Conference Dress Business attire should be worn for all educational sessions of the conference. The Saturday evening banquet attire is a coat and tie for men and semi-formal dress for women. An additional opportunity has been added on Saturday to wear your because I said I would shirt with jeans up until the Recognition Banquet. These will be available for purchase on site. Follow us on Pinterest for examples of what is and is not appropriate to wear.

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. If you wish to make a general announcement, the deadline is noon the previous day. Announcements should be submitted in writing to the conference office in Spinnaker 1/2.

Educational 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.

Emergencies Please report injuries and illnesses to hotel security through the hotel operator and then contact an AFLV Staff Member in Spinnaker 1/2 and your advisor.

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 a 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 featured speakers.

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.

STANDARDS POLICY To ensure all AFLV Conferences continue to maintain a reputation for excellence and high standards, we have high expectations of appropriate behavior at each event. In an effort to minimize hotel security involvement, behavior standards will be monitored and enforced by the Conference Standards Team. 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 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. 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.

Hotel INFORMATION Check In Check in is at 3:00 p.m. You will be able to leave your luggage at the bellman station if you arrive early.

Check Out Check out on Sunday is at 11:00 a.m. 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 Sharaton 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 is $32 per car per day for self-parking and $37 per car per day for valet. If you have questions or need special parking arrangements, contact the Sheraton San Diego.

GET CONNECTED

ED SESSION Topics In an effort to help you select educational sessions that are

most applicable to your interests and position, sessions are categorized into 15 areas, many of which correspond with the AFLV Awards & Assessment process.

PROGRAM TOPICS ARE LISTED FOR EVERY ED SESSION. Using these topics is a great way to guide the decisions you make on which session to attend. Any participant is welcomed and encouraged to attend any session, regardless of category or conference.

• Academic Achievement • Community Service & Philanthropy • Council Management • Intake & Membership Recruitment • Leadership & Educational Development • Public Relations • Risk Reduction & Management • Self Governance & Judicial Affairs • Chapter Management • Fraternal Values • LGBTQA • Health & Wellness • Life After College • Social Entrepreneurship • Social Justice There are nine blocks of educational sessions throughout the conference.

All conference attendees are invited to attend any session in which they have interest. However, we’ve taken an extra step to identify sessions that have content targeted specifically for multi-cultural fraternity and sorority members with the NCGLC emblem.

COLLABORATE: Together WE are BETTER!

Thursday | 7:15PM - 8:45PM | Grande Ballroom BC I hate that chapter but I don’t know why or why do we have to work with that council‌are some of the phrases that Fraternity and Sorority members might say when there is a great need for Collaboration!

Would you rate the fraternities/sororities on your campus as being more competitive or collaborative? What about the councils? If your campus is like mine was, 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.

Your campus may not have embraced an appreciation for collaboration and how it can help ALL parties.

Learn how to integrate effective collaboration, how to grow the percentage of Greeks on campus, and how to change a potentially toxic culture. Have amazing fun learning how to build a bigger pie TOGETHER. Be inspired to fight for ALL Greeks.

TJ SULLIVAN @intentionaltjs

Motivating the Middle: Fighting Apathy in Your Chapter

Friday | 9:00AM - 10:30AM | Grande Ballroom BC Your chapter or council has thirds. Top-third leaders exert the most effort and influence, making your group their top priority. Middle-third members juggle competing priorities, and they care most about relationships. Bottom-third members are disengaged, potentially causing drama, or checked out. Based on his best-selling book, T.J. Sullivan will urge you to start motivating and leading your members based on their chosen level of engagement, adopting appropriate strategies that meet your members where they are, instead of where you wish they would be.

LAUREN COOK @thesunnygirl5

Rise to Shine: How to Live a Happier Life Starting TodaY

Sunday | 9:00AM - 10:15AM | Grande Ballroom BC Happiness looks different for each person, so how do we achieve joy regularly? Lauren highlights how to cultivate happiness through goal setting, gratitude, and giving back. She shares how we can take ownership of our lives and this begins with accountability, visualization, and mentors. Gratitude is also key: Lauren tells us how we can implement the life changing Five Daily Gratitudes. Lastly, Lauren highlights the need to give back. She informs how we can move past the urge to Netflix binge and invest our time where it really counts: in service.

These three G’s of Happiness are derived from the neurological underpinnings of joy. We often believe our intelligence, confidence, and optimism are psychologically static. False! With the concept of neuroplasticity, our brain can constantly evolve towards happiness. Audience members will feel inspired, motivated, and excited to take back their happiness and see a new trajectory for their lives.

