CENTRAL FRATERNAL & NATIONAL BLACK GREEK LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
2011
St. Louis, Missouri
Welcome: On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, and the many volunteers of AFLV, welcome to St. Louis for the Central Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Black Greek Leadership Conference! We hope this opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with fraternity and sorority members throughout the country will be beneficial, not only to you personally, but also to your chapter and Fraternal Community. This conference offers pathways and hot topics that cover a range of leadership topics, as well as issues that impact the leadership and structure of our Fraternal community. Please make every effort to visit with our conference faculty; they are more than willing to share their experience. The 2011 conference has drawn attendees from more than 25 states to enhance skills and knowledge while becoming effective leaders. Also in attendance are international/national and province officers, as well as professional staff from many fraternities and sororities. Please take this opportunity to let them know how they can help your chapter/council. Another important aspect of the conference is the opportunity to interact with businesses that serve the fraternal market. Please take time to wander through the exhibit hall and introduce yourself to our Associate Members who have traveled a long distance to share their products and services with you. These individuals and companies are a very important part of our conference. Many of them are providing the educational content of the meeting, and several are major sponsors of the event. Please thank them for their time, energy, and financial investment. The conference staff hopes that you will take advantage of this conference experience by learning new leadership techniques, discussing personal ideas, and meeting peers and professionals in the Fraternal community. Take advantage of all this conference has to offer and have a great time! Do not hesitate to let us know how we can make your experience more enjoyable. The Central Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Black Greek Leadership Conference Committee

Announcements should be submitted in writing to the conference headquarters office in the Grand Registration Area. Emergencies & Medical Assistance The Emergency Information Card completed by each registrant will be on file with the AFLV/NBGLC Conference Staff should the need arise. Please report all injuries and illnesses to the hotel security department through the hotel operator, as well as contacting a senior conference staff member.

conference facts Hotel Security It is also important that you know that during these times of heightened security, the hotel is doing everything it can to insure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Should an emergency arise, please dial the operator from any house phone. This goes directly to the hotel Security Department who will dispatch the appropriate people to the scene. Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff or the CFL/NBGLC conference headquarters office located in the Grand Registration area for lost and found items. Meals The undergrduate conference registration includes the Friday Affiliation Luncheon, Saturday’s lunch and the Saturday Banquet. The professional registration fee includes the Saturday’s Professionals’ Lunch in place of the Student Luncheons. Your nametag will be your admission to all meals. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional meal tickets can be purchased from the conference headquarters. Meeting Locations Meeting rooms are split between the Renaissance Grand Hotel and the America’s Center. Please refer to the schedule and cross reference the floor diagrams in the back of this book to find your meeting room. Nametags Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all conference events: education sessions, general sessions, meals, and all special sessions. If you lose your nametag you will be charged a $40 replacement fee. Promptness Please arrive to the educational sessions early or when the session is scheduled to begin. This will help the presenter and the conference staff make the most of everyone’s time. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Seating capacity is limited which is another reason to plan ahead and arrive early! Parking Parking arrangements are to be made individually with the hotel. The special parking rate for 2011 conference attendees is $14.00 per car per day with in and out privileges. If you have questions, contact the hotel front desk. Questions Questions should be directed to any member of the Conference Committee. They are easily identified by their nametags.

Violators will be reported to hotel security as well as the CFL/NBGLC Conference Staff. Registration Delegates should register with the hotel BEFORE registering with CFL/NBGLC. Conference registration is located in the Grand Registration area. All participants in CFL/NBGLC educational sessions must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametag at all times.

