relationships, and help you gain confidence. If your chapter or organization believes in you, you can better recruit and spread your message. If fellow students believe in you, you can spark social change. If employers believe you, they will hire you. And if you believe in yourself, anything is possible.

Mental health issues can be confusing for any chapter to deal with. It’s time to start a conversation about solutions to approach and support this crucial area of members’ lives. Ross Szabo and Zeta Tau Alpha partnered to develop and launch “Behind Happy Faces,” a widely scalable mental health curriculum that gives members tools to address mental health and create a positive environment in their chapters. This session will teach how to help members understand mental health and the barriers of why some don’t seek help, steps to create effective coping mechanisms, and how to help a friend in crisis.

Retaining and Engaging Our Members Marina 6 | Program #057

For many fraternities and sororities, nearly one of every five members QUIT - and an even larger number disengage at some point in their college career. The only difference between members who quit and members who disengage - is paperwork - they just didn't fill out the form. Retaining members to initiation is a major challenge on many campuses, but retaining and engaging them through graduation is our ultimate goal. There are several key strategies you can utilize to not only keep your members, but truly engage them! Utilizing exclusive data obtained through proprietary research on fraternity/sorority retention and our NEW Retention and Engagement program, this session will provide anyone interested in retaining and engaging their members with experiential strategies that can be applied throughout membership. Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, Jessica@PhiredUp.com

Real Talk with Culturally-Based Fraternal Organizations Marina 4 | Program #058

“Panhellenic doesn’t understand us!” “IFC never comes to our stuff…” “How are we so different?” – These are but a few comments tossed around when Culturally-Based Fraternal Organizations (CBFOs) engage in the fraternity/sorority community and face difficulties. This ‘brave space’ session will allow for chapters in CBFOs (for example NALFO, NAPA, and NMGC organizations) to dialogue about the development of positive practices in and for fraternity & sorority life. (Note: This is intended to be an affinity space for CBFOs and their membership to process, please be respectful of that.) Juan Martinez, Colorado State University, juan.martinez@colostate.edu

Crushing Rush

Nautilus 1 | Program #060

At some point during recruitment, we realize how shallow we are being. It’s not our fault we want the hottest people in our organizations. But, are we asking the right questions to differentiate all the pretty faces? Attracting the right people to your organization is an easily overlooked aspect of rush because we are so focused on winning over our "rush crush." So how do you get the best people? The ones who commit to the values of your organization and ensure fellow members uphold them too? The people with a vision for success, and a drive that pushes and makes others feel important? In this presentation, Kristen will divulge the secrets to getting the best new members so you can have the hottest new pledge class (both inside and out).

Once Upon a Time: Why Great Leaders Tell Stories Marina 2 | Program #061

To ensure long term success, the best leaders make sure to instill values and goals at every level of an organization. How can you become the kind of leader that identifies, cultivates, and inspires the next generation of leaders? In this energetic and humorous presentation, Sam Davidson will share ideas for ways that leaders can identify their own passions and talents and then share them with other team members in a memorable way. Based upon his own experience as an entrepreneur, author, and professional speaker - and drawing upon the wisdom of others - Davidson will share tips and strategies that will allow anyone to determine where to invest time and energy as a leader, how to share a leadership story that inspires, and how one can measure his or her impact as a leader.

Ed Block 6, 10:45 - 11:45 A.M. An Intentional Approach to Sexual Assault Education: The Violence Intervention & Prevention Program

45 Things You Can Be Doing Right Now to Improve Your Fraternity Community (#7 will shock you)

One in four women are survivors of completed or attempted rape while in college, 50% of sorority women experience sexual coercion, and 10.3% of college rapes happen at a fraternity house. These statistics are a few that illustrate the need for sexual assault prevention to be prioritized within our fraternity and sorority communities and higher education institutions. At the University of California, Irvine, the Violence Intervention and Prevention Program was founded on the idea that fraternities and sororities can come together in their community to educate themselves on topics of sexual violence and provide support to their chapter members. Through this workshop, professionals and student leaders will learn from an established sexual assault prevention program that is developed and implemented by the fraternity/sorority leaders. Participants will gain tangible tools to create a campus- or community-specific sexual assault prevention program.

This BuzzFeed style program will provide a rapid-fire snapshot of best practices from around the country with a focus on advancing your IFC Community. From discussions of Council activities that are meaningful to examples of relationship-building, these 45 one-minute-long steps will change your perspective on typical IFC activities. Through the use of extensive multimedia, this presentation is sure to engage you while promoting you to think creatively about changes you can be making back on campus.

