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

Conference Dress Badge attire is appropriate for all sessions of the conference. The Saturday evening banquet attire is a coat and tie for men and semi-formal dress for women. Daily Announcements All updates on conference activities will be announced in the first general session each day. If you wish to make a general announcement, the deadline is 12:00 noon the previous day. Announcements should be submitted in writing to the conference headquarters office in the Grand Registration Area. Emergencies & Medical Assistance The Emergency Information Card completed by each registrant will be on file with the WFL/NCGLC Conference Staff should the need arise. Please report all injuries and illnesses to the hotel security department through the hotel operator, as well as contacting a senior conference staff member. Evaluations Evaluations will be sent electronically after the conference. Your input is important to us. Please take the time to complete the evaluation honestly as your feedback will help to improve future conferences. Hotel Information Check In and Check Out Check In time is at 3:00 pm.

conference facts Hotel Security It is also important that you know that during these times of heightened security, the hotel is doing everything it can to insure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Should an emergency arise, please dial the operator from any house phone. This goes directly to the hotel Security Department who will dispatch the appropriate people to the scene. Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff or the WFL/NCGLC conference headquarters office located in the Grand Registration area for lost and found items. Meals The undergraduate conference registration includes the Friday Affiliation Luncheon, Saturday’s lunch and the Saturday Banquet, and Sunday Continental Breakfast. The professional registration fee includes the Saturday’s Professionals’ Lunch in place of the Student Luncheons. Your nametag will be your admission to all meals. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional meal tickets can be purchased from the conference headquarters. Meeting Locations All meeting rooms are within Hilton Orange County/Costa Mesa. Please refer to the schedule and cross reference the floor diagrams in the back of this book to find your meeting room. Nametags Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all conference events: education sessions, general sessions, meals, and all special sessions. If you lose your nametag you will be charged a $20 replacement fee. Promptness Please arrive to the educational sessions early or when the session is scheduled to begin. This will help the presenter and the conference staff make the most of everyone’s time. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Seating capacity is limited which is another reason to plan ahead and arrive early! Parking Parking arrangements are to be made individually with the hotel. The special parking rate for 2011 conference attendees is $8 for self and $28 for valet per car per day with in and out privileges. If you have questions, contact the hotel front desk. Questions Questions should be directed to any member of the Conference Committee. They are easily identified by their nametags. Quiet Hours No excessive noise should be heard in the hotel hallways at any time. It is important to respect the privacy of all hotel guests, especially those who are not involved with our conference. Violators will be reported to hotel security as well as the WFL/NCGLC Conference Staff. Registration Delegates should register with the hotel BEFORE registering with WFL/NCGLC. Conference registration is located in the Grand Registration area. All participants in WFL/NCGLC educational sessions must be registered for the conference and must wear their nametag at all times.

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

The Gathering June 5-8, 2011
Mohican Resort & Conference Center Between Columbus & Cleveland, OH We intend to bring about compelling questions, powerful thinking, and revolutionary action to transform and bring relevance to the fraternal movement. We plan to lead and chart an intentional course that inspires all of us to act entrepreneurial in thought, word, & deed. We call upon fraternities and sororities to become the most trusted organizations. This isn’t a think tank. It’s an action tank.

pre-conference programs Social Excellence, presented by PhiredUp Productions PhiredUp Productions Thursday 1:00-5:00 pm Newport Beach 1
Phired Up teaches Social Excellence through a progression of lessons that deepen the learning each step of the way. Starting with a redefinition of the word, “social,” Phired Up challenges conventional thinking and brings us back to our human nature as social beings. From there you will learn how Social Excellence as a lifestyle can transform you and your organizations, you will learn a magic trick called “The Screw” which opens doors to new relationships, and you will learn about first impressions, exchanging contact information, social etiquette, listening, remembering names, and all the basic skills of a social master. Finally, you learn about “The Four Pillars” of Social Excellence, Curiosity, Generosity, Authenticity, and Vulnerability. Open to all undergraduates.

