#AFLVCENTRAL FAQ Award Recipients

Promptness

Students and advisors wearing an award recipient ribbon represent councils which have applied and been selected to receive awards at the recognition banquet on Saturday. Ask these individuals about the outstanding work they are doing on their campuses!

Please arrive early to the educational sessions, even if you identified your intent to attend in the Whova app, 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 Game Changers and/or Exhibit Hall.

Conference Dress We suggest the following attire for each day of the conference: Thursday - Council Apparel, Greek Letters, or collegiate gear is the standard; Friday & Saturday - Business Casual; Saturday Banquet - Pin Attire; Sunday - Casual, in preparation for the trip home. Also, check the forecast before you leave because Indianapolis is chilly in the winter. Come prepared with coats, scarves, gloves, etc.

Hotel Space In addition to meeting rooms at the JW Marriott, we also host sessions at the Indianapolis Convention Center (listed as ICC) and the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown (listed as IMD). You can access the ICC and IMD via the skybridge near Starbucks.

Standards Policy

JW Marriott Hotel Information

To ensure all AFLV Conferences continue to maintain a reputation for excellence and 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.

Check In

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 Indiana 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.

Check in is at 3:00 PM. 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 AM. 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 JW Marriott 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.

Professionals’ Institute Research-Driven Answers to 5 Fundamental Questions Sponsored by: Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors

White River E | Program #010 *Pre-Registration required

What impact does deferred recruitment have on the student experience? Does getting rid of pledging make a difference in hazing culture? What is the ideal chapter size? What are the biggest predictors of member retention? Is GPA a reliable predictor of chapter culture? In an era of high-profile hazing deaths, sexual misconduct allegations, and campus fraternity/sorority system shutdowns, college and university leaders are looking for answers. Often, they are forced to fall back on practices that seem promising, but there is no empirical evidence to suggest whether or not those practices make a difference. As professionals grapple with a “new normal,” we still lack empirical evidence related to fundamental questions about the fraternal experience. By having answers to the above questions, our profession can move beyond hyperbole about “best practices” and begin moving toward practices that are supported by empirical data based on four years of research, with nearly 200,000 students representing nearly 400 campuses nationwide completing our surveys.

There is something so human about fraternities and sororities. Our organizations are decades and centuries strong yet fragile enough to crumble at any moment. Our histories are full of triumphant stories yet mostly made of regular, everyday, college students. Our organizations are complicated, just like us. Our organizations are filled with drama, just like us. Our organizations are beautiful, just like us. Our organizations are powerful, just like us. Our organizations are difficult to understand, torturously messed up, and intrinsically flawed, just like us. Fraternities and sororities are so damn human. So, it begs the question, why do we do so many inhuman things? Our best strategy for the longevity of our organizations might be to focus all our energy … not on better events, programs, themes, initiatives, or policies … but instead on better human-to-human interactions. We have to bring the humanity back into fraternity and sorority.

because I said I would is a social movement and nonprofit dedicated to the betterment of humanity through promises made and kept. Sparked by the loss of his father, Alex began sending promise cards to anyone who requested them at no cost. Since his father’s passing on September 4th, 2012, because I said I would has sent over 9.81M promise cards to more than 150 countries. Alex’s commitment to the betterment of humanity has inspired millions and his promises have been shared virally around the world.

What the Fear? Being Fearless While Greek Darryl Bellamy Jr. | @bellamyinspires Affiliation: Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. Sunday : 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM | JW Grand Ballroom

End Hazing Now

The Piazza, Gruver, & Braham Families Saturday : 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM | JW Grand Ballroom

The families of Tim Piazza, Max Gruver, and Marquise Braham each suffered unimaginable loss as a result of fraternity hazing. We welcome them to AFLV Central to share their stories and to challenge ALL fraternity/sorority members to take up the fight to end hazing now. If we are not actively part of this solving this problem, then we are responsible for its continued persistence.

With a collection of over 7K, Darryl has amassed an extensive collection of written fears from students around the country. When he first started, he was taken aback by the vulnerability, self-awareness, and rawness of students’ written concerns. What the Fear? acknowledges that fraternity/sorority members do great things on their campuses, but urges communities to do more to create a culture of pushing through comfort to speak up and make courageous moves for their organizations, campus communities, and their own lives. By learning The Fearless Formula, students will be energized and inspired to create a lasting legacy, challenge the status-quo on their campuses, and lead in spite of fear. They will also receive a special gift used by thousands of students to push through fear long after leaving AFLV! Agency: CAMPUSPEAK

Black Greeks For Black Lives: The Role Of BGLOs In Racial Justice Work

Collaboration Over Competition

Friday : 10:45 AM – 11:45 AM | White River F | Program #001

Let’s be honest, being confident is hard. Think back to the last time you felt the most confident. What were you doing, who were you with, what do you think impacted your level of confidence? It’s so easy to fall into the comparison mindset. Sorority women are inundated with messages and the pressure to be perfect that it can become paralyzing and create an unhealthy competitive environment. As the Founder of the largest event for female Change Leaders, Alexa has discovered the key to success is empowering women to collaborate versus compete. In order to achieve this in your organization, leaders must first develop their own self-confidence. This program will help you create a collaborative and inclusive sorority environment, while offering you tools to develop your own confidence and learn how to break through the fear holding you back from becoming an authentic leader.

As the movement for Black lives and racial (in)justice continues to be a daily point of discussion, some have asked: how are Black Greek-letter organizations (BGLOs) contributing to the movement? The founding of each of these organizations was a revolutionary act, and many of the organizations’ most notable members were activists and advocates for social change. But what will be the legacy of BGLOs in this current movement? Are our members, chapters, and organizations engaged? Should we be or shouldn’t we? What can we do? If you have thought about any of these questions, come hear Aleidra Allen, creator of the Black Greeks for Black Lives (BG4BL) campaign, share her perspective on the role of BGLOs in social justice movements, how BGLOs can be advocates for racial justice through both shifting their internal culture, and how to get involved in external efforts.

Men, 2017 and 2018 have been illuminating and important years for us. In your past when you were challenged what was your response? Did you get defensive? Did you make excuses? Did you try to shift blame? Did you listen? Did you seek to understand? It’s time to be reflective and not just reactive. Men we have a choice to make: are we going to be cool or are we going to be great? In this program we will laugh at ourselves while analyzing deep topics such as fear, coping mechanisms, and love. Specifically we will discuss how our new member processes and our brotherhood are helping and hurting our progress. We are not where we need to be yet, men. Do you have courage to join me in putting in the work? Agency: CAMPUSPEAK

The Drunk Feminist

Brotherhood & Sisterhood: The Power Of Belonging

Affiliation: Alpha Omicron Pi

Friday : 4:15 PM – 5:30 PM | White River F | Program #005

Let’s talk about being a feminist. Let’s talk about being drunk. Let’s talk about the intersection. 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 had never heard of the term. Today women, including sorority women, have the potential to do anything. We can vote, we out earn men, and we can go to the moon. We can be feminists. We can also drink … a lot. This keynote will intersect the ideas of feminism and alcohol. This is a conversation around biology, leadership, respect for policy, and a belief that sorority women can change the world. Agency: The Catalyst Agency

What is the one trait that the best fraternity/sorority chapters share? The answer may surprise you. Chapters that have members who feel the greatest sense of belonging share a number of things in common. They are the most satisfied with their membership experience, have the strongest sense of commitment to their chapters, and have the strongest feelings of love for their brothers/ sisters/siblings. And, they are more likely to remain active, contributing members throughout their four years of membership and beyond. The best chapters are those who instill the greatest sense of belonging among their members. Using a mixture of research, personal anecdotes, and powerful stories, this program will give members a new framework for creating powerful and meaningful connections within their chapters.