standards policy To ensure that that all Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values Conferences continue to maintain a reputation for excellence and high standards, we have high expectations of appropriate behavior at each event. In an effort to minimize hotel security involvement, behavior standards will be monitored and enforced by the Conference Standards Team. While the Head Delegates are responsible for the members of his or her delegation, it is expected that each conference participant read, understand and follow conference behavior rules as well as appropriate federal, state and local laws. The Head Delegate will be held accountable for the actions of members within his or her delegation. The members of the Conference Staff expect all conference attendees to respect the property and the rights of the hotel and its guests. Be advised that no alcohol is allowed to be brought into the hotel or to be consumed in public areas. Alcohol is not permitted at any conference event, including meals. Loud and disruptive music is also prohibited. The laws of the host state apply to all in attendance. After one warning, individuals violating conduct expectations will be asked to leave the conference and the hotel. Conference Staff reserves the right to send any individual or delegation home without any warning if the violation is deemed severe enough by the staff. Appropriate Head Delegates, university officials, and national fraternities/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 university has repeated offenses while in attendance, its membership in the Association of Fraternal Leadership & Values will be in jeopardy.

jfd\k_`e^ kf jXp We are proud to sponsor this year’s keynote speakers. Find out what our speakers have to say at this year’s AFLV:
DAVID STOLLMAN Buy In or Get Out Thursday, Feb 10, 7–8:30 pm
MIKE DILBECK RESPONSE ABILITY Friday, Feb 11, 9–10:10 am
BRIAN C. JOHNSON Reel Greek: Where Hollywood Boulevard Meets Greek Row Saturday, Feb 12, 1:45–2:45 pm
COREY CIOCCHETTI Chasing Authentic Success Sunday, Feb 13, 9:15–10:30 am
If fraternity and sorority communities are going to get past bad behaviors, we need to get serious about holding our brothers and sisters accountable. David inspires members to stand up for friendship, service, leadership and scholarship.
Mike believes that college communities need to begin addressing damaging behavior by empowering those who see a problem, want to do something, but don’t. He provides tools for students to confront this harmful behavior.
Brian, our resident movie geek, uses the latest mainstream films to entertain and educate students about important topics impacting their campuses. His keynote exposes Hollywood’s truths and lies about fraternities and sororities.
Corey encourages students to chase the truly important things in life. Students will leave his keynote with a better sense of what it takes to develop character, set priorities and gain a big-picture perspective.

keynote speakers Buy In or Get Out David Stollman Thursday, 7:00-8:30 pm Too often, good leaders and good chapters are not able to succeed because they are too busy cleaning up after the ones that don’t get it. Fixing their problems or fighting their negative image. Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem? David will say what you wish you could. Let him confront them in his funny, interactive and moving style. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of Fraternity and Sorority Life – friendship, service, leadership and scholarship. He will challenge your members to embrace the best and get rid of the rest. It will touch on topics that range across all major issues facing today’s members.
RESPONSE ABILITY Mike Dilbeck Friday, 9:00-10:10 am “RESPONSE ABILITY” directly addresses so-called “bystander behavior” – those times when a person observes something, recognizes it to be problematic, but fails to intervene in a constructive way. Mike is helping students from all walks of campus life understand how seizing an opportunity to act can dramatically change their campus community. In this challenging keynote, Mike reveals the barriers many of us feel when we consider whether or not to act. Using interactive methods, Mike gives audience members the skills and framework upon which to act when they see unhealthy or negative behavior among their peers, in their classes and on their campus.

keynote speakers Chasing Authentic Success Corey Ciocchetti Sunday, 9:15 - 10:30 am What are you shooting for? A big, impressive career? A big paycheck? A dose of fame and notoriety? Like a greyhound, endlessly running, you can spend your life chasing artificial rabbits and going around in circles. Or, you can make some decisions that will set you on a path to true happiness in your career and in your life.
Change or Die Dr. Bernard Franklin Saturday, 9:00 - 10:15 am In time, higher education leaders may say there ultimately is no need for same sex, same race Greek systems. In order for the Greek system to survive and to satisfy this significant leadership demand, we need to develop higher expectations for our members and totally eliminate the negative behaviors. Yet more often than not, we won’t. Changing the negative behavior and raising the outcomes for our members isn’t just a huge challenge, it’s our most important challenge.
In this very personal leadership keynote, Corey challenges the audience to identify the “real rabbits” that potentially lie in their future. You can achieve amazing things in your life, but true happiness is best found by keeping things like relationships, character and contentment in mind along the way.
Dr. Bernard Franklin, President of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity will provide insight through his incredible knowledge and personal experience into what we need to change and how we can change—or we die!

