Daily Announcements All updates on conference activities will be announced in the first general session each day. You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook or download the Guidebook App for push notifications.

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

Meals Dietary restriction meal tickets are issued to attendees based off of their registration. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional guest meal tickets can be purchased from the registration desk (subject to availability).

Emergencies Please report injuries and illnesses to hotel security through the hotel operator and then contact your advisor and an AFLV Staff Member.

Nametags Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all Ed sessions, general sessions, meals, and any special events (seriously, all conference events). If you lose your nametag, you will be charged a $20 replacement fee, so don’t lose it! Please note: name tags reflect the information given at the time of registration. If there is an update, a small change fee will be assessed.

Promptness Please arrive early to the educational sessions because many fill up quickly! If there’s a session you’re super excited to attend, there’s a good chance others are too. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Seating capacity is limited, so plan ahead and arrive early. If your session is full, consider checking out one of our Game Changers and/or Exhibit Hall.

Questions Find any member of the AFLV team if you have questions. All of our team members are easily identified by our silver AFLV nametags.

Registration Delegates should check in with the hotel BEFORE checking in with the conference. Conference registration is located in the Bayview Foyer. All AFLV West participants must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametags at all times.

Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff for lost and found items. 5

FAQs HOTEL INFORMATION

STANDARDS POLICY

Check In

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

Check in is at 4:00 PM. You will be able to leave your luggage at the bellman station if you arrive early.

Check Out Check out on Sunday is at 12:00 PM. You are able to expedite the process by checking out from the television in your room. Late check out is not guaranteed, so please make arrangements with the front desk.

Bills All hotel guests are responsible for paying their hotel bills. We will not assume any responsibility for your account while attending the conference. Tipping is at your discretion; however, we recommend a minimum of 15%. For bell service, please tip $2 per bag depending on the size and weight of each bag. For maid service, please tip $2 per night.

Hotel Security The Sheraton San Diego does everything it can to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Should an emergency arise, please dial the operator from any hotel phone. This goes directly to the hotel security department who will dispatch appropriate personnel to the scene.

Parking The conference parking rate for attendees at the Sheraton San Diego is $35 per car per day for selfparking and $40 per car per day for valet. If you have questions or need special parking arrangements, contact the Sheraton San Diego.

AFLV expects conference attendees respect the property and the rights of the hotel and its guests. In that spirit, be advised that alcoholic beverages and/or illegal substances are not permitted in general hotel spaces and there will be no alcohol and/or illegal substances permitted in guest rooms. Alcohol and/or illegal substances are also not permitted at any conference event, including meals. All federal, state, and local laws apply, as do your institutions policies and procedures. The legal drinking age in the state of California is 21 and is strictly enforced. Respectful behavior is expected by all attendees. In this spirit, loud music, gatherings, or disruptive hallway conversations are prohibited.

Standards Process Depending on the severity, first incidents may result in a warning.Â After one warning, individuals violating conduct expectations may be asked to leave the conference and the hotel. AFLV reserves the right to send any individual or delegation home without any warning if the violation is deemed severe enough. University officials and inter/national fraternities and sororities will be informed of the conduct and the individuals responsible. If any member of a council is asked to leave the hotel, that council may be suspended from attending future AFLV conferences. Additionally, if a delegation 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. # A F L V W E S T

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

All Leadership is Social

Phired Up Productions | @PhiredUp As we fall more in love with our cell phones and Instagram, our personal, human, face-to-face relationships are suffering. Yet, our ability to be more social and our ability to connect deeply with others defines our fraternal experience and our ability to lead. Social fraternities and sororities are perfectly designed and positioned to breed the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest social leaders. Fraternities and sororities need more social leaders now more than ever. Social excellence is the most important factor leading to success in life, business, relationships - and fraternity and sorority. By embracing the social component of our organizations rather than downplaying it, fraternities and sororities can move beyond relevance and become deeply significant and valuable to our host institutions, local community, and to the world. Your ability to lead will be greatly defined by your ability to be more social.

Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic Fraternity/Sorority Life Corey Ciocchetti | @coreyciocchetti

Your character counts. Character is imperative for fraternity/sorority students because of the values you promise to strive for upon affiliation. The way you treat people, react to setbacks, prioritize goals, and lead others all matter in your chapter, college career, and life. The goal is to develop integrity so you can inspire others to do the same. This will lead you to authentic success and a worthy fraternal legacy. This uplifting discussion encourages participants to orient their moral compasses towards integrity-filled lives (i.e., chasing solid character, strong personal relationships, and contentment). This path to authentic success is contrasted to worldly successes such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Participants learn to develop character, hone virtues, set priorities, and gain a big-picture perspective. They are encouraged to listen, laugh, and think a little more each and every day. Most importantly, they are motivated to inspire integrity throughout their fraternity/sorority community and beyond! Agency: CAMPUSPEAK

COLLABORATE: Together We are Better 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM | Nautilus 5 | Program #001 Would you rate the organizations on your campus as being more competitive or collaborative? If your campus was like Justin’s, then the fraternities and sororities may get along on the surface, but behind closed doors (and sometimes not so behind) there are divisive rivalries and unhealthy competition. Well, your campus may not have embraced an appreciation for greater collaboration in your fraternity and sorority community across chapters and councils. Learn practical tips on how to help your community become more collaborative through effective leadership, becoming comfortable with discomfort, and learning the number one reason why organizations don’t collaborate and what to do about it.

Designing a Career & Life More Exciting Than a Netflix Binge 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #003 Come home after class or work, grab a bite and dive into episode after episode. It’s your time to numb out and shake off the dullness of your day. Sound like you? You may be doing the soul-searching work to find your purpose, or you’re avoiding it completely by keeping your head down and doing whatever you’re supposed to do next. What if you could learn a process to create a career so fulfilling that Netflix feels like a waste of time? From this interactive session, you’ll understand a proven four-step system to design a life you love. The process isn’t complicated. It’s just a much different approach than what parents and professors told you about life after college. Are you ready for a future designed by you? It’s ok: break the rules. Come join the adventure of building a career (and a life) the way you want it.

