Award Recipients 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!

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.

Internet You may enjoy complimentary wifi in your sleeping room and in the study lounge located in room 300.

Daily Announcements All updates on conference activities will be announced in the first general session each day. You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook or download the Guidebook App for push notifications.

Ed Session Evaluations Provide feedback for each educational session using the paper evaluations available in each session room. Evaluations are essential to the program presenter and help us make AFLV Central even better. We really do care what you think. Return your completed session evaluations to the program presenter. The overall conference evaluation will be available electronically immediately following the conference.

Meals Dietary restriction meal tickets are issued to attendees based off of their registration. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional guest meal tickets can be purchased from the registration desk (subject to availablility).

Emergencies Please report injuries and illnesses to hotel security through the hotel operator and then contact your advisor and an AFLV Staff Member in Room 201-202.

Nametags Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all Ed sessions, general sessions, meals, and any special events (seriously, all conference events). If you lose your nametag, you will be charged a $20 replacement fee, so don’t lose it! Please note: name tags reflect the information given at the time of registration. If there is a update, a small change fee will be assessed.

Promptness Please arrive early to the educational sessions 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. Note that ICC rooms are in the Indianapolis Convention Center connected via walkway by Starbucks.

Questions Find any member of the AFLV team if you have questions. All of our team members are easily identified by our silver AFLV nametags.

Registration Delegates should check in with the hotel BEFORE checking in with the conference. Conference registration is located in Griffin Hall. All AFLV Central participants must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametags at all times.

Stroll Competition Participation Practice for the NBGLC stroll competition is not allowed in hallways outside of guest rooms or breakout rooms that are in session. We know you’re determined to win, but it’s hard to sleep or learn when there’s strolling going on right outside! All participants must attend the Stroll Competition Meeting on Thursday at 10:30 PM in White River E. Teams will have an opportunity to practice from 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM. Practice room assignments will be given at the meeting.

Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff for lost and found items. 5

INFORMATION FOR #AFLVCENTRAL STANDARDS POLICY

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.

Parking The conference parking rate for attendees at the JW Marriott is $40 per car per day for self-parking and $45 per car per day for valet. If you have questions or need special parking arrangements, contact the JW Marriott. # A F LV C E N T R A L

This will allow attendees to sign up in advance for programs they are the most interested in. Please note, this new feature is designed for advance preparation.

• Social Justice

NBGLC Ed Sessions There are nine blocks of educational sessions throughout the conference. All conference attendees are invited to attend any session in which they have interest. However, we’ve taken an extra step to identify sessions that have content targeted specifically for NPHC fraternity and sorority members with the NBGLC emblem .

Professional Ed Sessions Professional attendees also have their own educational sessions throughout #AFLVCentral. These sessions are indicated throughout the program book as “ Professionals Only”.


EXHIBITORS

All exhibitors in our hall support AFLV programs and you! AFLV Organizational Partners pay the most to attend & exhibit at the conference, which helps keep registration costs low for students.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Creating a “Yes, And” Team Culture

It’s on us to stop sexual assault

Galen Emanuele | @shiftyes

Vice President Joe Biden | @JoeBiden

Sponsored by: CrowdChange

9

As an international keynote speaker, Galen Emanuele works with teams and organizations around the globe including Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, CBRE, and Shell, transforming the way people interact and communicate. Galen’s captivating programs teach teams how to apply the improv concept of “Yes, And” to improve communication, team performance, and create an intentional culture of high-level engagement.

In this keynote, Vice President Joe Biden will engage conference attendees in a frank conversation about sexual assault on college campuses and the ongoing prevention work being done through the It’s On Us campaign, which he helped launch in 2014 while serving as Vice President. He continues to lead the movement to end sexual violence through continued advocacy for the It’s On Us campaign, and through his work at the Biden Foundation.

In this keynote, he’ll highlight the best practices of self-management, collaboration, responsibility, openness to change, and effective communication to foster productive and high-performing teams. Through thought-provoking activities aimed at enhancing leadership, building cohesive team cultures, and navigating conflict you’ll come away with actionable skills and tools to change the way you approach leadership.

The It’s On Us campaign challenges college campus communities to step up and make a pledge to end sexual violence on campus. The campaign combines innovative creative content and grassroots organizing techniques to spark action on a national and local level. AFLV is one of twelve founding organizations involved in the It’s On Us Greek Leadership Council that launched in 2017.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Blackballed: A Lecture on Campus Racism Lawrence Ross | @alpha1906 Racism and college students. Every year, whether via racist social media posts, or wearing blackface at “Crips & Bloods” Halloween parties, racism on campus has a detrimental effect not only to minority students, but also on the white students who perpetuate it. This lecture on campus racism is a frank look at how a legacy of white racial supremacy in the United States led to incidents like fraternity members singing about lynching black people, the events in Charlottesville, VA, and other examples of racism that have occurred on college campuses. 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. As a result, fraternity and sorority members at AFLV will learn about their own organization’s legacy of racism, while getting a call to action to change that legacy to being antiracist. The choice is your’s.

Better Fraternity; Better You Lori Hart | @drlorihart At a time when people are calling for a “culture change” in the fraternity and sorority community, it’s hard for student leaders to figure out exactly how to fix the issues or understand the complexity of the problems. What are we really trying to change? Why does change feel so difficult within our communities? How do we create a better fraternity and sorority experience? The answers to these questions might be simpler than we believe. Until we engage and challenge the members to higher expectations, we cannot expect our communities to improve. This keynote will be interactive, fun, focused on research and theory and provide participants with a whole different way of thinking. We can create better communities, but the change starts with YOU.

Tina VanSteenbergen @TinaRaeVan

Telling the Story of Sorority

Better Friends, Better Sisters, Better Women

8:45 AM - 9:45 AM | White River E | Program #008

10:15 PM - 11:15 PM | White River E | Program #010

Tell me about your sorority! (How would your members respond?) Talking about our organizations, the stuff we do, and the commitments and expectations of membership are an important part of getting women to join our sororities.

Joining a sorority changes our lives in many ways. Most importantly, sorority fosters genuine, meaningful friendships with other women. Before sorority, Tina was unaware of the power of true, authentic friendship with women. She soon learned that sorority, and all the lifelong friendships she would build because of it, would change her life.

Kappa Delta

In this session from the recruitment experts at Phired Up, participants will learn to prepare their sorority members with compelling, emotional, and inspirational methods of communicating the value and values of their organization to potential members. Members need confidence and poise when they talk about their organization, and more than that, they need to emotionally connect with potential members and help those potential members imagine themselves as part of the chapter. Further, members need to know how to handle the most common concerns PNMs have about joining. There are proven ways to do this effectively, and this session will reveal those secrets. Agency: Phired Up Productions

Alpha Gamma Delta

However, in the midst of these deep friendships lives the truth of “girl” culture. We talk behind each others’ backs. We choose jealousy and resentment over support and love. We compete instead of congratulate. One of the real challenges in sorority leadership is acknowledging some of our less-productive impulses and tactics and using our leadership talents to steer our way to better relationships and better solutions. Tina will help you learn and practice how to unpack the true power of friendships with women, and choose to be better friends, better sisters, and better women. Agency: ForCollegeForLife

All We Do is Step & Stroll? What is a Black Greek?

Leading Imperfectly: The Value of Being Authentic for Fraternity/Sorority Leaders

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

8:45 AM - 9:45 AM | White River F | Program #009 African-American Collegiate Greek-Letter Fraternities and Sororities boast a rich legacy. Unfortunately, undergraduate collegiate members often hold misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding the purpose, mission, and history of their beloved organizations. “All We Do is Step and Stroll?” is an interactive, innovative, fun, engaging and campus-wide educational session that dispels these stereotypes. The session also offers practical short-term and long-term solutions for both Divine Nine members and non-members to positively change the expectation and culture related to these organizations. Agency: The Harbor Institute

Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

10:15 PM - 11:15 PM | White River F | Program #011 Oh boy, another speech on leadership. Instead of waiting for the same cliché leadership lessons, it’s time to be different. Let’s talk about who you are personally as a leader. As humans, we can’t learn things from people who are perfect, we can only learn things from people who are imperfect. So, it is time to own who you are so you can be real to others and lead through your faults. This deep, but hysterical, keynote will leave you feeling introspective about the person you show to others. It will show you how being more authentic actually inspires open communication, forms tighter bonds, and causes members to be more engaged. We need to talk about you before we can talk about us, so let’s discuss where you struggle and succeed to make you a more efficient and effective authentic leader for your council and chapter.