Cooling Burning Sands: The Evolution of Hazing, Pledging & Intake In D9 Orgs

Michelle Guobadia | @MGSpeaksUP Affiliation: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Saturday : 2:20 PM – 3:35 PM | White River F | Program #006

Paper v. Pledge. Process v. Performance. Passion v. Purpose. Clearly, the proverbial “elephant in the room” which all culturally-based fraternal organizations (CBFOs) must confront is their new membership process. A long history of increasingly violent behavior eventually led to a 1990 elimination of a sanctioned pledge process in National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations. Irrespective of the new member change, underground pledging activities have been the basis for numerous deaths and countless physical injuries. This problem was compounded with the release of the movie Burning Sands. This highly interactive and engaging session confronts these harsh realities by creatively incorporating and blending history, audience participation, African traditions and its connections to LatinX and Multicultural Greeks, and the mass media’s influences through pop culture. Finally, we’ll outline short-term and long-term solutions that members can use to curb this destructive behavior, break the systemic cycle, and change the culture of hazing.

Friendship In The Age Of Hate Saturday : 4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | White River E | Program #008

It may seem that civil discourse and open community conversations have nearly disappeared, but they haven’t. It is possible to have honest conversations about our lives, our challenges, our politics, and our histories without giving up in disgust or frustration, but it takes work and care. If we believe that all human beings are truly created equal and have worth, then civility is an obligation to act in ways that honor that belief. This program is built to lead you into rewarding relationships that allow for beautiful conversations. Agency: The Catalyst Agency

Can You Really & Truly Motivate A Group of People? Leadership Development

Room 304-305 | Program #101

Some people believe that motivation is a product of loud and excited leaders pumping up the room, or a speaker who can inspire a crowd. And, some people are mistaken. Motivation, from paying bills to attending meetings to participating in a community service event, comes from within, not from without. Are you ready to start motivating your council, chapter, or group? We’ll begin with examples, ID your Betas and Gammas, and discuss ways to be pragmatic. Bring your ideas and your motivation. Participants will learn how to approach motivation from a different angle. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc., David.Westol@gmail.com

Generation Z Doesn’t Want A Sales Pitch: How To Recruit The New College Student Intake / Membership Recruitment Room ICC 124 | Program #102

The new generation of college students don’t want a sales pitch. They also don’t like being lied to about what they are buying. Our organizations have become bad about selling our organizations in 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 are 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. Participants will understand and communicate personality traits of the new generation of college students. KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, KJ@phiredup.com

Live Everyday Like It’s Galentine’s Day: Does Your Sorority Community Pass The Bechdel Test? Social Justice

Room 308 | Program #104

The Bechdel Test: the simple idea that two women can talk and relate to each other as complex individuals rather than in relation to the men around them. Sounds easy enough, but how many of our sorority traditions, programs, and attitudes revolve specifically around the men in our communities? In this program, we will dive into the history of female friendship, history and meaning behind sorority practices, our role in reshaping the fraternal movement, and how we can reclaim, emphasize, and reinvigorate the strong, female relationships in our communities, chapters, and campuses. Participants will identify heteronormative and masculinecentric traditions and programs, strategies for change, resources inside and outside the sorority community, and ways to leverage and lift the voices of all women in our communities.

I’m A Member Of (Insert Organization Here): Cultivating a Culture of Alumni Engagement Life After College

Room 107 | Program #105

Think about it. What are you doing to continue your lifelong membership? Culturally-based fraternities understand what it means to be a member for life, and we can take notes from their commitment to their organizations. Our chapters need advisors all over the country to work with collegians. This session aims to reframe participants’ perception of alumni engagement to focus on active members and young alumni. Participants will discuss how continuing education and alumni programming can create a pipeline from active to alumni membership. Let’s make “Not four years but for life” mean something. Participants will develop a personal plan for alumni engagement, as well as identify ways their chapter can encourage continued involvement after graduation.

Nothing Happens To Us, Everything Happens For Us Health & Wellness

Room 208 | Program #106

It is easy to walk through life feeling like challenges are roadblocks. Even those who look like they have it all together, tend to have something happening behind closed doors. Attendees will discover potential positives and benefits from any situation they may have dealt with or may be presently going through, find the lesson in their struggle and how to move forward using it to their benefit, and learn techniques to shift their perspectives towards their challenges and how to use them to their benefit. Excessive drinking, negative behavior patterns, or family issues are prime examples of challenges, and it is extremely important for individuals to not let these hold them back. Participants will learn how to grow from challenging lessons and how to apply these new skills in future situations. Caren DeCesaris, TheSoulSpeakCo.™, carendecesaris@gmail.com

Ongoing Regard: Thoughtful Recognition Leadership Development

Room 206 | Program #107

It’s safe to say when we feel valued, we do better work — whether that is within our organizations, academics, jobs and beyond. More importantly, knowing our work is valued can affirm we matter as a person. Recognizing people for a job well done in our organizations can seem intimidating and often we miss the mark in truly giving meaningful feedback. So how do we improve? Enter in the concept of ongoing regard, a way to give specific, direct, and impactful recognition developed by Dr. Robert Kegan and Dr. Lisa Laskow Lahey. Through learning this language of feedback, you will be better equipped to help your members feel valued and in turn have a team that is more dedicated to their work and your organization. Participants will discover the importance of giving meaningful recognition and how to utilize ongoing regard in their organizations. Morgan Donnelly, Alpha Xi Delta, mdonnelly@alphaxidelta.org

How do you support your national organization and local community without placing a financial burden on your members? How do you leave resources behind for the next calendar year? Budget management and fundraising work hand-in-hand when planning for a successful year. Fundraising is more than parties, car washes, and raffle tickets. This interactive session will examine how to become a mission driven organization and develop robust financial resources from community and corporate partners. Participants will develop a chapter budget to increase revenue streams. Adrian Scott, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., ascott@apa1906.net

Why Our Members Make Risky Decisions Risk Reduction & Management

Room 302-303 | Program #110

Effective risk management policies are incredibly important in creating safer organizations and communities, and we won’t talk about any of them. Instead, let’s examine the forces causing 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 causing 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. Participants will gain a new perspective on the genesis of risk management issues, and they will learn how to create environments within their chapters that encourage introspection and personal development.

Health & Wellness

Room 204 | Program #112

In the landscape of sorority, members and chapters are constantly faced with mean girl behavior. Yet, we constantly strive to build one another up while negating what society tells women how female friendships should look. By utilizing women’s group dynamic theories, Text Me When You Get Home: The Evolution and Triumph of the Modern Female Friendship, by Kayleen Schaefer, and real time examples of female friendship, participants will dig deeper to understand the importance of sisterhood, friendship and the power that comes from combining both for the benefit of the sorority experience. After all, where would we be today if our founders didn’t set their fears aside and say today is the day friendship and sisterhood wins? Participants will recognize healthy ways to build friendship and sisterhood in a cohesive setting without falling prey to negative narratives.

The Balancing Act: Mental Health, Self Care, & Our Students Professionals Only

Health & Wellness

Room 314 | Program #113

One in two college students will become depressed to the point of being unable to function, while one in ten students will seriously consider suicide during their time in college. With such staggering statistics, it is highly probable that campus professionals will eventually interact with a at least one student experiencing a mental health crisis. Being equipped to understand and assist these students is imperative for the health and safety of our campuses. However, this often has an impact on our own personal mental health, requiring us to examine how we approach self-care in the face of student crisis. Participants will learn best practices when dealing with student mental health crisis and ways to better support their own personal mental health in the face of student crisis. Annalise Sinclair, Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity, annalisemsinclair@gmail.com

We’re Not Suspended, You’re Suspended: Addition By Subtraction In Fraternal Communities Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs Room 101 | Program #114

What happens when an inter/national organization or campus has to close an organizations? Whether your campus sees a Game of Thrones style fight for a property or a race to overtake the social status of the dismissed group, we’d challenge you to see this as a chance to regroup as a community. Peer accountability is desperately needed as we work to shift the culture of fraternities and sororities on our campuses. With the loss of a chapter, what conversations is your council having in the aftermath? What changes has your community made to ensure another organization doesn’t close as well? Let’s work to create sustainable change that will ensure the future of fraternity on your campus. Participants will know how to process the loss of an organization on campus, how to move forward in support as a community, and how to create sustainable infrastructure that prevents the closure of future groups on their campus through peer accountability and education.