special conference programs Pre-Conference Program: RESPONSE ABILITY Mike Dilbeck Thursday 1:00-5:00 pm Sponsored by Pi Beta Phi Most of the problems in the fraternity/sorority community involve bystanders—those who see or know about something “wrong” and do nothing, say nothing. The facilitator, through this program, gets to empower the 80% of our students who are not causing the problems but who are also not standing up to the 20% who are. This is a Level I Certification Program, and each person who completes this program will receive an expanded facilitator’s guide and certificate. Level I is the basic level and certifies someone to thoroughly facilitate the program to individual chapters, or a group of chapters, on their campus, or in their fraternity/sorority.

special conference programs NBGLC/CFL Advisors Institute Saturday 10:45 - 5:30 AC 280 Program Abstract With the growth of Multicultural Greek letter organizations and the decline of the Black Greek Letter groups, campus administrators are faced with the many rewards and challenges associated with these groups. From recruitment, leadership development, risk management and liability concerns advising these groups are becoming more and more demanding and complex. This institute will provide greek advisors with best practices, program ideas and resources to work with cultural greek letter groups. Goal The Advisor’s Institute is designed to educate Greek advisors, alumni members and Association staff on the rich history and issues that face cultural greek letter organizations. The Institute also seeks to network, explore and dialogue on issues that face advisors of these organizations as well as the expansion of Southeast Asian, Asian, Native and other culturally based Greek letter organizations. The faculty of the Advisor’s Institute consists of several individuals in Greek life, but input from other advisors, and the discussion of “true life” stories and situations will serve as the groundwork for learning and finding solutions. Participation is highly encouraged and will be the foundation of the institute. Presentation Overview The presenters will identify the various issues facing campus administrators and provide some rationale on why these organizations operate as they do. An interactive dialogue will take place to explore steps that can be taken to get more involvement from these organizations, address accountability and develop collaboration to proactively address issues that plague these groups. Learning Outcomes Participants will have the opportunity to: • To dialogue and explore best practices with advising Cultural Greek letter organizations, and specifically on the topic of advising cultural Greeks as a non person of color. • Explore and discuss the issues of accountability for multicultural fraternities and sororities and how accountability must be consistent in the entire Greek community. • Discuss issues that face university administrators and share programs and procedures that will assist these organizations. • Develop a network of professionals to answer questions and provide advice on working with these organizations. • Discuss strategies on how to address hazing, chapter academic progress, liability issues and how we can best serve the interests of a diverse fraternity and sorority population. • Introduce an action plan that may assist campus administrators respond to these students need.

featured speakers Reel Greek: Where Hollywood Boulevard Meets Greek Row Brian Johnson Majestic E Most fraternities and sororities were founded upon the exemplary principles of scholarship and achievement, service, and philanthropy; yet today, popular perception of Greeks is anything but!
If Not Us, Then Who? Let’s Rise! Jess Pettit Majestic D WARNING: There will be no hand holding, silver spoons, or excuses permitted during this keynote. As a member of the fraternity and sorority community, Jessica has decided to claim her responsibility and utilize her elite status to actually dismantle oppression and leave the world a better place.
Brian’s keynote uses film clips from popular films like Old School, Animal House, Stomp the Yard and College (and many others) to explore the influence of Hollywood on how we view ourselves as members of the Greek community and how we interact within our community. You will be challenged to question what it really means to live in community with others, and to think critically about counteracting the negative public perceptions and promoting the true ideals of these organizations.
In the words of James Larkin, “the great appear great because we are on our knees. Let’s rise!” Not only do we have access to a college education which many do not, we have gained access to the elite of the elite and with this comes individual responsibility to serve. If the fraternal movement is truly about leadership, moral development, and service— then we have a lot of catching up to do.