Greek Unity, Not My Chapter, & Other Lies We Tell Ourselves

Sigma Sigma Sigma

3:50 PM - 4:50 PM | White River E | Program #012 Has community service become a requirement? Something we have to do to please those evaluating us? From college applications to campus awards, so many students are engaging in service projects within their organizations. But, are they really making the connection to the good work they are doing? As founder of Headbands of Hope, Jess has learned the amazing power of service – changing thousands of children’s lives. She understands that service often means doing grunt work, but she knows how a connection to those who are served makes all of it extremely worthwhile. This program will encourage students to make a stronger connection between their service activities and the ethics of service. Agency: CAMPUSPEAK

Alpha Omicron Pi

5:10 PM - 5:40 PM | White River E | Program #014 Fraternity and sorority life tends to get a bad rap. From newsfeeds to newspaper pages and images on television media outlets, we are portrayed as being filled with hazing, alcohol abuse, sexual assault, and plain stupidity. Too often our members believe “that stuff” will never happen to us, or worse, it will only happen to another chapter or organization. This leads to a false sense of invincibility and poor decision making. By exploring the myths (and realties) surrounding fraternities and sororities, Annalise opens the door for honest conversation regarding the future of our Greek communities and how individual members can impact on our organizations in a positive way. By moving beyond the stereotypes, myths, and assumptions, our members are able to more readily address the ‘big picture’ problems, thus leading to strong chapters and communities.

AN NPHC Call to Action: Are You Here for Letters or Cardinal Principles?

Make Every Day Matter

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

3:50 PM - 4:50 PM | White River F | Program #013 With all the distractions that come with fraternity & sorority life, it’s easy to forget about the fundamental reasons our organizations exist. Are you becoming a better person as result of this experience? Are you giving back to your community in a positive way? As a fully financial life member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., from the University of Florida, WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil continues to use the values of his fraternity in his work to help the people and communities in his life. He wants to challenge fraternity & sorority leaders (especially in NPHC) to do the same, starting now. The letters are the easy part. Are you prepared to do the work required to live up to you cardinal principles?

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity

5:10 PM - 5:40 PM | White River F | Program #015 Our community is not afraid to dream big. However, there are challenges that pop-up each day requiring our immediate attention. It becomes difficult to focus on the big picture and truly change the culture of a campus/ organization when we are putting out fires on a daily basis. Our bold dreams and resolutions begin the year as top priorities, only to fall further down the list with each passing day. In order to proactively impact our communities while simultaneously reacting to unforeseen problems, we must think differently when it comes to goal setting. In this program, participants will identify professional and personal dreams for the next year and create processes and routines for themselves in order to make every day matter.

A lot of important issues that affect you and fellow college students are being discussed and decided on. Come to this session to learn more about the issues, the upcoming mid-term elections, and how you can support civic engagement & voter registration in your fraternity/sorority communities. Your generation has an opportunity to wield a lot of influence over how these important decisions will be made. Will you show up? Panelists:

Black Student Activism: From Black Power to Black Lives Matter 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | White River E | Program #018 Black student activism has been an integral part of Black liberation struggle historically and in the contemporary period. This conversation will focus specifically on the history, parallels, and imperative of Black student activism in the Black Power and Black Lives Matter eras. Melina Abdullah is Professor and Chair of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. She earned her Ph.D. and M.A. from the University of Southern California in Political Science and her B.A. from Howard University in African American Studies.

Conversations That Matter

2:10 PM - 3:10 PM | White River G-J | Program #017

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM | White River F | Program #019

As we look at the last few months, several fraternity/sorority communities, including schools like Indiana University and Florida State University, have responded to incidents involving high-risk behavior involving substance abuse and alcohol with campus-wide actions and suspensions. Has this happened on your campus? Do you think it might in the future? Join us to learn about the work being done within the IU and FSU fraternity/sorority communities in response to this situations and take part in a direct, honest conversation about these community-wide actions, the behaviors that are causing these types of responses, and how these actions impact all fraternities/sororities, not just those represented in IFC and College Panhellenic.

Let’s face it: there are people and topics that at some point are just off limits. You just can’t do it or them right now. Even worse, often it is a difficult topic that you have to bring up with a difficult person. What if you could engage in these conversations with more confidence, humor, and ease? No matter the person or topic, you are your best tool for conversations that matter.

Panelists:

Sarah Cohen, Indiana University

Chris Graham, Florida State University

Jud Horras, North-American Interfraternity Conference 13

Understanding yourself and others as differently right gives you the tools to intentionally design teams, groups, and partnerships that can bring value to a single project or topic. We are all frustrating to someone, and at times even to ourselves. Once you know who and how you are, you can reclaim responsibility for these behavior response patterns and leave room for others to do the same. Before you know it, you are having better conversations with those around you. Agency: Good Enough Now

Theta Chi

Turn it to 11: Amplifying your Conference Learning 3:30 PM – 5:20 PM | White River G-H | Program #020 The conference experience encompasses a significant volume of learning in little time, with non-stop sessions, conversations, and brainstorming on how to best lead your community. Being on the go sometimes leaves little time for us to process these questions: “What will I do with this new information and skill? Where do I start? Are my fellow officers with me? How am I different than I was 3 days ago and what does that mean for when I return to my home community?” This session will move you past analysis paralysis, help identify concrete priorities and next steps, and reflect on the human component of leading your organization/ community. Let us work together to make sound out of the noise and amplify your message for the rest of your term! Agency: RISE Partnerships

A Night to Forget: The Intersection of Blackouts & Sex 4:50 PM - 5:20 PM | White River E | Program #021 Sometimes our members think they are invincible. They go out with the intention of blacking out, but what happens when they don’t remember the night before? How does alcohol impact the ability for a person to give consent? Listen to a real life story of the presenter as he takes you through his college nights of fun, nights of mischief, and one night to forget. In this session, participants will learn what consent is and the impact that alcohol has on the ability for one to give consent. Participants will also become more familiar with the definitions of sexual/interpersonal misconduct, and will leave with statistics that affect collegians around blackouts, sexual assault, and consent. In addition, participants will better understand how alcohol affects the body and memory functions. Agency: CAMPUSPEAK

Jay Harris @JayHarrisESPN Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Because of Fraternity 4:50 PM - 5:20 PM | White River F | Program #022 We have all heard the cliché that “fraternity changed my life,” but for Jay Harris, it really did. In his signature program, Because of Fraternity, he recounts how his membership in a fraternal organization was essential to his success. From the sorority scholarship he got when he became an undergrad to his chapter brother giving him his first job in journalism, Jay knows fraternity has made a difference in his journey. In this thoughtful program, highlighted by Jay’s humor and wit, he not only recounts how his life has been bettered by fraternity but also encourages and challenges current members to see how their experiences are influenced and impacted by all those who wear letters.

You’ll come with your idea or problem you’d like to solve, and leave with a solid business plan, list of helpful resources (Jess wishes she had starting out!), and a killer network of student social entrepreneurs.