There’s A Lot Of Smoke. How Do You Put Out The Fire? Risk Reduction & Management

Room 203 | Program #115

Council officers are some of the most informed students within their fraternity/sorority communities. When it comes to hazing, many community members come to them with issues they’ve heard and witnessed, yet have little or no proof to hold any organization accountable. This session will cover opportunities to embed accountability structures within fraternity/sorority communities while providing tips on how to develop a sense of urgency in your community surrounding hazing. Participants will gain a willingness to hold themselves and their members/organizations accountable for behaviors that run counter to espoused values.

Transcendent Sisterhood: Vulnerability, Belonging, & Authentic Connection In The Sorority Experience Chapter Management

Room 103 | Program #116

We all know it when we see it. That chapter whose sisterhood is contagious. We want what they have but can’t put our finger on what it is that makes them so different. How does my chapter achieve that kind of sisterhood? What are we doing wrong? In 2016 and 2017, Dyad Strategies embarked on a journey to better understand what makes certain chapters’ sisterhood so special. By conducting in depth research into chapters with high indicators of sisterhood and those with low indicators of sisterhood and commitment, Dyad was able to identify the practices and behaviors that create and disintegrate sisterhood. In this session, participants will learn the secret to transcendent sisterhood and leave with real-life practices that can be implemented right away. Participants will discover lessons from research that link a chapters’ customs, practices, and behaviors to their overall sisterhood. Brittany Todd, Texas Tech University, Brittany.Todd@ttu.edu

Identifying Habits: The Chronic Behaviors Preventing Organization Success Chapter Management

White River A | Program #117

As organizations, we develop habits that impact our daily functions, just as we have daily habits that impact us as a person. These habits have developed over time and either make our organization better, hinder our success, or stall progress. In this session filled with discussion and activities, participants will walk through an exercise to identify the negative habits engrained in their group or community’s culture, learn how to change these habits by applying “The Habit Loop,” and leave with a collaborative, values-focused action plan for addressing the habits they identified. Participants will understand how habits prevent their organizations from growth or providing a positive membership experience and how to change them. Austin Arias, CAMPUSPEAK, austin@austinarias.com

It Costs Zero Dollars To Be A Good Person Fraternal Values

Room ICC 123 | Program #118

When did it become cool not to care? Why do so many people get joy out of being petty at someone’s else’s expense? And, why are we okay letting this all happen? Through an exploration of Gen Z trends and the philosophy of Social Excellence, this presentation will offer a pathway to manage rejection, conflict, and competition while remaining a good person. Perhaps the secret to our reputation problems, to meeting our growth potential, and to deepening our sense of sisterhood and brotherhood is as simple as choosing to invest in the daily work of helping our members be kind, caring, and thoughtful. It costs zero dollars to be a good person, but creating a chapter culture that cultivates that “goodness” out of each of us is exactly what our organizations (and our world) need. Participants will implement curiosity, generosity, authenticity, and vulnerability into their chapter experience. They will also articulate ways to manage rejection, conflict, and competition through a relationship-driven lens. Abby Ford, Kappa Kappa Gamma & Phired Up Productions, abby@phiredup.com

Ladies, Let’s Drop The F Bomb Social Justice

Room ICC 127 | Program #119

Feminism, ladies. We are watching the world change for women. Whether or not you were “With Her,” a fan of Serena Willams, or the Oceans 8 movie, we can’t deny that in the last few years, women are what we’ve been talking about. As women, what is our role in those conversations? As women’s organizations, what is the role of sorority? How about you, what’s your individual role? Whether or not you identify as a feminist, feeling comfortable, empowered, and confident in discussions about our collective womanhood is what sorority is about — what our founders would have wanted for us. As members of organizations that make women better, let’s make each other better in a powerful discussion about the F Bomb. Participants will identify the role sororities can and should play in the creation of safe and respectful spaces for all women. Tina VanSteenbergen, ForCollegeForLife, tinaraevan@gmail.com

The program will consist of a case study involving the University of Missouri’s Interfraternity Council and how its executive board responded to serious hazing allegations made against eleven fraternities in 2018. Using an undergraduate’s perspective, participants will understand the process of investigating and adjudicating the allegations as well as crafting a public response strategy. Student leaders will leave the presentation with an increased awareness of how a council can manage an extreme scenario and how a community can positively respond if such situations happen.

Reconsidering Academic Success In Your Chapter Academic Achievement

Room 209 | Program #121

When you committed to your fraternal organization, you committed to holding yourself to higher standards - including academic success. Succeeding academically benefits individuals’ learning and development and helps boost the overall organization GPA. Participants, specifically scholarship or academic chairs, will leave this session with at least two ideas they will implement in their organization’s scholarship plan, an idea of how to hold members accountable for their own academic success, and how to acculturate new members to a high academic standard. Participants will learn how to develop new ideas for their organization’s scholarship plan, how to hold their members accountable to their academic success, and how to articulate a high standard of academic success to their newest members.

Under The Influence Of Stress Health & Wellness

Room ICC 128 | Program #122

Stress is omnipresent, but it doesn’t need to dominate your life. Being a valuable leader, an effective student, and a productive community member without breaking down, taking short-cuts, 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 fraternity/sorority 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 their minor stressors so they can focus on their major stress causers. Participants will be able to self-analyze their own stress leve, define stress and understand the ways that stress can cause both mental and physical damage, and recognize when stress is becoming excessive and assess how particular stressors might manifest both physically and mentally.

Intake / Membership Recruitment Room 311 | Program #124

From our members in National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek-Letter organizations, we often hear “we do intake, we don’t recruit.” Although this statement may hold some truth, how is the lack of proactive recruitment hurting our organizations? How can we make the word and idea of recruitment not a dirty word? This session will look at the importance of recruitment in the intake and chapter development process and teach organizations how to identify and choose potential members of their organizations throughout the academic year using intentional interactions with aspirant members. Participants will learn how to develop a strong and consistent brand that draws interested students to them.

You Can Do Better Than Mandatory Chapter Management

White River G | Program #123

There is so much expected of you as a leader. So many requirements to check off, and your members don’t want to do any of them. You are stuck between what needs to get done and members who act like prisoners. The easiest thing to do is to simply make everything mandatory, but is that good leadership? In this session, we will discuss some strategies to begin the long process of turning the ship around. How can we reduce the number of mandatory events while making our activities more fun and relevant? Leadership shouldn’t be about checking off the boxes, after all. We will also discuss challenging those above you who impose so many mandatory requirements – national organizations, councils, and university employees. Participants will learn a few strategies to make the endless checklist of “must do’s” less burdensome. T.J. Sullivan, ForCollegeForLife, tj@forcollegeforlife.com

Men, have you felt challenged lately? Chances are with the shifts in society you might have undergone self-reflection or engaged in public dialogues about what it means to be in your shoes. Men are being held to task for our behaviors, identities, privilege, and impacts. The process can be tricky, and too often our defense to this process is: “But I am a Good Guy.” We must go deeper. Let’s have an honest conversation about the anatomy of a good man. We’ll talk about what means to be a man in the 21st century, how this impacts responsibility to your community, and what comes next. With more scrutiny being placed on men, it is time to redefine the title of good guys.

#KnowBetterDoBetter: Identifying Privilege In Fraternity/Sorority Life Social Justice

Room 106 | Program #126

For more than a decade there have been discussions centered around privilege and systemic injustice within our organizations. Yet actions of injustice and bias have been magnified in the media for years. Are they more prevalent or just being publicized more? Some may say we are making little progress in the areas of diversity and inclusion ... but why? Our simple answer: we are failing to recognize our privilege. In this interactive session, participants will have the opportunity to examine the critical impact of privilege in fraternities and sororities. We will gain a better understanding of how to identify privilege, and how to effectively work with all fraternal organization to combat it. Acknowledging our role within our communities is the first step to creating positive change - it starts with you. Participants will examine and critique the impact of privilege in fraternities and sororities.

