welcome

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, and the many volunteers of AFLV, welcome to Indianapolis for the Central Fraternal Leadership/National Black 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 2013 conference has drawn attendees from more than 25 states to enhance skills and knowledge while becoming more effective leaders. Also in attendance are inter/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 at 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 Central Fraternal Leadership/National Black Greek Leadership Conference Committee

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.

keynote speakers All Leadership is Social

Phired Up Productions: Jessica Gendron Williams and Matt Mattson Thursday, February 7, 7:00 - 8:30pm As technological connections increase, face-to-face relationships can suffer. Yet, our ability to be more “social” will define our ability to lead. Fraternities and sororities are perfectly designed and positioned to breed the world’s greatest social leaders. “Social Excellence” is the most important factor leading to success in life, business, and relationships. By embracing the social component of our fraternal identity, our organizations can move beyond relevance and become deeply significant to the world.

Learn first-hand from Matt Mattson and Jessica Gendron Williams, the authors of the new book “Social Excellence: We Dare You, How Handshakes Can Change the World,” how the conversation about fraternal relevance is shifting. Watch the #betheperson movement catch on in real time, and immerse yourself in a Social Excellence lifestyle that will help you find the way you’ll impact the world.

Buy In or Get Out

David Stollman Friday, February 8, 9:00 - 10:30am Too often, good leaders and good chapters are not able to succeed because they are too busy cleaning up after the ones that don’t get it, fixing their problems, or fighting their negative image. Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

David will say what you wish you could. Let him confront them in his funny, interactive, and moving style. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of Fraternity and Sorority Life--friendship, service, leadership, and scholarship. He will challenge your members to embrace the best and get rid of the rest. It will touch on topics that range across all major issues facing today’s members.

Calling All Greeks to the Floor Tish Norman Saturday, February 9, 9:00 - 10:15am

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 campuses--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 Greek-letter organizations to recognize and embrace differences. In her keynote, Tish encourages fraternity and sorority leaders to choose their role models wisely and become role models for the men and women who follow behind them.

Hazing Makes You a Better Greek and Other Stupid Myths Michelle Guobadia NBGLC Luncheon, Saturday, February 9, 12:00 - 1:30pm

To this day, there are many misconceptions about the practice of hazing and how it adds value to a fraternity or sorority chapter. Have you ever heard that hazing helps bulid brotherhood and sisterhood or that it weeds out the bad apples?

With her refreshing attitude, Michelle speaks with enough courage to debunk what some may deem “traditions” of new member recruitment and education. She speaks from experience, not only as a sorority woman who has been hazed, but as someone who actively took part in these harmful traditions and believed this behavior was an important part of her sorority experience.

The Greek Life Comedian

Evan Wecksell CFL Luncheon, Saturday, February 9, 12:00 - 1:30pm Often compared to comedic superstars Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, Evan’s act is a blend of comedy and music that celebrates the college experience, endorses internet addiction, and lampoons bad music.

Selected “Hot Comedian of 2009” by Campus Activities Magazine, Evan’s comedy has been played on radio stations all over the world. His first album, LOL, came out the following year through Uproar Entertainment. Evan is most recognized from his appearances on such pop-culture shows as VH1’s “I Love the 80s” and E! Television’s “30 Most Outrageous Celebrity Feuds.”

From Ritual to Reality

Mari Ann Callais Sunday, February 10, 9:15 - 10:30am Using music and storytelling, Mari Ann offers a truly unique keynote about values, ritual, and the responsibilities of being a lifetime fraternity or sorority member. For nearly a decade, she has built a legion of admirers with her fun, upbeat keynotes on fraternal values. Fraternity and sorority communities have asked her to campus to discuss the importance of community service and ritual with new members. She is among the more popular retreat facilitators in the country. As the past president for Theta Phi Alpha fraternity, Mari Ann offers a unique blend of local and national perspective on sorority issues and has helped numerous Panhellenics deal with the issue of sorority hazing.

featured speakers Friday, February 8

10:45 - 11:45am Motivating the Middle White River E Let’s face it. Members of your organization are engaged at different levels. Some are highly engaged: running for office, showing up to everything. Others are modestly engaged. And some barely show up, or spend all their time complaining or causing drama. You have to lead them all, and you will save yourself a lot of stress if you learn how to lead them based on these levels of engagement. T.J. will reprise his 2012 CFL keynote based on his best-selling book, “Motivating the Middle.”

T.J. Sullivan

Sorority Councils Across the U.S. Are Having a Global Impact on Girls’ Education White River F Most sororities were founded in the 19th century because of obstacles to women achieving a college education.

Sorority founders bound together fiercely to fight for their right to education. It’s time to recommit to our founding values and focus in a different way on this education fought so hard for by the earliest sorority women. Institutions expect that students will graduate with an appreciation of cultural differences and a global perspective. This session will expose participants to the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women around the world and a national movement by sorority women to positively impact our global community by removing barriers to education for girls. Let’s fiercely bind together again to help those who are being denied education today.

Circle of Sisterhood

2:00 - 3:00pm Inspire Integrity: Chasing an Authentic Life White River E

Corey Ciochetti

Open up a newspaper and read about billion-dollar financial scandals, corrupt executives and government officials, and academic plagiarism and dishonesty. These scandals occur in part because wisdom is not inherited or genetic--hard work and dedication are required in order to be wise. As we strive to become a bit wiser, it is important to break wisdom down into its components. Becoming a person of wisdom requires, first and foremost, acting with integrity. Integrity can be defined as how we act when nobody is looking and how we treat people who cannot do anything for us. Before undertaking any wisdom-producing activity, such as obtaining professional knowledge, each of us should determine what it takes to live a life full of integrity and then make it happen.

Bullies Versus Leaders: When Will You Take Back the Village Square?

White River F The headlines continue the trend for our fraternities and sororities ... and it wasn’t positive. We saw more hazing, racial issues, risk management violations, stupidity, frat or sorostitute behavior, and party themes that reflect the worst side of our organizations. Sadly, those were often followed by endless justifications because “We raise money.” NOPE. And saddest of all—we’re not talking about a majority of our members. Just the loud and often profane few: the bullies. They act, speak for, and define us. When will you—our leaders and leaders-to-be—find your feet and voices? When will you begin to redefine yourselves, your chapters, and your communities? If you think we’re doing just fine as a community, then don’t come. If you need or want motivation for change, then please attend.

3:20 - 4:20pm Shattering the Silence of Sexual Violence White River E Kidnapped in the broad daylight at the age of 17 from a shopping mall parking lot, Angela recounts her experience of being bound in a paroled murderer’s car and her fight for justice that followed. Working with her attacker’s previous victims, Angela turned a suburban community into a group of proactive citizens, culminating with the passage of the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act in Illinois.