Iceberg Ahead!: Ten Signs a Chapter is Heading Downhill White River G | Program #101

Chapter Management | All Students

When we hear of a chapter being sanctioned or closed our first reaction is “What happened?” often followed by “Was this (the issue or problem) foreseeable?” And the answer should be “Yes, we could see this coming.” In this session, we will review ten signs or indications that a chapter is heading in the wrong direction. We’ll also discuss the equally important aspect of “how can we communicate concerns to members of a chapter who are arrogant or so passionate about their organization that they cannot or will not evaluate it objectively?” Bring your ideas and recommendations to this interactive session. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc. David.Westol@gmail.com

Look What You Made Me Do & Other Lies We Tell When Co-Hosting Events 203 | Program #102

Self-Governance & Judicial Affairs | All Students

Have you ever wondered why men host the parties and women just show up? When the fraternity pays for everything for a mixer, they assume all liability, right? Wrong. As a collaborating group, sororities are part of the equation too. But, what is your role in organizational responsibility and risky situations? This session will provide space for candid conversations about women’s contributions and responsibilities with student organization accountability. How can we help our communities understand the value in sharing responsibilities, and not just the alcohol? If something goes wrong, how do we develop a collaborative response instead of pushing the blame around? We will address these and many more questions as we dispel outdated gender norms and the myths of co-hosting social events. Jessie Ashton, East Carolina University jessielynneashton@gmail.com

How to Recruit, Welcome, & Retain Trans Members 308 | Program #103

LGBTQA | Chapter Leaders

Transgender students on college campuses across the nation are looking to join fraternities and sororities. Period. What that means for your campuses and chapters is up to you. If you want to know more about how to welcome and accept trans folx in your chapters, then this is the session for you! We will have conversations about gender identity and gender expression as they relate to membership practices (recruitment, education/intake, retention, socials, events, etc.) in your organizations, talk about myths and challenges being faced at the campus and inter/national office levels, and consider strategies for sustainable education and accepting environments. Xajés Martinez, Lambda 10/Campus Pride xmartin5@msudenver.edu

Strategies for Managerial Excellence 301 | Program #104

Leadership Development | All Students

Were you thrown into your position with little training or knowledge? One of the biggest problems we face is that undergraduates are constantly reinventing the wheel. All of your effective recruitment techniques, fundraising programs, scholarship initiatives, risk management procedures, and other organizational memory is lost when members leave. In this session, you will learn how to identify and train future leaders, ensure successful officer transition, and gain confidence to develop new goals for the upcoming year. We’ll demonstrate what effective committee structure looks like. You will also learn effective meeting and communication techniques, and we will underscore the importance of organizational financial responsibilities. Finally, you will examine the role of frequent and honest communication with all of your stakeholders. Michael Ayalon, Greek University mike@greekuniversity.org

Effortless Perfection: It Is Impossibly Appealing, Isn’t It? 103-104 | Program #109

Health & Wellness | All Students

Do you ever feel pressure to be smart, accomplished, fit, good looking and popular - without putting forth any visible effort? You are not alone. Today our generation is in love with the idea of being effortless in their work, while the stress is slowly eating them alive from the inside. We are obsessed with being chill, and not letting anything impact us, yet we still feel an increadible drive to lead. In this session, the presenter will discuss how your campus demonstrates it’s own unique twist on what it means to be effortless and chill, while still expecting perfection. Throughout this session you will have impactful conversations and create meaningful solutions to help move yourself and your community forward.

Life After College | All Students

Networking. The mere mention of the word creates polarizing emotions for many. One of the biggest selling points for joining a fraternity/sorority is the networking opportunities you’ll have when you graduate. While this is very true, we never actually talk about how to engage in those conversations. Like it or not, face-to-face networking isn’t going away because today’s world is more about who you know than what you know. So, introverts & extroverts, let’s chat about it, shall we? Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your new network. James Robilotta, CAMPUSPEAK jtrobo@gmail.com

204-205 | Program #110

Public Relations | All Students

Sorority women are all, to some degree, feminists. We are groups of women helping one another grow and succeed. Sorority was created for women to support one another in college at a time when they were being told they shouldn’t get an education. Today, our sororities are still challenged to uplift each other while balancing the impossible pressure to promote ourselves as authentically perfect. A prime example: sorority recruitment videos. This session will explore the intersection of feminism, sorority recruitment, and marketing videos. We’ll look at some of the most fascinating videos from around the country, and we’ll find ways to tell our sorority story with pride, authenticity, and confidence. Brittany White, Phired Up Productions

Recruitment Boot Camp 101-102 | Program #108

Intake/Membership Recruitment | All Students

Is your chapter not large enough? Ever look at a member and think...oops?! If either is true, learn how to fix it! Quality drives quantity. Our founders found men and women that lived by their values and invited them to join. We put up fliers and hope the right people show up. But, we don’t recruit, we select. And, we don’t even do it well based on the complaints so many have of the apathy and poor values alignment of too many members. We need to get back to basics. Get past the buzz words of “values based” recruitment and learn how to actually use your values to recruit members ready to live them. David Stollman, LaunchPoint

They also use words like problematic, dangerous, and toxic to describe behavior. In this session, we’ll discuss masculinity in our communities. Casey J.

Greek Week Isn’t Enough: Creating a Collaborative Community 209 | Program #112

Fraternal Values | All Students

Greek Week is fun, but why does it seem like that’s the only time the entire fraternity/sorority community is doing something together? You’ve made great cross-council relationships, and you’re ready to move beyond that - but how to begin? Whether you’re a chapter of council officer, this session will help you identify the importance of community engagement, as well as steps you can take toward creating a collaborative community. You will leave this session equipped with this knowledge, as well as with your personal action plan for your chapter or council. Drew Hopson, Triangle Fraternity drew@triangle.org

Just Beneath the Surface: The Human Element of Risk Management 313 | Program #115

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Fraternities and sororities promise a “home away from home” to incoming members. We accept, love, and care for those that choose to join us. However, for some members, this sense of belonging doesn’t wash over them when they sign their bid card. Instead, they feel as if each day is a struggle to earn that acceptance and a battle to prove they belong. A chapter or community filled with members that feel as if they have something to prove is a very scary thing. In this program, we will approach risk management, not from the perspective of policy, but rather through the lens of the human element, particularly the psychology of belonging. Vince Fabra, The Catalyst Agency vince.fabra@gmail.com

#Views: If You Really Knew Me... 312 | Program #113

Leadership Development | All Students

Can’t we all just get along?! Maybe, if we really understood the lived experiences of one another as it relates to who we are. Participants will engage in a real and honest conversation about themselves, the barriers that exist on their campus, and opportunities to collaborate as it relates to identity. Join this session for an interactive experience as participants explore the role their identity plays in the leadership of their campus fraternity and sorority community. Ownership is the first step in moving towards development - let’s start now. Hailey Mangrum, Western Michigan University hhw9821@wmich.edu

Be Bold, Be Fierce, Be Sisters: Confidence is a Team Sport 304-305 | Program #114

Fraternal Values | All Students

Let’s call it what it is: 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 upon us an additional pressure: doing it all with confidence. Confidence is an important and lofty goal, but not one that comes with an easy on/off switch. On the contrary, 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 surely work worth doing.

A Higher Quantity of High Quality Men: Dynamic Recruitment ICC 127 | Program #201

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Chapter Leaders

Dynamic Recruitment is an active approach to building meaningful relationships with non-Greek students. Chapters that enact Dynamic Recruitment continually build their network of non-Greek friends using optimized strategies for meeting new people, and they track their growing network utilizing a standardized Names List. The Dynamic Recruitment process continues with systematic relationship-building through “small, normal, friendship activities” as opposed to big recruitment events. Prospects are vetted for their level of qualification using an objective Values Based Selection Process. The Dynamic Recruitment chapter is guaranteed 100% bid acceptance because it always “Pre-Closes” prospects. The system repeats every year guaranteeing the highest quantity of high quality members for the chapter. Come to this session to learn how you can utilitze Dynamic Recruitment on your campus.

Brittany Piper knows from first-hand experience the havoc that college life can inflict on student wellness. After years of struggle with self-worth, pill and alcohol dependence, and eating disorders, she is now in a place where she feels rooted in peace and acceptance. With a combination of mental health and body awareness, spiritual coaching and yoga, Brittany will guide you through an introspective lens where you can dive deep into the same self-care methods that empowered her to overcome the pressures of college life. In this space, you will be provided with supplemental journal materials that are customized around these selfcare exercises, which will be practiced during the program and can be used afterward as you begin to develop your own self-care routine.