THURSDAY FEATURED

ENTERTAINMENT @sexsignals

Sex Signals

Grande Ballroom BC | 11:00PM - 11:50PM A duo of highly-trained educators will take the audience on an interactive, relevant, and often hilarious exploration of how social pressures, gender and sexual stereotypes, unexamined privilege, unrealistic fantasies, and false preconceptions contribute to the tensions often found in dating and sex. Then, through several semi-improvisational scenes, the program will examine how these factors contribute to sexual assault and a society in which many members blame victims for the crimes perpetrated against them.

Sex Signals will delineate and define the nature of sexual violence, empower the audience to identify problematic and potentially predatory behavior in others, and to believe that the prevention of rape is a community responsibility. It will help the audience to identify opportunities to intervene as an upstander in incidences of sexual violence, and ultimately ask the audience to refocus their critical gaze at the actions of those who perpetrate sexual violence to change behaviors and encourage bystander intervention.

FRIDAY KJ MCNAMARA @KJMcNamara

Telling the Story of Sorority

Nautilus 5 | 10:45AM - 11:45AM Program 001 Tell me about your sorority! How would your members respond? Talking about our organizations, the stuff that 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.

BOBBY GORDON @drugspeaker

The Right Mix: Collegiate Alcohol/Drug Abuse

Nautilus 5 | 2:20PM - 3:20PM Program 002 While alcohol abuse continues to affect our fraternity and sorority communities, increased availability and abuse of prescriptions and “other drugs” on campus present significant but often overlooked risks for our members. Celebrity deaths and media stories of lethal drug combinations are becoming all too common. 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 cocaine, marijuana, molly/ecstasy, predatory drugs (rohypnol/”the date rape drug” & GHB), and prescriptions. Fresh and data-driven topics will leave attendees informed and empowered to support applicable, real-world, non-judgmental strategies within their organizations. Harm reduction messages will support healthier choices, informed decision-making and reset perceptions in this honest and informational presentation. Real talk.

Real answers.

FRIDAY ETHAN ZOHN @EthanZohn

Josie Ahlquist @josieahlquist

In this engaging and dynamic leadership program, Ethan will share a new perspective on the importance of why strong character - encompassing values like honesty, integrity, friendship and honor - is as important in today’s society as ever. Ethan embodies the idea that in order to win in life, we don’t have to compromise our values or do whatever it takes to succeed.

What would you want to go viral for online? Get ready to take your digital activity to the next level as a leader, equipped with new leadership skills for the digital age.

This session will challenge you to reflect on your digital activity and then provide you navigation tools for becoming a digital leader ready to make positive change on campus and beyond.

Nautilus 5 | 3:30PM - 4:30PM Program 003

Ethan will dissect the issue of character: how it’s built, and why it’s important to continue to develop, nurture, and refine it. Expounding on the major influences in his life, including his father’s death when he was 14, his experiences playing professional soccer in Africa, winning Survivor, co-founding the revolutionary global charity Grassroot Soccer, and crushing a rare form of cancer, twice, Ethan delivers dynamic, humorous, enlightening and more importantly, relatable lessons that fraternity and sorority leaders can apply in their chapters, councils, campuses, and beyond.

SATURDAY TIM MOUSSEAU @timmousseau

Retaking Our Story: Reframing the Sexual Assault Conversation Nautilus 5 | 10:45AM - 11:45AM Program 005

With a letter and a photograph, Tim was faced with the evidence of an experience he had no memory of – he was a victim of sexual assault. The next two years of his life were a struggle of mixed emotions, but over time he realized something—this was his story to tell and telling it empowered him and others.

Tim leads a deep and vulnerable conversation on the difficult topic of sexual assault drawing from his experiences and countless interactions with others through his advocacy work. Tim will help students understand why sexual assault involves an underlying culture of shame, information needed to facilitate healthy conversations, resources to assist in the survivor recovery process, and how the power of personal and community stories can be utilized in prevention. Students will leave feeling prepared to create a culture of compassion while realistically facing an issue prevalent on campuses across the country.

Sam Davidson @samdavidson

Community Wins

Nautilus 5 | 2:00PM - 3:00PM Program 006 Fraternities and sororities were established to leverage the power of community for a shared purpose. Leaders of chapter nowadays must build unity not just within their own organization, but across campus as well.

In this talk, Sam Davidson shares ways to create cohesive community and then enable that tightly knit group to make a major impact - on and off campus. Students will learn how to share a big vision that each member of a community can buy into and then turn each member into a passionate advocate for a group, cause, or idea.

Proven examples of successful student organizations will be shared and attendees will learn a four-step plan to put their community to work in a positive way.