RESPONSE ABILITY Level 1 Certification Mike Dillbeck Sponsored by Pi Beta Phi Fraternity Thursday 1:00-5:00 pm Newport Beach 3
Most of the problems in the fraternity/sorority community involve bystanders—those who see or know about something “wrong” and do nothing, say nothing. This is a Level I Certification Program, and each person who completes this program will receive an expanded facilitator’s guide and certificate. Level I is the basic level and certifies someone to thoroughly facilitate the program to individual chapters, or a group of chapters, on their campus, or in their fraternity/sorority. This program is open to both students and advisors.

keynote speakers If Not Us, Then Who? Let’s Rise! Jessica Pettitt Friday, 9:00 - 10:30 am WARNING: There will be no hand holding, silver spoons, or excuses permitted during this keynote. As a member of the fraternity and sorority community, Jessica has decided to claim her responsibility and utilize her elite status to actually dismantle oppression and leave the world a better place.
Chasing Authentic Success Corey Ciocchetti Thursday, 7:30 - 9:00 pm What are you shooting for? A big, impressive career? A big paycheck? A dose of fame and notoriety? Like a greyhound, endlessly running, you can spend your life chasing artificial rabbits and going around in circles. Or, you can make some decisions that will set you on a path to true happiness in your career and in your life.
Please join her in a highly motivated yet reality based social justice based action oriented message where no excuses or limitations are needed. If the fraternal movement is truly about leadership, moral development, and service—then we have a lot of catching up to do. Imagine a world not of the t-shirt committees and P-C police, but of service that actually means something. If not us, then who?
In this very personal leadership keynote, Corey challenges the audience to identify the “real rabbits” that potentially lie in their future. You can achieve amazing things in your life, but true happiness is best found by keeping things like relationships, character and contentment in mind along the way.

keynote speakers Buy In or Get Out David Stollman Saturday, 9:00- 10:30 am Too often, good leaders and good chapters are not able to succeed because they are too busy cleaning up after the ones that don’t get it. Fixing their problems or fighting their negative image. Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem? David will say what you wish you could. Let him confront them in his funny, interactive and moving style. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of Fraternity and Sorority Life – friendship, service, leadership and scholarship. He will challenge your members to embrace the best and get rid of the rest. It will touch on topics that range across all major issues facing today’s members.
The Apathy Myth T.J. Sullivan Sunday, 9:00 - 10:30 Student leaders say that member apathy and lack of motivation are the issues that plague them the most. How can they get their fellow students engaged How can they get their officers motivated? Unfortunately, too many respond to the apathy challenge with fines, mandatory attendance requirements and negativity. These student leaders hit a wall, alienate their members and suffer from frustration and burnout. There is a better way. What if you were told that what you think is apathy is actually the result of poor leadership that is unresponsive to the needs of the students in your organization? Would you open your mind to the possibility that there are ways to motivate your group’s members that don’t require making every event mandatory? Student leaders have the power to eliminate apathy and T.J. Sullivan has some answers to the most common leadership frustrations.

special event speakers Ignite Fraternity Pacific Ballroom Saturday, 1:45-2:45 The concept is simple. Ignite is a series of short talks, called SPARKS, with a twist.

Speakers will have five minutes and 20 slides, with each slide automatically advancing every 15 seconds to present their SPARK. SPARKS can address the audience on any aspect of fraternity - could be ritual, could be recruitment, could be anything. The content of each SPARK is the opinion of the SPARK. Consider Ignite to be an open forum for ideas to be exchanged, and stick around at the end of the SPARKS to ask questions, or challenge ideas. Ignite is most successful with interaction!

featured speakers RESPONSE ABILITY Mike Dilbeck
Friday 2:00 - 3:00 pm Catalina 2 Mike directly addresses so-called “bystander behavior” – those times when a person observes something, recognizes it to be problematic, but fails to intervene in a constructive way. Mike is helping students from all walks of campus life understand how seizing upon an opportunity to act can dramatically change their campus community. In this challenging keynote, Mike reveals the barriers many of us feel when we consider whether or not to act. Using interactive methods, Mike gives audience members the skills and framework upon which to act when they see unhealthy or negative behavior among their peers, in their classes and on their campus.
Making Relationships Matter David Coleman
Friday 2:00 - 3:00 pm Catalina 1 Tired of being alone on campus among hundreds or thousands of students? Sick of hearing “You’re so nice or like a brother or sister to me?” Still wondering how the best relationship “ever” ended in a bad break up? Reporting on-line to be “in a relationship” is a far cry from actually being in one! A successful relationship improves your self-esteem and makes you better at everything you do, David Coleman, The Dating Doctor, help you navigate the treacherous waters of dating, sex, attraction, love and “status”. In a humorous, yet challenging way, David will cover: Why pick-up lines fail, The ABC’s of Initial Interest, how to tell if someone is interested in you, how to be a more passionate lover and how to fill your social calendar!

