welcome! On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, and the many volunteers of AFLV, welcome to Costa Mesa for the West Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Cultural Greek Leadership Conference! We hope this opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with fraternity and sorority members throughout the country will be beneficial, not only to you personally, but also to your chapter and Fraternal Community. This conference offers educational sessions that cover a range of leadership topics, as well as issues that impact the leadership and structure of our Fraternal community. Please make every effort to visit with our conference faculty; they are more than willing to share their experience. The 2012 conference has drawn attendees from many states to enhance skills and knowledge while becoming effective leaders. Also in attendance are international/national and province officers, as well as professional staff from many fraternities and sororities. Please take this opportunity to let them know how they can help your chapter/council. Another important aspect of the conference is the opportunity to interact with businesses that serve the fraternal market. Please take time to wander through the exhibit hall and introduce yourself to our Associate Members who have traveled a long distance to share their products and services with you. These individuals and companies are a very important part of our conference. Many of them are providing the educational content of the meeting, and several are major sponsors of the event. Please thank them for their time, energy, and financial investment. The conference staff hopes that you will take advantage of this conference experience by learning new leadership techniques, discussing personal ideas, and meeting peers and professionals in the Fraternal community. Take advantage of all this conference has to offer and have a great time! Do not hesitate to let us know how we can make your experience more enjoyable. Sincerely, The West Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Cultural Greek Leadership Conference Committee

Hotel Security The hotel does everything it can to insure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Should an emergency arise, please dial the operator from any house phone. This goes directly to the hotel security department who will dispatch the appropriate people to the scene. Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff or the WFL/NCGLC conference headquarters office located in the grand registration area for lost and found items. Meals The undergraduate conference registration includes the Friday Affiliation Luncheon, Saturday’s lunch, Saturday Banquet, and Sunday’s continental breakfast. The professional registration fee includes the Saturday’s professionals’ lunch in place of the student luncheon. 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 area. Meeting Locations All meeting rooms are within the Hilton Orange County Costa Mesa. Please refer to the schedule and cross reference the maps in the back of this book to find your meeting room. Nametags Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all conference events: education sessions, general sessions, meals, and all special sessions. If you lose your nametag you will be charged a $20 replacement fee. Promptness Please arrive to the educational sessions early or when the session is scheduled to begin. This will help the presenter and the conference staff make the most of everyone’s time. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Seating capacity is limited which is another reason to plan ahead and arrive early! Parking Parking arrangements are to be made individually with the hotel. The special parking rate for 2012 conference attendees is $28.00 per car per day with in and out privileges. If you have questions, contact the hotel front desk. Questions Questions should be directed to any member of the Conference Committee. They are easily identified by their nametags. Quiet Hours 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.

Conference registration is located in the grand registration area. All participants in WFL/NCGLC educational sessions must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametag at all times.
standards policy To ensure that all Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values 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. While the Head Delegates are responsible for the members of his or her delegation, it is expected that each conference participant read, understand, and follow conference behavior rules as well as appropriate federal, state, and local laws. The Head Delegate will be held accountable for the actions of members within his or her delegation. The members of the Conference Staff expect all conference attendees to respect the property and the rights of the hotel and its guests. Be advised that no alcohol is allowed to be brought into the hotel or to be consumed in public areas. Alcohol is not permitted at any conference event, including meals. Loud and disruptive music is also prohibited. The laws of the host state apply to all in attendance. After one warning, individuals violating conduct expectations may be asked to leave the conference and the hotel. Conference Staff reserves the right to send any individual or delegation home without any warning if the violation is deemed severe enough by the staff. Appropriate Head Delegates, university officials, and national fraternities/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 the Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values and eligibility to attend future conferences will be in jeopardy.

