Standards Policy 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. 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 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. 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.

PROFESSIONALS’ INSTITUTE SWITCH: a change management workshop
Sponsored by: Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors
Marina 1 | Program #007 *Pre-Registration required
Why is change so hard? The primary obstacle is a conflict that’s built into our brains, say Chip and Dan Heath, authors of the critically acclaimed bestseller SWITCH. Research shows that our minds are ruled by two different systems — the rational mind and the emotional mind — that compete for control. The rational mind wants a great beach body; the emotional mind wants that Oreo cookie. The rational mind wants to change something in the chapter; the emotional mind loves the comfort of the “we’ve always done it this way.” This tension can doom a change effort — but if it is overcome, change can come quickly.

End Hazing Now
Thursday : 7:15 PM – 8:45 PM | Grande Ballroom BC
Friday : 8:45 AM – 10:30 AM | Grande Ballroom BC
because I said I would is a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to the betterment of humanity through promises made and kept. Sparked by the loss of his father, Alex began sending promise cards to anyone who requested them at no cost. Since his father’s passing on September 4th, 2012, because I said I would has sent over 9.81M promise cards to more than 150 countries. Alex’s commitment to the betterment of humanity has inspired millions and his promises have been shared virally around the world.
The families of Tim Piazza, Max Gruver, Marquise Braham, and Harrison Kowiak each suffered unimaginable loss as a result of fraternity hazing. We welcome them to AFLV West to share their stories and to challenge ALL fraternity/ sorority members to take up the fight to end hazing now. If we are not actively part of this solving this problem, then we are responsible for its continued persistence.

The Generation Z Greek Experience Meghan Grace | @meghanmgrace
Saturday : 9:00 AM – 10:30 AM | Grande Ballroom BC
With Generation Z making up the majority of the student population within colleges and universities, today’s college students are no longer Millennials. So the chapter experiences, processes, and practices that were created for Millennials may no longer resonate with fraternity/ sorority members today. More than being different than the Millennials who came before them, Generation Z is ready to take on issues facing their campuses, communities, and the world. Are our organizations supporting Generation Z members and promoting their efforts to make a positive impact on the world? Agency: Plaid
Sunday : 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM | Grande Ballroom BC
You’ve worked hard to get here. You’ve followed the rules, beat out your peers, stayed up late, tried to help everyone you can. And you’re tired. When you stop moving, you realize you aren’t taking care of yourself. Your motivation starts to dwindle and you wonder why you push so hard. Welcome to High Achiever Land. A place where leaders end up when they’ve put others before themselves for too long. A place where you show up stressed, burned out, and tired. In High Achiever Land, we are comforted by responsibilities. We love having people who look up to us. We love people asking for help. We work hard, we don’t say “no” and we wake up each day with a weight on our shoulders. As soon as we accomplish something, there’s a new hill to climb. Are you prepared to lead and also celebrate your accomplishments in the process? Agency: Ignite Development

How Women Will End Hazing Friday : 2:15 PM – 3:30 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #001
“The world will be saved by the western woman.” The Dalai Lama, 2009. This session will encourage the natural tendencies of women to utilize transformational leadership to create lasting change. Research is reinforcing what many have known for decades - women are capable of solving some of our most intractable problems, including hazing. Women at the local level can change the face of a community by standing up for their values, and refusing to participate in activities that are mean-spirited, dangerous or demeaning. Early anti-hazing activists were mostly men utilizing masculine-style scare tactics, highlighting legal ramifications and focusing on risk management. As more women have entered the fray, prevention is gaining ground. This approach promotes collaboration, moral development, and human dignity and fosters organizational culture change.

Using Recruitment to Positively Change Fraternity Culture Saturday : 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM | Nautilus 5 | Program #003
The best companies, organizations, and teams recruit top talent year-round. Fraternities fail to capitalize on this model by recruiting only one or two times a year. This session will discuss the positive impact of yearround recruitment as it relates to member’s motivation to join, involvement during their undergraduate years, and how chapter performance data improves. You’ll leave with actionable next steps for your campus, IFC, or organization to implement year-round recruitment.