Life Consequences

Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” I like to say, “When you compare, you despair.” That is always the result. Yet we do it. All. The. Time. We look at social media and compare our lives to someone’s highlight reel. We compare our body, our grades, our outreach, fundraising goals, romantic partners, and so much more. What’s that about? Find out in this open conversation. Plus learn three specific ways to support yourself when you find yourself stuck in comparison.

# A F L V W E S T

Ethan shares his horrific story of committing a vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol at the age of 23 and spending three years of his life in prison. With poor grades, resulting in Ethan being kicked out of several schools and his poor decision-making that led to the death of another person, you would think Ethan would have given up on his dreams and even his life. But, that’s not what happened. In this keynote, Ethan inspires participants to focus on their academic success, bring more awareness to the consequences of making bad choices, and how it is possible to overcome some pretty tough life lessons.

When Fraternity Really Matters

Just Another Assault

10:45 AM - 11:45 AM | Nautilus 5 | Program #005

3:10 PM - 4:10 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #007

Get inspired with a story of how a brother changed a life. After suddenly losing his eyesight in college due to a hereditary disorder, Jeremy was rescued from despair by his fraternity brothers who rallied around him, helped him cope with his new reality, and gave him hope. In a world where we are surrounded by negative stories about fraternity/sorority life, Jeremy offers a true story that speaks to the awesome potential of brotherhood. He believes this commitment, caring, and support was only possible through the fraternity relationship. We spend so much of our lives caring about ourselves, but sometimes the commitment you’ve made to others unexpectedly gives you a chance to make a difference.

Bonny is a survivor of a sexual assault by a close college friend. It took her more than seven years to realize it. In this powerful program, Bonny looks at issues surrounding assault, rape culture, and healing. She describes how her personal journey has involved understanding acquaintance-based assaults, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and sharing her experience to help others find the truth in their own. 1-in-4 college students will be survivors of sexual assault. It is not only an issue for the victim or the campus community; this is an issue for us all. This thought-provoking and interactive program is intended to allow the space for attendees to discuss the uncomfortable and equip them with realistic intervention strategies. And, for victims to know they are not just another assault.

Blackballed: A Lecture on Campus Racism

Vince Fabra @vincefabra Affiliation: Pi Kappa Phi

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #006

Make Every Day Matter

Racism and college students. Every year, whether via racist social media posts, or wearing blackface at “Crips & Bloods” Halloween parties, racism on campus has a detrimental effect not only to minority students, but also on the white students who perpetuate it. This lecture on campus racism is a frank look at how a legacy of white racial supremacy in the United States led to incidents like fraternity members singing about lynching black people, the events in Charlottesville, VA, and other examples of racism that have occurred on college campuses.

4:20 - 5:20 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #008

This program operates under the premise that you’re not responsible for your actions if you’re ignorant of why something is racist. However, you are responsible if you do understand, and you do the racist act anyway…or if you remain quiet.

Our community is not afraid to dream big. However, there are challenges that pop-up each day requiring our immediate attention. It becomes difficult to focus on the big picture and truly change the culture of a campus/ organization when we are putting out fires on a daily basis. Our bold dreams and resolutions begin the year as top priorities, only to fall further down the list with each passing day. In order to proactively impact our communities while simultaneously reacting to unforeseen problems, we must think differently when it comes to goal setting. In this program, participants will identify professional and personal dreams for the next year and create processes and routines for themselves in order to make every day matter.

Join our discussion, led by Lauren Utley, AFLV West Coordinator of Conference Education, as we name the issues being faced by fraternity/sorority communities today in our region and crowdsource how AFLV can provide a better conference experience to help prepare fraternity/sorority student leaders on-campus to address these issues. Presented by: Lauren Utley, AFLV westprograms@aflv.org

Professionals’ Institute: Solving Problems By Addressing Needs 2:20 PM - 5:30 PM | Executive 1 | Program #009 Pre-registration is required.

This session will help participants to clarify several key aspects of their work. First, what exactly is the problem we are trying to solve? Then, within the context of solving this problem, we will explore the difference between interventions designed around the needs of the professional versus interventions designed around the needs of the student. This will require a clear understanding the needs and motivations of all involved. Ultimately, the goal will be to equip participants to more effectively construct initiatives within their work which are designed to make a measurable impact in behavior change rather than to serve as a symbolic action. Presented by: Noah Borton, Senior Director of Educational Programs, Delta Upsilon Fraternity, Borton@deltatau.org

Beyond the Checklist: Constructively Using Group Bonding Techniques to Maximize Council Efficiency Marina 4 | Program #101

Council Management | Council Leaders

Being a student leader isn’t always easy. Better yet, being a council leader isn’t always easy. You’re the voice of the sorority/fraternity community; you have recruitment, intake, large-scale programming, meetings with upper administration, and you need all your fellow executive board members to be along for the ride. Being a successful executive board doesn’t mean finishing a task list every semester. It’s about true authentic collaborations among a group of people. Some of this relationship building may come naturally, but we’re here to show you how to create an effective and collaborative executive board that will thrive beyond the checklist.

