PRE-CONFERENCE PROGRAMS THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 3:00-6:00 P.M PRIORITIZING THE PNM IN THE PANHELLENIC RECRUITMENT PROCESS White River C-D One of the goals of the Panhellenic recruitment process is to create an environment where women understand the experience and are not overly stressed by the process and feel valued in the experience. Many potential new members often report back that while they were happy with the end result, they were overwhelmed by the experience.

THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 3:00-6:00 P.M READY, SET, ACTION: CHAPTER MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE LENS OF AN EQUIPPED LEADER White River I-J Leadership requires action. As new leaders, what do we take on first? Should our focus be on the constitution and by-laws, institution policy, or organization compliance?

This program will equip you with a hybrid (virtual and/or in person) approach to ensure you are managing your chapter and meeting with every layer of compliance while still having a memorable collegiate experience. Leadership should enhance your experience, not deter you from success.

This leadership program will leave you empowered to take chapter management to the NEXT level as organization leaders.

BUILDING MENTAL HEALTH INSTITUTE Room 304/305 Program #502

The Chapter Presidents Institute will provide resources, skills, and leadership development opportunities for chapter presidents of all councils in areas that are geared towards helping them succeed as leaders of their organizations.

Mental health issues were already one of the largest challenges that sororities and fraternities were facing. All of the elements of the pandemic have made mental health an even larger concern. College students are experiencing higher rates of suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety and loneliness. This institute focuses on steps that community leaders can take to educate members about mental health and provide skills for them to address these challenges.

Participants will spend time with fellow presidents from across the country as they learn more about their leadership styles and how to accelerate progress within their chapters and communities. Whether the individual is a new chapter president or approaching the end of the term, participants will leave this academy inspired to lead and ready to take action.

Navigating the Hard Stuff: Reset Your Mindset for Leadership Success JESSGENDRON

OPENING GENERAL SESSION

FRIDAY GENERAL SESSION

When Jessica was diagnosed with cancer in 2021, she learned quickly she needed to reset her mindset to recover and navigate the journey successfully. Frequently we as leaders are confronted with challenges we aren’t prepared for, much less knew would be part of the job. Like Jessica, however, learning how to control your mindset is paramount in achieving your goals. Even if you fail, your mindset allows you to bounce back quickly and grow from the experiences.

Did COVID make us worse at community? Probably.

After all, it forced us indoors, required us to be socially distant, and made us use our phones more than we should have. Now, as we emerge from the pandemic and try to navigate the "real" worlds of academics, society, and relationships, what should we do to make sure our communities are more resilient than ever?

This impactful program will introduce you to how to reset and implement your mindset as an individual and leader by harnessing the power of mantras, gratitude, breathing, and self-awareness. Jessica is ready to share with you how she applied these techniques throughout her cancer journey (the mistakes and all) - and how you can apply them in your life and leadership position right now!

Blackballed: Campus Racism, Fraternalism, and You.

Let's Fix It ... if you want to

ALPHA1906

DRLORIHART

SATURDAY GENERAL SESSION

CLOSING GENERAL SESSION

Every college student should walk on their campus thinking about racism. Whether it's in their fraternity or sorority, within social media, or the hate crimes that happen to minority students, no one should think that campus racism is someone else's problem. The Blackballed lecture is a blunt and frank lecture that brings clarity to the issue. Based on Lawrence Ross' book, Blackballed: The Black & White Politics of Race on America's Campuses, the Blackballed lecture talks about how a pseudophilosophy like white supremacy leads to the systemic racism that affects us historically and today, particularly within NIC and NPC. You're not responsible for not knowing about campus racism, but you are responsible for taking action when you do. Blackballed is a call to action for everyone, students, administrators, and faculty, to take that action.

Let’s fix what? What are the problems? The fundamental component of strategic planning is to understand the actual problem before trying to find solutions. No one can expect college students - or fraternity and sorority leaders - to fix the public health issues around alcohol, hazing, sexual misconduct, racism, drugs, suicide (and the list goes on). BUT what are you willing to address? What are the worst behaviors we are willing to confront within your community?