Unmasking Leadership
Friday : 3:45 PM – 5:15 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #002
We seem to wear a limitless number of masks (or Instagram filters), so it is easy to hide behind a false identity. It’s time we unveil the power of authenticity and vulnerability. Everyone has struggles, insecurities, and flaws. What if we recognized the power in sharing our truths rather than painting a picture of perfection? The best leaders inspire as they draw from a well of strength and humility that comes from the confidence of being comfortable with oneself – flaws and all. In this program, participants will learn how to connect with others and reach their potential through self-awareness, vulnerability, and confidence in being who they are.
For years, IFCs have evaluated their campus culture and worked to make fraternal communities a safer place for everyone. Some did this in the face of a major tragedy and others felt it was time. Those leaders recognized there was a problem and decided a significant change was required. Fast forward to August 2018, when the 66-member groups of the NIC voted to remove alcohol greater than 15% ABV from all facilities by September 1, 2019. This fall, over 90% of the fraternity men on your campus will return to school with new policies around alcohol at events and their facilities. So, as new leaders of your IFC or your chapter, what do you do? Where do you start? Join us as we talk through the new alcohol policies, how they will impact the IFC fraternity experience, and 12how you can best execute on this historic social change. 11

A Complete Life: Why Mental Health Matters Most Saturday : 3:00 PM – 4:15 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #005
With a family history of mental health disorders, Colleen Coffey was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and obsessive/compulsive disorder at a young age, but she did not get correct treatment until much later in life. In spite of a high school and college career that included leadership positions, starring roles, and popularity, she silently suffered panic attacks, extreme stress, and feelings of emptiness. In her 20’s, she found proper treatment and worked hard to become well and stay well. Now, Colleen is devoted to highlighting that mental health disorders are often a product of biology or environment (or both), and recovery is possible, stigma is useless, and everyone holds the power to transform communities. This program chronicles her story of dealing with and surviving mental health issues. Agency: Active Minds, Inc / Phired Up Productions
Kym Hilinski | @hilinskishope
Sacrificing Our Secrets for Status: Addressing Suicide & Mental Health Saturday : 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM | Nautilus 5 | Program #006
Tyler Hilinski was the starting quarterback at Washington State University. On the outside, he seemed to have it all. When Tyler died by suicide, it shocked the community and everyone in athletics. As his family dealt with the grief of losing him, they decided to create Hilinski’s Hope, an organization to change the way people learn about mental health. Just like Tyler, many of us have an external life that everyone sees and an internal life filled with pain. In this session, featuring Tyler’s mom, Kym Hilinski, participants will learn about suicide, how to help each other, and the powerful hope that can grow out of devastation.

From Solo to Ensemble: Leading With Your Members Leadership Development
Marina 1 | Program #101
If you want something done right you better do it yourself, right? Wrong. That mentality will put you on the fast track to burnout and your members on the road to apathy. In this session, we will discuss ways to remove some of that burden from yourself and more effectively engage all members in leading your chapter to success. Individually you are strong, but together you are powerful. Turn your sisterhood, brotherhood, or siblinghood into an unstoppable force. Lynsy Karrick-Wikel, Lynsy Leads, lynsy@lynsyleads.com
Getting a Seat at the Table: Empowering Culturally-Based Groups in White Spaces Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders
Social Justice
Nautilus 1 | Program #102
Representation for fraternity/sorority members of color is more important now than ever before. Even though college campuses are more diverse, culturally-based fraternal organizations (CBFOs) remain an afterthought. This interactive session will help you bring attention to the CBFO experience. More individuals from underrepresented communities have been elected to congress than ever before. Now it’s our generation’s chance to become the change makers. Through conversations and best practices, you will learn how to get a seat at campus administrators’ table and make lasting, systemic change.

IFC Recruitment By The Numbers Intake / Membership Recruitment Marina 5 | Program #103
This academic year, more than 100,000 men will join one of the 6,100+ fraternity chapters thriving on more than 800 campuses. Which means only about 10% of students attending colleges and universities where fraternity/sorority life exists end up joining. We can do better! There are hundreds and sometimes thousands of men on college campuses who deserve and desire the benefits of fraternity in their life, but our recruitment processes and our marketing work isn’t reaching them. This session will pool statistics and numbers from multiple studies to show how chapters are recruiting, how chapters could recruit, and how fraternity can become dramatically better if we just improved a few key numbers.