From Friendship to Foreplay to Forever

#IWouldSoDateMe

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

Reporting on-line to be “in a relationship” is far from actually being in one as the speed of dating has accelerated dramatically. Add in the responsibilities of being a student leader and it gets even harder. Apps and sites like Tindr, Grindr, and Instagram have forever changed dating’s landscape. One post, one text or one picture can alter multiple lives in a moment at a time when colleges are promoting inclusivity, a culture of consent, and mature decision making. In a humorous, yet challenging way,

*For campus & HQ staff members and graduate students 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? This program will investigate all of these questions and more.

Marketing That Doesn’t Look Like a 4th Grade Bake Sale Marina 1 | Program 100 Public Relations

Fraternity and sorority is a beautiful thing. But the story we’re allowing to be told about us is hideous. It’s no wonder our reputations are in the dumpster because many of our marketing and P.R. efforts seem like they were designed by a clown convention. Sidewalk chalk. Glitter.

Homemade poster boards. This session provides real, practical, results-producing methods to market fraternity and sorority that are affordable, and that can make real reputational impact over time. Marketing isn’t about flash and pizazz. It’s about an amplification of our member’s stories so relationships can be more efficiently and effectively facilitated. Learn the 8 Essential Marketing Tactics and more!

New Members vs. Neos: Supporting All Students Who Join Your Community Nautilus 4 | Program 101 Intake / Membership Recruitment

No matter what council or chapter a student is becoming a part of, they are all joining the community at your school. All have similar needs and require similar support.

By holding trainings that are inclusive of all council members, we are able to support inclusion in our communities.

At the same time, we must allow and celebrate the differences. It is important these trainings and celebration not end after the new member process, and the celebration of diversity and sharing of stories must continue within the FSL community. This can happen by creating space for open and honest dialogue as well as challenging students to advocate for themselves. During this session, we will dive deeper into how advisors and the campus community can support students who just aren’t quite sure where to begin the conversation.

Nautilus 2 | Program 102 Leadership Development

How many times have you thought, “Never let them see me sweat.” We believe the opposite. Leading imperfectly allows you to identify root issues we keep hidden under a veil of perfection and everything is OK-ness. So often, we carefully and intentionally create a self-image of perfection so as to not look vulnerable or weak in our positions, or even worse clueless. By intentionally sharing imperfect and vulnerable stories about your experiences, it allows a deeper, more meaningful, connection with your peers.

In this session, your presenters will teach you the skills necessary to use imperfections as a strategic advantage in connection with people.

Better Friends, Better Sisters, Better Women Marina 2 | Program 103 Fraternal Values

Joining a sorority changes our lives. We use terms like sisterhood and values to describe what sorority brings to us, but at its core, sorority is about meaningful connections with other women. These powerful friendships are the real magic of sorority! And yet, we all know of girl-ongirl drama that’s taking place in our chapters and communities. We talk behind each other’s backs. We choose jealousy and resentment over support and love. We compete instead of congratulate. One of the real challenges in sorority leadership is bringing our sisters together in true friendship, setting aside some of our less-productive tendencies. Come learn how to help your sisters focus on the positive, powerful relationships by building some of your own!

Stop Apologizing! Let Your Confidence Shine

Marina 5 | Program 104 Leadership Development As a woman, you may have a natural tendency to apologize when an apology isn’t necessary, to push your ideas aside to give space to a louder voice, and to question your ability to lead when you don’t have all the experience requested. While society has placed many hurdles in front of you, you may find you’re often placing the highest hurdles on yourself. This session will take an honest look at the challenges standing in your way of being confident in who you are and what you bring to the table and instead dare you to be brave, stand tall, and let your leadership light shine.

Accountability: Easy to Say, Tough to Do Marina 3 | Program 105 Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs

We all wrestle with accountability including motivation to participate, attending meetings and helping your council or organization move forward. No matter how many members you have, accountability is always a challenge.

We’ll review standards and expectations making it easier for leaders to work with organizations. We’ll talk about five steps to confronting members informally and through a formal process. If you are tired of complaints, and guilt-tripping isn’t working for you, then bring your perspective to this session.

Wild Zebras & Purple Cows: Marketing Excellence for Culturally-Based Fraternities & Sororities

Seabreeze 1 | Program 106 Public Relations NCGLC Attendees

The story of today’s culturally-based fraternities and sororities is the most relevant, intriguing, and captivating narrative on a college campus. But there has been little support given to you, the student leaders, to help you know how to tell that story in a compelling manner.

This session will present specific strategies for marketing culturally-based fraternity/sorority life. Learn how purple cows and wild zebras serve as a metaphor for increasing demand and differentiating culturally based groups from the dominant stereotypical narrative. Learn to apply marketing techniques for your fraternities, sororities, councils, and communities, and do it in affordable, accessible, and effective ways. You are a wild zebra in a land of grazing cattle. Come find out why that matters.