Focusing on how men and women can mutually be part of the solution, Angela empowers audiences to make changes in their communities. Her presentation will leave you with tangible tips on how to be a supportive friend and partner as well as tools and resources to have ongoing education in the community.

Make Room for the Elephant

White River F

The campus climate is changing constantly and before you know it, you may be sitting next to someone in your organization that is different than you. Sure, you may share the same vision for your fraternity or sorority, but what about the same race, religion, or sexual orientation? Make for the Elephant encourages student leaders to embrace diversity through relationship building, mutual understanding, and positive interaction. A great keynote for any organization looking for powerful ways to address diversity.

Rick Daniels

4:40 - 5:40pm Girls Fight Back!

White River E Girls Fight Back teaches college women the basics of personal safety and self-defense, in a most hilarious way.

Founded after the murder of Shannon McNamara at Eastern Illinois University, Erin Weed knew there must be a non-Debbie-Downer approach to learning how to avoid sketchy situations. You see, you don’t have to be scared or paranoid or rely on your guy friends to protect yourself from creepers. You can live your life - no apologies - by knowing some simple and practical strategies. Delivered in a fun and “edu-taining” format, GFB has been seen by over ONE MILLION women since 2001. At GFB shows, you’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kick some booty.

Check Your Leadership Ego White River F

James Robilotta

Hey student 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 human to your followers. In this manner, you 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 the greater the influence you can have on one another. Rather than dwelling on cliché leadership topics and merely reaffirming leadership talents, this program drives past all that and pushes students to bring their leadership skills to a level that they hardly considered, yet is easily within their grasp.

3:00 - 4:00pm Beyond Yourself: Building Collaboration in the Greater Fraternity/Sorority Community White River E Many different perceptions of fraternities and sororities exist on campus. One major perception is that fraternities and sororities are merely competing to see who can be the best. What if there was a transition from pure competition to purposeful collaboration? What if instead of fighting each other, we fought with each other to make a positive impact on campus?

Justin Jones-Fosu

Learn about building a lasting legacy in the fraternity/sorority community, avoiding bad collaboration, seeing beyond individual organizations to see a larger community, and improving the overall fraternity/sorority perception. This session will lead you Beyond Yourself!

Everything You Want is on the Other Side of Fear!

White River F If your goal is success, you will be challenged: mentally, verbally—maybe even physically! Choose to have courage—the righteous willingness to stand up to anyone or anything that can harm you! Fear is a war happening in your mind! Stop choosing to lose! As former police officers and academy trainers who study peak performance secrets and moral strength of FBI agents and Navy SEALS, the Gardners teach proven, effective self-control strategies, the “theatre” of power, verbal “talk-down” skills, and in a worst-case scenario, how to fight RIGHT … in one word! Learn your legal rights including: Strike first! The Sandy Hook tragedy proved once again: Heroes aren’t born, they’re cornered! Get ready to Power Up and learn why “LOVE” is the Answer!

Mike & Debbie Gardner

4:20 - 5:20pm Making Greek Great White River E Since our founding days, fraternities and sororities have always been about one thing: building friendships. 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.

Lori Hart

Every day, our members choose how to use your membership in a fraternity or sorority. Do you use it for selfish purposes or build up others? Do you bring honor or disgrace to your university? Most of all, does your community set a standard for members that inspires them to become something better?

The Dating Strengths White River F

This program has been described as “realistic” and “very relevant for college relationships.” The skills required to optimize your social life are too important to be learned by trial and error. Using humor and his very personal story, Aaron illustrates the principles that help us avoid the worst and experience the best in dating and relationships, including the physical aspect. Learn common mistakes and turnoffs to avoid, and which common misconceptions can ruin physical intimacy. Understand the key ingredients of a healthy relationship, how to identify warning signs of trouble ahead, and how to help a friend who is in an unhealthy relationship.

Educational Sessions There are nine blocks of educational sessions throughout the conference. All conference attendees are invited to attend any session in which they have interest. However, we’ve taken an extra step to identify sessions that have content that is targeted specifcally for NPHC fraternity and sorority members with the NBGLC emblem.

preconference programs Thursday, February 7, 3:00-6:00pm

CROSS-TRAINING: Building LGBT Allies Within Fraternities & Sororities Shane Windmeyer, Executive Director/Founder, Campus Pride

shane@campuspride.org

Recommended for: Undergraduate members who are/who want to become LGBT allies It only takes one individual to stand up and begin transforming your campus culture. Taking the power of recognized leaders on campus and then training these students to be effective advocates against bias, bullying, and harassment on campus can have an immediate impact on overall safety and a greater sense of community. This Cross-Training preconference is part of Campus Pride’s larger national program that trains participants to be effective allies and delves into teaching the values of social justice leadership. Challenge yourself and then begin to tackle the boundaries that have traditionally limited building effective allies on campus within fraternities and sororities.

As a result of participating in this session, participants will be able to: • Understand what it means to be an effective ally • Learn valuable resources to create safer fraternity and sorority communities • Take action to be a change agent within your campus community

The Intake Equation for Multicultural Greek Letter Organizations

Sam Centellas; Sigma Lambda Beta, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., and Outsight Consulting

sam@centellas.org

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of culturally-based fraternal organizations Intake, Recruitment, Orientation, Rush, Informationals ... the list goes on. Whatever you call it, want it to be, think it is, or other people think you do, we need to talk about it in an open honest format. What are the issues facing MGC groups when it comes to bringing in new members? What issues do you face from the administration?

Participants in this program will learn strategies to help their organization align its values and activities to grow positively to the next level. We will discuss organizational branding (with marketing, not irons) and methods to ensure that your message and purpose are aligned and your organization gets the respect it deserves.

Optimizing the Legitimacy of Your Interfraternity Council North-American Interfraternity Conference

Jameson Root, Director of Student Affairs, root@nicindy.org Andy Huston, Director of Member Services, andy@nicindy.org Will Foran, Vice President of Education, foran@nicindy.org

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of NIC/IFC fraternities In this interactive preconference session, the NIC staff will work with IFC leaders and advisors to provide an overview of the proper purpose and role of a highly functioning and legitimate Interfraternity Council. We will do this by identifying the key functional areas for optimal operations and effectiveness as well as providing and justifying specific practices, procedures, and policies. Participants will leave this session with specific focal areas for tangible improvement.

For maximum benefit, we will ask participants to share a copy of their current constitution with the NIC prior to the session. Participants should also bring a copy of their current IFC budget.