Come to the Bookstore There is a bookstore in the exhibit hall for you to pick up your favorite titles on fratenity/sorority topics. Many of the authors are here at the conference. How sweet would it be to buy their book and have them sign it? Pretty sweet, we think.
Buy some books. Lots of them. In fact, if you spend $100, we’ll give you the “16 Reasons Fraternities and Sororities are Relavent” poster for free. Yes! It’s straight from your all-time favorite AFLV blog post! If you just want the poster, however, you can buy it. We just think you could really use some books, too.
The AFLV Silent Auction supporting a cause you can believe in

A silent auction doesn’t literally mean you need to be silent, but the bidding process is different than traditional auctions. Take time to peruse the silent auction displays and if you want to win an item, write your wager on the bidding sheet... THAT’s the silent part! Since the auction is... well... silent, the key is to continually check on your item and continue to outbid your competitors. This isn’t Ebay folks! Waiting until the last second isn’t the way to play the game. So...
Bid High & Bid Often!
keynote speakers Making Greek Great Lori Hart Thursday, 7:30-9:00 p.m. Since the days of our founders, fraternity and sorority life has always been about one thing: building friendships. We all seek a place to belong and a place where we form friendships that will shape us and guide us throughout our lives. As long as we stay true to that purpose, fraternity and sorority is a powerful force for good on our campuses and in our communities. But, when we stray from that purpose, we get in trouble. We make the papers. People get hurt. Our image in society becomes toxic. Making Greek Great is as simple as being true to our principles of good friendship - giving young men and women a safe, nurturing place to become their very best.
Living the Dreams of Our Founders Rick Barnes Friday, 9:00-10:30 a.m. Today, there is fiery debate between advocates of the fraternity/sorority experience that those who feel it’s become more harmful than beneficial. Truth is, when we live up to the dreams of our founding fathers and mothers, our communities provide one of the best leadership and valuesbuilding experiences available to a young man or woman today. But, that takes a commitment to building diverse and relevant fraternities and sororities that work together to add to the campus and fulfill their stated missions. In this keynote, Rick addresses all the various groups that make up our rich community, challenging everyone to collaborate toward higher performance and standards for everyone who wears letters.
Calling all Greeks to the Floor Tish Norman Saturday, 9:00-10:30 a.m. A member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tish brings a powerful and influential new voice to the fraternity and sorority educational market. She motivates Greeks of all types, sizes, and traditions to enhance the quality of student life on and off their campus - contributing to the educational and personal development of their fellow students and making a real difference in their campus communities. Tish promotes diversity and unity by calling on fraternal organizations to recognize and embrace differences. In her keynote, Tish encourages fraternity and sorority leaders to choose their role models wisely and to become role models for the men and women who follow behind them.

featured speakers Friday 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Keep Friendship Alive Erica Upshaw “It’s fun to have fun but you have to know how.” - Dr. Seuss Let’s take an honest look into college party culture. When does harmless partying become substance abuse? How do you say something when you’re concerned about a friend? What’s the best way to respond to an emergency situation? Hear Erica’s tragic story of losing her “guy next door” brother, Joey, to an accidental drug and alcohol overdose while they were both members of the Greek community at Ohio State. Then be empowered. Erica will inspire you to bring positive change to your campus: Good Samaritan Policies, #GreeksStayStrong, and Keep Friendship Alive’s new program “UP” - college students inspiring middle schoolers. This keynote isn’t simply a story of personal loss. Let’s roll up our sleeves and make a difference.
Looking Through the Broken Mirrors: Understanding Eating Disorders Stacey Prussman In this program Stacey addresses the progression of her eating disorder and treatment through her own personal story. She’ll discuss the different types of eating disorders and the warning signs, and all the while, add a fresh, humorous twist to this serious topic. What are the effects of fad diets, crash diets, diet pills, and over exercising? How is the media’s intense influence on a slender body image brainwashing you? What is society’s reaction to the media? How can we not let the media influence us? What is a healthy body weight and how to maintain it without obsessing, dieting, and unhealthy eating patterns? These are just a few of the questions Stacey will address.
Making Greek Life Matter David Coleman It doesn’t take courage to “Go Greek,” it takes courage to be a “Great Greek!” This program will implore Greeks in America to “stand up” and become the type of people they know they can and should be. It is time for the fluff and rhetoric to end and for integrity and action to begin. We will cover treating people with dignity and respect, understanding what “true” friendship, brotherhood, and sisterhood really means, the stages of development every college student experiences, the five phases of interpersonal relationships, the five characteristics of healthy relationships and how to develop pictures in students’ hearts that fill them with amazing alumni memories.
Are You America’s Next Top Leader? Joshua Fredenburg Right now, 1 in 6 men and women in the United States between the ages of 18-30 are unemployed and the unemployment rate for college graduates is at the highest level since 1970. In this powerful and highly energized keynote presentation, Joshua Fredenburg not only talks about the importance of effective leadership in today’s job market and society, but he also provides emerging leaders within the fraternal community with specific leadership skills they will need to develop in order to become one of America’s Next Top Leaders. This program will not only enhance the chances of emerging leaders obtaining meaningful employment and career leadership success after graduation, but it will enlighten students on leadership skills that will enable them to become more effective leaders of their fraternal organizations and on campus.