Thriving as a Council President

Marina 6 | Program 107 Council Management In this session, learn specific strategies to effectively lead your council as President. These strategies were developed while working with hundreds of councils and by having knowledge as an IFC President. You’ll review 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!

The Connected Student Affairs Educator Seabreeze 2 | Program 108 Public Relations Professionals

August 24th, 2015, NASPA and ACPA released the second version of the Student Affairs Competencies. There were a number of changes, but one of the most significant was the addition of Technology. This new competency solidifies technology as an essential part of our work. In response, this session will apply the Tech competency directly into the work of fraternity/sorority professionals.

Attention will be called to the impact, use and experiences of our students with technology through the lens of learning and development. Attendees will learn the intersection of technology with all the 10 competencies and application of the foundational, intermediate and advanced levels of technology in student affairs.

Conversation Skills Training

Marina 4 | Program 109 Intake / Membership Recruitment Conversation skills training is an area of chapter development that tends to fall by the wayside when it comes to recruitment practice and preparation. From new members to seniors, brushing up on our skills is essential for success. Not only is this important for recruitment, but for interviewing and future careers. Training our members to be prepared for meaningful conversations, articulating our vision and brand, and gathering ideas for chapter and council-level training will be included in this program.

Shaking Hands & Kissing Babies: Network like a boss Nautilus 3 | Program 110 Life After College

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 and miss out on a huge opportunity. As we know, the world is more about who you know than what you know. People are getting jobs because they know somebody who knows somebody. The art of small talk is dying because of social media. Decision makers in your future jobs didn’t have that growing up though, they still value good old fashion conversations. Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your new network. Note: also helps with recruitment!

Beyond Tolerance: Creating Safe Spaces for the LGBTQ+ Community Marina 1 | Program 200 LGBTQA

How much do you know about sexual orientation and gender identity? How comfortable are you talking about these issues with your counsels and chapters? When it comes to LGBTQ issues, we all have our own views and beliefs. This program offers an open forum to learn and discuss the issues that effect LGBTQ members. You’ll understand what it truly means to be an ally by first assessing your own beliefs, morals and judgment and then provides practical tools to transform your sorority and fraternity into a safe space. No matter how you identify, you’ll shed the layers and fear to accept your own sexual orientation and gender identity and that of everyone around you.

Is it Time to Use Recruitment & Multicultural Greeks in the Same SeNtence?

Seabreeze 1 | Program 201 Intake / Membership Recruitment NCGLC Attendees

“Our organization doesn’t recruit” is a popular phrase said by most NPHC brothers and sisters. As a brother of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc., I know I have said it as well. Is the the time to change that upon us? Percentage-wise, NPHC/ MGC numbers are low at predominantly white institutions.

Small chapter sizes, organizations having all of their members graduate, and other issues could all be alleviated by getting these orgs to recruit more. However, hyper exclusivity, tradition, laziness, poor grades, color barriers, and non-NPHC/MGC-educated advisors all negatively impact chapter sizes. Come to this roundtable discussion so we can see what is working and not working on each other’s campuses. We don’t have to call it recruitment, but we need to do something.

GO GREEK! Is Not A Marketing Strategy Marina 6 | Program 205 Public Relations

“Go Greek” is not a marketing strategy. It’s begging. It’s shouting. It’s demanding. It’s selfish. What would the world’s greatest marketers teach fraternities and sororities about inspiring others to join us? The fraternity/sorority industry has existed for over 200 years, yet it enjoys less than a 10% market share of 4-year college students. The industry lacks a professional data-driven marketing strategy to sell its value to prospective members. Great marketing minds know how to solve that. They believe that real human connection is at the center of all great marketing work.

Redefining Sisterhood

Nautilus 2 | Program 206 Chapter Management What does sisterhood mean to you? Sorority women devote countless hours going to sisterhood events, chapter meetings, and recruiting new members, but how often do we step back and contemplate the true meaning of sisterhood? This interactive workshop does this by bringing women together to discuss their sisterhood and identifying ways to develop an even deeper sisterhood within their chapter.

Beards, Whiskey, Bros & Baking?

Renegotiating Modern Day Masculinity Nautilus 3 | Program 207 Social Justice

Throughout pop culture, anecdotal evidence, and various research, fraternities are often seen as bastions of hyper, if not toxic, masculinity. Where this can be true, the evolution of our membership shows us this is no longer the norm. Many want to move away from the stereotypical frat bro but how do you do this? What about the chapters that embrace these perceptions? Masculinity in the 21st century is anything but binary, and we are uniquely suited to shift how we view this identity. Join to two past fraternity staffers in discussing how to move past toxic masculinity while redefining manhood. Learn how to facilitate a compelling campus conversation letting men be men but in healthy ways. And don’t worry, beards are not required.