As a result of participating in this session, participants will be able to: • Identify and articulate the focus areas of successful IFC operations • Develop a broad-based plan to align these principles with IFC operations • Better serve the advocacy and educational needs of their fraternity and campus communities

Advancing Sorority Together National Panhellenic Conference

Julie Johnson, College Panhellenics Committee Chairman, jjohnsonkd@aol.com Caitlin Moulton, Panhellenic Support Coordinator, caitlin@npcwomen.org

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of NPC organizations We all do better when we work together. There are many partners fighting for the betterment of fraternity/ sorority life; yet, sometimes it seems so hard for us to get on the same page. This session will provide attendees the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the work of the National Panhellenic Conference with particular emphasis placed on communication and working in partnership with NPC Area Advisors, sorority headquarters and fraternity/sorority advisors. We will also discuss the multitude of resources available to our College Panhellenic women, ranging from hard copy handbooks to programming and services.

The Intake Equation for NPHC Organizations

Michelle Guobadia; University of North Carolina at Charlotte, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc. mguobadi@uncc.edu

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of NPHC organizations This interactive session will touch on the core challenges faced by members of NPHC organizations. It will challenge student leaders to action and give them the confidence and urgency necessary to make significant change at the grassroots level. Students will learn how to shape their memberships in a manner consistent with the mission and values of their organizations and will be challenged to consider how to effectively bring in and retain good members all while being true to the traditions and values associated with NPHC organizations. Our hope is that through participation, students will enhance the value of their organizations to both internal and external communities and cultivate a more positive image for their community as a whole through substantive action.

Evening Edutainment David Coleman: The Dating Doctor Thursday, February 7, 10:30-11:30pm Grand Ballroom

After the texts, tweets, Instagram pics, pokes, chats, and e-mails are over, a couple will ultimately have to meet face-to-face if they want things to progress farther. Then, they must rely upon the interpersonal skills they have (or have not) developed and rely on the experience (or lack thereof) they have from previous relationships. Changing your Facebook status to “In a Relationship” is a far cry from actually being involved in one. Interacting in person with a potential love interest is becoming harder for people as much of their initial contact is online. 13-time National Campus Speaker of the Year David Coleman will show you how to form and mend healthy relationships.

Ignite Fraternity #5 White River C/D | Friday, February 8

Ignite Fraternity #5: 2:00-3:00pm (Educational Block 3) Ignite Fraternity #6: 3:20-4:20pm (Educational Block 4)

Fraternity

The concept is simple. Ignite is a series of short talks, called Ignite Talks, with a twist. Each speaker gets 5 minutes and 20 slides to make their point, enlighten, and entertain the audience. Each slide will automatically advance every 15 seconds. Learning by doing is key.

Ignite Talks can address the audience on any aspect of fraternity - ritual, recruitment, anything. Speakers will not be allowed to go longer than their alloted time and must participate in a dress rehearsal on site.

Preregistration is required to participate in Ignite Fraternity, but all attendees are encouraged to come watch Ignite Talks.

Stroll Competition Grand Ballroom Friday, February 8, 9:00pm-12:00am NPHC organizations were built on principles that reflect the high moral standards and expectations bestowed upon us by our National Organizations and the National Pan-Hellenic Council.

The NBGLC/CFL Stroll Competition shall reflect quality, decency and overall fun. Where there is unity, there is strength.

Preregistration is required. Tickets to watch the Stroll Competition must be purchased for $5 per person. Please stop by the registration table to purchase tickets if they are available.

Thursday, February 7 Block 1: 8:45 - 9:45pm Doing More with Less: A Leaders Survival Guide Room 301 Do you find yourself having to do more and more with less and less? Is your organization having to work with less money, man/ womanpower, or both? Are you tired of wearing multiple hats and doing everything?

As a leader you have to find a way to “get it done,” and that can be stressful. Based on four core principles, this session teaches participants how to get results in a world where resources are dwindling. Session participants will leave with an understanding of how to create and maintain a positive chapter culture, how to effectively network, how to negotiate their way to improved circumstances, and most importantly how to prioritize, organize, eliminate and shift workloads to maximize chapter success!

Library Hours: You’re Smarter Than That Room 101/102 Not everyone in your chapter/council has the same learning style, so why should you create a scholarship plan that treats everyone the same? The session begins with an assessment of attendee learning styles and the academic environments created by your chapter/ council. Facilitators offer several approaches to scholarship and academic remediation that go beyond the traditional “library hours.”

Each approach is built on scholarly research about college student performance. Create the best scholarship plan your chapter/council has ever had and complete the process with an implementation strategy based on positive reinforcement.

Social Justice: The Act of Responsibility Room 103/104 It is often easy to put the blame on other people. We forget that while pointing a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. In this session, you will reflect in a non-traditional way as you analyze a situation that has many aspects to consider.

We will explore a story that will challenge you to reconsider your assumptions. Whenever a life is altered, is it one person’s fault? Or are there multiple stakeholders? Let’s find out as you and your peers work together to understand and relate to a story with a social justice background. (#4) Mindy Sopher, North Carolina State University, mindy_sopher@ncsu.edu Joslyn McGriff, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, jmcgriff@pikapp.org

This session will also help you with ideas and resources on how to develop a healthy alumni/ae relations plan that is beneficial for both the collegiate chapter and for the alumni/ae members.

Game Changer: Using the Fraternal Values Society as a Catalyst for Change Room 205 Launched in 2011, the Fraternal Values Society is a student organization that illuminates the central values that guided the historical founding of general fraternities and sororities and incorporating these values into the contemporary fraternity and sorority experience.

Grades Anatomy Room 208 Academic achievement is a core value of our fraternity/sorority communities, but there is never enough time to critically dissect the issues surrounding the topic.

This interactive program is geared towards campus-based professionals who wish to view their community’s academic progress through a new lens. (#9) Jennifer Jones Hall, Gamma Sigma Alpha, director@gammasigmaalpha.org Mary Beth Seiler, University of Michigan, mbsei@umich.edu

Are You LEADING With The RIGHT RELATIONSHIP Partner?

Room 313 A past survey on relationships discovered that 95% of people have a strong desire to find that right relationship partner. Ironically, although there are many potential candidates for men and women, the reality is, finding the right relationship partner in the 21st Century can be difficult and challenging at times.

In this energetic, fun, and exciting program on leadership and relationships, Joshua not only provides you with specific relationship strategies that will enable you to avoid toxic relationships as a leader, but he highlights five key questions that every leader should consider before they engage in a serious relationship partner. Each of the five questions discussed in this presentation are taken from Joshua’s newest book on relationships, 50 Questions Before YOU Say, “I Do”!