featured speakers Saturday 1:45 - 2:45 p.m.
What Makes You Tic? Marc Elliott Two days after Marc was born he was diagnosed with a rare disease called Hirschsprung’s Disease. Though death was more probable than a life of quality, a surgeon saved his life. But, at nine, Marc was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome which manifested in various forms ranging from ‘ticcing’ inappropriate words to head convulsions. Expounding on his own disabilities and how people have reacted to and treated him, Marc gives audiences insight into the power of tolerance in a fun and easily relatable matter. Tolerance is the speech’s fountainhead - Marc provokes audiences to examine ways in which we make assumptions about others and will leave you with an open mind about how to best deal with those who are different. Marc’s speech encourages everyone to “live and let live.”
Sex Signals A Catharsis Production Colleges and universities have long grappled with providing effective sexual assault prevention programming. It’s a controversial, highly charged subject, packed with emotion and misunderstanding. Sex Signals presentation distinguishes itself by mixing improvosational comedy, education, and audience interaction. Sex Signals provokes discussions about dating, sex, and the issue of consent. Through a no-holds-barred approach, the show explores how social pressures, gender role stereotypes, and unrealistic fantasies can make social interaction a challenge. Although the message is a serious one, the show uses humor, engaging audiences in candid discussions about their beliefs and experiences.
Motivating the Middle T.J. Sullivan Your top third members are leading your organization and vigorously supporting its values and mission. Your bottom third is causing problems, as usual - checking out, behaving badly, and detracting from the values of your organization. Most of the energy in your organization comes from the constant battle between those at the top and those at the bottom. Where does that leave those members in the middle? You know who they are: the chapters or the chapter members who are generally supportive but who have other pressing priorities. They don’t ask for much and they don’t get much. T.J. will help you understand the secret to making real change in your community.
Ignite Fraternity The concept is simple. Ignite is a series of short talks, called SPARKS, with a twist. Each speaker gets five minutes and 20 slides to make their point and enlighten and entertain the audience. Learning by doing is key. This is where you come in. Speakers will have five minutes and 20 slides with each slide advancing automatically every 15 seconds to present their SPARK. SPARKS can address the audience on any aspect of fraternal life - Ritual, recruitment, it could be anything. The content of each SPARK is the opinion of the speaker; consider Ignite to be an open forum for ideas to be exchanged. Stick around until the end to ask questions or challenge ideas. Ignite is most successful with interaction!