Room ICC 126 | Program #127

Fraternity/sorority is a beautiful thing. But the story we’re allowing to be told about us is hideous. It’s time to take control of the way we do marketing. Shouting “GO GREEK!” is not marketing. It’s begging, shouting, demanding, and selfish. We can do better. Learn the secrets that the world’s best marketing minds use to build trust and demand in the best brands around the world. Based on real market research, learn how to actually influence non-members. Let’s stop marketing like an elementary bake sale, and start marketing like the sophisticated organizations we are. Participants will understand non-Greek market research findings and apply them to their own practical marketing strategies.

What Does Hiding Letters Have To Do With Empowering Women? Council Management

Room 309-310 | Program #128

Every year, sorority recruitment counselors are given rules, including information about disaffiliating and how to walk away from their letters “for the sake of the process.” We are asking community leaders to leave behind part of their identity to help potential new members find their own. But why? In the time of #EmpoweredWomen, asking members to disaffiliate can belittle their experience. Affiliated recruitment allows our recruitment counselors to be themselves - letters and all - so we can begin to see the true impact of empowered women empower women. This session will show you tangible examples of why affiliated recruitment is a meaningful recruitment and how to train your Recruitment Counselors on the topic. Ever wonder what it would look like to wear your letters year round? This is where that change begins! Participants will outline affiliated recruitment training for their Sorority Recruitment Counselors enabling women to feel empowered, authentic, and prepared.

Throughout recruitment, Panhellenic women alike had us at “hello.” Now what? Using the Student Leadership Challenge pillar of “Encourage the Heart,” this workshop will walk through the steps of encouragement, how to use it, and why to use it. Women will brainstorm ways they can execute this with disengaged members, highly involved members, advisors, and alumnae. The workshop will analyze how a sorority is just like a business - to be productive we have to learn what motivates our members and how to make them feel important.

When Banners Spark A Movement Fraternal Values

Room 206 | Program #201

It started with a campus crime alert about sexual assault during the first week of classes. Then another. Then there were 6. By the third week of classes, there were 12 reports on campus, and the community was reacting. Instead of being scared, the sorority/fraternity life community made a statement of support for survivors that sparked a nation-wide positive reaction on social media with coverage in national news. That statement began with one sorority hanging a banner on their house. Then the fraternity across the street hung one. By the third week, nearly every property was in solidarity, and councils, organizations, and the community began an initiative that resulted in continuous campus conversations, training, and programs. This session will share how you can start a movement and offer continuous support for survivors. Participants will discover one new resource of support for survivors discover, and they have the power to create a movement through simple actions. Kristen Kardas, Ohio University, kardas@ohio.edu

You’ve aced recruitment and brought in some amazing new members! Now what? Welcoming new members 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 our organizations are safer and successful for all members. Participants will evaluate how the new member education process can impact the well-being of our members and explore ways to incorporate mental health education into their programs.

Not having boundaries with students regarding personal and professional life is a large contributor to turnover. In the era of advancing technology and instant answers, many students see everything as an emergency situation. Setting boundaries between your professional life and your personal life can be difficult. Students feel we should be accessible 24/7. We will utilize tips and techniques from the helping, business/entrepreneurship, and technology fields to provide some best practices for developing those boundaries.

We only want quality members. So shouldn’t that mean we are working to find the best people on campus to join our chapters? We have to stop waiting for only the ones that come to us. This program covers the important, “Why did you join?” conversation and helps students learn that you can replicate that to help you attract more members just like you. We will discuss marketing and branding your organization in the right way so you appeal to your audience. We will also cover the important topic of why students are not joining your chapter. The reasons will surprise you when we asked students around the country why they aren’t joining cultural groups. We must get the message to the right people. We all want the right members, the best members, so let’s work on ways for you to find them and help your chapter become stronger.

Collarborate: Together We Are Better Fraternal Values

White River D | Program #205

Would you rate the fraternities/sororities on your campus as being more competitive or collaborative? What about the councils? On some campuses, 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. Sometimes people don’t even know why they don’t like a chapter. Your campus may not have embraced an appreciation for collaboration and how it can help all chapters/councils. Learn how to integrate effective collaboration, how to grow the percentage of fraternity/sorority members on campus, and how to change a potentially toxic culture. Participants will learn the top barriers to effective collaboration and how to overcome the biggest barriers. Justin Jones-Fosu, Justin Inspires International, LLC, justin@justininspires.com

Does Your Fraternity/Sorority Community Make The Grade? Academic Achievement

Room 102 | Program #206

Academic achievement is one of our core principles, and the reason our members attend our host institutions. Our primary duty is to develop our members, including their academic success, to the best of their abilities. Chapters, councils, officers, advisors, and fraternity/ sorority professionals all play different roles in this process. This session will present the latest research on academic achievement, including retention and graduation. Along with a host of ideas and best practices, participants will develop their own academic improvement plan for their chapter or community. Participants will gain new knowledge on academic achievement to develop their chapter or fraternity/sorority community academic improvement plan.

No wonder women join our sororities and have no idea what they are joining. We have failed them. We never talk about what the true sorority experience is like. It is wonderful. It is messy. It is loud. It is chaotic. It is the best experience you can have. Learn why it’s okay to talk about the 5 B’s and how to do it. Participants will learn more strategic ways to talk about previously identified taboo topics and how to have more realistic conversations about their sorority experience.

Reinventing Greek Chapter Management

Room 308 | Program #209

Fraternity/sorority life is in a fight for its very existence. Natural selection is in process. The fittest will survive. We have lost trust with parents, university administration, and society at large. A culture that accepts bad behavior has become normative, defines fraternity life, and attracts men who think these represent what it means to be in a fraternity. We must create new leadership management paradigms. This will be painful and will take bold courageous leadership. Change is never easy, but the key players must come to the table and rethink the status quo and boldly choose a completely new direction. Creating, maintaining, and sustaining a new accepted culture is the key. Participants will understand the dynamic of culture, how to change culture, and how to challenge old leadership strategies that are toxic to give new leadership paradigms for successful management.

Buy In, Or Get Out Fraternal Values

Room ICC 309-310 | Program #210

Is your community plagued by chapters who don’t get it or don’t care? Members joining for the wrong reasons? Apathy? Poor appreciation for ritual, service, or scholarship? Are social events the purpose rather than one of many benefit for members? Well, tell them to ... buy in or get out. Good leaders and chapters are not able to succeed because they’re too busy playing defense and not enough offense. Imagine how much we could accomplish if those making the messes were part of the solution instead of always causing the problems.

Motivating The Middle: Fighting Apathy In Fraternity/Sorority Chapters Chapter Management

White River J | Program #211

When it comes to engagement, your chapter has thirds. Top-third leaders wrap their personal identity in your group, exert the most influence on its actions, and make your group their top priority. Middle-third members care about your chapter and the relationships they have in it, but it’s one of several competing priorities. Bottom-third members are disengaged, potentially causing drama, and checked out. Unfortunately, most Top-Third leaders spend huge amounts of time and energy trying to get the Bottom-Third to step up, contribute and care. This session will introduce you to the concept that might set you free. Lead, motivate, influence, and impact your members from where they are, not where you wish they would be. Participants will learn a new perspective on leadership based on the self-chosen engagement of the organization’s members. T.J. Sullivan, ForCollegeForLife, tj@forcollegeforlife.com

Beyond The Birds & The Bees: Better Sex Talks, Better Relationships Risk Reduction & Management

White River H | Program #212

School systems have failed us on how to engage in dialogues on healthy sexual relationships. The outcomes of this include one-dimensional prevention messaging, consent training that is ignored, and fear of calling out peers for harmful behaviors. We know sexual violence is an issue. How can we solve this problem if we are not correctly talking about a core aspect of this crime? Having better conversations about the sex in our communities isn’t going to stop all forms of sexual assault. Knowledge about healthy sex and views on this subject compared to predatory or dangerous behavior empowers our members to make better decisions. It’s time to move beyond the birds and bees and talk about sex in a realistic perspective. Participants will learn how to have realistic and engaging conversations with their organizations around the importance of consent while feeling empowered to also call out their peers.