However, do you ever get frustrated by not taking an action to live out your values and intervene in a situation that you know is problematic? What about when others do the same?

Moving from Talk to Action: Scholarship Plans that Work Room 109 A universal value of fraternities and sororities is scholarship. We pride ourselves on holding our members accountable to academics, lifelong learning, and engagement in and out of the classroom. However, too often our words do not reflect our actions and we find our chapters’ scholarship falling short. Developing an effective scholarship plan takes hard work, intentionality and a willingness to implement change. Learn how to create and implement a comprehensive, year-long scholarship plan that will provide true opportunities for academic engagement.

Plan creation, program development and implementation, sustainability and follow-up and utilization of campus resources will all be discussed. (#17) North Carolina State University Kiley Moorefield, greeklifegrad2@ncsu.edu Megan Brower, greeklifegrad1@ncsu.edu Tonia Salas, greekliegrad3@ncsu.edu

Everything I Know, I Learned Through a Skit Room 307

Student leadership is a wonderful part of the college experience. There are opportunities for personal and professional growth, an ability to make a positive impact on others, and potential career opportunities. But is it possible for a student to be too involved?

Students will learn three key tools that will help them build their rsums, downsize commitments, and prioritize their time. (#15)

Fraternity and sorority students love skits.

We see them in recruitment, Greek Week, courting, you name it. However, we very rarely see skits utilized in educational programming.

Come learn how a campus fraternity and sorority community used theatrical performances to tackle topics like sexual assault, risk management, and masculinity while increasing attendance and excitement around educational programming. You too can educate through skits! (#18)

Pledging your Ritual ... Using Values to Teach New Member Education Room 109 The ritual teachings of our values are the most sacred component of our fraternal organizations; yet, we don’t learn what they mean until we are initiated. What if our new members understood the values before they were initiated? What kind of members would we have if we stopped memorizing our history and instead learned its significance? Learn how to incorporate the values of your organization through stories and lessons to raise the caliber of your new member education program. You will view how to educate your new members differently and learn ways to initiate members who understand why your organization was founded and what you stand for before they ever take the oath of lifetime commitment.

This program will also give you methods to create a recommitment to your ritual program with your active membership. No rituals are revealed in this session. (#20) Alex Snowden, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, asnowden@iupui.edu

How To Use Your Student Involvement In The Real World Room 301 So, you are a highly involved student on your campus. You joined a fraternity or sorority, and that was only the beginning.

6-Figure Salaries and 6-Pack Abs: What our Generation is “Entitled” to & how to Get It White River C & D You’ve probably heard older folks refer to today’s generation of college students as the “entitlement generation.” Maybe you find that label unfair and inaccurate.

TRAPPED: Escaping Status Quo Room 106

Reaching Your Panhellenic Potential Room 103/104

Ever wonder why your council or chapter does the exact same program every year, even if it was unsuccessful? Ever hear someone say “Well last year we…” or “we’ve always done it this way”? If so, you may be in the Status Quo Trap! As a leader it is easy to find yourself trapped by the fear of change and wandering in a maze of confusion trying to create transformative change. Many will blame the organization, but the largest barrier to change may just be oneself. We will challenge you to explore what is holding your organization from changing, provide you with steps for creating change, and motivate you to not only make change in your organization, but also in your personal life. (#36)

“Just Say Yes” Utilizing a Harm Reduction Philosophy Room 101/102 When you spend time going over your council, campus, or organizational policies, do you focus more on what can’t be done than on what can? A harm-reduction model explores emphasizing the negative consequences associated with high-risk activities, as opposed to highlighting “the rules.” A creative method to managing risk within the confines of FIPG or organizational policies exists. We’ll look at best practices that take a creative approach to education, prevention, & accountability.

Sisters, Sisters, There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters!

Room 105 Chances are you are in a sorority with over 50 women. Not all women will be your best friends, some may not even be your friends! You may wonder how they came to be in your sorority and struggle with how you can be a good sister to them. When faced with a conflict, how can you support them, even if you may disagree with their actions or behavior? How can you stay true to the values of your organization when supporting a sister? How can those relationships grow stronger in the process? If you have ever asked yourself these questions or have found yourself in a tough situation with a sister that you may not have been close with, learn how you can play both roles and grow as a sister and a “champion in their absence.” (#37) Holly Mittelmeier, John Carroll University, hmittelmeier@jcu.edu Jennifer Pierce, Ball State University, jmpierce2@bsu.edu page 31 #CFLNBGLC

YOLO (You Only Lead Once) Room 304/306 While leaders exist within any campus initiative, often times, members only get one chance to be president, event chair, or council coordinator.

Improving the Climate for LGBT Students in Fraternity and Sorority Life Room 309/310 Building a climate of acceptance for LGBT people in fraternities and sororities requires a commitment at all levels, ranging from individual members to the intern/national headquarters and including the university administration.

Embracing Real Beauty Room 314 According to fashion magazines, women should be six feet tall, a size zero, and perfectly proportioned. Our culture’s obsession with “perfect looks” has begun to shape and change the way women feel about themselves. It needs to stop. If we continue to allow the media to define how a woman should act and look, we are faced with organizations where women never feel good enough the way they are. Join the conversation on how we can change our chapters, community, and campus to form strong, confident Greek Leaders. (#41)

How to be a Better Human Room 312 Humans are social creatures. We interact within the societies that we have built and most of the meaning to be found in life is in these relationships.

This session will focus on humans and how we interact. There are some basic ways of approaching others and thinking about situations that are extremely effective at improving your ability to lead and to live.

Building a Greek Alumni Council That Works Room 311 Fraternity and sorority chapters do not exist in a silo. The challenges faced by one chapter are similar to challenges faced by the entire community. But too often the inter/ national headquarters, advisors, and chapter officers are so focused on solving their own problems, that the fraternity/sorority advisor becomes the sole caretaker of communitywide issues. Enter Greek Alumni Council!

This session helps FSAs understand the value and process of creating a team of alumni with a community-wide focus to help advance the FSA’s initiatives. (#48) Addison Schopp, Sigma Tau Gamma, addison@sigmataugamma.org Nick Palmer, Kappa Alpha Order, npalmer@kaorder.org

Block 4: 3:20 - 4:20pm When Things Were Black and White: Discrimination & Change in our Organizations Room 107 While our organizations continue to evolve in diversity, it is important to remember that at one time many of our organizations restricted membership based upon race and religion.

Make Your Move! How Bystander Intervention can Play in Creating a Safer Campus Climate Room 205 The difference that one person can make in changing a dangerous situation is sometimes disregarded and unexplored.

