Summit Against Hate

Empowering Fraternity and Sorority Leaders to Combat Antisemitism

"With rising incidents of antisemitism on campuses, it is important that we provide our members with the tools and knowledge to create a safe campus environment. Fraternity and sorority leaders can have a tremendous impact in addressing hatred, bigotry, and discrimination. We’re proud to partner in this programming,” stated Executive Director Andy Huston. “It is important that we provide our students with the training and skills to address antisemitism on campus.”

The Summit Against Hate had 186 attendees during our virtual offering for student leaders in November. We then held the program in-person at the Association of Fraternity/ Sorority Advisors Annual Meeting with approximately 50 campus-based and headquarters professionals in attendance. Panelists included: Candice Perilstein (ADL), Matt Berger (FCAS), Rabbi Mendy Felig (Miami Chabad), Jamie Zinn (Florida Hillel), & Chava Backman (USF Chabad). As a result, we were invited to hold a virtual Summit Against Hate for student leaders in Greek life in collaboration with the North American Interfraternity Conference and National Panhellenic Conference. This program reached 146 campus leaders.

The Summit Against Hate was a recipient of the 2017 and 2021 North American Interfraternity Conference’s Laurel Wreath Award, co-hosted by Zeta Beta Tau, Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority, Sigma Delta Tau Sorority, and Sigma Alpha Mu. This program is partly funded by sponsors – including the Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation.