Balboa Bay 2 During Educational Session Blocks 2, 3, and 4
How many times in the past year have you been faced with the challenge to help the organization you advise to come up with an activity or program to address an organization “problem”? How many meetings have you attended where you leave feeling as if all that has been accomplished is a dialogue about the problem and maybe, if you were lucky, a new project has been added to your plate? Have you ever wondered if what you are doing has actually made a difference or positively influenced the problem? Many of us have found ourselves in these situations and yet we cannot simply ignore the request or need to address concerns on campus or within our organizations. What we can do is use our professional skills and talents to find viable solutions and make real change. This professional development program is designed to help you meet those challenges of finding solutions and addressing problems on campus or within organizations. Using a strategic problem solving model based on the social science/public health models developed by the Higher Education Center for Alcohol/Other Drug and Violence Prevention participants will actively engage in designing strategic change initiatives that will address the REAL problem.
Session One: Prevention: Framework, Principles, & Understanding Contributing Factors
The framework taught will have useful application for task forces, work teams, standing committees, departments, and individuals faced with addressing behaviors, social concerns, and shifting campus cultures.
Session Two: What Needs to Change? Understanding and applying change strategies that will yield results
Motivations for engaging in high-risk behaviors vary from one person to the next, as do the motivations for changing or curbing those behaviors. Environmental management seeks to bring about behavior change through multiple channels, both promoting positive behaviors and norms and also discouraging high-risk behaviors. While environmental management encompasses a spectrum of programs and interventions from primary prevention to early intervention and treatment, it stresses the prevention of high-risk behavior through changes to the environment in which students make decisions about high-risk behaviors.
Session Three: What is likely to bring about the change? OR So why do we have this speaker?
Designing activities or tactics that will help bring about the change needed is often considered one of the easiest steps in the prevention process. However, unless we take the time to determine how we think our efforts are likely to bring about the needed change OR why we think they will – our efforts will be in vain. Participants will work through program design and be provided with a tool for evaluating current education and prevention efforts to determine the probability of their success.

Nice Cart. Where’s Your Horse?: Why the Values Conversation Must Be Your First Conversation. Emerald Bay 1
Do you spend a lot of time fighting fires with recruitment, social events, or member education? Before we can solve operational issues in our chapters, we must first get on the same page regarding our purpose and values. Participants in this session will explore the relationship between a mutual sense of purpose and heightened chapter performance. Participants will examine their personal behaviors and values in relation to the culture of their chapters and discuss strategies to recommit their organizations to the values they were founded upon. The session will also raise issues with current problem solving methods that do not consider ethics and purpose in their approach. Leo Glass, Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values
Building a Strong Multicultural Greek Council Emerald Bay 2
Fraternal organizations have been a core component of many campus communities for decades. Currently, there hundreds of social fraternities and sororities across the country; these include both general and culturally based organizations. Each and everyone one of these groups are represented by a governing council. With a very diverse campus culture and a large Greek community representing those students, it is important to provide our brothers and sisters with leadership development opportunities. This workshop is meant to re-awaken and revisit your personal values, leadership style, and reflect them to the values of your organization. Caitlyn Zang, San Diego State University
Greek Letter Organizations: Restoring Our Lost Luster! Reclaiming Our Legacy! Emerald Bay 3
This visionary, empowering, powerful, humorous, insightful, motivational and thought-provoking workshop takes a much needed “open and honest” look at issues impacting Greek letter organizations. Where are we? Where are we going? How do we get there? Do we evolve or become obsolete? Issues addressed in this interactive workshop include (but not limited to): leadership development, diversity, academic excellence, motivation, intake, brotherhood/sisterhood, relationships, self esteem, stereotypes, focus, attitude and much, much more. Interactive exercises strive to assist in honoring the legacies of our Founders and keeping us relevant throughout the 21st century!
Back to the Basics: Promoting the Value of Education Balboa Bay 1
Most contemporary sororities were founded in the 19th century because of very real obstacles to college. Our founders oftentimes were the first women allowed on their campus. Today, we are truly privileged and often take our education for granted. It is time to recommit to our founding values and focus on the joy and privilege of learning. This session will expose participants to the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women. We have a unique opportunity to fiercely bind together again to help those who are denied the right to an education; to fund those who do not have the means to afford an education; and to remove obstacles for those who value and love education. Ashley Dye, University of Illinois
Making Cents of Finance Balboa Bay 2
Do your members get the experience they pay for? Today it seems tougher and tougher to stretch every penny. This session will teach you how to properly plan, be innovative and creative and increase accountability. These tools can help you make cents of finance. Michael Wilson, Kappa Alpha Order
The Gift and The Curse: Young, Talented and Overextended® Laguna Beach 1
Although vision, motivation, ambition and hard work are the elements for success, they must be tempered with focus. Student leaders in Greek organizations recognize many problems within their community and often try to address them simultaneously. The result: an overworked, frustrated, ineffective and unfulfilled student leader. This interactive and engaging workshop helps students minimize obligations to maximize their performance. Students will learn strategies to prioritize their obligations, decrease their commitments, and ultimately increase their overall impact as a student leader. Throughout the process, they will also learn how to decrease student apathy by targeting different sections of the student body to increase overall participation.