Take a look into how fraternity/sorority students at George Washington University decided enough was enough, and how they took steps to address the issue of sexual assault and sexual violence on their campus. In this interactive session, members of GWU’s Panhellenic Association will help you figure out how to move from issues to action. As a leader on your campus, there is so much you can do.

Risk Management for NPHC organizations: It Does/Does Not Apply? 101-102 | Program #204

Risk Reduction & Management | NBGLC Attendees

We know. We’ve heard it for years. “We don’t do things like the other fraternities and sororities...we don’t have giant events with alcohol. Therefore, we don’t have to worry.” Are you sure about that? Before you pass along the clichés to your younger members, let’s take a look at actual cases and best practices for NPHC fraternities and sororities. If you believe risk management is just for NIC/ NPC organizations, please come and participate. Risk management does indeed apply for the Divine Nine. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc.

Should chapters address issues individually? Should the council take a position on the issue? Are we even allowed to say/do something? How should we go about addressing the issues? These are just some of the questions that council leaders consider when faced with issues within and beyond the campus environment. With such varied perspectives within MGC communities it’s often challenging to take action. There are countless ways to get engaged around the issues and we’re here to talk about them. Join in as we explore cases around the issues and the role of council leaders in addressing them. Keith Garcia, Northwestern University keith.garcia@northwestern.edu

Sex, Drugs, & Alcohol: Navigating the Grey Areas of Sex & Consent ICC 126 | Program #209

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

There is no debate that alcohol and drugs influence the role of consent and sex on college campuses. Despite the interconnectivity of these topics, the education our communities are providing is at best outdated and at worst, wrong. Aside from the potential ignorance this creates, we must also recognize the fact that roughly 66% of college students are comfortable having sex or hooking up while drunk or high. Rarely, campuses are facing this issue correctly which leads to frightening gaps in education and application. In this program, learn from the latest research on the role drugs and alcohol play in consent, how to have conversations on these topics with peers, and how to create intentional programming for your chapters and communities.

Council Management | All Students

Holding a leadership role in your chapter or council comes with a unique set of challenges. Unlike any other leadership position on campus, you’re trying to meet the expectations of your inter/national headquarters, advisors, and the university administration while serving the interests of your members. Solving problems requires a great deal of collaboration, and you’re often stuck in the middle of various groups with different interests offering different conflicting solutions. This program will help you successfully navigate the political nuances of your leadership role in your chapter or council while inspiring a shared vision amongst the various stakeholders for your organization. Kate Roessler, Missouri State University kroessler@missouristate.edu

Justin Roberts, Missouri State University justin093@live.missouristate.edu

Have you ever found yourself needing to have a serious talk with someone, but the topic was uncomfortable so you were reluctant to have the conversation? We’ve all been there. Whether it’s an organization issue, a conflict with a friend, or a challenging situation in class or at work, these conversations are often difficult to have, so we avoid them. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a solid approach and a little practice, you can develop skills to make the conversations less intimidating and to help you feel more confident addressing issues that matter to you.

7 Keys to Crushing your Philanthropy Event: Proven Strategies to Take your Philanthropy to the Next Level White River A-B | Program #211

Join us to discuss proven strategies to take your philanthropy to the next level! Philanthropy is one of the most uplifting and unifying aspects of fraternity/sorority life. Together we’ll discuss strategies to help you raise more money, increase engagement, and inspire your team. We’ve worked with hundreds of philanthropy events and will be discussing the keys to putting on and growing a successful event. We’ll also have an interactive discussion about your own events, where you can share experiences, learnings, and questions. Expect to leave not only inspired, but also with a clear roadmap of how you can become the best Philanthropy Chair your campus or chapter has ever seen.

We have lots of things to get done as chapter and council leaders, and the easiest way to get the bodies there is to make everything mandatory. But, is it lazy leadership? We check things off our to-do list, but the cost is terrible in terms of member morale, commitment, and enjoyment. When did joining our organizations start feeling like joining the Marines? What if we got rid of mandatory and made our events more fun and relevant? You’ll likely leave with a desire to at least cut back the amount of mandatory in your chapter or council, and you’ll have a couple of strategies to get moving in the right direction. Plus, we’ll discuss how to question mandatory events imposed on you by your councils, advisors, and national organizations. T.J. Sullivan, ForCollegeForLife

Chapter Management | All Students

“I have written 11 books, but each time I think, ‘Uh oh, they’re going to find out now. I’ve run a game on everybody, and they’re going to find me out.’” -Maya Angelou. In 1985, two psychologists identified a phenomenon they called Impostor Syndrome. This is the feeling that you have gotten to where you are as a leader by accident, luck, or some other twist of fate. Women, racial and ethnic minorities, and other marginalized populations often feel this in an even more defined way. In this interactive, discussion-based session, participants will learn to define and identify impostor syndrome in themselves and others. Participants will leave with tools to counteract these feelings of self-doubt and learn to empower themselves and others.

Don’t settle for just being a fraternity/sorority leader. Be a super successful one! If you’ve ever felt ineffective in your leadership role, or lacked the confidence to lead, this presentation is for you. Learn what highly successful fraternity/sorority leaders do and don’t do. This presentation is filled with information that will change the way you lead your chapter and/or council. This program is funny, energy packed and interactive. Go beyond the basics of leadership and learn how to be an advanced leader with 4 Ideas to act on. Also, learn the five ways to implement change in your chapter or council, how to interact successfully with those you lead, and how to leave a legacy that empowers those who come after you.

Tyler Havens, Western Illinois University TF-Havens@wiu.edu

One of the worst scenarios a university administrator often fears is the death or endangerment of a student. The ripple effect an incident can create is astronomical in proportion and often complex in nature. Within the close knit community of fraternity/sorority life, such events are often times even more emotionally charged and scrutinized in the public eye. In this discussion, a university administrator’s response to death on campus will be examined and lessons learned will be shared as two presenters provide insight of varying personal experiences from different incidences within the 2016-2017 academic year. Furthermore, institutional protocol will be explored with intent to open conversations about best practices and advice discovered by the presenters and peer administrators.

How do we know what to charge in dues each semester/ year? Should we just 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. At the end, you will be able to calculate what your membership should be paying in dues and explain why.

Weight is something many (if not all) women struggle with, stress over, and try to control. Whether or not we’re talking about it, we’re surely thinking about it: a recent study found 45% of college women are actively practicing dieting to lose weight. We fear gaining our “Freshman 15.” We’re afraid we won’t be attractive if we gain weight. We’re ashamed of our bodies. And yet, we don’t talk about this shared reality in healthy ways. Why is weight a taboo topic? Why does it come with such shame? The only way to overcome these feelings of shame and discomfort it to start to talk about it. Let’s talk about our bodies, weight, and the pressures we feel to look perfect in a real, healthy way. Tina VanSteenbergen, ForCollegeForLife & Alpha Gamma Delta, tinavansteenbergen@gmail.com

Men Recruiting Men to Be Men ICC 127 | Program #304

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

Fraternity recruitment = men recruiting men to become better men. This might be the most succinct explanation of our ancient organizations. Yet, we rarely talk productively, without accusation or blame, about what it means to be a man anymore. So, it should be no surprise that our fraternities are struggling with expressions of manhood. We must positively talk about and demonstrate humble, confident, inclusive, modern manhood in fraternity. This session combines this discussion of manhood with fraternity recruitment techniques and strategies to make sure we’re attracting men who want to become men through the challenge and gift of fraternity.

Today, more than ever, NPHC organizations can create, lead, and connect. In this conversation, NPHC members will be empowered to think critically about their role and their chapter’s role in promoting positive perceptions of their organization, like the recent #morethanstepping movement by defining themselves with respect, refinement, and cultural integrity. NPHC membership offers tremendous opportunities for personal growth and development, which is why this session focuses on empowering NPHC student leaders to properly engage themselves in various socio-cultural environments. These, along with other personal characteristics like sponsoring socially-conscious and relevant programming, developing & strengthening healthy relationships, and maintaining personal accountability, are explored to engage and challenge D9 students to examine their personal motivators to increase their chapter’s effectiveness on campus.