Redefining the Panhellenic Social Experience from the Student Leader Perspective Risk Reduction & Management
Nautilus 4 | Program #104
Recently, the Penn State Panhellenic Council implemented efforts to create cultural change through social events and risk management. The session will focus on how to empower your leaders and community members to have a voice in social events and risk management decisions. The challenges, accomplishments, and intended/unintended consequences the Penn State Panhellenic Vice President for Standards has faced will be shared to empower your community of women to create change and give your Panhellenic a voice. The program will provide: guidance and examples on effective risk management techniques; how to hold members of the fraternity/sorority community accountable; successful communication, relationshipbuilding, and negotiation tools with various stakeholders (both student and university administration level); and women’s empowerment initiatives.

MGC Growth: The Right Way Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders Intake / Membership Recruitment Marina 3 | Program #105
We want quality members. So shouldn’t we work to find the best people on campus to join our chapters? We have to stop waiting for the ones that come to us. This program covers the “Why did you join?” conversation to replicate it to help you attract more members just like you. We’ll also cover the important topic of why students are not joining your chapter, and the reasons they aren’t joining cultural groups will surprise you. Finally, we’ll discuss marketing and branding your organization to appeal to your audience. We must get the message to the right people. We all want the best members, so let’s work on ways for you to find them and to help your chapter become stronger. Sam Centellas, Outsight Consulting, sam@centellas.org

It Costs Zero Dollars to Be a Good Person Fraternal Values
Marina 6 | Program #106
When did it become cool not to care? Why do so many people get joy out of being petty at someone’s else’s expense (e.g. the entire internet)? And why are we okay letting this happen? Through an exploration of Gen Z trends and the philosophy of Social Excellence, this presentation will offer a pathway to manage rejection, conflict, and competition while remaining a good person. Perhaps the secret to our reputation problems, to meeting our growth potential, and to deepening our sense of siblinghood is as simple as choosing to invest in the daily work of helping our members be kind, caring, and thoughtful. It costs zero dollars to be a good person, and creating a chapter culture that cultivates goodness out of each of us is exactly what our organizations (and our world) need. Abby Ford, Phired Up Productions, abby@phiredup.com
Leadership Hacks for Leaders & Non-Leaders Leadership Development
Seabreeze 1 | Program #107
Being a leader is not easy. You have to make unpopular decisions and manage difficult personalities, all while cultivating a positive culture! But there are tools, secrets, proven methods for being an effective (and loved) leader. From stepping into your power, aligning your community’s vision, and even using humor to build bonds, we will dive into the hacks for positive, impactful leadership. No matter where you are at in your leadership journey, this session will give you real-life, tangible ways of taking immediate and positive action in leading your community.

Raising funds and awareness for men’s health causes: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, the moustache is our hairy badge of men’s health for you, your brothers, and all men. You can expect to walk away with a better understanding of the current men’s health crisis, what the Movember Foundation is doing about it, and how to effectively lead a philanthropic movement within your chapter and entire campus community. Note, the ability to grow a glorious lip sweater is not required to attend or participate. In fact, studies indicate the worst moustaches start the best conversations.

“Our Hazing Really Works!” You Sure About That? Health & Wellness
Marina 6 | Program #301
Members who support or practice hazing usually rely upon traditions and a cascade of emotional appeals, self-justification, and anecdotal evidence to support their contention that hazing plays an important role in a chapter. In this session, we will challenge conventional hazing arguments with logic and analysis, using facts rather than emotional arguments. We’ll also review five ways to change hazing practices and develop better ways to integrate new members into your chapter. If you’re ready to challenge the hazers and having some fun at the same time, this session is for you. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc., David.Westol@gmail.com
Brothers Are Different Than Buddies Intake / Membership Recruitment Nautilus 2 | Program #302
Let’s recruit men for our brotherhood, not our buddyhood. Brothers are different than buddies, but many chapters have forgotten this simple truth. We seem to value potential members who are chill even though we want driven gentlemen who will actively help us achieve our organization’s purpose. The key to shifting from buddy recruitment to brotherhood recruitment requires starting with a deep understanding of our product. What is a fraternity? What is a fraternity man? What is brotherhood? Those three questions seem incredibly simple on the surface. However, many chapters misunderstand them (or never bother considering them), and that causes more problems than you might be aware. This session is an opportunity to talk, as gentlemen, about these three vital questions and their impact on recruitment and our overall organizations.

We want to help you if you want to make a change in your chapter to keep it free of hazing.