Do you know how to get his contact information after you meet him in a way that’s not creepy? Do you know how to then invite him to an event your hosting? Do you know what questions to ask him to decide if he’s a good fit for your fraternity? Do you know how to have a conversation with him about joining - before you actually ask him to join?

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 personal session, you’ll be challenged to identify or reconnect with your 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 leading to little or no action. Too much focus on the now can lead to increasing impulsivity and bad decisions. Learn how a clarifying blend of the why and the now can help you to become a more engaged and impactful leader.

Why in the world did you choose a fraternity/sorority?

Do you even know, really? What about the people on your campus who don’t? 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-Greek students to offer one-of-akind 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!

Gentlemen Use the F Word

Matt Mattson, Innova Marketing, Inc. Matt@InnovaGreek.com

Nope, not that word! Feminism, gentlemen. More than any year, 2016 was the year of the women. The first female presidential candidate of a major party, female athletes running the Olympic podiums, and way more conversations in mainstream media about how we treat women.æWhat is the role of men in these discussions?

What about fraternity men? What is your personal role?

We often don’t have these discussions with 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 just how powerful it can be when men come together to discuss the F word.

Recruitment Assessment & Evaluation: The 4 Questions of Community Growth & How to Ask Them Nautilus 4 | Program 301 Intake / Membership Recruitment

Information is key. In 2015, over 40 billion was spent by companies in market research. To know your market, you must research. Most councils are shooting at targets in the dark, creating a recruitment structure without knowing what the market wants. We don’t even know our own community, because we don’t stop and simply look at who we are or know our own demographic information.

Do you know how many business, or math majors are Greek? What are the top 5 high schools that send us members? What are our racial, religious or socioeconomic trends in our membership over the past 5 years? The answers to these questions are within reach. In this session, you’ll learn the process to find and strategies to use information gathered through assessment and evaluation.

Marina 4 | Program 303 Academic Achievement Year after year, chapters and councils sell GPA and academics as a part of our experience. However, research shows the new member process hurts new member grades, and many of our members are succeeding scholastically in spite of their membership, not because of it. Too often, cumbersome scholarship programs and requirements are forced on members even though they yield no results. Creating meaningful academic programs take time, dedication, and the right mindset. Gone are the days of arbitrary study hours and forced programs.

Successful scholarship requires a personal focus. Through this program, learn how to better mobilize your members through a proven program yielding individual results and better engagement.

The Value of LGBTQ* Fraternities & Sororities Seabreeze 2 | Program 304 LGBTQA

Campus fraternity/sorority communities, while promoting the values of brotherhood/sisterhood, have historically been comprised of heteronormative and cis-centric organizations, often reluctant to open their doors to LGBTQ* individuals. These challenges faced by LGBTQ* students lead to the founding and proliferation of queer-based fraternities and sororities. This workshop will focus on the advantages and obstacles encountered by members in these organizations. Participants will discuss how these organizations can help bring the queer community and ally Greeks together and how council leaders can foster better relationships with these queer-based fraternities and sororities.

7 Radical Steps to Better Meetings

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

In fraternity and sorority life, we spend an enormous amount of time in chapter and council meetings. But when was the last time your meeting felt really amazing?

Productive? Relevant? When was the last time you felt like a meeting was the very best possible use of 60 or 90 minutes? Maybe it’s time to disrupt the outdated ideas making our meetings so dull and irrelevant. In this session, we will look at 7 “what if’s” to inspire us to innovate and reinvent the weekly meeting.

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.

When things go wrong - it’s your fault and when things go amazing - you don’t always get the credit.

Growing Your Multicultural Greek Community Marina 1 | Program 307 Intake / Membership Recruitment NCGLC Attendees

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). It’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 and learn how to challenge, support and empower your MGC!

Managing Wellbeing Amidst the Chaos of College Life Marina 1 | Program 400 Health & Wellness

College student leaders aren’t necessarily known for your overabundance of free time. Between classes, chapter meetings, leadership retreats, work/study jobs, internships, and more, it often seems like there’s barely enough time to sleep, let alone worry about your personal wellbeing. But if you want to thrive in life, you must find ways to focus on yourself in order to give your best to the world.

This session will examine the five elements of wellbeing (physical, social, community, financial, and career) and realistically identify opportunities for you to increase your wellbeing amidst the chaos of college.