SNAFU-Situation Normal: All Fouled Up! Mark Hartley
Friday 2:00 - 3:00 pm Fountain Terrace Greek Life’s commitment to scholarship is definitely a SNAFU! It’s time for Greek communities to realize that emphasis on academic achievement is not only congruent with our founding values; it’s also an incredible route to positive image building!
Be prepared to be dared, entertained, double-dared, and challenged to be the best version of yourself in an effort to attract a higher quantity of higher quality members to the greater fraternity/sorority movement. The message behind this session is the key to Greeks becoming relevant again in the eyes of today’s students, administrators, parents and communities. As soon as you walk in the door...Be Social. Be Excellent.
One of the best ways to fight the negative stereotypes that hold us back is to respond with a strong, visible and real commitment to improved academic performance. If out chapters and communities are truly excellent, it’s time to change the myth that Greeks and Grades don’t mix. By the time Mark’s presentation is over, SNAFU will stand for Situation Normal: All FIXED Up!

featured speakers Reel Greek: Where Hollywood Boulevard Meets Greek Row Brian Johnson
Saturday 1:45 - 2:45 Pacific 1 Most fraternities and sororities were founded upon the exemplary principles of scholarship and achievement, service, and philanthropy; yet today, popular perception of Greeks is anything but! Brian’s keynote uses film clips from popular films like Old School, Animal House, Stomp the Yard and College (and many others) to explore the influence of Hollywood on how we view ourselves as members of the Greek community and how we interact within our community. You will be challenged to question what it really means to live in community with others, and to think critically about counteracting the negative public perceptions and promoting the true ideals of these organizations.
Ringing the Doorbell: Saner, Healthier Sex in College Cindy Pierce
Saturday 1:45 - 2:45 Catalina 2 There is not greater emotional minefield for young people than the intimidating world of sex. Her use of social research and anecdotes demystify things like the impact of internet porn, the much lamented imbalance between the sex drives of men and women, the role of alcohol in decision-making and the truly elusive nature of the female orgasm. Cindy will help put sex in a healthy context. Students will walk away with safer, saner expectations around sex. Whether she’s talking to a group of women struggling with perceived sexual norms, or playing to a room packed with rowdy football players, Cindy is all about shaking people out of their comfort zones.

education sessions
ed sessions BLOCK ONE THURSDAY, 9:15 - 10:15 PM Diversity According to South Park and Family Guy Balboa Bay 1 South Park and Family Guy are perfect tools for Matt to use to illustrate Leadership in Action and how understanding diversity drives not only how we feel about ourselves, but how we interact with members of the groups we intend to lead. Fraternal Leaders will not only view clips from these programs, but will understand how the underlying hidden messages in these programs are driving behavior in our culture. Everyone will leave with new, educated, visions of how to not only interpret what they are seeing on TV, but how to utilize the ideas to creatively inspire others. Matt Glowacki, Coleman Productions
Where is your line? Balboa Bay 2 This program is a screening of “The Line”, followed by a discussion with filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman. “The Line” is a documentary about a young woman - the filmmaker - who is raped, but her story isn’t cut and dry. Schwartzman confronts her attacker, recording the conversation with a hidden camera. The film explores the tangle of political and cultural questions that surround issues of sex and consent. “The Line” is the jumping off point for an in-depth conversation about the perceived “grey area” in sexual assault, and the myth of the “perfect victim.” During the course of the workshop, students will analyze the complicated and ambivalent ways sexual assault is often framed and understood in our culture. With a sex-positive approach, participants will discuss how to facilitate events and conversations on campus around sexual health and safety, pleasure and consent, and the legal rights and politics surrounding gender violence. Nancy Schwartzman, Media Education Foundation
40 Ways to Detect Hazing and 20 things we can do to change a hazing culture Catalina 1 Detecting hazing is much simpler than hazers would have you believe. We will review hazing practices ranging from subtle to crazo, discuss cultural norms in hazing chapters such as the unofficial executive council, and work on ways to change a hazing culture and confront those who believe in hazing. If you believe in hazing or that it can exist undetected, this session will challenge your beliefs. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc.
Who Is Taking Care of You? Catalina 2 As a student leader, you give and give. A critical question to ask is “Who is taking care of you?” The session will engage participants in a conversation about some common pitfalls for student leaders – stress, anxiety, unrealistic expectations and poor selfcare/wellness – and how to combat them through relationships with others. Mandy Womack, University of San Diego
Quality over Quantity: The Worlds Greatest Excuse Emerald Bay 1 We say Quality over Quantity... but do we mean it? Or do we mean we really hope the few members we have are quality? Many times we are scared by the thought that “recruiting” means lowering our standards. That by telling more people about the great story which is your fraternal organization you somehow water it down. No, you water down your organization by bringing in people who don’t believe in your cause, who won’t work hard, and don’t meet your criteria. So lets talk about casting a bigger net, moving outside of our comfort zone and finding more people who are qualified and interested in our organization. We will talk strategies on how to do this, and more importantly how to get your members and alumni to also agree. The more people we get interested, then we pick the best from that group, and our chapter continues to grow. Sam Centellas, OutSight Consulting

