Conference App

WHOVA We use the Whova app for you to show interest in specific ed sessions. This is designed for advance preparation. If we see interest outpace capacity, we try to move the session. Adding a session to your agenda does not save you a spot; we highly recommend you make a backup plan for each session.

ED SESSIONS To help you select ed sessions most applicable to your interests and position, we have nine categories.

All participants are welcome to attend all sessions, regardless of category.

We list program topics for every educational session.

These topics connect to the AFLV Operating System and can help guide your decisions on which sessions to attend.

Changing the Conversation about Mental Health

RACHELDEALTO

THURSDAY, JAN. 30, 7–8:30 P.M.

FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 8:45–10:30 A .M.

Have you ever met someone that you immediately connected with? Someone instantly likable? Someone that garnered respect and radiated emotional intelligence?

With depression and anxiety among college students on the rise, we need spaces of community where students can feel meaningful connection and belonging now more than ever. What if we looked at the fraternity/sorority experience through this lens? Isn’t that really what brotherhood and sisterhood are all about? Through this panel discussion, we hope we'll find ways where we can be more comfortable in talking about our own mental health, while considering how we can be more helpful and supportive to our brothers and sisters in the times they need it most.

They were likely very relatable.

What is relatability? It’s the ability to connect, communicate and influence. To utilize interpersonal skills to put people at ease, gain their trust, and build relationships. People skills are the keys to professional and personal success. A relatable leader will gain and maintain the support of their colleagues. A relatable friend will have a meaningful and vast social circle. A relatable partner will have a healthier more fulfilling relationship.

Relationship expert Rachel DeAlto will provide students with the updated tools needed to “win friends and influence people” in the 21st century.

Be a Dream Maker: Your Role in Making Fraternity and Sorority Life Great

SATURDAY, FEB. 1, 8:30–10:30 A .M.

SUNDAY, FEB. 2, 9–10:15 A .M.

In 2018, our generation went big. Millions of new voters made their voices heard for the first time. But a recordbreaking turnout only means one in three young voters cast a ballot.

So now that you’re in a fraternity or sorority, life is great, right? But have you ever stopped to consider how your role in your chapter is making it truly great? Or worse, could your behavior be destroying it?

Maybe Millennial and Gen Z voters don’t understand the issues, or maybe they don’t see how their vote will make a difference. Whatever the reason, we need to show our peers how necessary their voices are and how a few voices can be decisive on issues that matter to them.

In her typical candid style, Michelle provides a wakeup call to those fraternity and sorority members who are coasting on their status or who are senselessly participating in destructive behavior, like hazing, abusive drinking, assault and poor academics.

Obviously, we shouldn’t tell people who to vote for. We just want more people to vote and make voting just a regular thing that you do.

When we make our voices heard, and when we all vote, we can change the world.

ED BLOCK 2 // 10:45–11:45 A .M. “Why can’t you remember? Your story doesn’t make sense. Why didn’t you fight back? Weren’t you drinking? What did you expect?”

Those are words Brittany Piper never imagined hearing after being sexually assaulted. Police officers, family, and community members hinted the same: it was her fault. Perhaps you’ve asked others, maybe even yourself, these same questions. Sadly, it’s a familiar response for the one in four college students who experience sexual assault.

But did you know there are scientific explanations behind these burning questions?

Join the thousands of audience members, from sex-crimes detectives, to trauma workers, to military members—who have been empowered to combat sexual assault and support survivors through Brittany’s thought-provoking, personal, and deeply moving program.

You’ll dive into the neurobiology of trauma, and the remarkable impacts of empathy-based prevention and response. Learn crucial terms that every organization, peer, and survivor should know, including revictimization, tonic immobility, traumainformed support, and more.

FEMINISTABULOUS

ED BLOCK 3 // 2:30–3:45 P.M. In 2019, traditional masculinity is both rewarded and sanctioned.

Men grow up being told that boys don’t cry and dolls are for girls (a newer phenomenon than you might realize gendered toys came back in vogue as recently as the 80s). They learn they must hide their feelings and anxieties, that their masculinity must constantly be proven. They must be the breadwinners, they must be the romantic pursuers. This hasn’t been good for the culture at large: 99% of school shooters are male; men in fraternities are 300% (!) more likely to commit rape; a woman serving in uniform has a higher likelihood of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than to be killed by enemy fire.

In For the Love of Men, Liz offers a smart, insightful, and deeply-researched guide for what we’re all going to do about toxic masculinity. For both women looking to guide the men in their lives and men who want to do better and just don’t know how, For the Love of Men will lead the conversation on men’s issues in a society where so much is changing, but gender roles have remained strangely stagnant.

What are we going to do about men? Liz Plank has the answer.

And it has the possibility to change the world for men and women alike.

ED BLOCK 4 // 4:15–5:30 P.M.

As you grow in the ranks of your chapter, who are you bringing with you? As you get to experience your organization and love it—who are you exposing it to? As new students enroll at your institution, who are you introducing it to?!

Joining a sorority changes lives in many ways—especially by fostering genuine, meaningful friendships with other women.

Relationships matter. And as much as some of us shy away from the word, recruitment matters in culturally based organizations.

Before sorority, Tina was unaware of the power of true, authentic friendship with women. She soon learned that sorority, and all the lifelong friendships she would build because of it, would change her life.

We can’t run the yard if nobody knows we exist. We can’t run the yard if there’s hardly any members in our chapter. We can’t run the yard if we send people to the website every time they express interest.

And yet, in the midst of these deep friendships lives the truth of “girl” culture. We talk behind each others’ backs. We choose jealousy and resentment over support and love. We compete instead of congratulate.

It is important for us to begin having meaningful conversations with interested students, care about our members, and equip ourselves with the tools to maximize impact and growth through relationships. Our reputation depends on it.

One of the real challenges in sorority leadership is acknowledging some of our less-productive impulses and tactics and using our leadership talents to steer our way to better relationships and better solutions. Tina will help you learn and practice how to unpack the true power of friendships with women, and choose to be better friends, better sisters, and better women.

ED BLOCK 5 // 10:45–11:45 A .M. As young college women, we’re pumped with messages of #GirlPower and #Feminism. We’re told we can be anything when we grow up. We’re taught confidence and leadership—and we’re lead to believe that we’ll be treated the same as men in the “real” world.

They lied. The truth is that you will be treated differently because you are female. You will be evaluated, promoted, spoken to, interpreted, and listened to differently because you are female.

Get the skills you need to thrive in the real world. We haven’t been taught how to communicate in a male-dominated business world, how to advocate for ourselves, find our allies, and help other women succeed— until now.

We’ll explore what the research shows about the things that matter most in the chapter experience. We’ll look at the best predictors of chapter success and the biggest predictors of chapter closure.

WHITE RIVER E

ED BLOCK 6 // 2:20–3:35 P.M.