Retaining & Engaging Your Members Through Graduation

Marina 6 | Program 401 Chapter Management For many organizations, nearly 1 of every 5 members in the fraternity/sorority world quit the fraternal experience during their first semester. Retaining members to initiation is a major challenge on many campuses, but retaining them through graduation is our ultimate goal. There are several key strategies you can utilize to not only keep your members, but prepare them to be truly successful! Utilizing exclusive data obtained through proprietary research on fraternity/sorority retention, combined with Phired Up’s Social Excellence philosophy and our new Retention program, this session will provide new member educators (and anyone interested in nurturing and keeping your members) with experiential strategies that can be applied in their members’ experience throughout their membership.

We get scared or anticipate negative results. We want to lead, but worry that others will not follow. Your generation is blessed with intelligence and ability , butthe problem is often finding the motivation and developing the tools to lead with inspiration and power. In fact, society has recognized this phenomenon and label your generation as the “Lost Generation.” This moniker need not stick or be accurate, however. This presentation provides a kick start in your life through discussions of sacrifice, values, priorities and perspective. The idea is that you need to develop the skills to be the type of leader that others will follow.

How Men Can End Assault & Why We Must Care Marina 4 | Program 403 Risk Reduction & Management

There is no denying sexual assault is a men’s issue. Data from the Department of Justice shows us that in roughly 99% of assaults, men are involved regardless of survivor gender. Men have the power to end sexual violence, but how do we get there? When talking to men, language, calls to action, and programing matter. Not all men are responsible for assault and to offer blanket programming can alienate audiences. It is important to talk with men the proper way, not sugar coating the issue but to meet people where they are and help move them where they can be. Join the conversation on how to talk to men about assault, how to create change, and how we can all move the needle, together.

How Can an IFC Help the Community Grow?

Nautilus 4 | Program 404 Intake / Membership Recruitment

How can an IFC actually help their chapters recruit? Is it their job to recruit men to the community? What is the difference between a chapter and IFC’s role in recruitment?

There’s a constant debate of whose job it is to get men into an IFC recruitment process or to bring candidates and potential members to the IFC chapters. In this session, IFC leaders will understand their role in recruitment, how to lead the conversation with chapters, and how to help the chapters in the community grow.

Cash or credit?: understanding how we move Supporting & Rewarding: past a transactional philanthropy event Academic Programming for Culturally Based Marina 2 | Program 405 Philanthropy & Service Greek Organizations Philanthropy events can be stressful! With all the logistics, sponsors, member engagement, and just getting people to show up, event chairs can get burnt out easily. With numerous organizations hosting similar events each semester, we see the traveling $5 bill on our campuses; money going from event to event, organization to organization.

When we focus solely on the event and chapter, we miss a key component to all of this: our philanthropic partner.

During this presentation, participants will utilize Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle to put philanthropic partners at the forefront of their programming. Using this framework will shift how groups market and execute their events while also raising awareness and creating collaborative relationships in their communities.

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.

There is a new expression of values among us. It sometimes features a drone shot, blowing glitter, and bikini/ flag walks. But other times it is a beautiful piece of art giving 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 for marketing purposes and understanding the values, priorities, and beliefs of sorority leaders. Sorority recruitment videos can be a powerful marketing tool when approached in the right way. Let’s explore this fascinating phenomenon together, and discuss some of the best ways to make sorority recruitment videos great.

Leading Imperfectly: The Value of Being Authentic for Fraternity & Sorority Leaders

Nautilus 3 | Program 505 Leadership Development

Nautilus 2 | Program 502 Leadership Development Great, another speech on leadership. Instead of waiting When thinking of the traits that make a leader successful, people often assume you need to have outgoing and extroverted personalities. While those who enjoy networking and interacting with others are at an advantage, it doesn’t mean a natural introvert, a shy extrovert, or an ambivert can’t succeed as a leader; it just means their plan and strategy may need to be adjusted accordingly. By attending this session, attendees will learn about the different personality styles and how to thrive as an introverted student leader in their campus community.

for the same cliche 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. You’ll leave feeling introspective about the person you show to others.

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.

Marina 2 | Program 508 Life After College The fraternity and sorority life community is an incubator of professional excellence. Today’s chapters and councils are managed by impressive young leaders, who possess skills and characteristics which are most attractive to employers. However, many students don’t recognize the long-term benefits nor the application in the real world.

During this infor-active workshop, students will recognize how the skills they possess and those they aspire to learn will lead them to securing great jobs and internships.

They’ll learn how each position in the chapter is the most valuable position, not just for the immediate impact within the chapter, but the value on their own professional development.

Generation Z Doesn’t Want a Sales Pitch: How To Recruit The New College Student Nautilus 2 | Program 600 Intake / Membership Recruitment

The new generation of students in college doesn’t want a sales pitch - they actually hate being sold stuff. They also don’t like being lied to about what they are buying.