Just because we do things differently doesn’t mean we can’t work together. In this interactive workshop, learn effective techniques to get all of your councils to work together and gain a better understanding of one another. Caitlin Roberts, California State University, Long Beach
Visionary Leadership for Chapter and Council Leaders Emerald Bay 3 Do you know where your chapter is headed? Is your chapter spinning its wheels? Sliding backwards?

Participants will create the short and long term vision for the chapter. Information on how to use the vision to create a strategic plan will also be shared Jamison Keller, California State University, Northridge Elva Pena, California State University, Northridge
Money, Money, Money... MONEY! Fountain Terrace Do you find that you can’t accomplish what you wish you could in your chapter simply because of a lack of funds? Would earning 5% of what your chapter members spend on textbooks help? We’ll show you how. And, we’ll also show you how you can collect what your members owe you more effectively. How to collect what alumni owe in dues. How to accomplish more with less money. And, even how to get others to pay for your success!
From Battlemind To Campus Grind! Our Military Are Coming Home...Are You Ready? Huntington Beach 1&2 Under the new GI Bill, many young men and women who have defended our freedom so valiantly all over the world will be returning home and heading straight to college. They’ll want to be as involved as any other student, but they bring with them a diverse and unique set of circumstances and experiences. They may be a bit older, facing PTSD, infidelity issues, physical and mental wounds, crowd trust issues...the list is endless. Are you ready to recruit them and welcome them into your chapter? Will you recruit them just like any other student? Battlemind is a constant state of high alert and readiness they have lived under. How will this transfer when they enroll on your campus? David Coleman has traveled the world talking to our Military and also canvassed the U.S. educating our Greek leaders. He will use this rare dual insight to provide the best advice he can on how to prepare yourself, your chapter and your campus to form a partnership with our returning Service Members that will improve your campus climate and the lives of all involved. David Coleman, Coleman Productions, Inc.

ed sessions BLOCK ONE (cont.) THURSDAY, 9:15 - 10:15 PM Can I See You In My Office: Working Collaboratively with your Fraternity/ Sorority Advisor Laguna Beach 2 Student leaders within the fraternity/sorority community have opportunities to work with a wide variety of partners, and one of the most important of those is the campus fraternity/sorority advisor. In this session, representatives of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors will provide insight to student leaders on how to create a positive and more effective relationship with their campus fraternity/ sorority advisor. He/she is not the enemy - he/she is your greatest ally - come find out why! Johanne Jensen, University of Arizona
The Courage to Challenge: Learning the Art of Positive Confrontation Laguna Beach 3 We are our brothers’ and sisters’ keeper. One of the most vital responsibilities of a leader of a values-based organization is challenging those who are not living up to our standards and expectations. This includes addressing inappropriate behavior or challenging those who inadequately perform their jobs. Yet because of a fear of conflict, too often leaders either fail to confront, or do so inappropriately, with negative consequences. In this workshop, you will discover how leaders can use conflict as an opportunity for positive change and growth. You will learn to master a step-by-step approach for tackling difficult situations that threaten your organization’s integrity and for addressing destructive behaviors that endanger the welfare of your members or the organization. You will identify and assess your own confrontation style(s), find out some common mistakes to avoid, learn tips for more effective interventions, and practice effective communication techniques through role-playing.
Beyond Alcohol: The Other Drug Category Newport Beach 2 Students, by and large, have grown deaf to alcohol awareness programs. They’ve been shocked, calculated blood alcohol content, and warned about sexual predators. Yet, alcohol remains the number one abused drug among college students and hundreds face negative consequences each year due to intoxication. The growing abuse non-medical prescription drugs remains highlighted through media and celebrity tragedies. Misperceptions and myths about alcohol use and abuse persist. This relevant and effective program takes into account the arrival of energy drinks as mixers, prescription drug interactions, and the wide availability of drugs like Rohypnol, the “date rape” drug. Students, advisors, and volunteers can find The Right Mix in this alcohol/other drug program, resetting perceptions and clarifying myths regarding the body’s reaction to alcohol and drugs. Students are enabled to make smarter decisions and healthier choices. Campus and organization leaders will learn valuable information to combat abuse and negative related consequences.