The Snowball Effect: How “Light Hazing” Leads to Tragedy Risk Reduction & Management
Marina 2 | Program #305
Hazing is often misunderstood and overlooked taking root on our campuses and in our organizations, sometimes without us realizing. We say we are teammates, siblings, friends and even family, but do families intimidate, humiliate, or endanger one another? This session is designed to discuss how a hazing culture begins and snowballs over time from “light hazing” to a dangerous cancer. Through an interactive activity, we will put the organizational culture pieces together to ensure hazing does not take root in your chapter or on your campus.

Identifying Habits: The Chronic Behaviors Preventing Organization Success Chapter Management

Have you always wanted to know more about the who, what, why, or how behind the National Panhellenic Conference? If so, join NPC as we dig deep discussing a variety of topics like Unanimous Agreements, NPC policies, Panhellenic operations, officer roles and responsibilities, and the true purpose of Panhellenic. NPC wants to work with and support you in advancing your Panhellenic in 2019!
As organizations, we develop habits impacting our daily functions, just like we have daily habits impacting us as a person. These habits have developed over time and either make our organization better, hinder our success, or stall progress. In this session filled with discussion and activities, participants will walk through an exercise to identify the negative habits of their groups engrained in their culture, learn how to change these habits by applying “The Habit Loop,” and leave with a collaborative, values-focused action plan for addressing the habits they identified.

Real Talk & The Right Mix: Alcohol & Other Drugs Health & Wellness
Nautilus 3 | Program #307
The increased availability and abuse of opioids and other drugs presents significant but overlooked risks for our members. The opioid crisis, campus deaths, and stories of lethal drug combinations are too common. College education programs focused on other drugs, risks, and negative consequences for today’s college student are often overshadowed by alcohol-only education. This program challenges perceptions and clarifies drug misperceptions and facts for alcohol, opioids, cocaine, molly, prescription, and predatory drugs. Fresh, researchdriven topics will leave attendees feeling informed and empowered to support real-world strategies within organizations. Harm reduction supports healthier choices, informs decision-making, and resets perceptions. Real talk. Real answers. Bobby Gordon, CAMPUSPEAK, bobby@bobbygordon.com
Dangers of Drinking & Hiding: The Connection Between Substance Abuse & Mental Health Risk Reduction & Management
Marina 4 | Program #310
Peace of mind, success, and becoming your best self is possible for every college student. In this session, participants will discover what’s behind unhealthy behaviors and abusing/ misusing substances. They’ll also learn it is okay to speak openly about struggles (like stress, mental illness, abuse, transition, or trauma) to help normalize help-seeking and help-offering behavior. Participants will break down traditional and stigmatized views around mental health as well as substance abuse/misuse. Finally, they’ll explore replacing an unhealthy coping mechanism, like substance abuse/misuse, with the development of healthy coping skills.

My Hazing Evolution Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders Risk Reduction & Management
Seabreeze 2 | Program #309
As a member of an MGC organization, I believed in the way we did things. We had a strong chapter, we won all the awards, and we hazed. As long as we weren’t drinking pledges to death, or beating them up, it was fine. Right? It took a volunteer experience, when I learned about shared trauma, that I realized what we were doing to pledges was wrong. In this session, we’ll discuss how I went from hazed, to hazer, to a national anti-hazing advocate. As a founding board member of the National Hazing Prevention Week and national speaker, I have heard every excuse. Let’s discuss the MGC perspective on hazing, and why we can building strong chapters and members, the right way. Sam Centellas, Outsight Consulting, sam@centellas.org

Good leaders and chapters are not able to succeed because they’re busy cleaning up after those who don’t get it.

This program allows them to go on a global learning trip with other campus leaders to gain perspectives on leadership. Once they return, they create an initiative around what they learned. This presentation will examine the initiative that was created in 2017 and how it has been continually grown by those who have been in the role after: the addition of a Director of Diversity & Inclusion position to the council. It will share the research completed over the past two years and how it has informed what the priorities of the Director of Diversity & Inclusion position include.

Are you frustrated with male/female dynamics on your campus? Do you feel powerless to do anything about it? You have a lot more control than you think you do! In this session, learn why the power of female friendships is so effective and how to communicate with your male counterparts in a way that will be heard, respected, and received. Participants will pinpoint their concerns and develop action plans.