Social Justice

Asian Pacific Islander Desi American student leaders need extra help and resources when it comes to framing our experience. We are the invisible minority even though we experience and have the history of experiencing the “Full Deluxe Platter” of racism including: internment camps, lynchings, the Perpetual Foreign Myth, the Model Minority Myth, anti-Asian xenophobia, colonization and neoimperialism of our ethnic heritage, being seen as the No.1 political enemy of the US, and more. To thrive as APIDA students, we need to understand our history and gain the tools to help others understand the complicated APIDA history. We will have intersectional conversations on who we are as a community and how we can garner support from our ally-communities in fighting the fight. You will gain a community of network that will center you and your identity and lasts beyond this experience.

Sleepless nights trolling your members’ insta accounts? Tired of people blocking you? Running out of secret acronyms to comment on photos that need to be taken down. Oh, the eyer rolls and avoidance! It is time to reevaluate the time and energy spent policing your neverending feed. We need to start talking about the behavior in photos and not the photos themselves. Member accountability will always have a role in our chapters, but it’s up to you (and all the accounts you have made in your founder’s name) to try a new approach. DISCLAIMER: we will not solve this issue in a single session. Participants will refocus the energy being used to police social media to critically examine and discuss member behavior.

Sexual Violence Prevention: Going Beyond The Definition Of Consent Health & Wellness

The statistic 1 in 5 collegiate women experience some form of sexual violence prior to graduation probably isn’t new to you, but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t shock and anger you. Statistics are often normalized and can diminish the problem. We cannot let this happen. We must realize sexual violence is as pervasive as ever. This session will help participants better understand the sexual violence issue on campuses. Participants will gain facts, tools, and resources to create a safer and more informed campus community. When we know better, we do better. Participants will identify 2-3 small steps they can take to help create safer campus communities as a result of increasing their knowledge about sexual violence.

Risk Reduction & Management

Room 107 | Program #221

Hazing, is a six letter word that can strike fear into the heart of any fraternity/sorority member. It is a word that has developed a connotation for extreme acts of violence, manipulation, and humiliation towards new members. Despite this idea, hazing actually includes a variety of subtle forms, many of which chapters may not realize they are participating in. We will discuss the subtle forms of hazing chapters either intentionally or unintentionally participate in. Within this safe space, students will have an honest dialogue about their chapter and communities’ new member process and why some hazing traditions continue despite national and university policies on hazing. Students will develop the skills and resources necessary to make a change in their own chapters. Participants will develop skills to identify subtle forms of hazing that occur within their chapters as well as the resources needed to change the culture within their chapters and community.

Me: I’ve Been Raped. Anonymous: Sleep It Off, Let’s Talk In The Morning. Risk Reduction & Management

White River B | Program #222

It’s a conversation Brittany Piper never imagined having with her best friend after confiding in her that she had just been brutally raped. Yet, in reality empathy-based rape prevention programs are becoming more common in this #MeToo era. So why are we having to retrain people how to lead with empathy? Simply put — culture has taught us sexual assault is a normal part of life. Advertising, music, video games, and pornography (to name a few), have glamorized and sensationalized rape to the point that we have become desensitized to it. This session will allow you to look at sexual assault through the lens of empathy — ultimately inspiring and empowering you to support survivors and to prevent rape from happening in your communities and organizations. Participants will discover ways that culture might have desensitized them to sexual assault and three simple steps to lead with empathy when responding to survivors or faced with the opportunity to prevent sexual assault.

The Drunk Sex Problem Risk Reduction & Management

Room 304-305 | Program #226

Where is the line drawn between a drunk hookup and a sexual assault? While some would have us to believe that campus rape is a simple, black-and-white issue, the reality is that this issue is nuanced, complicated, and subjective. Different people respond to different experiences in different ways. This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the realities of mixing sex and alcohol, will examine how your chapter’s social culture impacts people’s attitudes and experiences with sexual assault, and will give participants strategies for improving the social culture in their chapters.

We Got Rid of Skits, Now What?: How To Move To A Values-Based Recruitment Process Intake / Membership Recruitment White River A | Program #229

We’ve been talking about values-based recruitment for awhile. We’ve gotten rid of skits and frills, but is that really doing the trick? Is our recruitment really more valuesbased? Are our members more values-based as a result? What does values-based recruitment really mean, anyway? We believe it is more of a process than just asking potential members what they value in life. Let’s really start asking ourselves, “How can we make a more values-aligned recruitment process and as a result, more values-aligned members.” We’ll show you how. Participants will communicate the definition of values-based sorority recruitment and discuss its application on their campuses. KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, KJ@phiredup.com

Room ICC 127 | Program #230

What type of leader would you follow? Maybe you would pick someone who inspires people to achieve goals and dreams, who is an adept listener and problem solver, and who makes the team stronger through their character and integrity. These leaders stand in contrast to what we see daily – people in charge who lack these skills and default to micromanaging or doing all the work themselves. No one is born an authentic leader - it must be honed through experience and mastering leadership skills. You’ll gain innovative tools to inspire others, attack team dysfunction, seek the greatest good, and muster the courage to lead under pressure. Participants will understand what it means to be an ethical leader, how to hone key virtues, and how to learn from mistakes to make conscious efforts to avoid them in the future.

But really, recruitment ain’t about you, boo. Well then, who is it about? The PNMs! Potential new members undergo the madness of recruitment for one reason: to find a place to belong. What if every thing we did to prepare for recruitment, we did with them in mind? Practiced conversations skills that made them feel comfortable? Prepare our spaces to welcome them? Told their stories that help them see themselves in a sorority? In this session, we’ll talk about steps your communities can take to refocus on what recruitment is really about — helping women.

Several events over the past year have highlighted gaps with the way issues of justice and diversity are addressed in our country. The protests in Charlottesville, VA, the repeal of DACA, the separation of families at the US borders, and the continuous shooting of unarmed Black men: these incidents affected campus communities across the country and forced professionals in the field to face our biases, and in some cases, take action. While some people excel in this area, some avoid the topic altogether. This interactive session will use Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework to provide participants with practical ways to engage community members, across various identities, in diversity and social justice dialogues that are meaningful, challenging, and supportive of both professionals and students. Participants will identify techniques to engage in diversity conversations with peers and administrators by creating a list of conversation starters to help navigate difficult discussions on various identities.

Why do we spend so much time and effort covering our flaws? Who we present to the world is often only a small fragment of who we really are. In this program, participants will go deeper than the surface. Social media, advertisements, and our own conceptions of perfection often lead us to portray ourselves in ways which mask our true identity. Even worse, sometimes they force us to make unhealthy decisions. By learning to love your flaws you will achieve a deeper level of self-respect and authenticity.

Listen to real life stories of the presenter as he takes you through his college nights of fun, nights of mischief, and one night to forget.

This leads to many chapter leaders seeking to separate the two completely, focusing solely on the business. However, there are personal issues our members struggle with that impact their ability to take care of business. This session will focus on helping leaders of culturally-based organizations develop strategies to manage the personal aspects of running the chapter. Leaders will learn how to hold difficult conversations while supporting their members to create a more successful chapter. Participants will recognize how personal relationships can impact the function of an organization, how to have difficult conversations about difficult topics, and how to provide ongoing support to chapter members.

In this session, learn about dealing with risks and having tough conversations, all in an attempt to keep fraternity/sorority life alive and well. This method includes appreciation, indirectly calling of attention to the area of weakness, empathizing with that member, asking questions, and giving praise for behavior modification.

Why You Mad?: Education Of Divine Nine & Multicultural Greeks NBGLC

Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders

Fraternal Values

Room ICC 128 | Program #312

Members of the Divine Nine and multicultural organizations get upset when they see members of IFC and Panhellenic strolling or wearing line jackets. We have a right to get mad, but are we educating them on our culture, history, and organizations? Are we even educating ourselves? What would our founders think of this matter? During this presentation, we will discuss different scenarios, how we are educating IFC and Panhellenic members on our history, how we are educating ourselves within our own organizations, what our founders would say, and we will develop a strategic plan of educating IFC, Panhellenic, and our own members. Participants will understand that in order for IFC and PHA organizations to get a better understanding of culturallybased organizations, we need to be better educated within our own organizations.