pathways Reaching the People Who Matter To You: Simple Steps to Redefine Your Campus Image Public Relations Pathway Landmark 7

Strategizing to Ensure Your Community’s Future Strategic Planning Pathway Landmark 5
You’re on a good path if your governing council has gone through a goal setting session for your leadership term. You’re on a strategic path if you plan with the long-view to ensure your fraternity/ sorority community’s future. This pathway is for council leaders who want to create and reach their vision for their community. It’s not for leaders who are satisfied with minor, incremental improvement. During this session we will discuss and practice the importance of vision development, examine the trends affecting our work as leaders and discuss the elements of strategic planning. This pathway is for those who want their community to be relevant, responsive, and mission-driven.

pathways From 1776 to 2011 and Beyond: How Technology Will Impact the Future of Fraternities and Sororities Technology Pathway Majestic F
If this is the first time you are thinking about using social media for your chapter/council, where have you been? As Erik Qualman, founder of Socialnomics said, “We don’t have a choice on whether we do social media, the question is how well we do it.” How well does your chapter or council use social media? In today’s global and technological culture, the options for reaching multiple constituencies with social media are always expanding. Using social media is not necessarily about catching up to the latest trend, but learning what works best for your chapter/council and adapting those tools to create a streamlined fraternity and sorority experience that is engaging, values-based, and innovative. Whether you are looking to improve recruitment efforts, connect with families and alumni or simply keep your council or organization on the same page, this is the pathway for you! We will explore the different social media opportunities that exist in applications like Twitter, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, YouTube and more. After this Pathway, will you be the pioneer from 1776 or the innovator for 2011? Danny Miller, Northwestern University Tyler Blair, The Ohio State University

Introducing change within an organization or community can elicit fear of the unknown or stimulate visionary thinking and open up new possibilities. Learn how to motivate your peers and implement sustainable change efforts within your chapter or fraternity and sorority community.

The Life & Legacy of the Latino Greek Movement Landmark 2 With the Latin BOOM of the late 90’s affecting the world of entertainment, Latino/a students on college campuses have also created their own BOOM within Greekdom. On college campuses across the country, Latino Greek letter organizations (LGLOs) have expanded and established themselves as reputable organizations, diversifying Greek life. While new to the scene, LGLOs are expanding quickly, causing a lack of education for some councils, staff and students. The purpose of this session is to introduce the history of LGLOs, to share the similarities and differences of these organizations, the Latin influence on these organizations and avenues of creating collaborative programming with other chapters and councils.
You spend a year pouring yourself into an organization through your position and then one day, you wake up and all the questions are directed at someone new ... so what happens next?

This session will also give you insight into the industry if you decide that being a talent agent may be right for you. Denise Wallace Heitkamp, The College Agency
Connecting “Majorities” to the Multicultural Community Majestic D Around the country colleges and universities are trying to “figure out” this phenomenon we call diversity. Most institutions state that “diversity is everyone’s responsibility,” which sounds good, but is everyone prepared for the challenges that such work brings? Sorority and fraternity leaders (students and professionals) are being asked to increase diversity within their ranks. Traditionally, however, engaging with diversity and inclusion often means focusing on the “minority,” with little to no attention paid to the predominant groups and the opportunities they have to create change. This session is meant for majorities who desire to move beyond surface sensitivity to building authentic relationships and critical engagement with diversity issues. We will emphasize self awareness, understanding our own identities and methods to practice real multicultural inclusion-including those who are White, male, heterosexual, American, affluent and Christian. All are diverse and all are welcome! Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK

Majestic E Why are some PNM’s and chapters so coveted, while others seem to pass through the process virtually unnoticed? What is the tipping point for your chapter when deciding on whom to actively recruit or for a PNM to prefer you? Quite often, the primary difference between someone or something being remarkable versus ordinary is performing a common task uncommonly well! It may be as simple as being a bit braver for five minutes longer, or committing to a lifestyle whereby you never assume that what is present in your life is a right or a privilege, but an honor.