A Real Sister; A Real You Laguna Beach 2
You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’re part of an elite club. Survived initiation, made your way to the top as a leader in your sorority—you belong. But, do you know who you are? Have you maintained your individuality or have you realized that somewhere along the path you’ve forgotten how to speak your mind and honor your desires? There’s plenty of subtle pressure in the sisterhood to act, dress, and communicate a certain way. But you can be part of the pack and still be yourself. Make your own decisions and take a stand when it’s important to you. Lori will show you how to ask for what you want, express yourself, and pump up the volume on your self-confidence. She’ll give you tools that will empower and last you a lifetime. Don’t just be a sister, be a real sister. Lori Hanson, Learn2Balance
New Liquid, New Container: Changing Chapter Culture Laguna Beach 3
We spend countless hours attempting to “turn things around” with chapters and the results are often disheartening. The usual tactics involve probation, threats and sanctions. Are there other ways to improve a chapter? We’ll look at changing the culture from the way we conduct meetings to the women or men that we recruit to having “that” discussion about the future of the chapter. Chapter culture must change if we are to succeed. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc.
12 Steps Towards Appreciating Diversity Newport Beach 1
Have you ever been misunderstood due to cultural differences?

Former MTV Real World star and diversity consultant, Mohammed Bilal, has helped thousands of people move beyond the sheer tolerance of difference. His 12 Steps Towards Accepting Diversity is a fun, interactive presentation tying scholarship, hip-hop, and self-reflective narratives that equip the participant with easy, valuable, and powerful tools for appreciating the wondrous diversity around us. Mohammed Bilal, The College Agency
A Leader’s Approach to Confrontation Newport Beach 2
Leaders have loads of responsibilities. Most of it is fun and offers an opportunity to excel as an individual. Some of it is also very challenging. Confrontation can be one of those. But, unfortunately, confrontation is often a part of effective leadership. In order to be a great leader we need to know how to confront effectively. So let’s talk about that. We’ll learn how you can apply your natural skills to confrontation but we’ll also learn a simple step-by-step approach to this difficult topic. This is a fun, interactive workshop.

You will learn definite points to look for in someone who is suicidal and steps on how to help them and the steps to recovery. Andrea Cooper, Kristin’s Story, LLC
Be the Life of Any Party… ALCOHOL FREE! Huntington Beach 1 & 2
Why do most people immediately turn to alcohol as a social lubricant at parties? Because alcohol is considered the acceptable, surefire way to become socially outgoing, accepted, and accountability-free. This session will teach you how to avoid the “pregame party necessity,” build up your social value, and hold effective conversations – without being drunk.

Values-Based Sorority Recruitment: How We Can Actually Bring Values Into the Conversation Catalina 1
We talk a lot about “values-based recruitment,” but most of us don’t really know how it’s different from what we are currently doing or how to do it.