Conversations That Matter Harbor Island I | Program #103 Social Justice |

Professionals Only

At some point, you will encounter people or topics that are just off limits. Or, you might have to discuss a difficult topic that you have to bring up with a difficult person. What if you could engage in these conversations with more confidence, humor, and ease? No matter the person or topic, you are your best tool for conversations that matter. Understanding yourself and others as differently right gives you the tools to intentionally design teams, groups, and partnerships that can bring value to a single project or topic. We are all frustrating to someone, and at times even to ourselves. Once you know who and how you are, you can reclaim responsibility for these behavior response patterns and leave room for others to do the same. Jessica Pettitt, Good Enough Now jess@goodenoughnow.com

Retaining Motivated Members to Graduation Nautilus 4 | Program #104

Chapter Management | All Students

Crushing it in formal recruitment is one thing. Keeping those members is a different task. Based on research at Phired Up, we have identified the main reasons why people leave our organizations. Hint: It’s probably not because of the excuse they are giving us when they sign their paperwork. In this session, we will focus on the reasons people leave fraternity and sorority and talk about strategies you can utilize to keep your members - and keep them engaged all four years. KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions KJ@Phiredup.com

Self-Governance: Is it Broken or is a Reinvestment Needed? Executive 3A | Program #102

Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs | All Students

Buzzwords are a part of our society, but it our responsibility to take ownership of the ones that matter. Self-governance is used frequently, but do we truly understand what selfgovernance is or is not? As an industry, we must reinvest in self-governance and how true self-governance accepts culture change on campuses. In this session, we will review self-governance and its importance to the vision of fraternity communities. We will also discuss the ideal model for what self-governance. As well as the key teaching components to use back on campus. Dylan Howser, North-American Interfraternity Conference dylan.howser@nicindy.org

Go Greek! Is Not A Marketing Strategy Nautilus 3 | Program #105 Public Relations | All Students

Fraternity/sorority is a beautiful thing. But the story we’re allowing to be told about us is hideous. It’s time to take control of the way we do marketing as fraternity/sorority leaders. Shouting “GO GREEK!” is not marketing. It’s begging. It’s shouting. It’s demanding. It’s selfish. We can do better. Learn the secrets the world’s best marketing minds use to build trust and demand in the best brands around the world. And, learn it all from the only people 100% dedicated to growing fraternity/sorority life through marketing. Let’s stop marketing like a 4th Grade Bake Sale and start marketing like the sophisticated organizations we are. Bonus: Tips for savvy marketing on a shoestring budget!

The Right Mix: Alcohol & Other Drugs Marina 5 | Program #106

Health & Wellness | All Students

The opioid crisis, campus deaths, and stories of lethal drug combinations are all too common. While alcohol affects our fraternity/sorority communities, increased availability and abuse of opioids and other drugs on campuses present significant but often overlooked risks for our members. College education programs focused on other drugs, covering increased risks and negative consequences for today’s college student, are often overshadowed alcohol-only education. This program will challenge perceptions and clarify drug misperceptions and facts beyond and including alcohol; including opioids, cocaine, marijuana, molly, predatory drugs, and other prescriptions. Fresh, data-driven topics will leave attendees feeling informed and empowered to support applicable, realworld strategies within their organizations. Harm reduction will support healthier choices, informed decision-making, and reset perceptions. Real talk. Real answers. Bobby Gordon, Arizona State University & CAMPUSPEAK bobby@bobbygordon.com

Dare to Be: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Executive 3B | Program #107

Leadership Development | All Students

We’ve all had it. That nervous feeling making us secondguess our actions and capabilities. The lurking doubt keeping us from taking on new challenges. Imposter syndrome is used to describe an individual who struggles to internalize or acknowledge their accomplishments and skills. This syndrome can be a barrier to our leadership development and successes, but when addressed, can help us grow and positively impact our communities. In this session, participants will learn about imposter syndrome, its impact, and strategies to overcome it.

Shaking Hands & Kissing Babies: Network Like a Boss Nautilus 1 | Program #109

Life After College | All Students

Networking. The mere mention of the word creates polarizing emotions for many. One of the biggest selling points for joining a fraternity/sorority is the networking opportunities you’ll have when you graduate. While this is very true, we never actually talk about how to engage in those conversations. Like it or not, face-to-face networking isn’t going away because today’s world is more about who you know than what you know. So, introverts & extroverts, let’s chat about it, shall we? Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your new network. James Robilotta, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. jtrobo@gmail.com

Men Recruiting Men to Be Men Executive 1 | Program #110

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Fraternity recruitment = men recruiting men to become better men. This might be the most succinct explanation of our organizations. Yet, we rarely talk productively (without accusation or blame) about what it even means to be a man anymore. So, it should be no surprise that our fraternities are struggling with expressions of manhood. We must positively talk about and demonstrate humble, confident, inclusive, modern manhood in fraternity. This session combines this discussion of manhood with fraternity recruitment techniques and strategies to make sure we’re attracting men who want to become men through the challenge and gift of fraternity.

Growing Your Multicultural Greek Community Marina 3 | Program #111

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders | NCGLC

Changing demographics have led to increases in the number of students of color on campuses, resulting in students needing outlets to explore their identity and structures to support their retention and graduation rates. Enter multicultural fraternities and sororities. To better serve this growing population, campuses should invest in the growth of their multicultural Greek communities (MGC). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to shed some of the historical stereotypes related to recruitment and sizes of MGCs. The session will provide student leaders with opportunities to share ideas in growing their community while learning best practices in empowering membership and organizations to lead growth efforts. Come learn how to challenge, support, and empower your MGC! Nicholas Hudson, Ed.D., Washington State University nicholas.hudson@wsu.edu

Thriving as a Council President Nautilus 2 | Program #112

Leadership Development | All Students

In this session, learn specific strategies to effectively lead your council. These strategies were developed while working with councils on over a hundred campuses and having first-hand experience serving as an IFC President. In this program, you will hear leadership best practices, common mistakes made by council leaders, and a series of case studies. By the end of this session, you will have a personalized plan for leading your council at a high level this year! Tom Healy, LaunchPoint