Fraternity/sorority communities are often the largest student groups on campus as the number of members can easily exceed the population of many small cities. Taking a leadership role in a large chapter, or at the council level, often places you in a position to essentially be the mayor of your small town. We will walk through how to navigate many of the issues that come along with leadership in a large community and discuss ways you can be most effective.

Social Justice | NBGLC Attendees

The narrative of African Americans’ quest for racial equality and social justice in the 20th century is typically construed in the context of main-line civil rights organizations (e.g., NAACP, SCLC, SNCC.) However, for decades, black fraternal networks helped to lay the groundwork for the major civil rights campaigns that culminated in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This session explores some of that history, why it petered-out, and the challenges in the way of reviving these efforts today. Ultimately, this session explores the ways in which NPHC organizations can more effectively mobilize their members for social change.

We Got Rid of Skits, Now What?: How to Move to a True Values-Based Recruitment Process White River I-J | Program #311

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

We’ve been talking about Values-Based Recruitment for awhile. We’ve gotten rid of skits, we’ve pared back the frills, we’re creating rounds of recruitment focused on “values”, but is that really doing the trick? Is our recruitment really more values-based? Are our members more values-based as a result? What does all this valuesbased recruitment stuff really mean, anyway? We believe it is a process that is more than “based in values” and it is more than asking potential members what they value in life. Let’s really dig in and start asking ourselves, “How can we make a more values-aligned recruitment process, and as a result, have more more values-aligned members.” We’ll show you how.

How Women Will End Hazing White River A-B | Program #313

Leadership Development | All Students

“The world will be saved by the western woman.” - The Dalai Lama, 2009. This session will encourage the natural tendencies of women to utilize transformational leadership to create lasting change. Research is reinforcing what many have known for decades - women are capable of solving some of our most intractable problems, including hazing. Women at the local level can change the face of a community by standing up for their values, and refusing to participate in activities that are mean-spirited, dangerous or demeaning. Early anti-hazing activists were mostly men utilizing masculine-style scare tactics, highlighting legal ramifications and focusing on risk management. As more women have entered the fray, prevention is gaining ground. This approach promotes collaboration, moral development, and human dignity and fosters organizational culture change.

This program will teach alcohol risk-reduction strategies, bystander intervention, and party management techniques for chapters within NPHC and DGC/MGC councils. This program will show members how to implement the harm reduction skills and knowledge learned, and to what extent, in actual party situations. It will also address how help-seeking attitudes and bystander behaviors are affected by appropriate risk management plans.

A Complete Life: Handling our Emotional Health 312 | Program #401

Health & Wellness | All Students

Stories about survival are the most important way to decrease the stigma surrounding mental health issues. This program shares a story from a professional sorority woman relating her earliest memories of anxiety at the age of three, through her teens, and into adulthood. In spite of a high school and college career that included leadership positions, starring roles, and popularity, she silently suffered panic attacks, extreme stress, and feelings of emptiness. Healthy coping skills are accessible, and we are all enough just as we are. In this program, participants will hear a story of survival and learn ways to cope with their own challenges and challenges facing their friends. This program will highlight how fraternity/sorority life should be the safest place on a college campus for students to feel support and love no matter what they are going through.

Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic ( Greek ) Life 101-102 | Program #402

Fraternal Values | All Students

Your character counts. Character is imperative for fraternity/sorority members because of the values you promise to strive for upon affiliation. The way you treat people, react to setbacks, prioritize goals, and lead others all matter in your chapter, college career, and life. The goal is to develop integrity so you can inspire others to do the same. This will lead you to Authentic Success and a worthy fraternity/sorority legacy. This uplifting discussion encourages students to orient their moral compasses towards integrity-filled lives (i.e., chasing solid character, strong personal relationships and contentment.) This path to authentic success is contrasted to worldly successes such as excessive wealth, popularity, and prestige. Session participants will learn to develop character, hone virtues, set priorities, and gain a big-picture perspective. They are encouraged to listen, laugh, and think a little more each day. Most importantly, they are motivated to inspire integrity throughout their community and beyond! Corey Ciocchetti, University of Denver

The Five Great Hazing Myths ICC 125 | Program #403

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

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. Gentry McCreary, Dyad Strategies gentry@dyadstrategies.com

In this inspiring session, challenge yourself to identify/reconnect with your why (purpose) and to live it out now (passion) in order exude the vales of your organization.

Scholarship Smolarship: Fixing Broken Mindsets on Academic Programs to Create Success ICC 126 | Program #407

Academic Achievement | All Students

Year after year, chapters and councils promote GPAs and academics as a part of the fraternity/sorority experience despite research showing the new member process hurts new member grades and many members succeed scholastically despite their membership, not because of it. Often, cumbersome scholarship programs and requirements are forced on members even though they yield no results. There is no doubt scholarship matters to our campuses, who we recruit, and member success. Creating meaningful academic programs take time, dedication, and the right mindset. Gone are the days of arbitrary study hours and forced programs. Successful scholarship requires a personal focus. During this program, learn how to better mobilize your members through proven programs focused on individual results, better engagement, and transformed mindsets. Tim Mousseau, CAMPUSPEAK timothy.o.mousseau@gmail.com

Fraternity/sorority leaders have many resources available through chapter advisors, inter/national organization staff and volunteers, and on-campus resources. One of these resources could be developing a relationship with a fraternity/sorority professional. Developing open lines of communication and an effective working relationship with the fraternity/sorority advisor can often assist chapter and council leaders in advancing new initiatives and create new opportunities. This session will provide participants information on how to develop a strong working relationship with your campus fraternity/sorority advisor.

Chapter Management | Chapter Leaders

Nationals, Central Office, Headquarters. Whatever you call them, chances are your interactions with these staff members are not much more than your annual dues payment. But, did you know that your inter/national office could be the single-biggest resource your chapter is failing to use? Your inter/national office cares deeply about the experience of your membership as an undergraduate, and they want to help both you and your chapter succeed. In this session, you’ll learn from a peer who has seen the benefits of a strong relationship with members of his Central Office and has extensive experience communicating with and working with his arch chapter, board of directors, and educational foundation staff.

Motivating the Middle: Fighting Apathy in Your Chapter White River A-B | Program #418

Leadership Development | All Students

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 organization and the relationships they have there, but it’s one of several competing priorities. Bottomthird members are disengaged, potentially causing drama, or checked out. Unfortunately, most top-third leaders spend the majority of their time fighting the bottom-third by trying to make them attend events, care more deeply, and contribute more. Based on his best selling leadership book in use at hundreds of universities, T.J. will help you understand the concept that will set you free as a student leader.

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 culutre. 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.

Brain Train: What Science Says About Getting Creative 208 | Program #601

Leadership Development | All Students

In this session, participants will be guided through an interactive engagement that offers powerful insight on how to develop their individual creative capacity, by learning how to marshal the mind’s greatest asset for dynamic problem solving, improved collaboration, critical thinking and productive communication. These practical and transformational techniques will not only boost levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, but will equip participants with the tools necessary for leadership roles, career-building, stress/time management and improved mental health. Participants will gain a new awareness of how to unleash untapped possibilities by embracing diverse thinking, acquiring a knowledge of how to deploy creative intelligence and innovative capacity for personal/ professional success, and ultimately, discover how to become catalysts for social change.