Our organizations have become bad about selling our organizations as the way we talk about our fraternities and sororities. 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. Come learn how to stop selling and start telling stories in a meaningful way - as the way to authentically and honestly represent what your organization offers.

Sorority communities on over 200 campuses are engaged in a global humanitarian effort to help girls achieve education _ much like our founders did for us. In this session, we will talk about what life was like for women on college campuses as the sorority movement began; the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women around the world today; and efforts by sorority women to be part of a global movement to provide opportunities through education to girls worldwide.

Hear from undocumented members of fraternities and sororities and how you can be a better ally!

Courageous is Contagious: Rewriting the Script on Sexual Violence Prevention Marina 1 | Program 804 Risk Reduction & Management

Mastering the art of communicating your fraternal experience in the most uplifting and inspiring way takes a plan and practice. When we describe our membership to outsiders it is difficult to overcome the negative stereotypes immediately coming to mind. Not only can our leaders succeed at this, but so can every other members as well.

Yes, with a little training and practice, your average members can share their experience with potential members, parents, potential employers and even potential partners in a way that inspired the finest images of membership.

Forget the self-defense classes, the booklets filled with statistics and how to avoid rape dialogue. What if we had a different conversation? What if we told stories? As a survivor of sexual violence, Brittany has witnessed the power of personal narrative. It is her willingness to be vulnerable that gives others the courage to do the same. So how do we break those barriers holding us back from getting personal? How do we root out the shame and guilt? In this session, you will learn how to rewrite a lasting prevention approach, where survivors feel empowered and their peers feel confident in their support.

Mandatory, Isn’t, Can’t & Won’t: Motivation Comes From Leadership & Followership

Marina 6 | Program 805 Leadership Development Average attendance at meetings? Bleh. Volunteers for committees and projects? Nope. Members showing up for events? Er, ah. And your response? More rules. More fines. More sanctions. How’s that working out for you?

When you’re ready to change things for the better, then help us eradicate the “M” (Mandatory) word and bring your members together. How? We’ll begin with remembering why you and your sisters or brothers joined and work from there. Requirements and fines don’t work. Let’s drill deep into the culture of a successful chapter and bring about positive change.

Dropping the F Bomb in Cultural Greek Organizations

Crimes Against Fraternity: Scholastic Edition Seabreeze 2 | Program 808 Academic Achievement

Etiquette and manners speak volumes about you, and so do the lack of those basic but important skills and qualities. Etiquette and manners go far beyond opening doors or using the correct utensil at a meal. Conversation skills, five things not to ask of people and helping others through life are just a few examples. We will review six areas of etiquette and manners including meals, conventions, meetings and airplane travel. We’ll use examples, illustrations and hands-on situations. Knowing what is appropriate in social situations provides confidence. We’ll give you confidence in something that is often overlooked but always noticed.

Seabreeze 1 | Program 806 Social Justice NCGLC Attendees

Nope, not that word! Feminism, folks. More than any year, 2016 was the year of the women. The first female presidential candidate of a major party, female athletes running the Olympic podiums, and way more conversations in mainstream media about how we treat women.æWhat is the role of women and men in these discussions? What about culturally-based fraternities and sororities? What is your personal role? We often don’t have these discussions with Greek-lettered organizations, presuming issues of women and feminism are not your concern or interest. But as members of organizations founded upon the idea of activism, connection, and leadership, let’s show our critics just how powerful it can be when fraternity men and sorority women come together to discuss the F bomb.

Breaking Up with the Bar Stool: Ending a Liquid Love Affair

Marina 5 | Program 807 Health & Wellness We’ve all heard about liquid courage. Under false pretense, it boldly encourages us to do things we wouldn’t otherwise do. Escaping reality, eliminating our flaws and insecurities, alcohol has the dangerously powerful potential to entrap us in a sobering, subservient relationship.

How do we find the courage to end this relationship, to break up with the bar stool? In a brutally honest hour, you will learn about alcohol use and abuse, signs that a problem may exist, and alternative coping mechanisms for dealing with the stress of life.

Connecting Quickly with PNM’s Nautilus 2 | Program 809 Intake / Membership Recruitment

We don’t have a lot of time to have meaningful conversations with PNM’s in formal recruitment. Most recruitment conversations end up being superficial and surface level.

Those conversations don’t build relationships and don’t allow us to make meaningful membership decisions.

There’s a better, easier way to connect by using Social Excellence throughout your sprit week and formal recruitment Process. We will explore the four pillars of Social Excellence: curiosity, generosity, authenticity, and vulnerability as a foundation in recruitment conversations.