This interactive session will provide information on bystander intervention, realistic options to address challenging situations, and recommendations to incorporate intervention options on your campus.

College is just beginning, but there is a tremendous amount of pressure to get the very most out of the 48 months ahead. You want to make responsible choices, make friends, find a place where you belong, and put yourself on a path to success in your professional life. There will be a ton of once in a lifetime experiences that make college so special, but also realize that it’s not going to be so easy every step of the way. Students have been saturated with information about the physical ramifications of drugs, alcohol and sex, but they haven’t heard enough positive messages about the emotional, spiritual, social and intellectual impact of their relationships. Knowing and respecting oneself is the first step in being capable of understanding and appreciating others in the campus community. (#76) Andrea Mosby, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., hopeforkiddenver@msn.com

Retaining & Nurturing Socially Excellent New Members White River A For many organizations, nearly 1 of every 5 new members in the fraternity/sorority world QUIT the fraternal experience during their first semester.

Sorority Women are Feminist Too! Room 208

The “Big” Idea: Mentoring with Meaning Room 108

Given media portrayal of sorority women as ditzy and unintelligent and fraternity/sorority life as a culture of parties and objectification of women, many people view Greek letter organizations as misogynistic and sexist communities. However, there is a strong connection between feminism and sorority membership. Our organizations were built on the concept of female empowerment and belonging to a community of strong woman leaders in a time when women were frowned upon for being so progressive as to attend college. Despite the excellent leadership opportunities our organizations provide, many women do not see themselves as feminist as a result of their membership. We will examine the definition of feminism, how this concept is very present in sorority membership, and why sorority women should be proud to say they are feminist! (#80)

Are your seniors checked out? Do your sophomores & juniors reinvent the wheel every new term? Do any of your new members find difficulty fully integrating into the chapter or transitioning to college life? Borrowing elements from Tim Farbor’s “Greater Than Yourself” & Sharon Parks’s “Big Questions Worthy Dreams,” this session will help you create self-sustaining systems of mentoring relationships within your chapter that will take your whole organization to a deeper level of motivation & connectedness. You may have bigs and littles, but true mentoring is much bigger than “big” alone. (#83)

B. A. L. A. N. C. E. — Find out where it is for ME Room 106 Aretha was great at asking for respect. But Greeks may find themselves asking for balance – just a little bit, which can be the difference in leading a healthy, content college life. The demands of Greek life make it difficult to maintain any sort of balance in life because of all the commitments and care taking required by being a chapter leader. One of the biggest issues is managing priorities. Lori gets you laughing, and shows you how to let go and get some “B” in your life. (#84) Lori Hanson, Learn 2 Balance, lori@learn2balance.com

Recruitment Research Results Revealed Room 314 Fraternities and sororities have existed for HUNDREDS of years, yet there is still so much we don’t know about a) Why do people join or not join? b) How do we get the best people to join? and c) How do we keep the best people in?

Clearing the Air on Fraternity Expansion Room 308

Sisters Supporting Sisters Room 205

Fraternity expansion can be an uncomfortable time for members of existing fraternities on campus. Fraternity members often find themselves thinking “We don’t need another fraternity,” “Our existing chapters have enough problems as it is,” or “This new fraternity is going to take our recruits.” This session seeks to clear the air about fraternity expansion by explaining why it is usually good for a Greek community and how existing chapters can take expansion as an opportunity to become even more successful themselves! We will explore the organizational and business motivations for fraternity expansion and explain how expansion is a good thing using free-market principles to build a “culture of success.” (#94)

Wellness is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s society. As students, it is tough to see our friends and sisters struggling with issues like depression, anxiety, eating disorders and alcohol abuse.

Through a round-robin discussion, attendees will discuss how fraternal values align and conflict with various perspectives in the community.

Making Member Ed Meaningful White River G & H Everybody does it; some do it well and some don’t. Some just do it the way it has always been done; some try to innovate with new and improved versions of educating members on history and mystery that is your fraternity or sorority. Focusing on the new and current members as students first, this holistic look at the member education process and functions will enliven and enlighten your membership education and member commitment to the values and mission of your fraternity or sorority. We will share specific examples for varied learning styles and emphasize lifelong commitment to membership. It is NOT about just learning the history and getting initiated.

It is more about MAKING history and living the initiation throughout membership! (#98) Mindy Sopher, North Carolina State University, mindy_sopher@ncsu.edu

Block 5, continued Achieving Values-Based Sorority Recruitment White River A For years, sorority chapter and community leaders have been pushed to create a more valuesbased recruitment process. However that request has left most of us wondering, “How?” ValuesBased 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 ValuesBased Recruitment in your chapter or community.

Stop wondering “How?” and start asking “When?” (#100) Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, jessica@phiredup.com

Buy In on the Front End White River B You have a new member class staring you in the face. This group of energetic, naive, impressionable, passionate, and curious underclassmen is waiting and dependingpon you to show them the ropes of Greek life. What will you say? What will you model? The way we shepherd and lead a new member class has profound effects on what our organization will look like in three or four years. What is your plan to ensure your organization is still going strong when these new members are in your shoes? Sam will share the ideas and strategies that worked for him while he oversaw the new membership program for one of the largest new member classes in his chapter’s history. Drawing upon his professional life as an entrepreneur and nonprofit marketer, he’ll also share ideas for getting your new members excited and involved from day one. (#101) Sam Davidson, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., sam@coolpeoplecare.org

Values-Based Recruitment White River C & D Recruitment is a Greek life staple. Amidst the frill and fun of sorority recruitment, inevitably, comes the pearls, dresses, and spray tans. Through the superficial styles of women; are you attracting the best members for your organization? In this session, we will evaluate how to work through the glitz and glamour and focus on values that will attract the best members to your organization.

Leadership Lessons from the NCAA Room 206

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

Room 108

Many of us gather together each week to cheer on our favorite team, player, and/ or coach. We celebrate their successes and agonize over their defeat. Like Greek life, the NCAA provides both positive and negative leadership lessons that can be applied to our communities or chapters. This session will explore the lessons we can learn from the field, locker room and governing office.

Warning: We may cover the missteps of your favorite team, player and/or coach. Please come with an open mind about what can be learned from that other situations. (#103)

Campus professionals, have you found out after the fact that a sorority on your campus was on probation with the inter/national Office for an incident? Inter/national staff or volunteers, have you received a sanction letter from the University as a form of “first communication?” There is growing concern about what information is being shared between universities and NPC groups in regards to judicial and other risk management information. This workshop will highlight suggested communication protocols and standards procedures in relation to effective adjudication of policy violations. (#107)

Michael Wilson, Kappa Alpha Order, mwilson@ka-order.org

Don’t Just Get on the Train: Working with Your Advisor Room 208 New council officers may find themselves struggling to communicate with advisors. We will discuss alternative ways to communicate, such as when to hold ‘em or fold ‘em and choosing your battles. We will investigate theories and case studies, and discuss why advisors may prefer to challenge and support.