ED BLOCK 7 // 4–5:15 P.M.

One year ago, the Piazza and Gruver families shared their stories about the unimaginable loss of their sons, Tim and Max, to fraternity hazing.

Hazing. Alcohol abuse. Racism. Sexual assault. These are just a few of the headlines involving our organizations. Many universities’ response: swift, direct action to make their campus communities as safe as possible. While it’s easy to question these decisions and suggest that campus administrators have it out for fraternities and sororities, sometimes we question without considering the perspective of those making decisions. Join several university presidents to talk about their perspectives on fraternity/sorority life, their expectations, and how they make decisions. Come prepared with questions and an open mind.

They return to AFLV Central to share their stories, update us on their efforts, and challenge ALL fraternity/sorority 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 must all actively take part in this solving this problem so that no family has to endure this kind of tragedy. Let’s be the generation of fraternity and sorority members who end hazing once and for all.

ED BLOCK 7 // 4–5:15 P.M.

NPHC and cultural fraternities and sororities face different challenges than IFC and Panhellenic groups. But our groups can be corrupted just as much by the twisted power dynamics at play with hazing. We all know hazing is illegal. We know it is against our respective organizational and campus policies. We know that if we are caught, there could be harsh sanctions, including legal ones. Yet, year after year, people are humiliated and beaten. Year after year, we listen to recent grads (or those members just no longer enrolled) whose most significant accomplishment has been joining a fraternity or sorority. For some reason, their “wisdom” is valued more than the legitimate authorities within the national organizations or campus administrators. If we continue the secrecy, denial and persistence of hazing, the consequences will be grave.

So what are YOU willing to do about it?

Every year, whether it’s racist posts on Snapchat or Greeks wearing blackface at “Crips & Bloods” Halloween parties, racism on campus has a detrimental effect. This affects minority students as well as white students who perpetuate it.

This is a frank look at how a legacy of white racial supremacy in the United States leads to fraternity members singing about lynching black people. We’ll operate under the premise that you’re not responsible for your actions if you’re ignorant of why something is racist. However, you are responsible if you do understand, and you do the racist act anyway. Or if you remain quiet. You’ll learn about legacies of racism while getting a call to action to change that legacy to being actively anti-racist.

AFLV CENTRAL IS FOR STUDENTS, AND YOU’RE HERE TO CHAPERONE. ACCELERATING PROGRESS MEANS AFLV VALUES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

We have three keynotes just for professionals and choices for ed sessions in each block.

The session abstracts are on the next three pages. We pulled the pro sessions out of the large ed block sections that are student focused. This (hopefully) prevents students from accidentally attending sessions that are for professionals. You even have your own page color! Look for gray edges to find the pro sessions at a quick page turn.

HEALTH + SAFETY IMD 5 // Program #422

Health and safety issues facing students today are not new, but addressing them requires new thinking. Professionals will learn how shifting the way they approach health and safety issues can increase the likelihood of improved outcomes for students. A simple behavioral model illustrates how imperative changing student beliefs is to improve health and safety-related decisions. We’ll discuss our culture’s impact on student health and safety and how working across social environments can transform the system where health and safety is embedded into the college experience.

BEYOND GREEK LIFE 101: A NEW APPROACH TO COMMUNITY NEW MEMBER EDUCATION MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

Room 313 // Program # 217

How can we work to build community within each council and across the community as a whole? How do we ensure our future chapter and council leaders are up to the challenge?

Over the past five years at FSU, we have worked to create educational experiences for new members from each of our four councils that build their leadership capacity and serve as a catalyst for community building. We will share details about our cross-council new member education model, how we build curriculum, mistakes we made along the way, and ideas for how communities of various sizes and resources can best serve their constituent groups.

CONSIDERING A GREEK FEE? DOING IT CORRECTLY REQUIRES MORE THAN YOU THINK MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS Room 314 // Program # 218

In recent years, the solution du jour to address budget limitations in fraternity/sorority life has been for campuses to assess a Greek Fee to affiliated students. Assessing fees like these certainly has the potential to build capacity and support the current and future needs of an FSL community, but it’s not just as simple as just instituting a Greek fee. You must do the work to analyze the current landscape and the future, create an equitable process that includes students, and ultimately be transparent about the fund and how it will be used. Learn lessons from a campus that instituted a Greek fee as described and walk out with a take-home resources as you consider your next steps.

Navigating the field of fraternity/sorority advising as a graduate student or new professional can be HARD. Absorbing all of the things you weren’t taught in grad school is challenging enough, but when you need to learn to advocate for yourself, especially across hierarchical structures or office politics, it feels like you’re in over your head. Hear from two professionals who have learned the hard way what managing up looks like, and how to be your own best advocate in the workplace. Whether you are a graduate student or new professional, this presentation will equip you with the tools to communicate what you need, even if that means it’s time to leave.

What should be an opportunity for collaboration and culture change often turns into an adversarial and counterproductive process that only results in damaged relationships. In this session, we will explore a newly developed model organizational misconduct process and help fraternity/sorority advisors understand how the organizational misconduct process can be designed to create behavioral change and to build trust and goodwill between campuses, students, and stakeholders.

Alcohol, drugs, hazing, sexual assault—that’s only a few of the issues our communities are facing. So how do we educate ALL of our members on these important topics? While we’ve yet to solve all the problems, our campus has determined practices that help our office reach a wider scale of students with prevention education. Based on the risk management retreat created for the DGC and NPHC at UCF, we will discuss experiences educating two full councils through a full day of prevention education covering drugs and alcohol, hazing, and violence prevention through bystander intervention. We will share how we were able to begin this program, gain buy-in from students and campus partners, and how you can adjust it to fit your needs.

If you are an introvert, conferences can be A LOT. Many think the only way to act at a conference is to be outgoing and extroverted, and if you aren’t, something is wrong. Or that you’re not getting the most from the experience. But for some of us, looking out across a hotel lobby filled with hundreds or thousands of people can be intimidating or draining. Don’t allow that to make your conference experience miserable. There are strategies and tactics that can make conferences and your leadership roles on campus more than “bearable,” but even fun for introverts. By attending this session participants will better understand different personality styles and how to thrive as an introverted leader.

WHY DON’T WE WEAR NIKE SHORTS TO RECRUITMENT ROUNDS? ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

Room 102 // Program #101

Countless students, advisors, campus professionals and headquarters staff use the term ‘Values Based Recruitment’, and it’s an expectation for many chapters to ‘recruit based off their values’, yet how many members can tell you how they do that or how it benefits their organization? We will use research conducted nationally with a Panhellenic sorority to make the case that ‘Values Based Recruitment’ might not matter in the way we once thought.

We will discuss the well-known notion of ‘taboo topics’ during recruitment (partying, politics, religion, etc.) and highlight the pitfall of monitoring conversations around polarizing topics. We will discuss the recruitment aesthetic and how the pressure to present a perfect image is creating a false sense of reality for PNMs and members.