Telling the Story of Sorority Nautilus 2 | Program #201

Intake/Membership Recruitment | All Students

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

Gentlemen Use the F Word Marina 3 | Program #204 Social Justice | All Students

Nope, not that word! Feminism, gentlemen. More than any time in recent history, these last few years our focuses have been on women. We saw the first female presidential candidate of a major party, Sloane Stevens winning the US Open, the “me too” movement, and more conversations in media about how we treat women. What is the role of men in these discussions? What about fraternity men? What is your personal role? These discussions do not often include fraternity men, presuming issues of women and feminism are not your concern or interest. But as members of organizations founded upon the idea of being gentlemen (among other things), let’s show your critics how powerful it can be when men come together to discuss the F word. Tina VanSteenbergen, ForCollegeForLife tinavansteenbergen@gmail.com

Wings ‘N Things: Building Community One Step at a Time

This discussion will highlight proven strategies to take your philanthropy to the next level. Philanthropy is one of the most uplifting and unifying aspects of fraternity/ sorority life. Together we’ll discuss strategies to help you raise more money, increase engagement, and inspire your team! We’ve worked with hundreds of philanthropy events and will be discussing the keys to putting on and growing a successful event. We’ll also have an interactive discussion about your own events, where you can share experiences, learnings, and questions. Expect to leave not only inspired, but also with a clear roadmap of how you can become the best Philanthropy Chair your campus or chapter has ever seen.

Building a cohesive community is easier said than done. Everyone has different goals, agendas, fears, and desires. It’s a daunting task. But, what if building this community could all start with something as simple as eating wings? In this interactive conversation, explore four simple steps to building a community based around trust, understanding, and friendships. If we expect greatness from our members, then we need to create an environment that enables success. Come learn how to make “community” a standard that everyone wants to meet.

In this session, Jacqueline will share this program covering various aspects on issues surrounding equity such as LGBTQ+ rights, racism, mental health, etc. Participants will walk away with comprehensive materials to use in discussions with current and future members of fraternity/ sorority communities and how to put these important concepts into practice throughout the school year.

This workshop will discuss the ways individuals can be impacted by their campus and will equip student participants with methods to improve their interaction with their peers, faculty, staff, and more.

Intake/Membership Recruitment | All Students

Is your chapter not large enough? Ever look at a member and think they aren’t the right fit afterall? If either is true learn how to fix it! Quality drives quantity. Our founders found individuals that lived by their values and invited them to join. We put up fliers and hope the right people show up. We don’t recruit. We select. And we don’t even do it well based on the complaints so many have regarding the apathy and poor values alignment of too many members. We need to get back to basics. Get past the buzz words of “values based” recruitment and learn how to actually use your values to recruit members ready to live them. David Stollman, LaunchPoint

Executive 3A | Program #209 Health & Wellness | All Students

Almost every day, we are asked “how are you?” It may seem like an easy question to answer, yet how often do we respond with honesty? Fear of rejection from loved ones or the shame of not being able to handle things on our own can cause us to bottle up our emotions (like depression, anxiety, pain) to keep them hidden from others. For many, this can leave us feeling isolated and alone in our time of need. By exploring the ways that authenticity and personal wellness connect, this session leaves room for honest conversations about how we support our members during times of crisis. With this peer-to-peer intervention, our siblinghoods grow stronger as our members feel a deeper sense of connection to each other. Annalise Sinclair, ForCollegeForLife annalisemsinclair@gmail.com

After the Assault: Self-Care for Recovery Executive 3A | Program #301 Health & Wellness | All Students

The fight against sexual assault on college campuses has never been more important. Messaging leaning toward primary prevention make up the majority of the programming, and rightfully so. But outside of on-campus resources, how are survivors being equipped with the tools and practices to care for themselves from the inside out? In this interactive workshop, Brittany Piper (a rape survivor, and trauma and wellness expert) will walk you through spiritual, mental, and body exercises designed to root out the toxins assault leaves in its wake. Having battled with shame, guilt, depression, addiction, anxiety, and PTSD, Brittany understands the magnitude of maintaining a self-care routine during recovery. In addition, you will be given a self-care workbook, empowering you to support survivors in their healing. Brittany Piper, CAMPUSPEAK brittpiper.lcp@gmail.com

Great, another speech on leadership. Instead of the same cliched leadership lessons, it’s time to be different! Let’s talk about who you are personally as a leader. As humans, we can’t learn things from people who are perfect, we can only learn things from people who are imperfect. So, it is time to own who you are so you can be real to others and lead through your faults. This deep, but hysterical, session will leave you feeling introspective about the person you show to others. It will show you how being more authentic actually inspires open communication, forms tighter bonds, and causes members to be more engaged. We need to talk about you before we can talk about us, so let’s discuss where you struggle and succeed to make you a more efficient and effective authentic leader for your council and chapter.

How to Do IFC Formal Recruitment Right Nautilus 1 | Program #305

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Formal IFC recruitment is anything but standardized. Panhellenic communities have leveraged a well-organized recruitment process for decades, and it’s time for IFC communities to consider how to do the same. Formal recruitment is not, and should never be, the only way to grow fraternities, but if it is done right, it can be a powerful component of an overall growth plan. Borrowing from over 15 years of experience advising fraternities on recruitment tactics, this session will explore the most important components of planning, organizing, and scheduling an IFC formal recruitment process that gets results.

Over 240 sorority communities across the U.S. are engaged in helping tackle the global crisis in girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education through the Circle of Sisterhood Foundation. Sororities are working together, across affiliation, to create awareness about the issues affecting women worldwide while raising money to removing barriers to education. The impact has been significant. In 7 short years, barriers have been removed in 23 countries, 15 schools have been built in 5 countries, over 200,000 people have been educated about the global issues affecting women on U.S. campuses, and more than 1,000 student leadership positions have been created. Come learn how sorority women are driving this global humanitarian effort.