Whether you are a new council/chapter officer or advisor to undergraduate leaders come learn how to find your voice among a profession consumed by group think and balance challenge and support.

The Greek Hangover Room 103/104 Pop culture can teach us a lot about fraternity and sorority life. A movie like “The Hangover” can teach us lessons on bystander behavior, accountability, and the true meaning of being “your brother’s keeper.” Using video clips, character descriptions, and personal stories, you will reflect on what type of experiences your organization is offering.

The Most Misunderstood Issue Room 106 Fraternity men and sorority women are in powerful positions to prevent sexual assault, but common misconceptions about this critical issue hinder our ability to address it effectively. Learn why this is a men’s issue just as much as it is a women’s issue and gather innovative ideas for engaging fraternity men to step up and play a critical role in preventing sexual assault. We will discuss the role alcohol does and does not play in sexual assault and why alcohol is not the issue. Learn how preventing acquaintance sexual assault and rape is very different from preventing stranger rape, and walk away with realistic, innovative steps you can take in your chapter and on your campus for real prevention on this extremely important issue.

Making Next Year Better: Succession Planning and Setting up New Leaders for Success Room 105 It is the end of the semester, and the leadership of your fraternity/sorority/council is getting ready to graduate. What you may or may not realize is that all of the knowledge, successes and failures that they have accumulated will also be graduating with them, and little to no information will be passed down to the next generation of leaders. Sadly, this happened to me. In this fun and practical presentation you will learn how to implement an effective succession plan that will make next year better for your chapter and council leaders.

Learn what has made companies like Apple continue to improve after a leadership transition. (#109) Justin Jones-Fosu, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., justin@justininspires.com

Making Change Happen: Understanding How to Implement Your Action Plan Room 302/303

Mastering the Art of Effective Communication!

Room 309/310

Chapter Finances: The Business Side of Greek Life Room 313

How many of you have attended a leadership program or institute and have left that experience with amazing plans and ideas for the future, but nothing substantial ends up happening after everyone goes their separate ways? Don’t worry, you are not alone! Creating change can definitely be a journey. And we need to believe that change is possible. However, talk is cheap and we need action if we want things to be better in our organizations and communities. Join the NIC staff to discuss the challenges related to making change happen, how you can renew your motivation for change, and develop strategies to combat the real reasons why many change efforts fail (#110)

Effective leadership and teamwork not only requires exceptional communication skills; it demands it! Although we might be prepared to deal with different types of communication styles and approaches, other individuals may not. Therefore, we must continually adapt to prevent organizational and communication breakdown. Participants will experience the “ride of a lifetime” as they experience an interactive journey to analyze various communication skills and how they are effective within our personal lives, relationships, and organizations. Not only will participants leave this presentation with a greater understanding of how to be an effective communicator, but they will also learn new, dynamic techniques to build team unity and group cohesion! (#112)

Sister/brotherhood is about creating life-long relationships, instilling values and building leadership skills. It is also the financial equivalent of running a business with 1821 year-olds who change leadership roles every year! How can you hold your members accountable for their financial responsibility to your chapter? How can you make your chapter’s financial operations more consistent from year to year? How can you bring transparency to your financial activity?

How can you reduce the likelihood that an officer or advisor (yes, it happens) uses the chapter checking account as their own?

Mandy and Jessica are part of a team that helps manage the finances of more than 2,300 fraternity and sorority chapters across the country. They’ve seen it all over the last 20 years and will share with you ways that your chapter can accomplish all of this – and more! (#114)

Saturday, February 9 Block 6: 10:45 - 11:45am “Yeah, But…” Lessons in Social Justice, Ethics, and Making Decisions Room 101/102 “Yeah, but…” is the expression most of us find ourselves using when we know we did something wrong. Find out why people’s actions may differ from their opinions. We will get you moving around and talking about the hard-hitting issues that you face daily.

Everyone has special circumstances that they use to be the exception to the rule. Join in this interactive activity that explores those disparities, why they exist, and how they affect the fraternity and sorority community. We talk about things that need to be black and white but are often pretty gray. Work with others to talk about those gray areas and why it is so important to understand them.

Values: The Foundation of Leadership Room 103/104 Are you an emerging leader that wants to develop the foundation of your leadership?

We will reflect on the core values that are the foundation of leadership. Every leader has a role model that they look to for mentoring and guidance.

Making Cents of Finance Room 106

The Burning Question White River B

Running a chapter/council is like running a business. It takes planning, oversight and accountability. This session will provide information, tips, and resources to help attendees budget, set expectations, collect, and manage your financial plan and goals.

Although this isn’t a fundraising session, attendees will receive a few tips on successful fundraising. Come join us and learn to make cents of your finances. (#119)

At the molten core of every leadership challenge you face, there is always a “burning question” that must be addressed in order to move the organization forward. After all, treating the symptoms but not the disease does not cure the patient. It’s been said that a problem well-stated is a problem half-solved.

In order to move your chapter, council, or campus organization forward, what do you feel is the “burning question” that must be addressed? Come prepared to be brutally honest, specific, realistic, and fair. (#122)

Additionally, it has the capacity to mobilize people to serve and work collaboratively. Whether you know it or not, your experiences in Greek life are a mirror of the social change model. This session connects those dots! (#120) Kristin Morgan, Delta Phi Epsilon, dphiemorgan2000@yahoo.com

Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities: How the Best are Growing in Quantity and Quality White River C & D 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. (#123) Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, jessica@phiredup.com

Situational Leadership White River I & J High-performing organizations depend on high-quality leaders. The Situational Leader knows that it isn’t enough to describe your leadership style or communicate your intentions. You also have to assess the performance of others and take responsibility for making things happen. In Situational Leadership, we’ll address a model of leadership that has been utilized to train over one million managers at more than five hundred major corporations. This is for anyone involved in the difficult and delicate task of influencing others. (#125) Rick Barnes, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., rick@rickbarnespresents.com

Transformational Leadership – The WAVE of the FUTURE! Room 208

Leadership is Everyone’s Business: The Student Leadership Challenge Room 313

According to Wyatt (1993), a generation is comprised of six things: a traumatic or formative event, a dramatic shift in demography, a privileged interval, a creation of sacred spaces, voices of mentors or leaders, and the work of people who know and support one another. Arsenault (2004) revealed to us that leadership development programs must be sensitive to generational differences and that the perspective of leadership changes within each generation.