Room 104 // Program #103

Accountability is rooted in being critical of the things we care about.

It is not a novel concept or something we should shy away from.

Accountability happens on both an internal and external level. The most difficult part about accountability is it is wrapped up in both the personal and business aspects of life. It’s the balance between wanting McDonald’s at midnight and not wanting to undo the progress you’ve made with your health. It’s the balance between wanting to stay up late while knowing you and your friends have responsibilities in the morning. It is a complicated dance. Learn the moves of accountability, and why it is hard but necessary.

Men are trained to be unemotional, violent, aggressive (sexually and otherwise), homophobic, misogynistic, and to never ask for help. The goal here isn’t to reprimand men for being men; rather, it’s about dismantling the unrealistic, hurtful expectation society places on men.

Women, especially college-aged women, have extreme pressure to be perfectly put-together. However, attendees will learn how these pressures demand a greater depth of self-appreciation in college students. This session utilizes multiple different sources and activities to demonstrate the vulnerabilities of self-concepts throughout the sorority and college experience. Attendees will receive tangible techniques to improve their own self-concepts, and, as campus leaders, will receive events and programs to intentionally implement in their college communities to encourage positive selfesteem growth at the organizational and campus levels.

What if we could make an impression that our organizations are here to be more than just social? What if we could prepare our members for more meaningful and tailored conversations suited for that individual prospect?

About the time many of our founders were creating our organizations, the term “feminism” appeared in the late 1880s. Our founders were the first feminists, and they possibly never heard of the term. Today women, including sorority women, have potential to do anything. We can vote, we can outearn men, we can go to the moon. We can be feminists. We can also drink A LOT. This program is an intersectional conversation around biology, leadership, respect and a belief that women can change the world.

However, the key to success isn’t your natural born talent; it’s grit.

Rather than being the “best” in the room, staying dedicated to your passion and persevering through obstacles can make a world of a difference in achieving your goals. When it comes to longterm success, what matters is not your class ranking, grades, nor outstanding athletic ability. What matters is grit. In this program, you will feel empowered to develop gritty habits and relieve the pressure of having to “be the best.” Through reflection, small group activities, and discussion, you will learn how to integrate passion and perseverance to work toward achieving your long-term goals.

White River G // Program #127

Joe, a practicing attorney, will talk about students’ legal rights/ responsibilities related to campus life as Greek participants, including the First Amendment, hazing, and the effect of sunshine laws. Joe will serve up a “conduct cake” that includes layers of legal responsibility (the law), ethical responsibility (student conduct codes), and common sense (doing the right thing). Participants will learn the current state of the law affecting Greeks, how legal standards and ethical conduct intersect, and the characteristics of ethical leadership. With courtroom stories and real-life examples, Joe will show that operating ethically ensures the success that students come to college to achieve. This program is relevant as a “call to action” that shows students that embracing ethical duty empowers them to hit legal duty “out of the park” with confidence.

WWYFD: WHAT WOULD YOUR FOUNDERS DO? MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

NBGLC

Room 101 // Program #201

It’s time to address some of the inconvenient truths of who we’ve become as women in historically black sororities. Our values have always been sisterhood, scholarship and service but lately they’ve reflected “going viral” and “who runs the yard?”. Is this supposed to happen? How do we align our founders’ visions for our organizations while remaining relevant? In this program, we will have critical conversations around having clout in our organizations while maintaining our founders’ beliefs, character and standards.

The pressure of having intersectional identities in today’s campus climate can distort how we navigate our roles and responsibilities.

Through self-reflection and small group discussion, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of their organization’s mission and how it translates on their individual campuses.

Room 103 // Program #203

In 2020, there is no question that social media has “influence” in our lives. For potential members and members or fraternities and sororities, their choices—which organization to join (or not to join), how they get involved, their behavior and actions, and even how satisfied they are with their experience. Through communication strategy and social media, your council and chapter can help shape members’ experiences and prompt more of “the good”— positive brotherhood/sisterhood, healthy belonging, development, networking, service, and academic support—that fraternities and sororities offer.

This is a highly interactive sexual assault prevention/awareness program. We use humor to break down walls and have a difficult conversation about sex. Students who attend this session will leave with a greater understanding of how to change our culture to create a safe and supportive campus environment for people no matter how they identify on the spectrums of gender or sexuality.

They will also leave better equipped to recognize potentially dangerous situations and how to intervene in these situations before an assault occurs. Students will be given resources that they can seek out should someone they know or they themselves become the survivor of a sexual assault.

We will process what you and your organization should figure into your semesterly or yearly budgets so that you can cover your costs for things such as insurance, council dues, philanthropy events, brother/sisterhood, and even some extra fun. At the end, you will be able to calculate what your membership should be paying in dues AND explain why.

Room 203 // Program #207

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 year-round recruitment as it relates to members’ motivation to join, involvement during their undergraduate years, and how chapter performance improves in areas like safety, academic success, and accountability. You’ll leave with actionable next steps for your campus, Interfraternity Council or organization to implement year-round recruitment and the data behind moving in this direction.

Room 206 // Program #208

As a 29-year member of a Black Greek-lettered Organization (BGLO) and an UNAPOLOGETIC Black Lesbian/Queer woman, it is important for me to live my authentic self. I understand that I have an obligation to both the Black and LGBTQ+ communities to generate conversation where there is none and facilitate discourse where there is lack of information especially in spaces where Black people are both the majority and the minority. In this session, the presenter will not only provide a safe space for members of BGLOs to discuss and learn LGBTQ+ terminology, sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender identity (SOGIE) concepts, and a comprehensive definition of UNAPOLOGETIC while acquiring the ability to become an UNAPOLOGETIC advocate vs. ally to LGBTQ+ individuals.

This session is dedicated to bridging leadership development, training, and education to our members without them immediately checking out of the conversation. Learn from fraternity men as we provide advice on ways to connect these leadership experiences to pop culture references, analyze leadership abilities, and using campus resources to improve your organization.

Supporting underserved families? Educational equity? Now, think of a time when you stood up for that cause with energy, passion, and purpose. It’s often easy to imagine a meaningful cause, but when it comes to showing up for our communities, it can feel overwhelming.

In this session, you’ll explore philanthropy through the lens of service learning. You’ll feel inspired to tackle a cause you care about, and explore what it means to be a service leader in the context of Greek life. Through active reflection, you’ll have the opportunity to reimagine the impact you can have on your community. Finally, you’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and inspired to think big about the possibilities you have in this world.

Feel like a broken record of advocating for your community at a PWI? Feel like you’re looking out for everyone but missing out on keeping your own wellbeing in check? There is no debate the heavy isolation felt by students of color on college campuses across the country is real. Even more, those in leadership face exhaustion due to constantly serving as a resource and support system for their members. This session talks more about self-care and how student leaders can effectively learn to back their communities while making sure they’re prioritizing themselves. Join us as we navigate how to balance being a leader and a student, all while promoting your community in the best way possible.