Coordinating Conflict: Handling Tough Conversations 304-305 | Program #602

It’s Not About You, OUCH! 313 | Program #603

Intake/Membership Recruitment | Council Leaders

It stings, right? It’s not anyones fault, it just happened. Over time, the recruitment counselor role has lost its way. We’ve made it about guessing our affiliation, themes, and the reveal. When the focus is shifted back to the potenial new member, it requires a completely different type of support. A recruitment counselor trained to employ critical thinking, community values, and customer service is far more prepared for the mechanics and realities of primary recruitment than those armed with Klenex and perfectly choreographed chants. Join us to consider how an intentional selection and training of recruitment staff can help to build confident and skilled leaders ready to do the leg work required for the job. Harriette Baker, ION Inspired harriette.lauren@gmail.com

A Starting Point for Mental Health ICC 128 | Program #604

Health and Wellness | All Students

Mental health issues can cause a lot of confusion in chapters. It’s difficult to know how to deal with each situation. Rather than focus on what is wrong, it’s important for fraternity/sorority leaders to have the skills they need to address mental health. In this interactive session, participants will learn how to reduce stigma, expand mental health vocabulary, and create effective coping mechanisms to help themselves or another member who may be struggling. Participants will have an opportunity to work in small groups to share their own thoughts and experiences while gaining easy to use activities for their chapters. Ross Szabo, Human Power Project ross@humanpowerproject.com

Chapter Management | All Students

Conflict is a part of life and chapter management. Things often get out of hand by way of rumors, alliances, or online comments. Our ability to have the courage to deal with someone face to face may be one of the most important hallmarks of good leadership. Conflict is scary, but realationships take time and effort. Conversations surrounding conflict can feel forced and awkward and are hard to approach. In this session, particpants will hear about different types of conflict, where conflict really comes from, and learn valuable tools to manage it. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on how to best approach a conflict they are facing in a meaningful and effective way.

Are you cultivating membership or just wishing and praying that people will come to your organization? Stop thinking old school and learn about the new school ways of building your potential membership pool, connecting with your market, and getting the quality membership you have always wanted!

Empowered to Unplug 314 | Program #606

Health & Wellness | All Students

How did you feel the last time you looked at Facebook vs. Instagram vs. Pinterest? Ever tried not opening certain social media sites for an hour, a day, a week? Catch yourself scrolling walking to class, in bed, or even in the bathroom?! The reality is technology is woven into our daily routines, but a lot of us aren’t plugged into how much we are impacted by technology. Using research on the digital wellness of college students, this session will explore realities of our digital age, especially for fraternity/sorority members, and tools to take care of yourself and others no matter the place: online and on-campus. Attendees will gain awareness of their technology usage and be empowered to make strategic choices for when to unplug and power down, but also when to power up their digital presence to make a positive impact.

Four Councils, Two Communities: Lessons from Iowa’s & Indiana’s Shared Advising Models 302-303 | Program #609 Council Management |

Professionals Only

Many fraternity/sorority professionals serve as the primary advisor to one or more councils and their entire operation. The University of Iowa and Indiana University take a different approach to council management and advising. Through shared advising models, students are able to have more intentional contact with fraternity and sorority life staff members. Communication, collaboration, and community are built through these models and students are better equipped to use the wealth of knowledge found in their fraternity/sorority life office. We will spend time going over Iowa’s and Indiana’s shared advising models, specifically focusing on ways they differ in order to best serve our students, and the successes and challenges we have seen.

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

Do you find yourself looking down at your phone or walking around with your headphones in to avoid conversation with strangers? Do you want to get better at conversation? Learn how to survive as an introvert in a social world, how to get better at interacting with people when you need to, and build some necessary confidence and skills to be better at conversation.

Activism & Greek Life: What Are We Fighting for Now? 311 | Program #610

Leadership Development | NBGLC Attendees

At the core of Greek life’s inception is activism, advocacy, and the need for an affinity space due to the lack of inclusion. Through this engaging and interactive session, participants will explore a historical perspective of activism within the fraternal community. As participants dissect some of the key players in the nation’s prominent times of protests and unrest, they will strategize ways to be add value to society as it relates to advocating for equity, access, and justice. Students will be challenged to critically think about their role in social, economic, and political change while also having a renewed faith in their ability to effectively advocate for equality within their institution and the surrounding community, just as founders and prominent members of the organizations have.

Beneath all of the talk about sexual assault, abusive relationships, and bystander intervention, there are some simple truths that can equip you to better understand these confusing issues and make a difference in the lives of others. The bonus is this program also equips you to maximize your own social life and relationships as well. This power-packed program covers critical concepts on relationships, sex, and what it takes to create the social culture in your community that everyone wants. Students often comment that it is different from any other program they’ve experienced.

It asks the difficult questions that require a shifting of our thinking and actions! Steve Birdine, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc. sbirdine1@aol.com

Our Council: Building Intra-Council Relationships Within MGC 204-205 | Program #613

Council Management | Cultural Fraternity/Sorority Leaders

Often the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) will serve as the catch-all for chapters that don’t fit neatly within the Interfraternity, National Pan-Hellenic and Panhellenic Councils we host on campus. This creates an interesting convergence of groups which might feel totally disconnected from one another. What if I told you that it was your greatest strength? Let’s discuss how a MGC composed of APIDA, Latinx, Multicultural and other identity-based chapters can go beyond co-existing to thriving amongst one another. Keith Garcia, Northwestern University keith.garcia@northwestern.edu

I Hope You Like Feminist Rants, Because That’s Kind of Our Thing 312 | Program #614

Leadership Development | All Students

Empowerment. The word gets tossed around a lot, but what does it really mean? Together, we will explore the concept of empowerment vs. “empowertising” in popular culture and evaluate what authentic empowerment is. Participants will learn to recognize empowertising in their communities, strategies for identifying areas of values congruence, techniques for starting difficult conversations on their campuses, and how sorority women can work together to use values to authentically empower all women.

A Conversation About Hazing ICC 125 | Program #615

Health & Wellness | All Students

To solve the problem of hazing, it is crucial it is talked about openly. This program will demonstrate how to have these crucial conversations back on campus within organizations and among peers. Stories of real people who have suffered psychological harm will be shared, and bystander behavior will be addressed. This is not a blame and shame session. Participants will not be made to feel badly about themselves, their organizations or past behavior, but rather supported in taking actions that will change the hazing culture. This generation is well positioned to finally solve this centuries-old problem and treat their members with the dignity and respect they deserve. Tracy Maxwell, CAMPUSPEAK maxwell@campuspeak.com

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

For 3,136 days, Bonny wondered what happened to her. Then she said some powerful words aloud: “I am a sexual assault survivor.” In this powerful program, Bonny takes an in-depth look at issues surrounding assault, rape culture, and healing. She describes how her personal journey has involved understanding acquaintance-based assaults, PostTraumatic Stress Disorder, and sharing her experience to help others find the truth in their own. 1-in-4 college students will be survivors of sexual assault. It is not only an issue for the victim or the campus community, this is an issue for us all. Bonny strives to deliver a thought-provoking and interactive program which is intended to allow the space for audiences to discuss the uncomfortable and equip audience members with realistic intervention strategies. Bonny Shade, ForCollegeForLife bonnyshadebb@gmail.com

Leadership Development | NBGLC Attendees

The single most powerful voice in any NPHC organization is the national head. They decide if and how their respective organizations address issues like hazing, reclamation, membership retention and engagement, strengthening chapters, and developing members. Who these men and women are, how they come to power, and how they view the world are the most critical determining factors for the future of NPHC organizations. This presentation focuses on the process by which individuals ascend to the highest office within NPHC organizations and how their judgment and decision-making predicts the trajectory of these groups.

This session will breathe new life into the act of empowering others by challenging them to do better through a three-part strategy: challenging, motivating and appreciating your brothers and sisters. Attendees will leave this energizing talk with a new strategic plan for how to positively impact members of their organizations by boosting accountability, reprioritizing new member intake efforts, and increasing engagement in returning members. Note: giggling will occur.

Let’s Talk About Sex: How to Create Effective Conversations Around Consent White River A-B | Program #619

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

There is no doubt sexual assault prevention is an important topic for our communities. Where many campuses are taking efforts to create programs and conversations on this topic, we must face the reality of whether these conversations are effective. We need to talk about consent, but do we know how? Much of the current literature and programming on consent comes from outdated sources lacking relevance. As time has evolved, so must our efforts. Come learn how to move your consent based conversations into the 21st century with updated language, metrics to measure effectiveness, and tools for follow up. Our students want to talk about sex, let’s make sure to provide them the right tools to have not only healthy conversations but also healthy relationships.