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Want to change your community? Create a different culture, stop negative behaviors, build a better community, or be more values-aligned? Start with your potential members! The way to create meaningful change in your community is to first create more educated potential members by providing better education about what it means to be in a fraternity/sorority on your campus. You also need to prepare and educate them on how to make better decisions about an organization that is right for them and empower and educate them with the skills they need to seek that information from chapters in the recruitment process. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get you started with lots of ideas about where to start to create change with your PNMs! KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions KJ@Phiredup.com

Life is stressful! Students tend to worry about grades, relationships, jobs, money, fraternity/sorority life legacy and commitments, and their future in general. Fraternity/ sorority life professionals worry about these students as well as the stressors in their own lives: the economy, budgets, time management, character-development, and work relationships to name a few. This discussion deals with stress and the physical and mental problems caused by an excessively stressful life. Stress is defined and its mental and physical manifestations analyzed.

Hey Sister!: How to Train Your Entire Community on Being a Better Big Marina 3 | Program #401

Leadership Development | All Students

“But our Bigs are the problem. They encourage bad behavior!” Sound familiar? It did for us too! While evaluating what makes the fraternity/sorority community so risky, the Panhellenic council at the University of Oregon came across a common theme that connected risky behaviors to a lack of appropriate education and connection to resources by the women tasked with mentoring our newest members. So Panhellenic set to work to create a program that established sorority life as a safe and welcoming environment for all new members in the community. Utilizing the Five C Model of Mentoring, Panhellenic trained nearly 1,000 women in the inaugural year of the program on expectations of sorority mentoring and campus resources. New members describe better relationships than imaginable, so come see if this could work on your campus!

Are You Ensuring Everyone’s Asked to Dance? Marina 4 | Program #403 Social Justice | All Students

Thinking about diversity as inviting a person to a party means that inclusion is ensuring that person is also asked to dance. On our campuses, we have members of our student bodies struggling to feel valued and heard. Our country is facing serious issues like those captured in the #BlackLivesMatter movement, sexual violence on campus, and gender identity. Ensuring all students feel valued necessitates leaders develop heightened levels of cultural competence. This session is designed to have leaders reflect on their own cultural lens to enable them to be more effectively engaged in their chapter and campus community.

We live in a world of rules. Rules and policies are usually in place because of past incidents and issues. Rules provide boundaries, direction, and clarity. Or, do they? This session will create a dialogue around the notion that too many rules can create an adverse effect and stifle progress. This session is intended for council officers who recognize that change is needed and the status quo is not an option. Participants will be challenged to think about leading with fewer restrictions and be asked to evaluate existing policies to consider if their effect is adverse.

Get off the Recruitment Merry-Go-Round: Recruitment Conversations to Advance Your Community

ekahl@uwyo.edu

Why People Choose Greek Life (or Not) Nautilus 3 | Program #405 Public Relations | All Students

Ever feel like you are having the same recruitment conversation over and over again with no actual changes being implemented? Discussions regarding how to implement values-based recruitment, how to eliminate bid promising, how to increase PNM retention, and how to improve marketing efforts to attract more PNMs to your community? Join the National Panhellenic Conference for roundtable discussions on these and other recruitment and membership topics.

Why in the world did you choose a fraternity/sorority? Do you really even know? What about the people on your campus who don’t choose to “GO GREEK”? Do you have any idea why? This session will combine major theories about decision making from best selling authors along with brand new market research on non-fraternity/sorority students to offer a unique insight into the minds of the students you wish your organizations could attract. Is the decision to join or not join about money? Parents? Logic? Emotion? Data? Peer pressure? Social status? T-shirt color? Websites? Your “Why”? Your joining process? The media? Come find out!

Do you ever feel pressure to be smart, accomplished, fit, good looking, and popular all without putting forth any visible effort? You are not alone. Our generation is in love with the idea of being effortless in their work, but the stress is slowly eating them alive from the inside. We are obsessed with being chill and not letting anything impact us, yet we still feel an increadible drive to lead. In this session, the presenter will discuss how your campus demonstrates it’s own unique twist on what it means to be effortless and chill while still expecting perfection.

Supporting & Rewarding: Academic Programming for Culturally-Based Greek Organizations Marina 5 | Program #407

Academic Achievement | Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders | NCGLC

Academic success is a guiding value of all fraternities and sororities, but what happens when your chapter or council is struggling to maintain academic success? It is important to look at what societal factors are impacting academic success in culturally-based Greek organizations at a chapter and council level. After we are able to identify these factors, we can then begin to craft programs that are engaging, and support academic success for all our members. During this session we will participate in a variety of activities and conversations that explore culture, academics, and how to create fun academic success programs that aren’t study hours.

“If someone would have just said something...” is often the afterthought of leadership when an incident redefines the future of chapter. This program is a frank discussion about the importance of doing the right thing whether it is calling 911, reporting a member to your organization judicial board, removing a friend from an event, or removing a member from the organization. Doing the right thing necessitates engaging the general membership of your organization in the reduction of high-risk behaviors and creating an environment where members, not just leadership, will take action or speak up.

But, other times, it is a beautiful piece of art that gives the world a glimpse inside the beauty of our organizations. Some are good, some are bad. Some are Hollywood, some are Snapchat. But, they’re all important, both for marketing purposes and for understanding the values, priorities, and beliefs of sorority leaders.

Better Friends, Better Sisters, Better Women Nautilus 1 | Program #504 Fraternal Values | All Students

Joining a sorority changes our lives in many ways. Most importantly, sorority fosters genuine, meaningful friendships with other women. Yet, in the midst of these deep friendships, lives the truth of “girl” culture. We talk behind each others’ backs. We choose jealousy and resentment over support and love. We compete instead of congratulate. One of the real challenges in sorority leadership is acknowledging some of our less-productive impulses and tactics and using our leadership talents to steer our way to better relationships and better solutions. Together we will learn and practice how to unpack the true power of friendships within sorority, and choose to be better friends, better sisters, and better women.