Recruiting Gen Z Into The Modern Panhellenic Experience Panhellenic Recruitment
Intake / Membership Recruitment
Seabreeze 1 | Program #604
We probably don’t need to tell you all the facts about Generation Z … for many of you, you are a Gen-Zer (or on the cusp). But this new generation is demanding a Panhellenic experience that better reflects their values, priorities, and life experiences. It’s time for us to make an update to the way we recruit. This session will explore the new demands of today (and tomorrow’s) incoming students, and we will also dive deeply into meaningful discussion about ways to immediately transform our recruitment experiences to attract, select, and secure the right Generation Z women for our organizations.

Making Your Judicial Process Better Using Choice Theory Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs Marina 3 | Program #605
At some point, a member made a choice putting them in front of your judicial/standards board. Chances are it was a poor choice. How does that conversation go? What kind of sanctions do they get? Did they lose another social event? How about another fine or more service hours? And, how’s that working for the chapter? Let’s take a look at reframing how your judicial/standards board interacts with members to create results, all centered around choices. Dan Faill, CAMPUSPEAK, danielkfaill@gmail.com
Me: I’ve Neen Raped. Anonymous: Sleep it Off, Let’s Talk in the Morning. Risk Reduction & Management
Nautilus 2 | Program #606
It’s a conversation Brittany Piper never imagined having with her best friend after confiding in her that she had just been raped. Yet, in reality empathy-based prevention programs are becoming more common in the #MeToo era. So why are we having to retrain people to lead with empathy? Simply put — culture has taught us sexual violence is a normal part of life. Advertising, music, video games, and pornography (to name a few) have glamorized and sensationalized rape to the point we have become desensitized to it. This session will look at sexual violence through the lens of empathy — ultimately inspiring and empowering participants to support survivors, and also prevent rape from happening in communities and organizations.

He’s Not Gay. He’s In A Fraternity! LGBTQA
Seabreeze 2 | Program #609
We often assume we are accepting. However, some of our members are experiencing a never-ending hell they do not know how to articulate. In this session, we’ll explore your campus, community, and chapter cultures to assess the climate of acceptance for members who are openly gay, closeted, or questioning. We will also discuss how to change negative cultures through awareness and ally programs. This session is designed for all sexual orientations who understand that, based merely on percentages, we all have members who are gay, bisexual, out, closeted, or questioning.

When a crisis happens on your campus, emotions can run high and new challenges arise. And when media trucks arrive and tweets are flying, a difficult situation only gets tougher to manage. What would be a big job for a communications expert is an even greater challenge for a new council or chapter officer. This session will provide insight into navigating internal and external communication in a crisis situation, provide best-practice resources, and guide you through a real, hands-on example to practice.

Sexual Misconduct & CBFOs: It’s Time for Some Critical Conversations Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders Risk Reduction & Management
Marina 4 | Program #611
In examining the risk management programming for CBFOs, there is a key component missing from the equation − sexual misconduct education. Students of color and other marginalized identities are less likely to report at PWIs. These survivors stay hidden, or they feel pressured not to come forward because they don’t want to make things worse for other students from that identity on campus. Additionally, some CBFO traditions and group reputations are based on a false sense of pride capitalizing on sexualized situations. It’s time to provide engaging, innovative, and challenging sexual and relationship violence educational programming to our CBFO communities to lead change and shift the dialogue. Let’s tackle this together through collective action in creating sustainable change.

Nautilus 4 | Program #612
Using real cases, discover legal ramifications for campuses, the legal relationship between colleges/universities and fraternities/sororities, and recent events pointing to where the law is going. Participants will learn about the groupthink mentality and how it creates the environment for crimes like hazing and sexual assault. They’ll also review how groupthink leads to the minimization of inappropriate (and illegal) activity that can have negative long-term effects on individuals and groups. This session will compare legal duty to ethical duty, demonstrate the goal of operating ethically makes operating legally simple, and provide a real wake-up call.