He’s Not Gay, He’s in a Fraternity Marina 1 | Program #064

Sometimes we assume we are accepting of different sexual orientations and identifies, but in reality, some of our members are experiencing a never-ending hell they do not know how to articulate. In this workshop, you will explore your campus, community, and chapter cultures to assess the climate of acceptance for members who are openly gay, closeted, or questioning. We will also discuss how to change these negative cultures through awareness and ally programs. The session is designed for all sexual orientations who understand that, based on merely percentages, we all have members who are gay, bisexual, out, closeted, and questioning.

Building a 3D Community Marina 2 | Program #068

We live in a society in which women have access to many opportunities for education, empowerment, leadership, and success. Yet, in the pursuit of happiness, members, of all ages are often suffocated by the pressure to achieve a certain standard of perfection. As leaders, we can promote a community where beauty comes in all different shapes and sizes and focuses on health in mind, body, and spirit. This session will delve into some of the body image issues that plague our campus communities and discuss opportunities for change using concepts from BodyImage3D® and the Social Change Model.

How to Create Intentional Moments within Your Chapter by Asking One Question…Why? Nautilus 1 | Program #069

Typically, we help our chapters go from good to great by suggesting they simply do more. This reinforces a “checklist generation” of members that measure success by how many items they can check off their list. In this program, students will learn two concepts that will reframe what it means to be "great" and develop an enduring legacy that will sustain a chapter or council through many cycles of student leaders. Jim Collins' "Good To Great" and Simon Sinek's "Start With Why" will be utilized as the framework for powerful takeaways that will have an immediate impact when implemented on campus.

The Power of Habit

Marina 5 | Program #072

Every organization and community has habits. Perhaps your organization plans the same philanthropy event each year, or maybe you always partner with the same organization for events. Perhaps your entire community can’t seem to start meetings on time. Most habits form without us even realizing it. During this session, we will examine how habits play a role in our communities. We’ll learn strategies to help challenge and change habits and develop a clear action plan to change your community. This session will give you the tools you need to spark meaningful change.

Ed Block 7, 2:00 - 3:00 P.M. Extending the Possibilities: Does Your Campus Need Another NPC Sorority? Part 1

Product Knowledge: Talking About Sorority In a Compelling Way

Was there record breaking participation in recruitment? Are chapter sizes at maximum capacity for space on campus? Is a local sorority looking to affiliate with an inter/national sorority? Are campus enrollment projections continuing to increase? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, perhaps it is time to look into extension. Come to this program to learn the National Panhellenic Conference process for extension in addition to extension best practices. This session will cover how, as a council or Panhellenic chapter, you can support a new interest group or colony once your campus has decided to go through with extension. We'll also address how to handle a growing Panhellenic community. Mary Jane Beach, National Panhellenic Conference, advocacy@npcwomen.org Gina Kerley, National Panhellenic Conference, kerley5@cox.net

"Tell me about your sorority." How would your members respond? Talking about our organizations and the expectations of membership is an important part of getting women to join our sororities. Members need confidence and poise when they talk about their organization. What's more, they need to emotionally connect with PNMs and help them imagine what it's like to be part of the chapter. Further, members need to know how to handle the most common concerns PNMs have about joining. There are proven ways to do this effectively, and this session will reveal those secrets. In this session from the recruitment experts at Phired Up, participants will learn to prepare their sorority members with compelling, emotional, and inspirational methods of communicating the value and values of their organization to potential members.

Goal Setting and Goal Getting for the Leader

Leadership When Adversity Strikes - Hazing

Everyone wants to talk about goals, but it seems that very few actually have them. This workshop will spend some time talking about and setting goals... especially for you, the leader. This session is about discovering and acting in accordance with what matters most: our goals!

Lianne Kowiak, mother and hazing prevention advocate, shares in detail what happened to her son, Harrison Kowiak, when he died senselessly to hazing in 2008. Hoping to prevent another family from feeling pain and suffering, Lianne will update the audience on how she and her family raise hazing education awareness. She and other families fighting hazing have been to Washington D.C. to meet with members of congress, the US Department of Education, and volunteers for Hazing Prevention.org. Lianne's goal is to let the audience know hazing is very real and it can sadly lead to death.

Research is telling us that top employers don’t really care much what your academic major is, just that you have a degree; They don’t really pay attention how good your GPA is or what school you went to, either. What employers are really looking for from men and women coming out of college is leadership and social skills, the ability to engage in meaningful and thoughtful conversation, and a level of excellence in their social abilities. Well, that’s good news and that’s bad news – because as you many already have realized, you didn’t take a class called “Making Friends 101” in college. Don’t worry, your friends at Phired Up have all the stuff you’ll need to make a great impression, ace the interview, and land the job you want through a new level of Social Excellence.