One of the most common problems in fraternity/sorority communities is the lack of motivation. It is a critical component of your organization’s success or failure. However, before you can help motivate others, you must first understand how you are personally motivated. In this session, participants will uncover specific motivation theories, learn more about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and discover motivational patterns and proven accountability techniques to motivate their members. Once you understand what your chapter members need to know, and how to act as a leader, you will gain the confidence needed to make significant strides towards being a more involved and motivated chapter on campus.

From One Risky Community to Another: Train Your People Correctly Marina 3 | Program #601

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Risk management is essential to the success of a fraternity/ sorority community, but if you don’t invest time into your programs, it won’t be beneficial. In an effort to keep current on the challenges facing members, student leaders and the fraternity/sorority life staff at the University of Oregon partnered together to train the community on best practices. The presenters will demonstrate how their risk management program provided community members with great educational resources. They will also provide participants with tangible, take-away programs that a chapter can immediately implement, and how to identify presentation partners within a small external community to ensure a daylong training is possible on any campus.

Were you thrown into your position with little training or knowledge of the position? One of the biggest problems facing chapters and communities is constantly having to reinvent the wheel. All the effective recruitment techniques, fundraising programs, scholarship initiatives, risk management procedures, and other organizational memory is lost when members leave. In this program, you will learn how to identify and train future leaders, ensure successful officer transition, and gain confidence to develop new goals for the upcoming year. Presenters will outline effective committee structure, effective meeting and communication techniques, and the importance of organizational financial responsibilities.

Gender Inclusion within Single-Gender Organizations Executive 3B | Program #606 LGBTQA | All Students

Today’s generation is redefining the meaning of gender. Students who do not identify as cisgender (those whose gender identity corresponds with their sex assigned at birth) may identify as transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, polygender, non-binary, gender questioning, and other options. Fraternities and sororities have traditionally been binary organizations, open to men or women respectively. Is there a place for gender non-conforming students in the fraternity/sorority community? How are membership policies of (inter) national organizations evolving with regard to gender identity? What can students and advisors do to make their community more inclusive and welcoming?

Recruitment Counselors: The Most Important person In Your Recruitment Nautilus 4 | Program #608

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Recruitment Counselors might be the most important and integral part of the success of a sorority recruitment process, and it should be one of the most significant and coveted positions within our sorority communities attracting our very best sorority leaders. These leaders should be highly trained to be true guides, counselors, and mentors. The bad news is these positions are seen as a way for sorority members to get out of recruiting or as a means to impact their own chapter’s recruitment success, and once we have these women, we’re not adequately training them. The good news? We can change the culture. You can transform the role of a sorority Recruitment Counselor into a role of significance by taking a more intentional and strategic approach to the recruitment, selection, training, and expectations of Recruitment Counselors.

Just Beneath the Surface: The Human Element of Risk Management Nautilus 2 | Program #611

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Fraternities and sororities promise a “home away from home” to incoming members. We accept, love, and care for those who choose to join us. However, for some members, this sense of belonging doesn’t wash over them when they sign their bid card. Instead, they feel as if each day is a struggle to earn acceptance and a battle to prove they belong. A chapter or community filled with members that feel as if they have something to prove is a very scary thing. In this program, we will approach risk management, not from the perspective of policy, but rather through the lens of the human element, particularly the psychology of belonging.

Chapters that do Dynamic Recruitment continually build their network of non-affiliated friends using optimized strategies for meeting new people, and they track their growing network utilizing a standardized Names List. The Dynamic Recruitment process continues with systematic relationship-building through small, normal, friendship activities as opposed to just big recruitment events. Prospects are vetted for their level of qualification using an objective Values Based Selection Process. The Dynamic Recruitment chapter is guaranteed 100% bid acceptance because it always “Pre-Closes” prospects.

Our organizations have become bad about selling fraternity and sorority. We push hard with facts about what we do, what we’re the best at, and why they should want to be in our organization. They actually hate that. What they want more than anything is the stories of your experiences in your fraternity or sorority. They don’t want you to be a salesman, they want you to be a storyteller.

Outreaching for Future Members Marina 3 | Program #705

It would be great if we could acquire knowledge by simply walking into a building or room, such as the library. The reality is the mind does not work that way; so, why do we think sitting around a study table for 5 hours a week will also make us smarter and do better in the classroom? This session will shift from the traditional habits of academic plans to provide examples and ideas of ways councils and chapter officers can create and promote a more learner-focused environment in the chapter or community. Participants will identify shortcomings of the typical academic programs and leave with strategies to better promote effort as a way of increasing academic performance.

Participants from historically multicultural Greek-lettered organizations will learn new tools in outreaching to potential members of their organizations. In this session, students will be challenged to critically reflect on language used in current outreach methods as well as new ways to gain interested students by ensuring language used is reflective of the people in their community. Additionally, this workshop will allow for students to see a glimpse of the future and how what they do now can positively impact inclusion in their organization.

Brittany Piper knows from first hand experience the havoc a college landscape can inflict on wellness. She vividly remembers the all-nighters, pumped up on stimulant medication and Red Bull. The skipping meals because she was either too busy to eat or trying to maintain an unrealistic body image. The alcohol abuse. The lack of self worth. She remembers the overwhelming feelings of hopelessness, the anxiety attacks, and in response, the anti-depressants. Unfortunately, with research pointing to an increase in suicide, eating disorders, and alcohol abuse on college campuses, this dark story is the reality for many students struggling to find a healthy balance between school, work, and life in general. With a combo of mental, spiritual and body awareness, Brittany will guide students through an introspective lens where they can dive deep into the same self-care practices that helped her to feel empowered to overcome the pressures of college life.