Making Lemonade Out of Lemons: Taking Responsibility for Working with Panhellenic Delegates Nautilus 3 | Program 810 Intake / Membership Recruitment

Panhellenic delegates hold some of the most important roles in a College Panhellenic, but are often underutilized or worked around when trying to make decisions or accomplish Panhellenic goals. When trained properly by both the organization they are a member of and the College Panhellenic they serve on, Panhellenic delegates can immediately impact a community for the betterment of all. Join the National Panhellenic Conference for a conversation on how to take ownership over onboarding Panhellenic delegates and ultimately utilizing them in an effective way all year.

Taking a Stand! Advancing Social Justice Causes As a Council Seabreeze 1 | Program 900 Social Justice NCGLC Attendees

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 moving forward. 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 instutions!

More Action, Less Title: Empowering Our Brothers & Sisters To Do More Nautilus 4 | Program 902 Leadership Development

Hey, high-5 for your new position on your council or in your sorority or fraternity! Alas, being a leader in your organization is an action, not just a title. Empowerment is becoming a cliche in leadership but that’s because individuals are only talking the talk, not walking the walk.

This session will breathe new life into the act of empowering members by challenging them to do better through a three-part strategy: challenging, motivating and appreciating your brothers and sisters. Attendees will leave this energizing talk with a new strategic plan for how to positively impact members of their organizations by boosting accountability, reprioritizing recruitment efforts, and increasing engagement in returning members.

The Icarus Effect: How to Rebound from Failure

Nautilus 2 | Program 903 Life After College The best thing that can happen to someone is failure.

Across life, everyone fails, sometimes in dramatic ways.

The problem is when things fail spectacularly, preparation rarely helps. Yet where we cannot always predict failure, we can always learn from it. Learn about creative solutions on how to manage failures as a means of learning instead of defeat. As an artist, Tim has worked to understand how practiced techniques can lead to beautiful creations.

Through his research, he has learned how to make creativity a trait anyone can use to guide their life. There are no reasons failure has to be an issue, and in fact, we should embrace it. You are going to fail, come learn how to make the most out of it.

Letters that Last a Lifetime

Marina 3 | Program 905 Fraternal Values Graduation comes and we’re often asked “Have you been a part of Greek Life?” or “Were you in a sorority or fraternity?” The answer is always the same, even though the letters change. “Oh yes, I was in…” We are selling ourselves short by only identifying with our affiliation during our time in college. It’s time to shift our response. Next time someone asks us, let’s say, “I am a…” Our membership is for life. Our collegiate years are just the start of an amazing membership experience that we can all have. Let’s talk about how we can maximize our time as actives in order to propel ourselves as successful fraternity & sorority individuals for the future and how students can effectively network and connect with alumni throughout college. Millennials often struggle to reach further than their phones, but this session will show everyone how they can make a connection, in whatever way they communicate best.

What’s Your Story?: The Power of a Narrative

Marina 2 | Program 908 Public Relations Does your fraternity/sorority community or chapter have a single, compelling, emotional story they’re sharing with non-Greeks? Probably not. Most chapters don’t. Most councils don’t. Most communities don’t. Most inter/national organizations (or for that matter umbrella groups don’t). In the absence of a compelling story, a story will be writtend for us, and we won’t be the hero. The moment a community decides upon a story, or marketing narrative, suddenly they have a rally cry. A marketing narrative can create a self-fulfilling prophecy. We live up to the stories we tell about ourselves. Marketing can be aspirational, not just informational. This session includes great narrative examples as well as tactics to find your narrative.

Relationships in the Time of Tinder

Nautilus 3 | Program 909 Health & Wellness The way we meet people has changed. Interactions with friends, family, peers, parents, teachers, romantic partners, crushes, and even strangers take to the virtual space at the same time as face to face. What did that emoji really mean? Should I text back now or later? An email in all CAPS! And it is complicated; conflict, miscommunication, screenshots, time delays. As a leader, you need a variety of new digital skills drawn from emotional intelligence to build, maintain and flourish in relationships in the digital age. This session will explore digital conflict, building trust in virtual spaces, and having an authentic digital presence. Participants will also be given space to dialogue with their peers about common digital challenges and tactics for growth.

So, You’re Thinking About Extension Marina 6 | Program 910 Intake / Membership Recruitment

Record breaking participation in recruitment? Chapter sizes at maximum capacity for space on campus? Have a local sorority looking to affiliate with an inter/national sorority? Campus enrollment projections continuing to increase? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, perhaps it is time to look into extension. Come to this program to learn the National Panhellenic Conference process for extension, with a focus on the first step: the exploratory process.
