NPHC Un-KCUF: Re-evaluating Masculinity, Chants & Image Within the Fraternities 101-102 | #701 | Risk Reduction and Management
NPHC fraternities have served as support systems for members on various campuses, as well as provided growth and development in the areas of social, intellectual and civic engagement. Misogynistic songs and acts, hyper-masculine aggressions and a depreciation for organizations’ founding ideals are forcing colleges and universities to revisit accountability standards for fraternities and sororities. This interactive session will address these concerns and provide participants practical ways to enjoy the social part of collegiate membership in an NPHC organizations while building and maintaining positive relationships with their institutions.

Four Councils, One Community
308 | #702 | Council Management Just For Professionals
We live in an ever-changing, multicultural, and interconnected world. Why would our council advisement look any different? Many fraternity/sorority professionals serve as a primary advisor to one or more councils. However, when it comes to students and their challenges and development, we are doing a disservice to only work with one advisor and only work with one council. At Iowa, we have primary and co-advisors for each of our four councils. Each position serves on a committee with their colleagues from each council and that committee is assigned to another staff member. Communication, collaboration, and community is built through this model, and we have found success and broader support for our community. We will spend time going over Iowa’s current model, share best practices, and discuss the challenges that come up every so often.

You Are More Than Your Resume
208 | #705 | Leadership Development High-achieving student leaders get addicted to accolades. From joining countless organizations to accumulating titles upon titles, the student leadership mindset is one which encourages more. More positions, more meetings and, sadly, more lines on the resume. Casey J. Cornelius, Founder and CEO of ForCollegeForLife, challenges attendees in this program to focus on quality and not quantity. In the attempt to build a strong resume and leadership history, we must not forget that resumes and leadership positions are not the goal; instead, leadership is about the opportunity to serve, to empower others and, ultimately, to make things better for others. This program is designed to help new student leaders at the beginning of their leadership journey. Casey J. Cornelius, ForCollegeForLife forcollegeforlife@gmail.com