Let's fix something and leave our communities better.

VANSTEENBERGEN We Were Made For This WHITE RIVER F Program #002 TINARAEVAN

ED BLOCK 2 // 10:45–11:45 A .M. The power of sisterhood is what makes sorority special. It’s also what has kept sororities alive. Over time, sorority has survived every challenge thrown our way. Financial depressions, war, even global pandemics. Every time, sororities survive. Because that’s what we do! When women come together in powerful, supportive friendships, we are unstoppable. But leaving the pandemic in the past does not mean sororities are done confronting challenges. We have recruitment practices that need reinventing. We have mean girl behavior we need to check. We have racist pasts to reckon with. We were made to survive. Of this, I am certain. It is through the power of sisterhood that we will--if we meaningfully refocus on sisterhood. This conversation will prepare you to invest powerfully in the women and friendships in your community so that together we can confront the hard. Bring on the hard. Because, we were made for this.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, accumulating research suggests that college students with certain learning disabilities experience greater psychological and emotional difficulties than other students and use alcohol and drugs at higher rates.

ED BLOCK 4 // 4:15-5:30 P.M. Lawrence Ross, author of The Divine Nine: The History of African American Fraternities and Sororities, challenges undergraduate NPHC members to think about what they want their NPHC organizations to be for a 21st Century America. What's the strategy? What's the end goal?

And why is unity overrated and self-defeating? This discussion will give undergrads the one tool they need to take their chapter and organization forward instead of backward.

ED BLOCK 6 // 2:20–3:35 P.M. What if I told you it was more important for Black people to be liberated from anti-Black racism, than it is for you to be PERCIEVED as a good person? Over the year of 2020, we saw an increased level of awareness in non-Black people on the real issues of anti-Black racism across the United States, which led to an increase in performative activism. The drive the appearance of allyship without true advocacy is dangerous, and creates toxic spaces for our Black students. This talk dives into this phenomena, its impacts, and what real allyship looks like with Black people.

WHITE RIVER F Program #008 JAMESTROBO

ED BLOCK 5 // 10:45-11:45 A .M. Men, in your past when you were challenged or in a tough spot what was your response? Did you get defensive? Did you make excuses? Did you try to shift blame? Did you listen? Did you fall back into an old routine? It’s time to be reflective not just reactive.

Men we have a choice to make: are we going to be cool or great?

In this program we’ll laugh at ourselves while analyzing deep topics such as fear, coping mechanisms, love, and how they relate to men’s mental health and brotherhood. Do you have courage to join me in putting in the work? Throughout this program, attendees will hear how fighting chronic depression and selling drugs across campus as a D1 athlete led Darryll Stinson to multiple suicide attempts, all because he never felt like he was "enough".

Today, Darryll is a successful entrepreneur, professional speaker, and happy / healthy family man dedicated to sharing his story with others so they can achieve their best life as well.

ED BLOCK 2 // 10:45–11:45 A .M. A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, or culture is like a tree with no roots"- Marcus Garvey. As members of culturallybased fraternal organizations (NPHC, NMGC, NALFO, NAPA), we are responsible for deepening our cultural roots and owning the story we have to tell. Too often, the voices of CBFO are made faint or not seen as traditional fraternities and sororities, when that couldn't be any further from the truth. It's time for our communities to hear our voices, know our stories, and feel our impact as we level up our growth efforts.

ED BLOCK 3 //2:30-3:45 P.M. When we examine Cancel Culture, we must unpack privilege.

Privilege such as: White privilege, Religious privilege, Gender privilege, Heterosexual privilege, and Socio-economic privilege.

Privilege is not designed to make people feel guilty. Through this program, we will educate each other on how to use our privilege to make the systems we were born into fairer. Alexandra D’amour states, “Cancel culture has been incredibly effective at combating sexism, racism.” Cultural Awareness and education will be the key that penetrates years of oppression and opens the door of equality.