Accountability Begins With “Why?”, Not “How” Leadership Development
Nautilus 4 | Program #702
It’s our first reaction when members don’t follow rules or policies or meet expectations. “How can we get X to do Y?” But the larger and deeper questions involve “Why?” Why are events mandatory? Why are members not coming to meetings? Why can’t we get quorum? Accountability begins with asking tough questions of ourselves. We’ll consider several models for change along with setting expectations for chapters, councils, and communities. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc., David.Westol@gmail.com
Seizing Cultural Credit: Advising Culturally-Based Organizations from an Outsider Perspective Professionals Only
Social Justice
Marina 1 | Program #703
If an advisor is not a member of a CBFO, they often hear these remarks: “You’re not in our organizations, so you don’t understand! You just don’t get it! You’re trying too hard to fit in!” Unaffiliated advisors and affiliates of nonCBFO groups can be at a loss in understanding the hidden clues to pass the tests their students expose them to in an effort to determine their cultural capital. Sometimes, FSL staff may reassign advisement of CBFOs to the multicultural affairs office; be hesitant in their interactions; and/or allow CBFOs to have their way in an attempt to build credit. To better relate to members of CBFOs, this session empowers advisors to bridge the perceived gap by balancing cultural competence, fraternal affiliation, and advising style.

Be A Leader You Would Follow Leadership Development
Nautilus 1 | Program #705
What type of leader would you follow? You’d probably pick someone who inspires people to achieve goals and dreams, is an adept listener and problem solver, and makes the team stronger through their character and integrity. They stand in contrast to what we see – leaders who lack these skills and default to micromanaging or doing all the work themselves when others don’t engage. The good news is that no one is born an authentic leader - it must be honed through experience and the mastery of leadership skills. Be leader you would follow by providing innovative tools to inspire others, attack team dysfunction, seek the greatest good, and muster the courage to Corey Ciocchetti, University of Denver, coreyciocchetti@gmail.com
“whoops” about a member? If either is true, learn how to fix it! Quality drives quantity. Our founders found individuals who lived by their values and invited them to join. We advertise and hope the right people sign up. We don’t recruit. We select.

Get past the buzzwords of “values based” recruitment and learn how to actually use your values to recruit members ready to live them.

What Sex Education Didn’t Teach Us: From a Survivor’s Perspective Risk Reduction & Management
Nautilus 2 | Program #706
At 20, Brittany Piper was brutally raped and beaten. Now ten years later, as a prevention expert who has worked in rape crisis centers in the darkest corners of the globe, her causation research has led back to one practice shared worldwide: we’re not talking about sex. In the U.S., only 24 states require sex education before college. And when taught, 37 states mandate abstinence education. The bottom line: we know nothing about consent, healthy relationships, and sexual assault. This session aims to correct the misconceptions we’ve normalized regarding consent, sex, hook-up culture, rape myths, and prevention. Participants will also be encouraged to talk about sex.

Intake / Membership Recruitment
Seabreeze 1 | Program #709
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 women should be highly trained to be guides, counselors, and mentors. The bad news is these positions are seen as a way 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 Panhellenic 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.

Safely Addressing the Stigma of Mental Health & Addiction Health & Wellness
Seabreeze 2 | Program #807
Fraternity Men Against Negative Environments & Rape Situations (FratMANers) and Sororities Invested in Survivor Support Training & Ending Rape culture (SISSTER) are health education programs for fraternity/sorority members that teach them about sexual violence, rape culture, alcohol/other drugs, law, resources, consent, bystander intervention, and how to facilitate discussions about these topics in group or intimate settings. Curricula is evidencebased and is designed to create change in the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of program members. With no program like this available, we are eager to share our lessons, experiences, and data-driven results.
Mental health and addiction are two of the fastest growing problems on college campuses. The negative stigma keeps people from getting the help they need. This presentation exposes participants to a new theory of the real cause of these issues and teaches you how to effectively and safely address them in your chapters. John Mabry shares his journey of becoming addicted while a member of his fraternity. Although he went on to act in Superbad, NCIS, and ER, he lost it all due to the negative stigma. This presentation will increase students’ willingness to encourage brothers/sisters to ask for help while providing life-saving resources.

Stress is omnipresent, but it doesn’t need to dominate your life. Without breaking down, taking short-cuts, or compromising your values you can be a valuable leader, an effective student, and productive community member. This presentation provides help through a stress test to identify your stress baseline and then valuable stress-reduction tips. Strength is critical as you move through your collegiate experience and the rest of your life. The idea is not to get rid of all of your stress (that is impossible). Rather, the idea is to mimic successful people who minimize their minor stressors, so they can focus on their major stress causers. Come and see!