What do keg stands, curiosity, Jager bombs, generosity, handshakes, and “the screw,” have to do with organizational success? This session will inspire you to maximize your interpersonal skills and organizational knowledge to build giant networks of friends, fans, and potential members. Be prepared to be dared, entertained, double-dared, and challenged to be the best version of yourself in an effort to attract a higher quantity of higher quality members to the greater fraternity/ sorority movement. The message behind this session is the key to Greeks becoming relevant again in the eyes of today’s students, administrators, parents, and communities. As soon as you walk in the door… Be Social. Be Excellent. Matthew Mattson, Phired Up Productions
Do Work Bristol 1
It is often the same situation year after year- you start off with a transition or officer retreat and end the year frustrated with the lack of action or results in your chapter/council. This session will provide attendees with a framework for chapter/council goal setting which, if followed, will guarantee results (maybe an award or two)! We will also engage in dialogue and sharing of ideas to jump start your planning process. Nicki Croly, California State University San Marcos
Judging a Book by its Cover: How Accurately is Your Image Representing Your Personal Brand? Bristol 3
All human beings judge and show bias. Although we shouldn’t, we judge the book by its cover more often than we should. It takes 15 seconds or less to form a first impression about a brand, a product, or a person. Consumer products companies spent enormous amount of time, effort, and resources to make sure their products have unique, attractive, appropriate, and inviting packaging. How do you present yourself to the world? Is your image aligned with the message you want to convey? This program challenges the subjective and opinionated way of approaching image. One’s image should be strategically designed and tactfully executed based on the audience and the environment he/she interacts with. Control your image and perception and ensure that you are delivering the right message about who you are and what you do. Jung Park, CAMPUSPEAK

An Unplugged Session With “The Dating Doctor”
Emerald Bay 1
Balboa Bay 1
Let’s face it: the image of Black Greek Lettered Organizations (BGLOs) has been greatly distorted during the last twenty years, partially because of the way they have been portrayed through pop culture. Movies, sitcoms, and even televised events that showcase BGLOs have either inadvertently or purposely made it appear that the focus of these organizations is entertainment, and not academic excellence, brotherhood/sisterhood and community service.This presentation creatively incorporates and blends music, history, audience participation and demonstrations, African traditions, and the mass media’s influences through pop culture to illustrate their evolution. Rasheed Ali Cromwell, The Harbor Institute
Multicultural Greek Roundtable Emerald Bay 2
Do you worry about issues such as engaging members at delegate meetings and not getting involved in the larger fraternity and sorority life community? If so, you are not alone. Participants in this session will connect with officers and chapter leaders of culturally-based Greek councils from other schools and to learn about issues and concerns they are experiencing. Time will also be given to share best practices and develop collaboratively solutions! Maricela Alvarado, California State University, Fullerton
Be Nice to People: Creating a Social Excellence Movement on Your Campus Emerald Bay 3
Participants at this session will have an opportunity to develop a social excellence strategy to help redefine what recruitment looks like on their campus. By implementing this strategy, individuals, chapters, and councils will have a fresh new perspective on how a positive attitude can affect their recruitment potential. Through adapting to a lifestyle of social excellence, which includes striving to “being the best version of you,” challenging others to do the same, and recognizing that it is cool to be nice, students will learn that they have limitless possibilities for recruitment success. Matthew Mattson, Phired Up Productions Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions
This is a truly unique program. Why? Because instead of the audience entering a session where they will learn what the presenter has chosen to teach them, the audience will dictate the topics to be covered and the manner in which they are addressed. Immediately after the participants assemble, a complete list of topics related to: dating, relationships, romance, sexuality and social networking will be created where no topic or social situation is off limits. If the audience can experience it in life or on campus, it will be addressed during this program. This is an honest, bare-bones session with the capacity to change the lives of everyone in the room and beyond. David Coleman, Coleman Productions, Inc.