Academic achievement is one of our founding principles and central to the mission of our host organizations. So, how do we make academics a topic that is both challenging and fun? What role do our councils play? How do we engage chapter leaders to put words into action? How do we measure academic achievement beyond GPA? How can our groups play a larger role in the university’s academic mission? What are the latest best practices of increasing academic achievement? This interactive session will include best practices that go beyond library hours and infuse research and key performance indicators to help participants create a fun academic frame for their ever-changing fraternal community.

Curiosity, Courage, & Cake: Surviving Mental Illness Through Sisterhood Marina 4 | Program #802

The Five Great Hazing Myths Nautilus 1 | Program #803

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Hazing is arguably the single greatest challenge facing fraternities and sororities. In spite of the deaths, the injuries, the lawsuits, and the negative media attention, hazing persists in our community. But why? Most students engage in hazing because they believe hazing accomplishes positive things for new members and for their chapters. But these beliefs are largely based on myth, not reality. This session will debunk the myths we have built up around hazing - that hazing builds better chapters and creates more committed members. Participants will also learn strategies aimed at combating hazing in their chapters and communities. Gentry McCreary, Dyad Strategies LLC gentry@dyadstrategies.com

Why Matters Now: How Some Professionals Achieve More & Others Don’t Executive 3B | Program #804 Leadership Development |

Professionals Only

Both the why of what you do and the now of what you do matter to achieve meaningful success. What would it look like for you to be more focused, motivated, and committed at home, work, and in your community? In this inspiring and practical presentation, participants will be challenge to identify or reconnect with their why (purpose) and to live it out now (passion) in order to achieve meaningful success. Too much focus on the “why” can lead to being stymied by indecision. Too much focus on the “now” can lead to increasing impulsivity and bad decisions. Learn how to be “ON 10”, apply the Principle of the Frog, Step, Seed, and Smile; and be inspired by why you started in this industry! Justin Jones-Fosu, CAMPUSPEAK justin@justininspires.com

Health & Wellness | All Students

One week after accepting her sorority bid, Annalise Sinclair was diagnosed with a life-changing mental illness. She quickly discovered sisterhood is sometimes the best therapy; she later realized that by learning to be curious about ourselves and finding the courage to share our stories with others, we can allow deep, meaningful relationships to develop. This strength allows us to take on any challenge including the ones which feel the mostpersonal. In this program, students will discover how a little bit of curiosity can change their entire life, a whole lot of courage is necessary to take on their dreams, and there is nothing that can’t be made a little bit better with cake!

Mobilizing your Panhellenic Community to Rewrite the Rules of Social Interactions Marina 2 | Program #806

Council Management | All Students

Given the state of fraternity/sorority life, social engagements are a problematic experience where inappropriate behaviors or worse are occurring on a regular basis. After reflection on the problems within the community, one Panhellenic Council took steps to prevent further escalation of behaviors that were a risk to the community and its organizations. By utilizing their collective power and voice, the Panhellenic Council and member organizations joined together to set expectations for peer-accountability and social interactions on a community scale. Join the presentation team to learn about how they created a unified idea, drafted a policy/ statement that aligned with the community goals, and sought support from partner councils in implementation.

Greek Life After College: The Next Step in Greek Life Executive 3A | Program #808 Life After College | All Students

Are you ready for the next step in your life? Translating your fraternity/sorority experience into your public resume can be tedious and confusing. Finding graduate or alumni/ae members in your new job location can also be daunting. As if the change from undergraduate life to life after college was not difficult enough, for many new graduates, extending their lifetime membership in a their organization can either be exhausting or invigorating, but it certainly takes some energy too. The good news is you do have a network to help you get settled and continue your commitment to values, friendship, leadership, and service. Participants will work on translating their personal fraternity/ sorority experience into general and job/career appropriate terminology for maximizing their resumes, personal statement, and interviews. Case studies on “making the transition” will be discussed, and alumni/graduate resources will be available to help make the road more smooth and welcoming. Make sure to bring your resume draft!

Write your Story: Talking to New Members about their Experience Nautilus 3 | Program #809

Chapter Management | Council Leaders

Let’s call it what it is: being women in college is hard work. While we stretch ourselves thin to meet (exceed) the expectations of ourselves and everyone else, we also have the additional pressure of doing it all with confidence. Confidence is an important and lofty goal, but not one that comes with an easy on/off switch. On the contrary, it can take a lot of work and resilience to develop real confidence. In this session, we’ll come together as women dealing with real life to find and build authentic confidence. Through powerful conversations, helpful practical exercises, and pure sisterhood, we will put in the work of building true confidence because it’s surely teamwork worth doing.

Insecurities cause many of us to go against our moral compasses and act in ways that are incongruent to who we are. New members are particularly susceptible to this fact. That’s why we rarely see them standing up for themselves, saying no to hazing, and engaging in groupthink. This discussion-based session will focus on the roll insecurity plays in inaction by talking about the stories we tell ourselves. If we want our new members to engage more in bystander intervention and reporting, we must first get them to see the reason they do not self-advocate: because they just want to belong.

Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs | All Students

As leaders of our organizations, conflict is a part of our everyday lives. Often, we are great at talking about it, but struggle to engage with it in a healthy, productive way. This session is designed to equip you with the tools you need to conquer the sleeping giant known as conflict. You will learn how to identify the most common types of conflict in your organization and determine your own personal resolution style. After this session, you will be able to enter any difficult situation with confidence and a level head. Kristen Vega, CSU Monterey Bay kvega@csumb.edu

Utilizing Public Relations as a Recruitment Tool Executive 1 | Program #811

Public Relations | All Students | NCGLC

Historically, multicultural fraternities and sororities are unknown to potential new members. Incoming students are unaware of the unique opportunities joining a multicultural fraternity or sorority provides them: identity development, academic achievement, and social connections. Utilizing data analytics and innovative public relations methods, councils can increase the visibility of their member organizations, thereby yielding larger recruitment classes/ lines. As multicultural fraternities and sororities, we must gain visibility to ensure our longevity on campuses! This session will empower student leaders to take ownership over public relation efforts to achieve substantive recruitment gains for their campuses.