ED BLOCK 5 // 10:45–11:45 A .M. Real. Tangible. Powerful. Emotional. Blunt. These are all words students used to describe Dr. Louis Profeta’s lecture. He is an emergency room physician, instructor of medicine and author of the book, “The Patient in Room Nine Says He’s God.” Dr. Profeta speaks at universities all around the country, sharing a perspective 25 years as an ER doctor has given him. “They will blame you for the death of their child until the day they die,” he read to the audience gathered. “Are you ready for that?'

That is what he tells students. “If you have to think about whether or not it’s the right thing to do, then it’s the wrong thing to do.”

Represented by Greek University

Let’s be honest- we’re all talking about sex… AND we’re not having the same conversation. Talking about sex is hard. Talking about sexual violence is even harder. In our various councils, we turn to our brothers and sisters to discuss the good, the confused, and the unimaginable by saying “Something happened…”, or brushing it off with “it made me uncomfortable…”. With 20% of college age women and 6% of college age men being survivors of sexual assault we all need to get more comfortable with confidently discussing sex and real-life ways to prevent sexual violence, especially in our councils and organizations. This topic affects us …all of us! Every council. Every member.

They return to AFLV Central to share their stories, talk about their efforts for change, but more importantly to challenge fraternity members to take up the fight to end hazing now.

Whether you’ve been hazed, know that hazing is happening on your campus, or even if you’ve hazed one of your members in the past, we all must actively take part in this solving this problem so that no family has to again endure what these families have. Let’s be the generation of fraternity members who end hazing, once and for all.

Room 302/303 // Program # 218

The structure of formal recruitment can limit the pool of prospective members in problematic ways. Prior to arriving at college, who is aware that SFL communities exist and knows when membership recruitment happens?

Probably not the first-generation college student. Who can attend events prior to the start of the academic term? Probably not the student who needs to work until the start of term to pay the recruitment fee. As sororities and fraternities (try to) focus more on inclusion and equity, chapters, communities, and campuses must engage in the complicated work of rethinking and reconstructing formal recruitment practices to broaden the prospective member pool who might hold historically excluded social identities related to race, social class, first-generation college student status, and geography, among others. Join this session to explore how to reconsider formal recruitment and learn how to collaborate across chapters, the community, and with campus offices to create a more inclusive and equitable formal recruitment process SONJA ARDOIN, PH.D Appalachian State University sonjaardoin@gmail.com JEREMIAH SHINN Louisiana State University jbs@lsu.edu

ON THE CUTTING PLEDGE: FRATERNITY WITHOUT A NEW MEMBER PERIOD MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

White River A // Program # 226

What does non-pledging really mean? While national organizations have multifaceted full member education programs, chapter leaders often wonder how to implement them in a campus culture of new member meetings and pledge education. This session will outline the policies and practices of fraternal organizations that do not have a pledge or new member period and focus on how campus-based professionals and headquarters-based professionals can better collaborate to support program implementation and provide accountability.

ADVISING NPHC: 6 YEARS OF LESSONS LEARNED

DIVERSITY + INCLUSION Room 309/310// Program # 268

Anyone who has advised a National Pan-Hellenic Council can tell you it can be one of the most rewarding experiences. After 6 years of advising National Pan-Hellenic Council member organizations and council executive officers, I've had my fair share of both rewards and challenges. Through my personal adventures with advising NPHC, I have created a model for campus based professionals that can be utilized to strengthen their advisory skills while enhancing the experience for members of this community.

SELF-CARE LIKE A BOSS HEALTH & SAFETY White River B // Program #275

Self-care – A word you hear often, but what does it really mean? Is there “helpful self-care” and “un-helpful self-care”.

(The answer is YES!) And in a field where "working all the time" is seen as a badge of honor, when does one practice self-care.