Bid Day Is Not The Last Day Intake / Membership Recruitment Room 309-310 | Program #316

Here we are, celebrating Bid Day. Recruitment is over. The PNMs are no longer a recruitment issue, but rather a new member education issue. Right? Often, we forget about the people and the relationships we built during recruitment, and we leave them to figure out their experience alone. We shouldn’t give up at Bid Day and allow just their educators and Bigs to care for them. Lets talk about how we stay connected to PNMs in a more authentic way after Bid Day (authenticity is more than a buzzword, friends). Participants will learn ways to engage PNMs in better, more fulfilling ways after recruitment ends.

Do risk management policies and practices apply for NPHC/MGC organizations? You might say, “We don’t have big parties,” “We don’t have alcohol at our events,” and We don’t have houses. Come to this session if you want to look at your events from a different angle, including: civil litigation, maintaining control, insurance, Airbnb, apartment and annexes, risk assessment, and the criminal law. Don’t be too quick to say, “Risk management doesn’t apply to us.” Bring your questions to this interactive session.

According To The Research, You Belong Here Handsigns, Stepping, & Shrieks: What’s It All About? v. 2.0 Fraternal Values Room 101 | Program #326 “What is one thing you wish your sorority told you before you joined?” We recently asked that big question, and we expected to get the typical responses of cost and time commitment. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the case. The overwhelming response we received was along the lines of:, “I wish someone would have told me how hard making friends was going to be.” We’re social organizations and many of our members don’t feel like they belong. Too many sororities have failed to define and create an expectation on what friendship really is inside of our organizations. This session brings our members’ deep desire to belong to the forefront of the conversation, especially as it relates to recruitment and retention. Participants will know the three key factors in establishing a sense of belonging among their sorority sisters. Erin Chatten, Phired Up Productions, Erin@PhiredUp.com

America is worried about college men. They point to issues of poor conduct, declining academic success, and a lack of positive male role models. They use words like problematic, dangerous, and toxic to describe behavior. The problem has been identified, and now is time for a movement toward a solution! This program works to engage men in a meaningful dialogue about these issues and proposes a path toward a healthier form of manhood. Participants will discuss issues facing college men, how relationships are impacted by the stigma of the “bad man”, how daily choices influence other’s perceptions, and how to develop strategies to positively challenge other men to be better.

The Thorn In Your Side: How To Address Your Chapter/Council’s Persisting Problem Leadership Development

White River J | Program #330

The word “but” occurs too often in our organizations. For instance, “Our chapter has great brotherhood/sisterhood, but we’re not very involved on campus,” or “Our council is filled with great organizations, but we lack unity.” These “but” statements are accepted as the norm, and addressing them can be overwhelming. Where do we even start? Come with at least one fellow chapter/council member, so we can discuss how to flip the word “but” to the word “and” by focusing on three key areas: people, process, and philosophies. Participants will identify roadblocks to their success with regards to their “but” statement and will create a plan to change their culture, turning their “but’a” to “and’s.” Vince Fabra, The Catalyst Agency, vince.fabra@gmail.com Mary Osbourne, University of Missouri, Kansas City, osbournem@umkc.edu

Improv comedy and leadership? There are more similarities than you think. Listening, commitment, and connection are three crucial rules of improv and of being a member of a fraternity/sorority.

Salvaging Beauty From The Brokenness Health & Wellness

Room 302-303 | Program #331

At fifteen, Brittany Piper’s world was turned upside down with the tragic death of her brother. Heartbroken, she surrendered to alcohol dependency. At twenty, she was brutally raped and beaten by a stranger. Again, her pain consumed her, until she hit rock bottom. She had a choice: continue on the path of self-destruction or salvage the beauty from her brokenness. She chose the later, picking herself up with resilience and a newfound appreciation for the purpose in her adversity. Participants will leave with the tools and inspiration to salvage their suffering to become a beacon of hope for others. Our deepest pain can be the seed to our greatest purpose, resilience is more about being vulnerable, pain is universal, and we have a choice to seek joy and peace over bitterness and self-hatred. Participants will learn the four steps of salvaging your pain: braving our brokenness, speaking it out, seeking wholesome friendships, and healing through helping others. Brittany Piper, CAMPUSPEAK, brittpiper.lcp@gmail.com

What If We Didn’t Need The Standards Process? Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs Room 107 | Program #332

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 reframed our approach to accountability and focused 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, it can build stronger members, improve internal relationships, and strength the overall health of the organization. Students will brainstorm how to take this information back to improve their communities through group dialogue and facilitated conversations. Participants will understand their ability to create an environment of accountability on their campus. Sarah Cohen, Dyad Strategies LLC, cohen24@indiana.edu

This program will provide participants with a stepby-step recipe for successful event planning from beginning to end. Additionally, gain strategies and recommendations to effectively execute small and large-scale programs within your campuses and communities. Then, brainstorm ways to enact and respond to these strategies and recommendations. Participants will identify strategies and steps for planning events for implementing successful events. Brooke Hubbard, University of Mississippi, bah@olemiss.edu

Diversity and inclusion have not been guiding principles throughout the history of predominately white fraternities. Though many state we are open to all, our actions do not always align. This session will highlight how we create spaces where all identities are welcomed and safe. Through a series of implicit bias exercises, individuals will develop the skills necessary to create a safe space within the chapter houses where diversity and inclusion is expected. Participants will start to develop these skills through engaging in difficult and honest dialogues that have members examining personal beliefs, fighting common misconceptions on diversity, and the role fraternity/sorority leaders play on their campus. Participants will leave with a new point of view and will be able to host judgement free conversations, create safe spaces within their chapters, and identify and help correct microaggressions.

Recruitment Counselors: The Most Important Person In Your Recruitment Intake / Membership Recruitment Room ICC 125 | Program #407

Recruitment Counselors might be the most important and integral part of the success of a sorority recruitment process, and it should be one of the most significant and coveted positions within our sorority communities – attracting our very best sorority leaders. These women should be highly trained to be true guides, counselors, and mentors. The bad news is these positions are seen as as a way for sorority women to get out of recruiting or as a means to impact their own chapter’s recruitment success, and once we have these women, we’re not adequately training them. The good news? We can change the culture. You can transform the role of a sorority Recruitment Counselor into a role of significance by taking a more intentional and strategic approach to the recruitment, selection, training, and expectations of Recruitment Counselors. Participants will leave with an analysis of their own recruitment counselor program and steps to improve areas of development. KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, matt@phiredup.com

Sexual assault is happening. It is real and inexcusable. So what about the times when we’ve felt uncomfortable and pressured, but we didn’t want to make a scene and in the end it was just easier to give in? This is a situation that countless collegiate women find themselves in.

Why do we continue to rely on the same sanctions and fines, when our members revert back to the same behaviors? We need a new approach that asks members to be reflective and acknowledge the impact of their behavior within the community.This session will provide an overview of restorative justice and how to utilize it in your chapter and council accountability practices and processes. Participants will understand restorative justice and how to craft community agreements or sanctions that repair harm and address areas of concern on an individual and community level.

Climate Surveys for Culture Change Risk Reduction & Management

Room 301 | Program #417

We’re ready for change around how our community handles sexual assault. This past year, we created a survey for sorority chapters that added data to our understanding of interpersonal violence (IPV) in fraternity-sorority interactions. This survey was an immense project: we found a third-party statistician, worked within our school’s legal system, and helped chapter leaders navigate the dissemination of information to their members. This is a work in progress as we are expanding to hold our fraternity counterparts accountable and create a sense of shared ownership in ending IPV. We were tired of having our stories dismissed as rumors, so we generated data. Now, we want to share how we’re creating culture change and help others do the same on their campuses. Participants will learn how to replicate surveys on their campus.

Men & #MeToo: Our Roles, Responsibilities, & Next Steps Social Justice

White River I | Program #418

The resurgence and prominence of #MeToo has challenged masculinity. For many men, this has provoked dialogues about what it means to be a man, how male identities impact others, and the weight of their actions. These conversations should be embraced as a tool for growth. If you have questions about the role of men, this program is for you. Learn about the roles men should be aware of, how to be allies, and how to step up on our campuses. Also, learn how to accept being called out and how to call out those around you helpfully. The definition of men is changing. Be part of this change. Participants will learn the barriers preventing men from engaging in dialogues where masculine identities are called into question and how to better engage men to be a part of critical issues on their campus.