Risk Reduction Through Smart Recruitment & Marketing Nautilus 3 | Program #901

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Are the risk management trainings, policies, and sanctions working great on your campus or within your organization? If so, good for you (please present a session on how you’re doing it!) If not, then you’re certainly not alone. The approach we’ve taken to reduce risky behavior in fraternities and sororities has been a noble one, but it needs supplementary help. Enter marketing and recruitment! Fraternity/sorority marketing has a reputation for being about loud shouting, glamourous videos, and lots of fliers. But there’s a desperate need to leverage the tools used by great companies and sports teams to attract top talent and apply those tools to attracting higher quality, lower risk members. Further, strategic marketing and recruitment practices can alter the cultural expectations provided during the pre-member experience and have a positive impact on risk reduction.

Sex and Candy: Making Communication, Consent, & Getting Tested More Tasty Marina 3 | Program #902

Health & Wellness | All Students

It’s been proven that fear and shame-based sex education simply does not work. It’s time to think and talk about sex in a different way. Kelly Gluckman is a current senior at UCLA, a performance artist, and long-time champion of sex-positive education. Her goal is to empower others in developing the tools necessary to make healthy decisions in their sex life and freely express themselves, both as individuals and within relationships. In this program, Kelly shares her story of contracting HIV and learning how to thrive. She shares the benefits of using protection, getting tested, and the “how to’s” of intimate partner communication. Her impactful journey shows how one can overcome life’s obstacles while developing self-love. Kelly Gluckman, UCLA kbgluckman@g.ucla.edu

Recruitment Counselors: There’s a Million Things you Haven’t Done, Just you Wait Nautilus 1 | Program #906

Intake/Membership Recruitment | All Students

You started with fines, and then came a complicated point system or demerits/merits followed by yet another scheme to get members to sign up, show up and contribute. How are those working out for you? We’ll take a short look at “mandatory,” a long look at asking good questions as to why members are not engaged in your chapter or council, and then review at least a dozen ways to improve motivation. Mandatory has never taken the place of leadership by example, and it never will. Bring your ideas!

The training a recruitment counselor receives sets the stage for the experience a potential new member has while participating in Panhellenic recruitment. A good training can create an extraordinarily positive experience for a PNM and keep them excited and enthusiastic for the duration of recruitment; while a bad training can provide the opposite experience. Come to this session to learn helpful tips and tricks to training the best group of recruitment counselors your campus has ever seen!

Social Justice | Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders | NCGLC

Are you new to the campus scene and nervous about building a strong relationship with your headquarters counterparts? With every campus operating differently, and every headquarters having different policies, it can certainly be overwhelming. In this session, we’re going back to basics to help you build the most effective and efficient relationship possible. We’ll have professionals from both sides of the aisle to facilitate and answer questions.

Participants from historically multicultural Greek-lettered organizations will learn how to frame the importance of their foundation as organizations catering to diverse student populations. In this workshop, student leaders will learn to be trailblazers in the multicultural fraternal movement as game-changers in fraternity/sorority life to not just establish their importance on a college campus, but the importance they have in helping diverse students navigate academic/professional endeavors.

Honest Conversations: Recruitment Through Relationship Building Executive 3B | Program #905

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Chapter Leaders

Greek Unity, Not My Chapter, & Other Lies We Tell Ourselves Nautilus 2 | Program #908 Fraternal Values | All Students

Rather than focusing on developing genuine relationships with potential new members, recruitment is often viewed as a “have to” activity to meet quota and/or maintain the size of the organization. What happens when members intentionally focus on honest conversations and individual relationships? This session will provide leaders with techniques to engage in genuine and meaningful conversations to help with the recruitment process. Instead of just selling the organization, this session will help leaders understand how they can make individuals feel welcome and connected.

Fraternity/sorority life tends to get a bad rap. From newsfeeds to newspaper pages and images on television media outlets, we are portrayed as being filled with hazing, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, and plain stupidity. Often our members believe bad things will never happen to them, or worse, it will only happen to another chapter or organization. This leads to a false sense of invincibility and poor decision making. By exploring the myths (and realties) surrounding fraternities and sororities, participants will have honest conversations regarding the future of their fraternity/ sorority communities and how individual members can impact on their organizations in a positive way.

Social Justice | Chapter Leaders | NCGLC

Since the 2016 presidential election, there has been a lot of reflection, raw emotion, and determining a way forward for our community. Many members have expressed a sincere fear about their safety. As members of multicultural fraternities and sororities, and as members of historically minoritized populations, we play a large role in advancing social justice issues on campuses. This session focuses on specific action items councils can take to address these issues, including resolutions, walk-outs, protests, and media campaigns. Our communities can no longer take a back seat towards addressing the inequities we see on our campuses. Attendees will be empowered to utilize community organizing efforts to achieve social change at their institutions! Nicholas Hudson, Ed.D., Washington State University nicholas.hudson@wsu.edu

Connecting, Caring, & Closing: Fraternity Recruitment Conversations Marina 5 | Program #910

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Every fraternity recruiter has only one real tool to do his job. It isn’t events. It isn’t free food. It isn’t a cool house. It’s conversations. All recruitment happens in one place - in the conversations between your members and your potential members. But too often those conversations are either surface level nonsense, or random, unintentional, and more like word-vomit (regurgitating useless info and facts like a Wikipedia page, rather than creating meaningful connections). Stop puking your fraternity facts on your PNMs! In this session, you’ll learn the three recruitment conversations that great recruiters consistently use, and you’ll be able to simplify your approach to relationship-building with potential members.
