Summer Growth Summit

Triangle Fraternity’s Growth Initiative was born from a realization that membership numbers were significantly down for the 4th year in a row.

In an effort to revitalize the organization as a whole, the fraternity has implemented various new measures to combat decline and promote rapid growth. The Summer Growth Summit is just the beginning.

We are also excited to announce expansion of staff, programming, and fundraising! All of these efforts are made possible by our members. Alumni involvement, mentorship, and professional connections. These are the tools we can use right now to make a tremendous impact on the future of Triangle.

Are you concerned about your chapter size or level of engagement? We need your help! Our alumni are uniquely positioned to connect with chapter members and foster a growing environment.

Over 40 Brothers from 24 chapters kicked off the fall recruitment season on August 1, 2021 at the inaugural Summer Growth Summit (SGS). The Growth Summit is the first of many steps in Triangle’s biggest goal of the year: growth. Funded in part by a loyal and generous donor committed to Triangle’s expansion and longevity, the fraternity’s goal is quickly becoming a reality. Thanks to this donor’s generosity, we now have the funding and staff capacity to facilitate at least one in-person visit to each chapter this year. This donation also allows for a primary staff member to meet with chapters and develop programs geared towards growth initiatives like the SGS. The SGS programming included an interactive opening session, workshops, a panel, roundtables, and an online recruitment event simulation. Additionally, the program allowed the fraternity to introduce a new growth staff member to every single chapter who will be working hands-on with the members. 100% of the attendees indicated that attending the program was a good use of their time, and 92% gave feedback that they learned something new by attending SGS. With the success of this inaugural event, the fraternity plans to move forward with hosting the SGS every August to jumpstart the recruitment season and therefore, jumpstart chapter growth. The national leadership is excited for the future of Triangle and the potential the organization possesses moving forward.