The fight against sexual assault on college campuses has never been more important. Messaging leaning towards primary prevention make up the majority of the programming, and rightfully so. But, outside of on-campus resources, how are survivors being equipped with the tools and practices to care for themselves from the inside out? In this interactive workshop, Brittany Piper (a rape survivor, and trauma and wellness expert) will walk you through spiritual, mental, and body exercises designed to root out the toxins that assault leaves in its wake. Having battled with shame, guilt, depression, addiction, anxiety, and PTSD, Brittany understands the magnitude of maintaining a self-care routine during recovery. In addition, you will be given a self-care workbook, empowering you to support survivors in their healing. Brittany Piper, CAMPUSPEAK brittpiper.lcp@gmail.com

Often, fraternity/sorority life can feel like the Hunger Games, only with a little more glitter. Fraternity philanthropy events and recruitment become our battle royal, sacrificing our history and values to pursue meaningless trophies and tiered prestige. In our quest for superiority, we lose sight of our humble beginnings and inherent need of one another to be successful. That’s the plain truth: we need each other. Not just to survive, but to thrive! Women’s organizations were founded on feminist principles, and as we look at our current campus climates, it’s important we find ways to honor and build upon these ideals. In this presentation, we will look for ways that diversity and intersectionality contribute to a dynamic and successful Panhellenic Association. We will also share recommendations and best practices for creating a thriving Panhellenic community that builds every member organization and creates a supportive environment for each individual woman.

With the right planning and the right people, newly chartered groups can market themselves to be the best version of fraternity. This session allows for an interactive and inquisitive conversation for those groups struggling with their new identity. Building a fraternity can be hard.

Chapter Accreditation Processes are a great way to assess chapters and see what areas chapters do well in and what areas chapters need some help in. This session is designed to see the value in having a Chapter Accreditation Process and best practices for creating or updating one. Additionally, attendees will learn how to best utilize the results of the chapter accreditation process. Attendees will leave with the knowledge of the purpose of an accreditation process, steps to create an accreditation process, and how to use an accreditation process to help chapters and the community.

Is your community plagued by chapters who don’t get it and don’t care? Members joining for the wrong reasons? Apathy? Poor appreciation for ritual, service, scholarship? Well, tell them to either buy in or get out! Good leaders, and good chapters, are not able to succeed because they’re too busy cleaning up after those who just don’t get it. Or, these leaders are playing too much defense and not enough offense. Imagine how much we could accomplish if those who didn’t get it were part of the solution instead of always causing the problems. In this session, you’ll be challenged to embrace the best and get rid of the rest.

The 8 Mistakes You’re Making to Turn Off Potential Mentors 204-205 | Program #710

Leadership Development | Chapter Leaders

What is the real hype behind being a member who is “real”? Why are our national headquarters’ membership intake processes looked down upon as the “paper” process? Does being real make people a better member, or has our focus only been in the cut and not in the community? Through this presentation and discussion, participants will be able to interact and have conversations about being real vs. paper and what they believe is the most important and why. This session will also show you the importance of adhering to the policies and procedures of our organization.

Learning from mentors is vital to the success of college students. According to Gallup, students who had a mentor in college are nearly 3 times more likely to thrive and nearly 2400% more likely to feel engaged to their organization or college long term. However, amazing mentor relationships do not happen accidentally. They require attentiveness and care, and there are basic mistakes you might be making that turn off the very people who could change your life and future. In this session, we will talk about how to be a great mentee and how you can properly foster a mutually beneficial, lasting mentoring bond.

We will also discuss the hazing laws in your state and show hazing incidents that have been highlighted in the media from 2012-2017. You will learn to recognize hazing in your organization and hold members accountable, build confidence using bystander intervention techniques, and learn how to report hazing when you see it. We’ll also give you ways to eliminate hazing in your chapter by offering a large number of replacement activities that truly promote team building for organizational unity.

Though some organizations are rooted in LGBTQA+ inclusion, this does not mean they are the only spaces where LGBTQA+ students explore to make lifelong bonds. This session will focus on understanding of LGBTQA+ identities and issues impacting college students, analyzing fraternities and sororities as cisnormative and heteronormative entities, and ways to ally for all genders and sexualities in fraternities and sororities and in life.

Complexion for the Protection: NPHC at PWI’s 103-104 | Program #719

Council Management | NBGLC Attendees

At many universities, NPHC has lost sight of the vision in which they were founded. Particularly, at predominantly white institutions, NPHC organizations are not thought to add any value to a student’s experience. Often, black fraternity/sorority members feel they receive very minimal to no support from faculty/staff at PWI’s. In this session, you will learn how to regain the vision for your NPHC to have a positive impact on your campus. You will also learn how to establish connections with key resources and stakeholders on your campus to ensure your NPHC is successful. Attendees will also share experiences with NPHC to talk about best practices at different institutions. DeAnte’ Smith, Gifted Thoughts, LLC deante.smith@vanderbilt.edu

Where are you from?: Asian Desi Pacific Islander Americans on the Black & White Canvas 308 | Program #720

Health & Wellness | All Students

How many times have you heard that dreaded question, “Where are you from?” pointed at Asian Desi Pacific Islander Americans? Or maybe the second question, “Where are you really from?” If you are an Asian Desi Pacific Islander American, join us in this session as we will center on your voice and your story. To thrive in our fraternity/sorority organizations, we need to understand our story. We’re going to ask difficult questions: Who are we? How do we navigate the black and white canvas? How do we balance the needs of your community and the needs of the other marginalized communities? Where are we as a community? You will leave this session with a network and community to support you. Taeyin ChoGlueck, InterAction Initiative, Inc. taeyin@interactioninc.org

Retaking Our Story: Using Personal Narratives to Create Change on Sexual Assault 103-104 | Program #802

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

In graduate school, Tim planned to focus his work on leadership development, but due to his own experience as a survivor of sexual assault, his plans quickly shifted. With a mission to change how we view this topic, Tim has taken his MA work and applied it to the area of sexual violence prevention, using his research on storytelling to understand how personal narratives can create change. Through this program, explore research demonstrating the power of personal narrative in training on consent, building a sex positive culture, supporting survivors, and aiding in effective prevention. The stories told around sexual assault on campus and chapter levels have the potential to define how we handle and perceive this issue. It is time to retake our collective story.

Sticks & Stones: The Importance of Inclusive Language in Building Fraternity/Sorority Communities 203 | Program #803

Public Relations | All Students

Traditional organizations. Frats. Sorority girls. Made. Fraternity/sorority life has a lingo of its own, but does this language always support your organization’s values? Is it inclusive? Language is a double-edged sword that has the ability to empower or oppress, so how can we make sure our language elevates our entire fraternity/ sorority community and not just certain organizations? This session will discuss common, yet problematic, jargon that is often used within fraternity/sorority life and explore how participants can embrace and promote more inclusive language within their organizations and on their campuses.

Ally Networks: Changing Campus Culture on LGBTQA+ Issues 311 | Program #806

LGBTQA | Chapter Leaders

“I’m not gay, so it doesn’t bother me.” “We’ve never had someone that’s trans go through recruitment.” “I don’t see why we need to talk about LGBTQA+ people.” If you’ve ever had or allowed the following kinds of thoughts/ statements pass you by, what was your response? In many cases, fraternity/sorority members don’t engage, and that’s an issue. The development of an ally network is one way to increase visible change for LGBTQA+ members in chapters and councils. In this session, we’ll explore the benefits of an LGBTQA+ ally network in your fraternity/ sorority community, take time to understand current issues and ways to engage anti-LGBTQA+ acts, and consider supportive practices for current and future LGBTQA+ members.

Care to Act: The Time for Bystander Engagement 101-102 | Program #807

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

On an average Friday night at someone’s apartment, or at an officially sponsored student organization event, these situations have the potential to expose a campus community to risk, either by personal choice, or by the actions of others. If these situations arise, it’s imperative the campus community is prepared to protect one another. Individually, without exposure to specific techniques, one may be inclined to think “someone else will step in”, “it’s not my place”, or a “you do you” mentality. This reactive mentality increases significant risks and preventable harm. Risks exist, and how one manages them reflects their values and the strength of your community.