The Complete Plan for Sorority Council Recruitment Success AC 260 Many sorority community leaders manage the formal recruitment process well, and even do some great advertising beforehand. But that is like the person that can cram for finals really well. No matter how hard you work, you can never achieve your true potential. True success comes from the council encouraging and coordinating their own efforts with that of chapters who are effectively doing their job all year long. This plan is more than sales skills and skit ideas. It involves a sophisticated social media and branding campaign, effective compilation and use of market research, ongoing education initiatives and more.

Breaking Down the Barriers: Collaborative Programming as a Fraternity and Sorority Community AC 263 Let’s take a moment to imagine the possibilities for fraternity and sorority communities if we as leaders commit to collaborative partnerships and campuswide programming with our fellow councils (NPHC, NIC/IFC, NPC/PA and MGC). In order to effectively paint a picture of a unified community, you must understand the members who you would like to place in it. This presentation will be a practical yet educational experience to help identify similarities and differences among all councils, create meaningful dialogue about topics (such as intake vs. recruitment, the meaning of my letters, council stereotypes, mutual interest, and social interactions).

Who’s Choosing You? AC 262
Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities AC 264
Fraternity/sorority recruitment has largely been portrayed as an exclusive one-way process—trying to figure out which candidate(s) will make us look better, what can they do for us—rather than as a mutual decision-making process. This session will examine the two types of “choosers” (those who already know and understand this way of life and those whose decisions are largely based on multiple extraneous conditions) and how they come to the decision about joining a fraternal organization. Developing a recruitment plan for both types is essential for successful membership growth. It is no longer possible to just post a flyer or poster about your organization and expect potential members to line up at your door.
Good recruitment happens 365 days a year in a very consistent and strategic way. Recruitment happens everyday regardless of whether chapters give bids one time a year or all year long. Recruitment happens everyday regardless if chapters only participate in a formal recruitment process or do continuous recruitment both semesters. Recruitment is everyone’s responsibility - Panhellenic officers and chapters. Dynamic Recruitment is the process we use to help sorority women conceptualize what good year round recruitment is. It centers around a names list – a list of every non-Greek woman they know and builds based on how we add more names to the list (make new friends) and take names off the list (turn our friends into members).

Strategies for Over-programmed Chapters: Tightening Up Your Calendar, Getting Rid of “Mandatory” and Improving Morale Landmark 4 One of the greatest obstacles to member morale is a calendar filled to the top with mandatory events. If you find yourself constantly fining members to force them to attend and participate, the problem isn’t your members’ apathy. The problem is that you’re expecting too much and your calendar has gotten out of control. You need to reduce your expectations of member participation to a more reasonable level. T.J.

“I’ve Already Served My Time”: Engaging Senior Members Majestic F Which best describes your senior members: sitting in the back not paying attention or sitting in the front criticizing your decisions? The truth is, it’s hard to go from a leadership position back to being a “regular” member, and it’s hard to remain passionate about an organization when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Seniors can contribute in unique ways from mentoring new members to connecting with young alumni and it only takes your leadership to create a more meaningful senior experience. By understanding the causes of senior apathy, you can capitalize on the experiences of upperclassmen and help seniors navigate the balance between being over-involved and uninvolved.

Comprehensive marketing techniques and community initiatives will be discussed demonstrating how recruitment is an entire community effort. Session will conclude with participants creating their own implementation plan at their individual campuses.
We say Quality over Quantity... but do we mean it? Or do we mean we really hope the few members we have are quality? Many times we are scared by the thought that “recruiting” means lowering our standards.; by telling more people about the great story which is your fraternal organization you somehow water it down. No, you water down your organization by bringing in people who don’t believe in your cause.

Chapters had not been able to obtain total through formal recruitment for years and chapter sizes were drastically different. Learn how a series of values based conversations surrounding our recruitment process, Rho Gamma education program and potential new member training allowed us to make critical changes needed to improve the Panhellenic community. In 2010, a quota range of 31-40 with 100% retention of potential new members through the recruitment process has led to conversations about increasing chapter total and expansion for the first time in 55 years.