This is not only about alcohol but about the steps that it takes to be proactive on different issues. How do we get our own community to support us on issues they might not agree with? How do we convince them of the sense of urgency those issues are, and how bad it could be if we did not do anything? More importantly, how do we build trust?

Although it can be messy, being able to assess where you are, dig into what’s wrong, and create an action plan to bring everyone back on the same page is necessary work in order to pull it all together. Participants in this session will hear real-life examples of how an NPHC council was able to create a cohesive community after a long series of failures, and also create their own action plans to bring back to their communities to make change.

CONFESSIONS OF A THERAPIST: WHAT WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON HEALTH + SAFETY

Room 312 // Program #216

It’s no secret that there is a mental health epidemic in our country.

The rates of suicide and the need for mental health services rise every year. The truth is no one is immune to having a mental health issue. In order to promote awareness and combat the existing stigma, this program challenges students to acknowledge their own mental health and take responsibility for it. Whitney presents common struggles we all go through based on her experience as a licensed therapist. In order to deal with these challenges, Whitney discusses with students the importance of self-care and seeking support. She encourages students to take charge of their mental health and to be their best selves possible so that they can accomplish their dreams.

IMPERFECT ALLY: BUILDING A MINDSET AND CULTURE OF CARE DIVERSITY + INCLUSION

White River G // Program #219

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” The world needs more allies, so why aren’t more people stepping forward to serve this important role? Casey believes too often we are limited by our fear of not being good enough, perfect enough, to help others. We must get past the idea that we have to be a perfect in order to be an ally. In his newest, groundbreaking program, Imperfect Ally, he challenges individuals and groups to use their power and voice to help those who need it most even if it means doing so imperfectly.

Leaning on principles of social psychology, Casey demonstrates how we can effectively identify and mitigate our biases through purposeful daily choices.

FROM WISHING TO REALITY: RECRUITMENT 101 FOR CULTURALLY BASED GROUPS

Based on an award-winning workshop that has received praise from fraternity men from over a hundred campuses, this strengths-based approach allows you to address these critical issues in a new way. Our brothers and sisters get tired of hearing about negative issues in the same way all the time. And to prevent serious harm it takes more than an e-learning module or a one-time speaker. We must integrate a certain set of ethical standards and interpersonal strengths throughout our chapters and community. Learn how to make it much easier to address these complicated issues, and how to prevent serious harm while also equipping people for positive lives.

Wish you had bigger intake/pledge classes/lines? Wish you had standing room only for your Interest meetings/informationals? Are you cultivating membership or just wishing and praying that people will come to your organization?

So in a semester from now or in a year from now, many of their behaviors will be rooted in the way we marketed to them, in the way we recruited them, in the way we offered them an invitation for membership, and in the way we onboarded them. Expectations are set early, and they’re really hard to break. The bad news: we’re not great at setting high expectations for our potential members to live up to as members.

College Panhellenic communities rely on their media platforms to raise awareness of the Panhellenic community and promote the women’s-only sorority experience on their campus. However, without a proactive, thorough and robust social media plan and execution, officers are not maximizing the potential for outreach and exposure. Through this session, officers will have an opportunity to review exceptional College Panhellenic social media marketing from a variety of campuses and critique their own council’s social media and website. Join us to create an action plan and detail steps to improve and increase awareness of the women’s-only sorority experience upon returning to campus. In doing so, Panhellenic councils can be strategic about marketing opportunities; where, how and to whom they promote the experience to ensure community-wide growth.

Examples include “Our chapter has great brotherhood/sisterhood, BUT we’re not very involved on campus” or “Our council is filled with great organizations, BUT our community lacks unity.”

These “BUT” statements are accepted as the norm, and no real progress is made from year to year. Addressing these issues can be overwhelming. Where do we even start? Participants are encouraged to attend with at least one fellow chapter/council member and will discuss how to flip the word “BUT” to “AND” by focusing on three key areas: people, process, and philosophies.

White River B // Program #231

We want to call out something that’s really messed up in Panhellenic sorority-land: feeling like COB means your chapter is somehow broken. For too many sorority women that find themselves in a position to do COB (Continuous Open Bidding a.k.a COR a.k.a. year round recruitment), they can feel a sense of shame, embarrassment, and failure. Think about this: the idea of normal relationship building, intentional year-round networking, and organizational growth that women will be required to do in almost any career after college is seen as embarrassing. We need to fix this.

This session explores not only the culture of COB-shaming and what we can do about it, but also the top five practical Gen Z recruitment tips to share with COB chapters.

We all need to be equipped for the broad spectrum of scenarios we might face if we are to realistically do something.

While uncomfortable, by laying a foundation of personal exploration, we can be set up to have an effective conversation that will leave everyone empowered to create a stronger, safer, and more nurturing community for all walks of life.

Room 206 // Program #308

Should chapters address issues individually? Should the council take a position on the issue? Are we even allowed to say/do something? How should we go about addressing the issues? These are just some of the questions that council leaders consider when faced with issues within and beyond the campus environment.

With such varied perspectives within MGC communities, it’s often challenging to take action. There are countless ways to get engaged around the issues, and we’re here to talk about them. Join in as we explore cases around the issues and the role of council leaders in addressing them.

Are you accepting everyone through membership, and now it’s hurting your brand? Are you bringing in new members that are like the ones that you already have in your chapter that only wear T-shirts and lead stroll lines? Stop thinking that you have to accept everyone for membership to be the most prominent organization in your council or have the most members on campus.

ON THE EDGE: THE TRUTH ABOUT SUICIDE HEALTH + SAFETY

Room 301 // Program #311

Suicide is the second-most-common cause of death among college students and is getting increased media attention because it is such a widespread issue. The American College Health Association (ACHA) reports that the suicide rate among 15–24-year-olds has tripled since the 1950s. College can be a particularly stressful time—transitioning from living at home, trying to find community in a new place mixed with social and educational pressures. This can make college students particularly vulnerable, especially when other mental health issues are involved. It is essential that all of us understand suicide/suicidal thoughts and know the warning signs to look and what resources are available for our students, those we work with, and those we love.

Multicultural and/or diverse Greek governing councils are made of an array of organizations that explore various cultures and identities. These various organizations all have unique and distinctive qualities that make up their individual organizational identity. However, these organizations are often placed within a governing council that is tailored to multiple cultures and identities, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity of an overarching identity for the collective. This interactive presentation provides students with skills and tools needed to process identity and its importance to the values of their governing council.