In this highly interactive session, professionals will first identify what self-care *really* is and then they will create their own personal Wheel of Self-care identifying areas of their overall wellbeing that need greater self-care support.

Data from Dyad Strategies reveals a deepening sense of distrust between campus administrators on one side and students, alumni and headquarters professionals on the other. The quality of those relationships has never been worse. Undergraduate fraternity leaders now often find themselves allied with their headquarters against their host institution. Many headquarters are more and more willing to operate unrecognized chapters organized into independent IFC’s. Alumni volunteers find themselves increasingly at odds with University administrators. The tension created by these devolving relationships puts campus-based FSL professionals in increasingly difficult positions. As a follow-up to the Dyad podcast on the same topic (Episode 2.2), this panel will explore the trust gap, its causes, and strategies to help FSL professionals navigate the complexities of the work in a way that builds trust and positive relationships.

Culturally-based sororities and fraternities (CBSFs) are a crucial component of sorority and fraternity life communities, but our field has to do more to support these groups. This session will focus on the livelihood of CBSFs by unpacking some of the challenges faced

by CBSFs and opportunities to better support these organizations to ensure they thrive on campus. This workshop will give attendees the chance to reflect on discussion topics, share campus experiences, and collaborate with others to construct action items to implement within their campus communities to prioritize the needs of CBSFs.

BEST PRACTICES, WORST PRACTICES AND EMERGING TRENDS IN ORGANIZATIONAL CONDUCT PROCESSES HEALTH & SAFETY Room 302/303 // Program #298

One of the last truly unexplored (or at least unsettled) frontiers in student affairs is exactly how campuses should structure their organizational investigation and adjudication procedures. These processes vary wildly from campus to campus, with some campuses treating organizations no differently than individual students, and some campuses with fully developed organizational processes running parallel to the traditional student conduct process. But what works best? What should campuses be doing? And, perhaps most importantly, what role should the campus fraternity/sorority advisor play in that process?

FRATERNITIES & SORORITIES MATTER: LET'S PROVE IT. ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH White River I// Program #308

We know the experience our organizations provide is life-changing.

Yet, amidst polarizing campus protests, members struggle to answer tough questions from their peers. Advisors are navigating increasingly complex dynamics, and some question if their time is worth it. Parents are deterred by negative media headlines, and administrators are asking more and more often, "Is this relevant?"

We have a good story to tell, and too often, we simply don't share it. In the last two years, more research than ever has proven the value of fraternities and sororities, from how we boost members' success to our impact on positive mental health, and from the connections membership furthers to the advantages members see in their careers. This interactive session will explore how to use our own "story" to share the clear value of the fraternity and sorority experience. It's time.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR: THE REALITIES OF STUDENT AFFAIRS CAREERS LIFE AFTER COLLEGE Room 311 // Program #429

Many times involved college students are encouraged by their advisors and mentors to consider a career in student affairs or higher education. This pathway can be a meaningful career pathway for some, if they are clear on what they are signing up for, and it might feel like a "bait and switch" for those who might believe that student affairs work is all fun and meaningful learning and no politics or salary disparities. The latter is often the case for the approximately 50% of folks who leave the field before they hit the five year mark, while the former is fostered by knowing oneself, gathering information, and making informed choices.

The facilitator of this session will share from her own and others' research on the realities of student affairs careers as well as her personal experiences in the field. Participants are encouraged to bring their questions, frustrations, and joys as points of discussion.

When it comes to avoiding burns, there are prevention messages, from using sunscreen to “caution hot liquid” warnings. However, that same prevention strategy is not applied to our lives in regard to burnout. In this session, you will be introduced to a model that builds resilience to burnout. You will create a personalized sustainability and wellness plan. This is not about finding balance; you will learn to observe your wellness, prepare for burn events and recover in your personal way.