An Inside Look: How IFC Expansion Pros Recruit & What You Can Steal From Their Strategies! Intake / Membership Recruitment White River H | Program #419

IFC Fraternity Expansion professionals ... the best of the best recruiters in the business. They can show up on your campus, knowing zero people, and without throwing an event, designing a t-shirt, chalking the sidewalk, or doing a house tour, they can recruit 50+ high quality guys in a four week period. How do they do it? Sure, they’re paid (but not much). Sure, they have a little more time than you do (but they don’t have a chapter full of helpers either). In this session, the presenters - who have all successfully started big, impressive, strong chapters of their own and other organizations - will teach you their tricks of the trade. This is a tell-all, no holding back, all secrets revealed session. Participants will list and explain the most results-producing recruitment techniques used by expansion professionals.

Room ICC 128 | Program #420

What if more members were capable of having honest and difficult but necessary conversations? These soft skills, like the ability to have critical conversations, to confront others, and get critical feedback without negativity, are prized by employers. Training students now will positively impact your organization and prepare members for future success. In this program, learn the fundamentals that help build more respectful, caring, and authentic communications between individuals, within organizations, and in communities. Participants will be more confident, more likely to engage in confrontive communications, and more able to receive critical feedback constructively.

Be Fierce, Be Bold, Be Sisters: Confidence Is A Team Sport Fraternal Values

Room ICC 126 | Program #421

Being women in college is hard work. While we stretch ourselves thin to meet (exceed) the expectations of ourselves and everyone else, we also have the additional pressure to do it all with confidence. Confidence is an important and lofty goal, but not one that comes with an easy on/off switch. It can take a lot of work and resilience to develop real confidence. In this session, we’ll come together as women dealing with real life to find and build authentic confidence. Through powerful conversations, helpful practical exercises, and pure sisterhood, we will put in the work of building true confidence — because it’s work worth doing. Participants will replicate practical confidence-building activities that involve multiple women coming together to build one another up and discover the team-sport nature of building authentic confidence.

Blackballed: A Lecture on Campus Racism Social Justice

Room ICC 127 | Program #423

Racism and college students. Every year, whether via anonymous racist posts or fraternity/sorority members wearing blackface at “Crips & Bloods” Halloween parties, racism on campus has a detrimental effect not only for minority students, but also on the white students who perpetuate it. This session on campus racism is a frank look at how a legacy of white racial supremacy leads to fraternity members singing about lynching black people. This program operates 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. Participants will learn about their own organization’s legacy of racism, while getting a call to action to change that legacy to being anti-racist. Lawrence Ross, Author/Speaker, alpha1906@gmail.com

Mexicans, Greeks, & Trump Social Justice

Room 313 | Program #424

Racism in fraternities and sororities has been depicted as a series of isolated events rather a larger reflection of the culture. With today’s highly polarized political climate, an increasing amount of online videos are surfacing depicting racial slurs and chants that attack communities of color. While many movements are working to combat this, we can no longer look away from fraternity/sorority life. In this presentation, you will hear a factual overview of Mexican-American history, discuss pressing topics such as on-campus racism, confront racial stereotypes, and acknowledge sensationalized news. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the topics and how to address them in your communities. Participants will discover issues faced by communities of color, gain skills for navigating difficult conversations and situations related to racism, diversity, and inclusion in fraternity/sorority communities.

How do we know what to charge in dues each semester/ year? Should we pull a number out of the air and go with that? That rarely works. The key to fiscal responsibility is through budgeting. We will process what you and your organization should figure into your semesterly or yearly budgets, so you can cover your costs for things such as insurance, council dues, philanthropy events, brother/ sisterhood, and even some extra fun. You will be able to calculate what your membership should be paying in dues and explain why.

Your Generation Is Hurting: The Impact On Who & How We Recruit Intake / Membership Recruitment Room 309-310 | Program #429

Students coming to college today are the most edited, filtered, self-conscious and insecure population of their age range to date. Social media, the previous election and it’s polarizing results, as well as the shame-producing economic crises they were raised in has made current students unable to discuss opinions, feelings, and view points without feeling intense isolation. Now, fraternity/sorority is promoting a perfect image of friendship and popularity which attracts the most insecure and perfected students. Presenters will share data-driven insights and statistics about the college student today, while considering how this new generation needs to be considered differently when we make marketing, recruitment, member education, and on-boarding strategies. Participants will understand the impact on recruitment and organizational marketing of 5 key factors that are shaping Generation Z. Matt Mattson, Phired Up Productions, matt@phiredup.com

Students of color and other marginalized identities are less likely to report at PWIs. Survivors from within these communities stay hidden or feel pressure 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 use a false sense of pride capitalizing on sexualized situations. It’s time to provide engaging, innovative, and challenging sexual and relationship violence programming to our CBFO communities to lead, change, and shift the dialogue.

Redefining Superman: Understanding Masculinity From A Geek’s Perspective Life After College

Brothers Are Different Than Buddies Intake / Membership Recruitment Room ICC 127 | Program #601

Let’s recruit men for our brotherhood, not our buddy-hood. Brothers are different than buddies, but many chapters have forgotten this. 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 help us achieve our organization’s purpose. The key to shifting from buddy recruitment to brotherhood recruitment requires starting with a deep understanding of our product. What is a fraternity? What is a fraternity man? What is brotherhood? Those three questions seem simple, but many chapters misunderstand them (or never bother considering them) and that causes more problems. This session is an opportunity to talk, as gentlemen, about these three vital questions and their impact on recruitment and our overall organizations. Participants will define fraternity, fraternity man, and brotherhood through differentiating between brother and buddy.

Mental, Spiritual & Body Wellness: Self-Care In A Millennial World Health & Wellness

White River D | Program #621

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 individuals 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, 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. Participants will utilize the self-care workbook to develop a self-care routine which can be implemented in their own personal and work/life balance.

Let’s 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 PWO (Predominantly White Office) became an advocate for NPHC and other culturally-based chapters on campus. In this session, there’s no room for excuses. Participants will understand how to communicate with and best work with advisors who don’t identify the same race/ethnicity as the culturally-based fraternity/sorority.

More Than A Feeling: Leading With Empathy Leadership Development

Room 304-305 | Program #623

Frustrated with members who don’t pay dues? Irritated with a sister/brother who missed another meeting? Upset with someone who ghosted out of your chapter? When our members don’t do what’s expected, it’s natural to be bothered. But what if they can’t pay dues because they’re buying food for their family? Or missing a meeting because a controlling partner wouldn’t let them leave? Or leaving the chapter because of mental health challenges? Every member deals with real life challenges and struggles — things we sometimes forget to ask about. Choosing empathy, to understand and share with the experiences of our members, is the more than a feeling — it’s the most powerful leadership decision we make. Participants will identify the behaviors of one who leads with empathy to replicate them in their own leadership styles. Tina VanSteenbergen, ForCollegeForLife, tinaraevan@gmail.com

Rise To Shine: Creating A Happier Chapter Experience Health & Wellness

Room ICC 128 | Program #624

Happiness looks different for each person, so how do we achieve joy regularly, both in our own lives and in our membership experience? Learn how to cultivate happiness through goal setting, gratitude, and giving back! We can take ownership of our lives by setting both personal and professional goals while learning how to access mentorship within our organizations. Gratitude is also key, and we can implement the Five Daily Gratitudes so we regularly notice the positives in our lives. Lastly, move past the urge to Netflix binge and invest our time where it really counts: in service. Participants will come away with a new motivation to practice gratitude on a daily basis, and they will assess how their passions can influence their service at their college and in their community. Participants will learn how to effectively set goals and utilize mentorships to achieve them. Lauren Cook, CAMPUSPEAK, lauren@thesunnygirl.com

Illusions Of Inclusion: The Partnership Between NPHC & Multicultural Fraternities/ Sororities NBGLC

Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders

Council Management

Room 312 | Program #701

Although civil injustices have acted as a catalyst for conversations around inclusiveness within one’s community, the same has yet to happen to improve inclusiveness of neighboring communities. How can NPHC and multiculturally based fraternities/sororities work together? Although black and brown communities face similar injustices, it is rare they come together to dismantle shared concerns. This creates a culture where the communities are not supporting each other - creating an “Illusion of Inclusion.” Councils can work together to enhance the quality of the experience for all minority students. The goal of the session is to help participants cultivate a sense of “ally-hood” for differing marginalized groups (race/ ethnicity, LGBTQ+ people, low income students). We will also share events/efforts that worked well for Michigan State University. Participants will promote diversity and inclusion between councils and work toward these efforts with the hopes of enhancing the social climate of campuses impacted by civil injustices.