As organizations concerned with serving our communities, we are expected to be engaged in activities that will enhance the lives of the people around us. Sometimes we choose causes that are meaningful to us as individuals but may not align with the organization’s mission, vision or values, leading to frustrations. And while the fraternity/ sorority as an entity may not get directly involved, there may be indirect ways to utilize the organization and its resources. This session will provide participants with tips to effectively engage as individuals in social causes in their local communities.

Stress is omnipresent, but it doesn’t need to dominate your life.

Being a valuable Greek leader/an effective student/productively plugged into your community without breaking down, taking shortcuts or compromising your values requires proper tools. This presentation provides help via a stress test to identify your stress baseline and valuable stress-reduction tips to move you from stress-wreck to less stressed and strong. This strength is critical as you move through your Greek 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 minor stressors so they can focus on their major stressors. Come and see!

ICC 125 // Program #320

You’ve recruited your members. You’ve filled your beds. You reached quota. Now what? Based on our research, nothing destroys chapter morale like seeing people you care about disengage from the shared experience that brought you together. Retention issues lead to sister/brotherhood issues that will eventually lead to recruitment issues, and then they are deemed a system struggler. For many communities, system strugglers show up as money out the window.

SOS. Come learn what we found out in our research, and why you should be focusing on retaining the members you have.

If they don’t know you exist, their lives can’t be changed. If they don’t know you exist, they can’t help transform the future of your organization. If they don’t know you exist, your group can’t survive, much less thrive the way it deserves to. They = students. Students who aren’t members of your organization, but could be. It’s time to take control of the narrative to increase our presence on campus and within the local community. Join us for a real conversation on visibility.

LESS DEVICES, MORE CONNECTIONS IN GREEK LIFE MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

White River J // Program #333

What is the cost of organizations becoming a little less human?

Technology is great to record our events and share it, but it also can create social isolation and a lack of connectedness with other students. We all need human connections, but sometimes it’s easier to get that from social media instead of having a real conversation. In reality, we are missing out on forming a real relationship with our members. In many ways, it weakens our productivity and keeps us from achieving our full potential. There are seven steps that our fraternities and sororities can do in order to limit our devices and get more real connections. This in turn will create happier, more effective members that stay and contribute to our mutual goals.

You’ve aced recruitment and brought in some amazing new members! Now what? Welcoming new members into our organizations often comes with promises of friendship and fun; however, we often overlook the stress and anxiety that may come with such a major commitment. From navigating the responsibilities of membership to navigating the politics of big-little selection, new members can quickly become overwhelmed. By focusing on ways to create welcoming spaces for new members to be open and honest about their needs, chapters can help new members develop resiliency that will last them throughout the ups and downs of fraternal membership.

In this program, participants will challenge members to intentionally focus on supporting the mental health and wellness of new members, so that our organizations are safer and successful for all members.

WHAT IF WE DIDN’T NEED THE STANDARDS PROCESS? MANAGEMENT + OPERATIONS

Room 203 // Program #407

Far too often, when we hear the word “accountability,” sirens go off in our head as we conjure up images of a formal hearing with the threat of probation. What if we completely reframed our approach to accountability and focused more on the building blocks of peer-to-peer informal interactions? If all members were equipped with the skills to have informal (potentially difficult) conversations, it would prevent minor issues from turning into major issues.

Accountability is a central component of brotherhood and sisterhood, and when done effectively, can build stronger members, improve internal relationship and ultimately strength the overall health of the organization. Students will have the opportunity to brainstorm how to take this information back to improve their communities through group dialogue and facilitated conversations.

Value added to the campus.

Value added to the community. In this program, we will examine the messages we are communicating about what our true values are, learn to think critically about them, and gain practical skills for measuring and documenting our value added data to the campus and community at large.

BROTHERS ARE DIFFERENT THAN BUDDIES ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

ICC 125 // Program #418

Let’s recruit men for our brotherhood, not our buddyhood. After all, brothers are different than buddies. But too many fraternity chapters have forgotten this simple truth. We choose members based on if “he’s a good guy” or not. 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 (that’s like the opposite of “chill”). The key to shifting from buddy recruitment to brotherhood recruitment requires starting with a deep understanding of our product. This session is an opportunity to talk, as gentlemen, about these three vital questions and their impact on recruitment and our overall organizations.

YOUR INNER CRITIC: LET’S DITCH IT LEADERSHIP + RESILIENCY

ICC 126 // Program #419

You know the pesky voice in your head that holds you back? The one telling you you’re not smart enough? Pretty enough? Ready for this opportunity? Outgoing enough? Qualified enough? Ditch it. You deserve better. In this interactive session, you will identify triggering scenarios that provoke your inner critic, call it out, and learn tangible tools to turn the volume down when your inner critic is yelling at you.

You will leave with worksheets, tips, and resources to continue the work in your everyday life and work environment. This session is for anyone who wants to ditch her inner critic and lead with confidence.

Confronting members on issues, behaviors, and other performance-related matters, can make for challenging situations for all of the parties involved. In most instances, it’s not what you say, but how you say it that can make the difference between war and peace. In this session, we will explore communication and confrontation techniques; ways to proactively prevent negative results; tips on minimizing the impact to the group; and recommendations for the post-confrontation follow-up.

TODAY’S DYNAMIC RECRUITMENT: A FRESH PHILOSOPHY FOR MODERN STUDENTS ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

ICC 128 // Program #421

Sharing the gift of fraternity/sorority life– with all its wonderful variations—in today’s world with today’s students requires a modern approach. While the proven fundamentals of attracting, selecting, and securing new members remain the same, the application of “Dynamic Recruitment” for all councils and all students requires responsiveness and adaptation. “Dynamic Recruitment” isn’t about councils, processes, rules, or structure.

It is about beliefs and behaviors that demonstrate those beliefs.

This session will offer an exploration of the evolution of fraternity/ sorority growth education over the last two decades, and a peek into where our industry is heading in the future.

You’ve heard the excuses. So have I. “Risk management doesn’t apply to our orgs because we don’t have huge parties, we don’t have huge houses, and our culture is different.” But facts (and lawsuits) suggest otherwise. NPHC and MGC organization members need to consider control of large events, whether alcohol is present or not, AirBnB, apartments and annexes, fundraisers and civil and criminal law. We’ll review actual cases and focus upon “safer” while working from your questions.

Meetings should be a time to disseminate information in an organized manner, gather insight from members, and even have a little fun. Maybe you’re in a secretary position, or maybe you want to help make your organization’s meetings more effective. In this interactive session, the presenters will use industry best practices to help you make your meetings more meaningful. You will learn techniques to host more productive meetings such as technology to stay organized, skills to instill confidence in running meetings, and tools to engage your meeting participants.