Money Management for Greeks: Chapter, Council and Personal Finances (Part II) Benton
Gleedership: Are you a Sue or a Shue?
What are EXCUSES? Taking NPHC to the next level
2 out of every 3 people who read this have a mistake on their credit report that is not their fault. How do you know if that means you? Budgets don’t work for most people, but most don’t know why. In this high energy presentation, licensed financial advisor Peter Bielagus will answer these questions and more. From budgets, to bargain hunting, investing to credit scores Peter will show you how to put more money in your pockets today. If your personal finances aren’t in order, you’ll never be able to get your chapter and council finances in order either. Practical answers to the problems organizations face every day like: Why are we never on budget? This member won’t pay their dues, but other members don’t seem to care. What do I do? How do I balance friendship and money?

DUI: A Powerful Lesson Landmark 4 Just months from graduation, Mark and four of his fraternity brothers headed to Florida on spring break. Each night, one brother would serve as the designated driver. On the final night, they decided that the least drunk among them would drive home, and Mark ended up with the keys. The next morning three of the men were dead, and Mark lay in the hospital critically injured and facing three felony counts of manslaughter. Mark shares the bad decisions that changed his life and ended the lives of his friends. This is a program you will never forget. Mark Sterner, CAMPUSPEAK
7 Leadership Principles for Exponential Times Landmark 5-7 Have you noticed how dramatically different the world is today compared to the world your parents inherited and worked in? Imagine being in class and not having the ability to text your roommates to see what the plans are for the evening. Or, having to schedule an appointment with your professor because you cannot email them a question. An emerging global community is changing exponentially and requiring a new set of skills, which includes values, perspectives and attitudes. Bernard will provide session participants with 7 key leadership principles to support our rapidly changing world.
Think You’re Man Enough? Try Walking in Your Brother’s Shoes Lindell/Pershing Ever talked to your brothers about bullying, heterosexism, mental health issues or drug abuse/ misuse? How about body image, family issues, or disabilities? Well why haven’t you then? Today’s college students are bringing with them a variety of backgrounds and back stories unlike we have seen with any previous generation. As fraternity men we are obligated to adapt and understand differences to make our organizations and chapters stronger. In this session we will emphasize understanding each others values through our differences while getting to know and support our brothers. We will focus on developing a foundation for understanding the tough issues and leave you with the resources to make a positive change in your chapter or council. Come to this session to find out about emerging issues facing today’s male college students and how you and your chapter and council can serve as a resource for this growing population of students. Blake Bradley, Illinois Wesleyan University Alex Snowden, University of Arkansas-Fort Smith
Collaboration – A Great Way to Build Campus Relationships Majestic A It is common for fraternities and sororities to cosponsor events with other Greek organizations. This is a great way to foster positive relations. However, expanding your reach outside of the Greek system and creating a collaborative relationship with other organizations or campus departments can have many positive benefits as well. This session will help you understand the difference between collaboration and co-sponsorship and show you the process and benefits of developing collaborative ventures throughout your campus. This session will give you the chance to create a plan for more collaboration and will give you ideas on how to implement this plan. Tracy Knofla, High Impact Training

Mohican Resort & Conference Center Between Columbus & Cleveland, OH We intend to bring about compelling questions, powerful thinking, and revolutionary action to transform and bring relevance to the fraternal movement. We plan to lead and chart an intentional course that inspires all of us to act entrepreneurial in thought, word, & deed. We call upon fraternities and sororities to become the most trusted organizations. This isn’t a think tank. It’s an action tank.

How Are You Forwarding the Values Conversation on Your Campus? On most campuses there are members of fraternities and sororities who WANT to forward the values conversation within their community, but don't know where or how to begin. The Fraternal Values Society exists to provide a home for that conversation, to provide voice to the values movement, and to create a sustainable network within each fraternal community for those who want their fraternal experience to be representative of the founding fraternal/ethical values of our organizations.