Building A Brotherhood/Sisterhood We Want (And Need) Fraternal Values

Room 309-310 | Program #702

Brotherhood and sisterhood are initial answers to why someone should join a fraternity or sorority. When you talk about your positive experiences, they mostly have to do with the bonds formed between each other, right? What happens if you don’t experience this? What if members are leaving the organization or ghost members start popping up in your chapters? Let’s talk about your brotherhood/ sisterhood as relationships with each other and an ongoing journey, rather than the prize for joining. This presentation will guide you through the key components of a strong friendship and how we can build a friendship into a brotherhood/sisterhood. Participants will learn the key components of a strong friendship, the difference between friendship and brotherhood/sisterhood, and the strategies to enhance their current brotherhood/sisterhood and friendships.

Challenging The Process: Recruitment Counselor Education Utilizing Leadership Development Theory Leadership Development

Room 206 | Program #703

Panhellenic Recruitment Counselors on many campuses are often a potential new member’s first impression of the sorority community, yet often the only training provided for these leaders is on the logistical aspects of their roles. The skills that can be developed through this leadership role have the power to expand well beyond the limited duration of recruitment. Learn how the University of Tennessee, Knoxville has partnered with faculty within the Leadership Studies Minor to develop a semester long academic course focused on the holistic leadership development of recruitment counselors by utilizing recognized leadership theories and integrating application and skill building specific to the role. Participants will apply leadership theories to recruitment counselor training, gain leadership skills that can be developed outside of basic recruitment functions and logistics, and identify ways these practices can be integrated into their campus-specific training program.

Tensions between professional staff and student leaders can often run high. There can be an even greater disconnect for leaders of culturally-based organizations. When you attend this session, you will learn new ways to help create authentic relationships with office staff that can be a turning point for your community. We will discover ways to reduce tension with staff, improve relationships across the board, and develop the skills to have a dialogue with advisors about what’s needed from them to help you be a more successful student leader. This session will help you make improvements in your community through challenging the way you work with professional staff. Participants will learn how to build authentic relationships to reduce tension with staff, improve dialogue skills, and gain confidence in strengthening community.

Fraternity Recruitment For The Modern Gentleman Intake / Membership Recruitment Room ICC 124 | Program #705

Fraternity recruitment is changing. It is modernizing. There is technology to consider, there are potential new members demanding a better product, there is the possibility of building healthier chapters because of the way we recruit, there are advanced analytics, and there are pressures and challenges that the alumni of your organizations have never faced before. This session not only looks at how to “do” recruitment, but it offers a new take on how to “be” while recruiting. The recruitment training of 30 years ago, 20 years ago, a decade ago ... even from the last couple of years ... it’s all out of date. You are a modern fraternity leader and you deserve a modern approach to attracting and selecting the highest quantity of high quality men for your chapter. Participants will provide their own answers to the five core modern recruitment questions.

Embracing Masculinity In A Feminist World Social Justice

Room 304-305 | Program #707

For many women, the “Me, too” movement has been long overdue and is finally addressing damaging and problematic behaviors. So where do fraternity men belong in all of this? The answer may seem simple, but in fact research by Glamour, GQ, and the New York Times all show that many college-aged men are confused, scared, and tired of being labelled. During this session, we will address the expectations men and women have for one another, discover ways we can embrace our differences while still insisting on equality, and reveal the secret word that is our catalyst for successful change. Participants will understand how men and women process differently, increase personal confidence in their abilities to address gender concerns with others, and increase their skills to know how to help others identify and combat these issues as well.

The Five Great Hazing Myths Risk Reduction & Management

Room ICC 127 | Program #710

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. Participants will demonstrate increased motivation for replacing hazing with meaningful new member activities. Gentry McCreary, Dyad Strategies LLC, gentry@dyadstrategies.com

Attendees will learn how to employ a framework for developing and maintaining brands for NPHC organizations, implementing strategic marketing and advertising campaigns, and utilizing specific technological tools to achieve branding and organizational goals. Attendees will also discuss the implications of social media content that can work against the mission and values of NPHC organizations, and reduce the perceived value of the NPHC community as a whole. Participants will learn how to develop and maintain brands for NPHC organizations, implement strategic and measurable marketing/advertising campaigns, utilize social media to communicate their impact, and monitor for harmful content that diminishes the value and mission of NPHC organizations.

Nope, not that word! Feminism, gentlemen. These last few years, our focuses have been on women.

What is the role of men in these discussions? What about fraternity men? What is your personal role? These discussions don’t often include 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 how powerful it can be when men come together to discuss the F word.

The first interaction a survivor of sexual violence has with any individual about their assault can dramatically shift their perceptions. Even months or years later, the support survivors receive is crucial. Further, cultures not supportive of survivors may stifle their member with experiences into silence. Statistics show members of our organizations have experienced sexual assault. It is important we understand how to handle these disclosures and create a culture that supports survivors. Learn how our organizations can do a better job of handling the delicate nature of supporting through trauma. Through this session, participants will go through scenarios where they can learn how to support survivors.

What Sex Education Didn’t Teach Us: A Survivor’s Perspective Risk Reduction & Management

White River G | Program #727

At 20 years old, Brittany Piper was brutally raped and beaten. Now nearly ten years later, as a prevention advocate who has worked in rape crisis centers in the darkest corners of the globe, her causation research has led back to one practice shared worldwide: we’re not talking about sex. In the U.S., only 24 states require sex education before college. And when it is taught, 37 states mandate abstinence education. The bottom line: we know nothing about consent, healthy relationships, and ultimately sexual assault. This session aims to correct the misconceptions we’ve normalized regarding consent, sex, hook-up culture, rape myths, and prevention. As well as provide space to do what we’ve been encouraged not to for so long — talk about sex. Participants will identify and challenge the toxic societal misconceptions surrounding sex, consent, and rape culture to become empowered with a healthier perspective of their own sexual relationships.

She Belongs Here! Intake / Membership Recruitment White River H | Program #726

Recruitment allows us to give other women a sense of belonging. Pure, free, and real belonging. We want nothing more than to connect with the best women. But instead, we recruit a random collection of bodies we hope will push forward and live our values. The reality is we have little control over who they are and what they care about. This workshop will teach you how to recruit women who want to belong, will stand up for their values, and who understand the higher standard of membership from day one. Members should not have to feel like they are sacrificing who they are in order to belong. Start recruiting for what you actually want: boss-ass women who have stories, values, grit, and the confidence to lead. Participants will learn how to have connected conversations based on the concept of belonging, shame, and understanding, allowing them to recruit and retain the best potential new members.

The Hard Alcohol Ban Starts on 9/1. Are You Ready? Saturday : 4:00 PM – 5:15 PM | White River F | Program #009

For several years, IFCs have been evaluating their campus culture and working to make their fraternal communities a safer place for members and guests. Some did this in the face of a major tragedy, others simply felt it was time. Those leaders recognized there was a problem on their campus and decided a significant change was required. In August of 2018, the 66-member groups of the NIC voted to remove alcohol greater than 15% ABV from all facilities by September 1, 2019. Next Fall, over 90% of the fraternity men on your campus will return to school with new policies around alcohol at events and at their facilities. As new leaders of your IFC or your chapter, what do you do? Where do you start? Join us as we talk through the new alcohol policies, how they will impact the IFC fraternity experience, and how you can best execute on this historic social change.