WHY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS FAIL & HOW TO FIX THEM MEMBER DEVELOPMENT

White River D // Program #426

Let’s face the facts. Most scholarship programs incentivize those who already do well and punish those who are failing without considering why they are struggling. Blanket scholarship programs like study tables and rewarding GPAs miss the point. Most programs fail to focus on the individual and try to accomplish a lot through the simplest method possible. The good news is that helping all your members achieve academic success is possible. The better news? It doesn’t require a dramatic amount of effort. Come learn about what is working in academics, where we are failing, and how we can do better. Come with an open mind and leave with a plan on how you can improve your scholarship without forcing your members through punishment and fines.

White River C // Program #425

Effective risk management policies are incredibly important in creating safer organizations and communities, and this program *will not* talk about any of them. Instead, this program will examine the forces that cause good people to make bad decisions. Being a college student is challenging. There’s tons of academic pressure, obligations added by student organizations, and the ever-present social struggle to be accepted amongst one’s peers. These forces are powerful. They can cause individuals to burn out, lose focus, and make decisions that can harm themselves or others. In this program, we will discuss these forces and help individuals find a guiding purpose rather than obsessing with identity.

Corey’s most popular keynote on ethics encourages audiences to chase the truly important things in life such as a solid character, strong personal relationships and a sense of contentment. These “real rabbits” are compared and contrasted to more fleeting worldly success such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Audience members leave with a better sense of what it takes to develop integrity, set priorities, gain a big-picture perspective, and chase an authentic life. By the end, Corey promises that this will be one of the most powerful and motivational speeches you have ever heard.

INTENTIONAL INCLUSIVENESS: RELEASING THE POWER OF DIVERSITY THROUGH INCLUSION DIVERSITY + INCLUSION

White River I // Program #429

Diversity and inclusion are not just hot topics across professional industries these days, but campus communities as well. Council leaders send powerful messages when they demonstrate a commitment to diversity and inclusion that is fueled by action, not just rhetoric. Embracing people from all kinds of backgrounds shows that diversity is important, as it aids in fostering an inclusive campus culture. Intentional Inclusiveness™ is a thought-provoking and transformational conversation that challenges the way student leaders think, gets them excited about exploring different perspectives, and sets the tone for your chapter’s interactive programming. Tish promotes diversity and inclusion by calling on chapters, represented by a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, to recognize, celebrate, and embrace their differences rather than be separated by them.

INCLUSIVE PRACTICES FOR EXCLUSIVE GROUPS: CHALLENGING RECRUITMENT AND COMMUNITY PRACTICES OF CBFOS ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH

CBFO

Room 104 // Program #504

Culturally based fraternal organizations formed due to membership exclusion from existing NPC and NIC organizations. The founders of these groups built community with others of marginalized identities. NPHC, NAFLO, NMGC and NAPA chapters were created to serve particular communities within higher education.

Over the years, we have seen gradually declining interest in joining culturally based fraternal organizations. Along with diminishing membership, many of these groups are losing societal relevance.

This presentation will target what we believe are existing challenges facing CBFOs and provide recommendations to create a more positive member experience and campus community.

Findings from the studies revealed how chapters/organizations typically overlooked issues of sexuality, in addition to targeting members based on this identity. Attendees will discuss, identify, and share strategies to implement on their respective campuses/organizations to better serve Queer People of Color in culturally based fraternities and sororities.

Room 206 // Program #507

We can all agree that sexual assault, unhealthy relationships and gender discrimination are issues that impact all communities. So why then are all of our efforts to prevent them tailored to so few?

In order to effectively address sexual and relationship violence, our efforts must be both targeted and culturally specific. This session will examine one such effort organized by the National Pan-Hellenic Council at Michigan State University to address sexual and relationship violence dynamics among Black students in response to conversations stemming from the “Surviving R. Kelly” docuseries. From this example, audience members will begin to envision how to shift prevention programming to be more student led and culturally inclusive and how to successfully collaborate with campus partners and resources to support such initiatives.

What does community mean for Women of Color seeking membership to fraternal organizations established with the perspective of White women? What is leadership development and empowerment in a marginalized space? NPC organizations maintain whiteness despite landscapes of highered becoming more multicultural (Bailey, 2019). Empowered by unique stories of lived experiences as Women of Color, NPC organizational membership, this program aims to analyze briefly the history that led to current Panhellenic environments, assess inclusionary practices grounded in theory, and achieve takeaways to prepare folks to discuss difference within the NPC sorority space and realities for students of color.

Through engaging dialogue and activities, this workshop will allow participants to recognize and reflect on the various ways they identify socially, how those identities show up within their organization, and how through learning and acknowledging their shared and unshared identities with their members they can intentionally build better communities.

Due to a variety of reasons ranging from societal pressures to normalizing dangerous behaviors, we know situations exist where men cause harm. How do we stop it? And how do we support men? Part of it means defining harm so we can approach these issues before they get to the worst-case scenario.

Part of this is knowing how to call each other out but also how to call each other in. Through this program, participants will learn how to define these problems. But then we will practice. Through a highly hands-on situation, participants will leave with models they can utilize to either call men into conversations or call men out.

NOT YOUR BASIC SELF-CARE WORKSHOP: MENTAL, SPIRITUAL AND BODY WELLNESS HEALTH + SAFETY

White River I // Program #532

Brittany Piper hadn’t even made it through her first semester of college before ending up in a hospital with alcohol poisoning. She knows the damage that college life can inflict on student wellness, as she battled with mental health, pill and alcohol dependence, and eating disorders. Now over ten years later, she’s a wellness coach empowering students to show up in the world as their best selves. With an introspective lens, Brittany will guide you through a combination of exercises rooted in mental health and body awareness, and spiritual coaching and yoga. In this space, you will be provided with a supplemental self-care workbook, which will be utilized during the program and can be used afterward as you begin to develop your own self-care routine.

WHO DO YOU KNOW HERE? GETTING MEN TO TALK AT IFC MEETINGS LEADERSHIP + RESILIENCY

Room 104 // Program #604

Want to stay relevant in an ever-changing world? People are demanding we acknowledge, pay attention to, and care about one another. Lots of people want to jump to the concepts of social justice, equity, social constructions, and more, but we’re missing the foundation: language. Words have ended relationships and started worldwide conflict; let’s stop pretending our language doesn’t matter. Most people hide behind “words only have power if you give it to them” because using inclusive language is seen as a burden. Join the presenter in discussing the power of language and its lasting impacts. Instead of staying silent or saying the wrong thing, let’s learn the right things to say. There will be times of discomfort. Let’s step out of our comfort zones together.

You’ve been in those awkward IFC meetings where the men impatiently wait for it to be over. What if the time was used constructively to come together as men and help our fraternal, university, and neighboring communities? Often men walk into meetings not wanting to be there. The attitude surrounding IFC meetings needs to change. Michigan State University’s IFC has worked to make meetings more valuable, effective and a space for collaboration on programming initiatives. Participants will be able to adapt Michigan State’s strategies for their own IFC, to create a culture of productivity and make better use of their time.The IFC at Central Michigan University was able to utilize Michigan State’s practices and will share how it positively affected its community.