Learn how a generation is formed within our culture and society and why transformational leadership is the wave of the future. You will have a greater understanding of the different generations on campus and walk away with practical and applicable leadership strategies to help you be more effective at leading younger members of your generation. (#128)

No matter what position your hold, leadership is everyone’s business. This session will explore the five practices of exemplary leaders identified by Kouzes and Posner in their book, The Student Leadership Challenge.

The Power of WE: Building Stronger Fraternities/Sororities/Councils with Social Styles Room 209 Building teams is easy, but building successful teams is sometimes pretty challenging. The biggest challenge is being able to work with and lead different people who have different styles, preferences, and ideas.

5 Missed Recruitment Opportunities for Advisors Room 203/204 As campus and chapter advisors, we are inundated with responsibilities for our students and can often miss opportunities to provide the true recruitment assistance our chapters need. The best use of your time isn’t in planning recruitment rounds, creating flyers, and managing massive recruitment budgets, the unfortunate things that get in the way of giving our students the tools they need to be successful.

Panhellenic Pride Initiative: Chapter Goal Setting and the Council’s Role Room 314 In the Fall of 2009, the Panhellenic Council at the University of Illinois set out to help create meaningful opportunities for the chapters to establish goals that are connected to the values of the Panhellenic community while addressing the common concern of “overprogramming”. The result was the creation of the Panhellenic Pride Initiative at the University of Illinois. The Panhellenic Pride Initiative consists of three important areas: chapter goal setting, council recognition and reward system, and council-wide programming. Engage in conversations with other participants about what Panhellenic Pride means on your campus, what the presenters have seen since the implementation of this program, and lessons learned in regards to future changes and areas of growth.

Leading Change in an Apathetic World Room 312 One of the greatest leadership challenges is fostering change within an organization.

Fraternities and sororities are often particularly resistant to change, making the job of chapter and council leaders more difficult. Understanding what motivates people into action is a critical leadership skill.

Introducing change within an organization or community can elicit fear of the unknown or stimulate visionary thinking and open up new possibilities. Learn how to motivate your peers and implement sustainable change efforts within your chapter or fraternity and sorority community.

Your generation is blessed with intelligence and ability. The problem is finding the motivation. In fact, society has recognized this phenomenon and labeled your generation as the “Lost Generation.” This moniker doesn’t have to stick or be accurate, however. This presentation provides a kick start in your life through discussions of sacrifice, values, priorities and perspective. The idea is that you need to go ALL IN right now!

Dynamic Recruitment Counselors Room 103/104 Sorority recruitment counselors might be the most important and integral part of a successful sorority recruitment process.

These positions should be one of the most significant and coveted positions within our sorority communities attracting our very best sorority leaders. All too often, these positions are a way for sorority women to “get out of” recruiting or serve as a means to impact their own chapter’s recruitment success. Regardless of why women are choosing to become Recruitment Counselors, you have the power to impact the culture of this integral role in a positive way. Taking a more intentional and strategic approach in the recruitment, selection, training, and expectations of recruitment counselors can transform sorority recruitment counselors into a role of significance. We’ll give you specific examples, tools, and strategies to help you build a Dynamic Recruitment counselor team, year after year, for your community.

Effective Party Management Strategies: Risk Management Tools and Takeaways White River A

Observing National Hazing Prevention Week White River G & H

Effective party planning takes critical thinking.

It also takes planning and intentional efforts. It requires you to understand philosophy, policy, procedures, education, and enforcement. It’s not easy running a party the right way.

This program will focus on HOW to run a party in compliance with FIPG. Participants will walk away with real resources on how to run the party right and ultimately make it safer for members and guests. (#142)

Naysayers, Crickets and Whiners: Overcoming Barriers to Change White River C & D You have some great ideas that would take fraternity/sorority life to a new level, but there’s one problem standing in the way: your members. The Naysayer will shoot down any new idea; the Traditionalist wants everything to be like “the old days;” and the Crickets stare blankly into space and say nothing.

Not to mention the Voice, the Whiner, and the Blockade. They say things like, “We’ve always done it this way,” “That’s dumb,” or, “It sounds like a lot of work.” Your success is not determined by their excuses, but by how you respond to them. Join us for a fun and empowering session to gain techniques for working with Naysayers, Crickets, Whiners, and more. Leave with new leadership skills and powerful responses to the excuses that your members might throw at you. (#144)

Rewriting the Man Code White River I & J Messages about masculinity and the societal role of men have been turned upside down in the last two decades. Understandably, many young men are a bit lost—unsure of their role, struggling for validation, and turning to unhealthy behaviors as a means of coping.

This program addresses the conflicted mindset of the modern man, dispelling labels, limitations, and outdated expectations of how masculinity shapes our inner thoughts and outer expression and provides students with a framework to help them live a life with character, value and determination.

We Have a Council, Now What?: Taking your Multicultural Council to the Next Level Room 205 Multicultural organizations often feel a lack of unifying identity within the Greek community when they are simply thrown all together into one council because they don’t meet the criteria for IFC, Panhellenic, or NPHC. Interested in guiding your multicultural council in a direction with purpose? Don’t know how to work together because your organizations are from various backgrounds or interests?

Worried your advisor is from another council and won’t understand you?

Tap Dancing Without Shoes: The History of Stepping and the Impact on Fraternity and Sorority Life Room 203/204

Developing Young Leaders: The Emerging Leaders Program at the University of Illinois Room 207

From “School Daze” to “Stomp the Yard,” stepping has evolved from a general pastime to a cultural phenomenon. Step shows, yard shows, and stroll exhibitions have enhanced Greek life and various community avenues throughout the world. We chronicle the history of the art form known as “stepping” and its impact on the Greek community and popular culture. With extensive research including interviews from notable Black Greek authors, Greek chapters and community centers across the country, Tap Dancing Without Shoes sets the record straight on the history of one of the world’s most exciting, dynamic, and historical art forms. (#151)

We will discuss the purpose and programmatic implementation process behind the Emerging Leaders retreat at the University of Illinois.

Emerging Leaders, a student-run, day-long mini leadership retreat affords current leaders in the IFC and PHC community to implement theory to practice in helping educate rising leaders of tomorrow. Student leaders from IFC and PHC take the lead and are advised by representatives from Fraternity and Sorority Affairs and the Illinois Leadership Center to provide a strong, curriculum-based leadership development opportunity. Drawing from the work of Kouses and Posner, Emerging Leaders helps younger members of our community understand how they function as a leader in a safe and supportive environment. This presentation will include best practices learned as well as provide participants with examples of activities they can use to explore leadership in their community. (#154)

Relationships: The Role of Undergraduate Greeks, Alumni/ae Chapters, and the University Room 312 We will provide working strategies to assist in developing a stronger understanding, supportive system, and relationship between undergraduate members of the Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs), Alumni/ae Chapters and the University. On many of our campuses undergraduate chapters are struggling in a number of areas, inlcuding inclusion at their respective institutions.