PERFECT ISN'T REAL: EXPOSING THE LIES WE BELIEVE MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

Room 306 // Program #210

We've all felt pressures to be "enough" based on unachievable standards in media, society, and our social norms. Often times we are raised to believe that "perfection" is a realistic expectation so we mask our insecurities, avoid what is vulnerable and sit in shame and perceived failure when we turn out to be humans. What if we decide that it's enough to be beautifully flawed? Let's have grace for ourselves and chase our dreams to our fullest potential.

Exposing lies that create unrealistic expectations transforms our confidence and our communities.

In this program we will have critical conversations around having clout in our organizations while maintaining our founder’s beliefs, character and standards.

A new strategy for fraternity/sorority growth has emerged on campuses in the last couple of years. It's not overly complicated.

There are no complex methodologies or intricate formulas to memorize. AND it's a concept that activists around the world have used for a long time. Imagine a small group of high-performing fraternity/sorority members... Maybe 10, 20... from all councils.

This group of leaders is solely dedicated to increasing interest/ registration in joining the community. Does your campus have a "Fraternity/Sorority Street Team?" If not, let's organize one here!

Room 102 // Program #251

Culturally-based sororities and fraternities (CBSFs) were founded to uplift Communities of Color within a society that centers whiteness—their very existence disrupted these patterns within sorority and fraternity life. Given this history and their continued legacies of advocacy for social justice causes within campus communities, CBSFs are positioned to be leaders in centering social justice and equity within sororities and fraternities. However, to do so CBSF members must first reflect on areas for growth within their own chapters. This session will offer members of CBSFs the opportunity to do this reflective work and dig more deeply into the “why?” behind their organization and chapter mission and aims as well as ways members can advocate for increased campus support. The facilitator will guide attendees through content and reflective work to identify takeaways to strengthen commitments to centering equity expansively within culturally-based sororities and fraternities moving forward.

By exploring the ways that authenticity and personal wellness connect, we open the door for honest conversations about how we support our members during crises.

Room 307 // Program #293

REAL TALK

Recruitment is not only a rush, interest meeting, or an intake focused event. To position chapters and councils for successful recruitment; we must look at programmatic thrust, approachability, and social media presence. Chapters have established traditions that provide parameters of membership entry that are not aligned with institution and national policy. We explore what intentionality looks like as members; seeking to grow and expand on campus.

This session will reignite the purpose in which members joined and equip them to share that purpose through various recruitment efforts for exponential growth.

Real talk is needed to tackle sexual misconduct prevention in NPHC and MGC chapters. BIPOC and other marginalized student identities are less likely to report at PWIs.

Interest saw your presentation/yard show. They already "checked out the website". They don't need to hear you recite history again. What they need is a connection!

THE INCREASINGLY SOCIAL NATURE OF THE FRATERNITY/SORORITY EXPERIENCE MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

White River C // Program #494

Longitudinal research reveals a disturbing trend - fraterniteis and sororities are becoming more and more social in nature. Many of these trends were evident prior to, and were then exacerbated by, the COVID-19 pandemic. In this session, we will explore these trends, provide an explanation for these trends, and provide strategies for confronting these trends head on.

SELF-CARE LIKE A BOSS HEALTHY + SAFETY

White River G // Program #496

Self-care – A word you hear often, but what does it really mean?

Is there “helpful self-care” and “un-helpful self-care”. (The answer is YES!) In this highly interactive session, students will first identify what self-care *really* is and then they will create their own personal Wheel of Self-care identifying areas of their overall wellbeing that need greater self-care support.

"BUT THE LINK ISN'T OPEN YET": MARKETING THE OTHER 300+ DAYS A YEAR ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

White River H // Program #497

Does your Panhellenic countdown the days to when the primary recruitment registration link goes live? Then, when it's finally "live" do you push it into everyone's Instagram bios, post it anywhere and everywhere you can, and constantly nudge prospective members to check out the "link in bio" to REGISTER, REGISTER, REGISTER! That's not marketing. That's begging. Let's talk about more strategic ways to elevate your campus Panhellenic marketing strategy.

Let's help PNMs better understand what it means to be a sorority member and find the right organization for them.