Seeing is Believing: Visualization in Goal Setting 304-305 | Program #809

Leadership Development | All Students

How often do we take the time to set goals but shortly forget about them? How do we seek to keep our goals at the forefront of our minds? Research has shown that mental practices, or visualization, are almost as important as true physical practice and doing both is more effective than doing either alone. Vision boards create an avenue for you to not only goal set in a creative and open manner, but they also provide a dynamic and eye catching reminder of the personal or organizational goal you seek to achieve. When we mix visualizing our goals while taking action to complete them, we are met with success! In this program, we will seek out how to identify a specific goal and begin to create a vision board to help make it a reality! Sydney Vandeveer, Alpha Xi Delta svandeveer@alphaxidelta.org

So, let’s have some honest dialogue and do something about it! When women gather, you are the most powerful body of change-makers in society. You hold all the chips. You hold all the power. That power you hold is called influence. Come and learn how to manifest that influence and power into something amazing. We will walk through some high-level ideas to help make your community what you want it to be rather than what it has always been.

Name Your Story: How to Talk Openly About Mental Health Health & Wellness | All Students

Students feel a lot of pressure these days. With all this stress, it’s no wonder students are saying they feel overwhelmed at a high rate. What is especially worrisome is that many are too afraid to seek help. Clearly it’s time for a change. This session provides an intentional space where students can learn about mental health in a safe way. We will review the signs of depression and anxiety and how to get help while also covering how to talk with friends, family members, and partners. Students will also learn what they can do if they or someone they know is feeling suicidal while being given resources for further support. In addition, self-care will be emphasized. We need to put on our own oxygen mask first before we can help others. By focusing on gratitude, mindfulness, and remembering how to play, this session will remind you how to prioritize your own well-being proactively. Lauren Cook, CAMPUSPEAK laurencook5@yahoo.com

Professionals Only

In many ways, fraternity/sorority members are public figures on their university campus, in their national chapters, and in the entire fraternal population. Their actions are amplified, for the good or bad, whether on campus, in the community, or online. In the midst of national politics, community protests, controversial campus events, and individual student struggles, social media moves within every part of their lives. With this reality, it is important to know the role of the fraternity/sorority professional to educate and empower students to be positive digital influencers. This session will ground digital leadership education using research and practice, including an award-winning dissertation and campus case studies.

The End of Always: Backward, & in Heels 311 | Program #901

Leadership Development | All Students

Do you ever find yourself walking the fine line between being perceived as bossy or the boss? Not always sure how to give critical feedback? While women aren’t always uniquely concerned with how constructive guidance will be received by others, studies show they’re more likely to overanalyze their words than male counterparts and soften the blow unnecessarily. This session will provide tips on how to lead with candor, while avoiding being overly empathetic, manipulative, or an outright jerk. Whether it’s a class project, or working with another council member or chapter president, leadership roles for women rarely come without being challenged. In this presentation, learn how to lead while facing those challenges head on - backward in heels, or as the leader wearing whatever shoes you darn well please.

Game Changer Moments: Preventing Sexual Violence through Bystander Intervention 304-305 | Program #902

Risk Reduction & Management | All Students

Have you heard an announcer refer to an athlete as a game changer? Someone who forces the other team to change their plan simply by being on the field or court. The goal of this session is to help students identify what actions they can take in real life situations that will prevent acts of sexual violence and deescalate crisis situations. Bystander Intervention is an easy idea to get behind during your mandatory Title IX training or your required Risk Management seminar, but having the confidence to actualize those concepts at 2 a.m. on a Friday night is a much harder thing. After participating in this session, students will be able to stand up with confidence and say the room they are in is safer because they are in it and change the game to prevent behaviors like sexual violence, bullying, and alcohol abuse from happening.

What’s Your Story?: The Power of a Narrative White River C-D | Program #906 Public Relations | All Students

Does your fraternity/sorority community (or chapter) have a single, compelling, emotional story they’re sharing with nonGreeks? Probably not. Most chapters don’t. Most councils don’t. Most communities don’t. Most inter/national organizations (or for that matter umbrella groups don’t). In the absence of a compelling story, a story will be written for us, and we won’t be the hero. The moment a community decides upon a story, or a marketing narrative, suddenly they have a rally cry. A marketing narrative can create a self-fulfilling prophecy. We live up to the stories we tell about ourselves. Marketing can be aspirational, not just informational. This session includes great narrative examples as well as tactics to find your narrative.

More Than a Feeling: Leading with Empathy 103-104 | Program #908

Health & Wellness | All Students

Ever been frustrated with members who don’t pay dues? Irritated with a sibling 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 instead? Or missing a meeting because an abusive partner wouldn’t let them leave? Or leaving the chapter because of mental health challenges? Every one of our siblings is a person with real life challenges and struggles—things we can 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.

The Art of Vulnerable Leadership 204-205 | Program #909

Leadership Development | Chapter Leaders

It often takes a degree of vulnerability to stand up against siblings and peers to make good decisions amidst bad circumstances. Yet, recent events have shown us that the decisions to be vulnerable as a leader are frequently overlooked, allowing poor group decisions to be made and ultimately placing a life at stake. Thus, two questions arise. Are our poor decisions derived from fear of being vulnerable to do right or the fear of vulnerability from failure? Conversely, is belonging fitting in or is belonging standing out? Inspired by the book, Daring Greatly, this session calls into question the degree that vulnerability plays a part in the concept of group think. This session will explore how we as fraternity/sorority members can strive to stand out among the crowd through the art of vulnerable leadership rather than fearing failure and staying part of the status quo.

This is motivation for years to come!” But, is there a factual basis for those arguments? We’ll look at actual outcomes like motivation, involvement, and engagement, and ask tough questions for purposes of evaluation.

Unfortunately, many fraternity/sorority members forget the meaningful lessons taught during these initiatory rites, including the promises they make to live these ideals and oaths in their daily lives. Values-based leadership can make or break your organization, and as a fraternity/sorority member, these values are eloquently demonstrated before you and your siblings through your ritual. This session will push you to dig deeper into your ritual, as well as challenge you to incorporate its message into the daily functions of your chapter. You will gain practical knowledge to not only improve your ceremonies, but also to further ritual education within your chapter and further instill your chapter’s values within your membership.

Are We Woke, yet: School Daze & Burning Sands 30 Years & Counting White River A-B | Program #918 Fraternal Values | NBGLC Attendees

This year celebrates the 30th anniversary of the film School Daze. Even though it was an entirely new experience for the big screen, the storyline was very familiar and relevant to the Black community. Set in the late 80s/90s, amongst the post-Civil Rights generation, Lee confronted concepts like “Black nationalism” and “Black Pride” through the lens of Black college life, inclusive of the extraordinary campus fraternity culture. Thirty years later, Burning Sands is sparking conversation on the subgenre of TV dramas and films about collegiate fraternities. Burning Sands, slightly unique from School Daze, sparked controversy with viewers as it depicted the brutal, harsh, and violent aspects of initiation rituals in Black Fraternalism. Tish will draw the parallels between the two films and draw distinctive perspectives from the attendees on the relevance of the comparisons between the two works to address topics of social justice, innercultural competence, history, hazing, and hell night.

Flourish as a Black Student Leader: When failure, fear and financialaid is a harsh reality! ICC 126 | Program #919

Leadership Development | NBGLC Attendees

Freedom, finances and new friends can make or break you in college. Many students are well aware college is an opportunity of a lifetime, but they often lack the guidance, family support or discipline to be successful. Quinn Conyers is here to give first time college students a heads-up as someone who has been in their shoes not once, but twice. She presents them with a life-changing message that will help them maximize their college experience as Black Student Leaders. Quinn Conyers, CAMPUSPEAK quinnmconyers@gmail.com

WHO’s WHO?

It takes a team of our board of directors, 8 full-time staff members, volunteers, and committees to continue providing top-notch educational experiences and resources like AFLV Central, AFLV West, the Awards & Assessment process, Connections, AFLV sessions of The LeaderShape Institute®, The Journey, The Source, and much more.