Professional staff members are also at a loss on how to engage due to a myriad of challenges. Alumni/ae chapters who are in place to assist sometimes feel left out when trying to understand university policies and procedures. We provide an interactive overview on how to overcome these challenges. (#155) Dr. Terri M. Hurdle, University of Cincinnati, hurdlet@ucmail.uc.edu Dr. Stacy L.

Recruitment Counselors: Difference Makers in Sorority Recruitment Room 304/306 Do your recruitment counselors make a difference? Ours do! Through a serious makeover of our recruitment counselor program, we transformed the impact our recruitment counselors had on Panhellenic sorority recruitment this fall. Through intentional efforts we transformed how we were interviewing, training, and using our recruitment counselors in our partially structured recruitment process.

By incorporating the FISH philosophy, we created a team of recruitment counselors that was ready to make the positive difference in the potential new members’ recruitment experience. The difference we saw in one year was so positive that we had 100% of the women who attended our final round make selections and have seen an increase in retention. If you want to make a difference in your sorority recruitment, come learn how your recruitment counselors can make an impact! (#156)

Appreciation Leads to Retention Room 311 “Congrats new sister/brother! You got a bid, you crossed, you made it through recruitment, and you’re finally initiated! After we celebrate for the next week it’s down to business, and that work will continue until you get burnt out, stop participating in activities, doing community service, paying dues, and being affiliated with us anymore!” Sound like an issue in your sorority/fraternity?

Retention is something a lot of organizations struggle with, but combating it effectively is not done by fining and guilt tripping. It starts with appreciation – the often overlooked but critical component of effective leadership.

It’s not enough for your members to believe in your organization’s values, they must feel valued while doing so. This session we will discuss what appreciation looks like in your organizations, what it could/should look like, and how that will impact the retention of your members during and after college.

The Alumni/ae Equation: Understanding the Roles Alumni Play in Perpetuating or Eradicating Hazing in Today’s Campus Environment Room 308 More often than not, the focus on figuring out what we can do about hazing is given to the undergraduate chapter members. What about the alumni/ae and why aren’t they getting any attention? We’ve all heard old heads talk about how they were “Made” or how things were back in the day, but it’s 2013.

In the wake of an elevated level of attention to hazing with campuses, headquarters, and the media, things have changed since back in the day. If we want to see our Black Greek Lettered Organizations thrive sustainably, something must change and maybe that something is the alumni/ae.

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Opposite Sex White River A

The Skills That Pay the Bills: Making Your Leadership Work for You White River I & J

Relationships with the opposite sex are a part of our everyday life. Many of us question things about men and women. Why do men say they will call and then don’t? Why do women go to the bathroom in pairs?

Why doesn’t text messaging count as verbal communication? Why is the Facebook status “in a relationship” so important? In this program, we will explore biology, stereotypes, and communication theory in an effort to help both men and women understand development and the opposite sex. Healthy relationships are essential throughout life and college is where you learn who you are and what you need from someone else in a relationship. This program is full of laughs as well as important messages about selfesteem. (#162)

Fraternities and sororities develop skills that employers seek. Sometimes, those skills need a little extra polish in order to really shine.

The Intake Equation: Strength in Numbers White River G & H

There are fraternities and sororities composed of fun-loving, talented members who get very little done. Conversely, there are chapters with few members, who possess marginal abilities, who accomplish great things. How and why is this so? David will reveal how to build and maintain great relationships within your chapter, between your chapter and the fraternity/sorority community, as well as with faculty, staff, campus organizations and the campus community at large. The secrets of becoming an efficient, team-oriented, wellrespected chapter will be shared. (#161)

Leadership Development and Greek Letter Organizations: Building an Inclusive Leadership Program Room 312 Colleges and universities have always developed their students as leaders and good citizens through leadership programming.

Fraternal organizations have aided institutions in this effort. However, the theoretical frameworks utilized in student development have excluded a number of groups. At many of our predominantly white institutions, students of color do not see how the leadership offerings supplied by the university will benefit them. Furthermore, many of the programs do not use inclusive language in their promotion of these programs. Our goal is to assist professional staff with these challenges. We will provide strategies to develop an inclusive leadership program for your Greek community. (#174) Dr. Terri M. Hurdle, University of Cincinnati, terri_hurdle@yahoo.com

Understanding the Alumni/ae Perspective Room 208

Creating a Motivated Greek Organization Room 302/303

“How come our alumni/ae won’t give our chapter any money? Why don’t they come to our alumni events? Don’t they like us?” These are the most commonly expressed concerns and misunderstandings of undergraduates in fraternity and sorority chapters. The bottom line is simple: the concept of fraternity or sorority will always mean something different to the alumnus/a who is working and raising a family than it does to the undergraduate who balances academic and chapter concerns.

This session (facilitated by a fraternity HQ alumni staff professional) explores the alumni perspective and offers ideas on furthering alumni engagement. (#188)

We all have those members in our organization who sit at the back of chapter meetings, don’t hold a leadership position, are late paying dues, and fail to contribute to the organization.

From Alpha to Omega 24 Shades of Gray–Leadership Without Easy Answers Room 207 Being a chapter leader is complex work.

Many times you make goals and try to achieve them, but what happens when you fall short or things seem too complex and roadblocks stop you along your path? What happens when your decisions make people unhappy and they check out? Realizing that now your position requires you to adapt to numerous people, situations, tasks, and responsibilities how do you navigate? Attendees will leave this session with a plan on how to meet goals, live up to expectations, and follow through with confidence in decision-making even when things become sticky and there is no one right answer.

I Take Minutes and Sign the Checks; How Can I Make Goals? How to Take Your Position as Secretary or Treasurer to the Next Level Room 313 We all know that the secretary/treasurer position is one of the most essential parts of an effective council but for some reason is the least appreciated. Sometimes this position goes to a younger person because “anyone can do it.” This is for the VP of Administration who wants to do more and set goals to ensure success for the years to come.

Release the hidden talents of any group that you lead. Awaken your members to think and see differently as leaders. Recharge the excitement of annual traditional events and add more spark to them.

Create a strong team that loves doing new things that people will remember long after you’ve graduated. (#196) Hajii Otto, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., MasterStress101@me.com