ONE SEMESTER IN: IS THE HARD ALCOHOL BAN WORKING? HOW DO WE KNOW? HEALTH + SAFETY

Room 102 // Program #602

Whether we like it or not, we are stuck in the middle of a philosophical war. On one hand, educational philosophy says that experience is an important component of learning, that one of the best ways to learn is by doing and that may include experimentation and even violating the law to determine the choices that will serve you best in life. On the other hand, we have a legal system that believes if it’s not legal, it can’t be an experience or if it is, you will pay the price. Join the NIC staff and dig in with four campuses on their hard alcohol ban journey—what worked? What failed? What did they focus on? What hurdles did they face? What did it look like operationally? Where are they actually at today?

CONQUERING YOUR CONFLICT MANAGEMENT SKILLS AND THE COLLEGE PANHELLENIC JUDICIAL PROCESS COMMUNICATION + BRANDING

Room 203 // Program #605

Members of the College Panhellenic frequently find themselves working in difficult situations where conflict can arise easily, especially when addressing violations of Panhellenic policies and procedures. As an officer, you must be prepared to handle these situations effectively to minimize conflict and increase resolution, ideally using informal conversation. In this session, participants will evaluate common examples of conflict, explore effective communication strategies to be used when addressing conflict, learn about key techniques such as motivational interviewing and ultimately be able to adequately address community and individual concerns. Should informal conversations be ineffective, we’ll discuss the rest of the College Panhellenic judicial process, including mediation and a judicial hearing. Join us if you want to ease communication among chapters and individual members for the greater good of your community.

THIS DOESN’T RELATE TO ME: AN AUTOMATIC RESPONSE TO DEATH LEADERSHIP + RESILIENCY

Room 208 // Program #606

When tragedies make major headlines within the fraternal community, we generate versions of the same response: that death has nothing to do with my chapter, my council, my school.

Our automatic response is to disassociate because it is hard to entertain something as horrific as the loss of a member. But in a time of national turbulence and the redefining of what it means to be Greek, we must recognize when our communal actions no longer reflect our values. It is everyone’s responsibility to take responsibility. We must enact change now to create a safer and more impactful culture for our future brothers and sisters.

CBFO

Room 301 // Program #607

Inspired by Peter Fryer’s seminal work “Staying Power, The History of Black People in Britain,” this journey begins by focusing on a distinctive period when photography served as an archival tool to capture historical moments in the Historical Black College experience. This prolific presentation and NBGLC favorite critically analyzes archival images drawn from various collegiate and personal collections, documenting the experiences of Black Greek-letter organizations from the mid-to-latter half of the 20th century. This demonstration journeys from decade to decade, through documentary to portraiture to staged allegorical photographs to modern-day selfies, all invoking the genesis of BGLOs, their subsequent expansion, ensuing challenges and extraordinary cultural displays and campus performances, to hiphop culture of the millennium.

For those that identify as NPHC sorority women of color, we wear many hats and can find it difficult to identify ways to practice self-care and to be supportive of our fellow NPHC sisters. So what does support for our fellow NPHC sisters really look like as a woman of color? How do we manage life with all the hats we wear and the pressures of society when juggling sorority work, pursuing a degree, fraternity/sorority life office requirements, expectations from sponsoring graduate chapters, managing relationships, and the list goes on and on. Hear from student life professionals who identify as Black women who have been active members of their NPHC sororities for more than 43 collective years, focusing on intersectionality, colorism, unconscious bias, and keys to self-care.

Sexual violence prevention has become a hot button issue on college campuses throughout North America. As the conversation has permeated fraternity and sorority trainings, anecdotes of fraternity men refusing to engage in this conversation has followed.

This session will use research about how fraternity men identify and connect with brotherhood to create a discussion about why men often resist engaging in conversations about how to prevent sexual violence in our campus communities.

In this interactive program, Chris shares REAL details about his decade-long struggle with depression, helping male students understand and recognize the symptoms and addictive forms of escapism that bar men from seeking help earlier. Finally, Chris normalizes the idea that expressing feelings IS masculine, maintaining our brains is as important as maintaining our bodies, and that showing empathy is a missing and meaningful part of true brotherhood.

“Sorry” is a word used often—and not because we owe a million apologies. No, “sorry” has become a word in our language we say anytime we feel as though we may have caused an inconvenience, we feel guilty or ashamed, we’re nervous, stressed, happy, sad, introverted, extroverted, asking a question, offering an opinion, etc. We’re apologizing for almost everything that we feel, share, or that comes out of our mouths. We’re apologizing for our existence.

Our opinions, identities and womanhood are worthy of more than apology. Apologies are powerful, and ought to be saved for moments when we’ve done something wrong or hurt someone.

This session will help you learn that you are meaningful and powerful—that your existence does not require an apology.

In this multimedia presentation, we will focus on what it means to be the most valuable member to your organization. Traditionally, being made or paper was an indication of one’s worth to their organization; however, over time, just because you endured a more physical process does not mean that same energy is put forth into the organization. We will look at the principles and foundation of NPHC organizations and the importance of being more than the status quo and breaking any negative stereotypes and or “traditions” that are hurting the livelihood and threatening the existence of our beloved organizations.

BE A LEADER YOU WOULD FOLLOW LEADERSHIP + RESILIENCY

White River A // Program #620

What type of leader would you follow? Chances are you would pick someone who inspires people to achieve goals and dreams, someone who is an adept listener and problem solver, someone who makes the team stronger through their character and integrity. These leaders stand in stark contrast to what we see daily– people in charge who lack these skills and therefore 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 mastery of leadership skills. Corey pushes you to be leader you would follow by providing innovative tools to inspire others, attack team dysfunction, seek the greatest good, and muster courage to lead under pressure.

Thinking about diversity as inviting a person to a party means inclusion is ensuring that person is also asked to dance.

Ensuring ALL students feel valued means leaders need to develop heightened levels of cultural competence.

You are preparing for Panhellenic recruitment and checking in with each chapter. As you approach each group, you see them practicing chants, perfectly coordinating outfits, and orchestrating synchronized clapping. Is this what a PNM wants or needs? Or are they looking for connection, friendship, and hoping to matter to a group of strong women? You know relationships and conversations are the core of successful recruitment. So why do we devote so many resources to door stacks, ornate balloon displays, chants, and clapping? Is it really part of the hype or is it just part of an act? We’ll discuss the elements of formal recruitment that create barriers to meaningful relationships, productive conversations, and authenticity.

By exploring the myths (and realities) surrounding fraternities and sororities, participants will have honest conversations regarding the future of their fraternity/ sorority communities and how individual members can impact their organizations in positive ways.