Branding 501: Advanced Strategies for Greek Organizations Laguna Beach 1
Being a member of the fraternal Community provides students on your campus with more value than any other organization can possibly offer them. The problem is, they don’t realize this and arrive on campus with mostly negative stereotypes in their minds about what Greek organizations are all about. There is a huge disconnect between what your product offers and what people perceive it to be. Learn how to craft a killer brand for your community and each of your member organizations. By the end of this program, you will learn how to build an exceptional brand that aligns with your values and appeals to highquality potential members. Tom Healy, CAMPUSPEAK

This session presents appreciative inquiry as a tool for fraternity and sorority members to better understand the strengths of their chapters and use these as a foundation to build grow their organizations.

The topics cover a wide variety of information necessary from physiological effects to intervention techniques to legal responsibilities. It tailors the information to the specific needs and concerns of students, student organizations and universities.

Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities Catalina 1
We believe good recruitment happens 365 days a year and in a very consistent and strategic way. Recruitment happens everyday regardless of whether chapters give bids one time a year or all year long or if chapters participate in a formal recruitment process or do continuous recruitment both semesters. Dynamic Recruitment is the process we use to help sorority women conceptualize what good yearround recruitment is. It centers around a Names List – a list of every non-Greek woman they know and builds based on how we add more names to the list (make new friends) and take names off the list (turn our friends into members). This session is centered around teaching this process to the sorority women with examples, ideas, and resources – we tell you exactly what you need to do to grow your membership in quantity and quality – year-round. Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions
Dynamic Recruitment Advanced for Fraternities Catalina 2

If you want big recruitment results, you have got to put in the work, and this session will get you PHIRED UP to take on the challenge.

Not to mention the Voice, the Whiner, and the Blockade.

Forming ‘One Heartbeat’ Within Your Chapter Laguna Beach 2
What makes one chapter wildly successful while another struggles? What unites one chapter, while another seems splintered? Quite simply, it is the Attitude, Preparation and Effort of those involved. A chapter that shares One Heartbeat, understands that everyone has equal value and they work selflessly to provide the best overall experience possible. Conflict is replaced by cooperation. Doubt is replaced by certainty. Praise yields to humility.

The next morning, three of the men were dead, and Mark lay in the hospital critically injured and facing three felony counts of DUI manslaughter. Instead of being the first in his family to graduate college, Mark ended up the first member of his family to go to prison for his role in the tragic death of his three friends. Mark helps students realize that the simple choice they make, like drinking and driving, can cause an everlasting impact on their friends, families, and themselves. Mark Sterner, CAMPUSPEAK

How to implement the Six Basic Lenses of Success to achieve authentic success. 3. Why authentic success always involves doing something beyond yourself and fighting for a cause. 4.

Redefining Traditions in Our Fraternity and Sorority Communities Fountain Terrace
Whether historical or recent, fraternity and sorority traditions build the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood in our chapters. Some traditions are complex and others are smaller, but they bring students together in a sense of belonging, brotherhood, and sisterhood. When tradition is done right, it’s one of the best things about fraternity or sorority life. Unfortunately, on some campuses and in some chapters, negative traditions based around abusive behavior or stereotypes have started to define us. This program will help you understand why tradition is so powerful and important while challenging you to shape chapter traditions around the very best values of their organizations. Dr. Mari Ann Callais, CAMPUSPEAK

On most campuses there are members of fraternities and sororities who WANT to forward the values conversation within their community, but don’t know where or how to begin. The Fraternal Values Society exists to provide a home for that conversation, to provide voice to the values movement, and to create a sustainable network within each fraternal community for those who want their fraternal experience to be representative of the founding fraternal/ethical values of our organizations.

Mari Ann offers fun, relaxed and upbeat keynotes that help fraternities and sororities understand how their values, and values of their organizations, can shape their daily choices and guide them to success in all areas of their lives.
Using her brother’s death from drugs and alcohol as a catalyst for change, Erica believes the very best expression of friendship on a college campus is taking action to keep friends, brothers, sisters, teammates and roommates safe.
Most of the energy in your group comes from the constant battle between those at the top and those at the bottom. Where does that leave those members in the middle? T.J. helps you understand the secret to making real change in your groups.