A Leader’s Top Priority: Creating a Culture of Accountability Nautilus 2 | Program #089

Does it surprise you that a top priority for a leader is to create the culture of his/her organization? The existence of fraternal organizations is at a precipice due to poor decisions, inexcusable actions, and a disconnect from the values upon which they were founded. These behaviors are certainly not the majority, but we are all being held accountable. As leaders, you have an opportunity to redirect and truly create a culture of accountability that will help to sustain our organizations. In this session, you will learn the leader’s role in creating a culture that produces the results you desire and aligned with fraternal values. We will work through the steps to achieve a culture of accountability in your organization. Dr. Rebecca Herman, Winning Culture Leadership, Rebecca@WinningCultureLeadership.com

The Release Figure Methodology (RFM) may seem confusing, if you do not understand the purpose and goals behind its creation. Join the National Panhellenic Conference for a “peek behind the curtains” at the way RFM has revolutionized College Panhellenic recruitment! In this session you will learn the basics of RFM, how it benefits College Panhellenics and chapters alike and see what RFM looks like on the specialist’s end.

Student leaders are often stretched to the limits and pressured to achieve what seems to be the impossible. Based on the teachings of Dennis Perkins' book, "Leading at the Edge," this program focuses on leadership insights told through stories from groups of people who have pushed the limits of human endurance. By studying the edge, we can learn how to lead our chapters to their full potential and apply these principles when we are stretched, stressed, and challenged. Participants will learn nine strategies for leading at the edge and how to successfully apply them in chapter life and incorporate them into their own personal leadership style.

There will come a time when you are faced with choices that could mean success or failure for the human race…or at least your fraternity and sorority community. This session will take a look at the hit series The Walking Dead and lessons that can be applied to your community or your own leadership style. It’ll be a good lesson for your braaaiiiinnnss...

We spend much of our lives in fear – fear of being different, fear that we will be judged, or fear that we won’t be liked. We have to eliminate fear from our lives because fear hinders our ability to be transparent. Transparency is needed to lead our organizations and helps those around us know what we need. Transparency can create an environment of trust that is necessary to lead our organizations with confidence. In Will Work for Leadership, Sara gives tips and strategies on how to overcome that fear and create honest, open relationships with the members of your organization.

Ed Block 9, 4:20 - 5:20 P.M. How Do I Respond to That? Setting the Stage for Courageous Conversations within your Chapter

Advocacy through Dialogue: Fraternity and Sorority Campus Climate Program

Have you ever wanted to speak up and express how you think about something but were intimidated or not even sure of the right way to speak your mind? Through this session, you will learn the tools to effectively engage in “courageous conversations” to help clear up misunderstanding and build relationships. When done correctly, courageous conversations provide individuals with the courage to speak up in a non-confrontational way that respects others. These conversations create an environment for issues to be “put on the table,” discussed, and respectively worked through and handled. Such conversations take skill, strategy, and a sincere desire to do good. They call for courage. Join us to take the first step in beginning these conversations.

Recent culturally insensitive incidents across higher education institutions and fraternity/sorority communities have sparked the need to create intentional spaces to have conversations and support positive campus climates. At the University of California, Irvine, the Office of Greek Life and student government collaborated to develop the Campus Climate Series, an academic seminar offered specifically to fraternity and sorority members to learn about issues of identity, diversity, and multiculturalism. This workshop aims to share best practices learned through establishing a diversity education program created intentionally for fraternity/sorority members. Participants will gain the tools necessary to implement similar diversity initiatives that can empower fraternity/sorority communities and create social change.

Queer Greek Life: A Discussion about Queer-Based Sororities and Fraternities in the Greek Community Seabreeze 2 | Program #106

Campus Greek communities, while fostering noble values such as scholarship and service, have historically been heteronormative and cis-centric organizations who rarely open their arms to the LGBTQIA community. So, how is it that Queer- based sororities and fraternities are able to exist? This workshop seeks to bring together Queer and Ally Greeks to discuss this and other topics. Attendees should leave the workshop with an understanding of the importance of queerbased Greek organizations and information about providing support on your campus, insight into how Greek culture and Queer culture intersect, ways to support queer members in a nonqueer-based Greek organization, and tools to help create a more inclusive chapter environment.

Corey Ciocchetti Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic (Greek) Life

9:00 - 10:15 A.M. | Grande Ballroom

What is an authentic life? Can I live my foundersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; values and still have fun? Do Greeks have advantages that others don't? This inspiring discussion answers these questions in detail. Corey delves into Greek values to demonstrate that seeking contentment, positive relationships, and strong character are the keys to a more rewarding Greek experience and a happy life. This path to authentic success is contrasted to worldly successes such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Audience members leave ready to develop character, hone virtues, and set priorities. Corey focuses on how the Greek community is advantaged in values alignment because of the strong foundation instituted generations ago.