TURNING LEMONS INTO LEMONADE: A WORKSHOP ON LEADERSHIP AND COPING WITH CHANGE LEADERSHIP + RESILIENCY ICC 125 // Program #718

Graduation, preparing for the job market, a romantic breakup, divorce, switching majors, major trauma—all are potential causes for a mental health breakdown that could derail the life of a college student. This session will combine lecture, group discussion, storytelling, and improv theatre. Attendees will learn to think like a leader and prepare for major change in college and beyond—to not only survive but thrive. Attendees will also learn how to reframe failure as a lesson on the way to success—a consistent trait of all great leaders. Additionally, we will cover developing healthy selftalk, eliminating unhealthy self-talk, and cultivating positive coping skills, which are all key to a fulfilling life and successful leadership.

SECRETS OF A HEADHUNTER: HOW TO GET YOUR RÉSUMÉ NOTICED LIFE AFTER COLLEGE ICC 126 // Program #719

Corporate recruiters don’t care about your Greek experience, especially when it’s a couple bullet points on your résumé. They also don’t care about the 10 bullet points you copied and pasted from your internship job description. Employers give your résumé a 30-second scan, and most big companies have a computer scan for them. They want to see your accomplishments, your skills, and what you will contribute to their business objectives. For most of you, those things are buried. It has gotten harder and harder to get noticed in a highly competitive job market. This corporate headhunter will show you how to highlight your fraternal leadership experiences and what you need to do to get noticed every time.

THE FIVE GREAT HAZING MYTHS HEALTH + SAFETY ICC 127 // Program #720

Hazing is arguably the single greatest challenge facing fraternities and sororities today. In spite of the deaths, the injuries, the lawsuits, and the negative media attention, hazing persists in our community.

But why? Most students engage in hazing because they believe that hazing accomplishes positive things for new members and for their chapters. But these beliefs are largely based on myth, not reality.

This session will debunk the myths we have built up around hazing— that hazing builds better chapters and creates more committed members. Participants will also learn strategies aimed at combating hazing in their chapters and communities.

Let’s sit down and have an honest conversation about what it means to be a good advisor. Does race or ethnicity matter? Listen to the tale of how a predominantly White office became an advocate for NPHC and other culturally based chapters on campus. In a session like this, there’s no room for excuses.

HOW TO DO YOUR JOB AND STILL HAVE FRIENDS: IFC STANDARDS BOARD TRAINING MANAGEMENT + OPERATIONS White River A // Program #722

Holding a brother accountable for a violation of a policy is not only not fun, it’s also really hard—especially if you’ve never been taught how to do that. This session will provide your IFC leaders, specifically your IFC Judicial chair, a much-needed roadmap for conducting effective standards board training, appropriate talking points to begin building that all-important bridge to your Student Conduct department and, instill in them the importance of creating a culture of IFC peer-to-peer accountability.

THE SHIFT TOWARD A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO HAZING PREVENTION HEALTH + SAFETY White River B // Program #723

The Shift is a series of discussions for a different approach. Hazing has been talked about for decades. Policies, speakers, e-learning, and posters have been used to try to prevent hazing. Some of those attempts may be helpful, but none have been enough. Many of our brothers and sisters (and many of us) need something new. The Shift is about a different way to approach this issue that focuses on the high-risk hazing that can cause harm no one wants to happen.

We will cover a surprising blind spot that almost no one thinks about. And we will emphasize taking a realistic approach that will give you a fresh, new way to ensure everyone remains safe in your chapter and community.

CULTURALLY BASED FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS & SEXUAL MISCONDUCT: IT’S TIME FOR CRITICAL CONVERSATIONS HEALTH + SAFETY

NBGLC

CBFO White River D // Program #725

In examining risk management programming for culturally based fraternal organizations, there is still a key component missing from the equation—sexual misconduct education. Students of color are less likely to report at PWIs. These survivors stay hidden, or feel pressured not to come forward because they don’t want to “make things worse” for another student 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.

NPHC: CHECK YOUR LEADERSHIP EGO

For far too long, soft skills have been looked at as a luxury, not a necessity. Yet, when it comes to a great sales conversation, authentic connections, and relationship building, soft skills are imperative for success. Well-refined soft skills can be a game-changer for any leader. Effectively leveraging these skills not only enables you to work more efficiently, but also bolsters your leadership capabilities in your chapter and organization. In this keynote, speaker and coach Stacy Nadeau will identify the top soft skills that are imperative to productivity and success in your various leadership roles. Stacy has a unique ability to take this topic and leave participants with tangible ways to improve their emotional intelligence and success.

NPHC, are we leading the way we always have or are we innovating?

Our culture is one of history and pride, but unfortunately, the dark side of that is ego and stagnation. Let’s talk about who you are personally as a leader in your chapter. 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. We then need to own where we are as an NPHC, in order to push us towards a successful future. Let’s talk.

BOSS MOVES: THE LONG TERM SOLUTION WE’VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR MANAGEMENT + OPERATIONS White River H // Program #727

What’s the # 1 problem we see in fraternity/sorority life that prevents us from moving forward as a community? It’s not what you think.

It’s a lack of officer transition. You will learn how to identify and train future leaders, ensure successful officer and job transition, and adequately set new goals for the upcoming year, including details on student leadership training and officer transition retreats. You will understand what effective committee structure looks like and why it’s important. You will review effective meeting and communication techniques and underscore the importance of organizational financial responsibilities. Finally, we’ll examine the role of frequent and honest communication with all of your stakeholders.

BEHIND THE IFC: THE STORY OF THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT + OPERATIONS White River I // Program #728

GAME CHANGERS

One year ago the NIC member organizations passed a standard that requires each organization to have and enforce a policy that all of their chapters are part of an IFC that is both in alignment with NIC standards (as they are outlined in the IFC SOP Manual) and pays NIC dues. It was proposed and passed unanimously by the membership. But what does that even mean? And how did we (NIC member organizations get here)? Join the NIC staff share the behind the scenes story and intention of the SOP manual for IFCs across North America.

ARE WE “WOKE” YET? SCHOOL DAZE AND BURNING SANDS 30 YEARS LATER (AND COUNTING) HEALTH + SAFETY

NBGLC White River J // Program #729

When SCHOOL DAZE hit the silver screen in 1988, the story line was very familiar and relevant to many African Americans.

Set in the late 1980s/early 1990s, amongst the post-Civil Rights generation, Spike Lee confronted concepts like “Black Nationalism” and “Black Pride” through the lens of Black college life, inclusive of the extraordinary campus fraternity culture.

Fast forward almost thirty years, BURNING SANDS, released in 2017, is still sparking conversation on the burgeoning subgenre of TV dramas and films about collegiate fraternities. Here, Tish juxtaposes the parallels between the two films and draws distinctive perspectives from the attendees on the relevance of the comparisons between the two works to address topics of social justice, inner-cultural competence, history, hazing, and hell night.