ed sessions Are We Really Still Talking About Risk Management? Newport Beach 3 While risk management might appear to be an old topic, it continues to be a major issue for student organizations as they continue to face risks with their programs, activities, and the behaviors of some of their members. This program reviews the evolution of risk management, who is at risk and how it can be minimized. The message is as much about responsibility as it is about liability and emphasizes how to keep everyone safe. Rick Barnes, CAMPUSPEAK
BLOCK TWO FRIDAY, 10:45 - 11:45 AM True Colors- Discover Your Unique Gifts and Talents Balboa Bay 1 Have you ever been puzzled about why members in your chapter act the way they do? Did a certain member get on the one last nerve you had left? Well “True Colors” an informal personality scale survey will provide the opportunity for you to demonstrate a better understanding of self and people (e.g., colleagues, supervisors, employees) you work with. PLEASE be prepared to show your “True Colors” in an interactive and friendly setting. Caitlyn Zang, San Diego State University
Peer Conduct Boards - Developing An Accountability System That Works Balboa Bay 2 When the phone call comes in reporting a problem, what do you do? A student-led conduct board is one of the most effective ways to address concerns in a Fraternity and Sorority Community. This session will look at the philosophy behind student-led boards and the developmental model used at USD.
Leadership in Action can take on many forms, but the best Greek Leaders inspire and motivate their group by being the example of what people want for themselves. When asked, “What do you most want in life?” The overwhelming majority always replies, “To Be Happy.” The driving force behind most motivation is the Pursuit of Happiness. This session will explain what happiness actually is, and how to realize it for you. Attending leaders will learn how to integrate the foundations happiness into making a positive impact on student life at their campuses. Matt Glowacki, Coleman Productions
Been There! Dumped That! Are You “All That?” Catalina 1 Tired of feeling lonely or alone on a campus with hundreds, even thousands of students? Wondering how you became a “loser magnet?” Sick of hearing that you’re a “nice guy...great gal...or like a brother or sister to me?” Still wondering why you got dumped from a seemingly wonderful relationship or how you ended up breaking up with someone you once cared for and with whom you envisioned a bright future? Reporting “on-line” to be “in a relationship” is a far cry from actually being in one. It is proven that a satisfying, successful relationship improves your selfconcept and makes you a bit better at everything you do, so let David Coleman, The Dating Doctor, help you navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of dating, sex, attraction, love and relating. In a humorous, yet challenging way, David will show you how to form, mend and sustain healthy relationships. He’ll cover: Who controls relationships and why, why pick-up lines fail, subtle signs we exhibit when romantically interested in another, profound differences between men and women, The ABC’s of Initial Interest, the five characteristics of healthy relationships, the three types of love, breaking up, long-distance relationships, interchapter dating and more.

ed sessions BLOCK TWO (cont.) FRIDAY, 10:45 - 11:45 AM Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities Catalina 2 We believe that good recruitment happens 365 days a year in a very consistent and strategic way. Recruitment happens everyday regardless of whether chapters give bids one time a year or all year long. Recruitment happens everyday regardless if chapters only participate in a formal recruitment process or do Continuous Recruitment both semesters. Recruitment is everyone’s responsibility - panhellenic officers and chapters. Dynamic Recruitment is the process we use to help sorority women conceptualize what good year round recruitment is. It centers around a Names List – a list of every non-Greek woman they know and builds based on how we add more names to the list (make new friends) and take names off the list (turn our friends into members). This session is centered around teaching this process to the sorority women with examples, ideas, and resources – we tell them exactly what they need to do to grow their Panhellenic COMMUNITY or individual CHAPTER in quantity and/ or quality – year-round. Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions

She is also a popular choice for women’s conferences, Panhellenic education and awareness events, new student orientation and current ideas and issues series. “This is my time to encourage and help women feel great about themselves no matter what they weigh or look like,” she said. “Women have surrendered to diets and insane eating habits to live up to social stereotypes for too long. It’s time that all women felt beautiful in their own skin.” Stacy Nadeau, CAMPUSPEAK
Connecting “Majorities” to the Multicultural Community Catalina 1 Around the country colleges and universities are trying to “figure out” this phenomenon we call diversity. Most institutions state that “diversity is everyone’s responsibility,” which sounds good, but is everyone prepared for the challenges that such work brings? Sorority and fraternity leaders (students and professionals) are being asked to increase diversity within their ranks. Traditionally, however, engaging with diversity and inclusion often means focusing on the “minority,” with little to no attention paid to the predominant groups and the opportunities they have to create change. This session is meant for majorities who desire to move beyond surface sensitivity to building authentic relationships and critical engagement with diversity issues. We will emphasize self awareness, understanding our own identities, and methods to practice real multicultural inclusion-including those who are White, male, heterosexual, American, affluent, and Christian. All are diverse and all are welcome! Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK

“We have the good fortune to know everyday of our lives that sisterhood is concretely possible, that sisterhood is still powerful”, writes women’s studies scholar bell hooks. As sorority women we might be the first to agree with this statement however are we truly living up to the ideal of sisterhood and leadership our founders envisioned for our organizations? This session will provide an open and safe space for sorority women to reflect on specific situations in which they were made to feel unloved by fellow Greek women, or perhaps made other Greek women feel unloved. Together we will design action steps for how to serve as compassionate leaders and bring about authentic sisterhood in our organizations and among all Greek women.

Pacific 1 Invest 3.5 hours and we GUARANTEE the plan you leave with will increase your system recruitment numbers by 10%. If you don’t get the results we promise by doing what we teach, we’ll pay for one AFLV registration next year per council. Sound good? Fraternity council officers might manage a formal recruitment process well, and even do some great advertising beforehand. But that is like the person that can cram for finals really well. No matter how hard they work, they can never achieving their true potential. True success comes from the council encouraging and coordinating their own efforts with that of chapters who are effectively doing their job all year long. This plan is more than sales skills and event ideas. It involves a sophisticated social media and branding campaign, effective compilation and use of market research, ongoing education initiatives and more. Tom Healy, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc.

ed sessions BLOCK SIX (cont.) SATURDAY, 3:00 - 4:00 PM Open Up the Lines of Communication: Working with Your Campus Greek Advisor Emerald Bay 1 Students involved in the Multi-Cultural fraternal movement have opportunities to work with a wide variety of campus partners. This session will focus on how to develop one of the most important relationships....with the Greek Advisor. Often times leaders in Multi-Cultural organizations feel as though the campus Greek Advisor only helps Panhellenic and IFC organizations and is not familiar with cultural fraternities or sororities and therefore cannot help. In this session participants will gain insight on how to create a positive and more effective relationship with their Greek Advisor. He/she is not the enemy - he/she is your greatest ally - come find out why! Blake Balajadia, San Jose State University
Overcoming Chapter Over Programming Emerald Bay 2 Many Black, Latino, Asian, and culturally based Greeks struggle with overprogramming. Chapters find it hard to find a healthy balance between chapter and member requirements, university expectations and local/regional responsibilities. Many organizations expect members be everywhere at everything representing the organization and when members fall short the chapter is disappointed. Participants during this session will explore strategies to manage overprogramming through collaboration, good planning and setting realistic expectations. Javier Blanco, National Vice President , Delta Sigma Chi Co-Ed Fraternity
DUI: A Powerful Lesson Fountain Terrace Just months from graduation, Mark and four of his fraternity brothers headed to Florida on spring break. Each night, one brother would serve as the designated driver. On the final night, they decided that the least drunk among them would drive home, and Mark ended up with the keys. The next morning three of the men were dead, and Mark lay in the hospital critically injured and facing three felony counts of manslaughter. In his acclaimed program, DUI: A Powerful Lesson©, Mark shares the bad decisions that changed his life and ended the lives of his friends. This is a program you will never forget. Mark Sterner, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc.
The Broken Pillar- Reclaiming our Core Value of Service to Others Laguna Beach 1 In this session students will work to embrace one of the most important pillars of being Greek. Lara Klinkner, Arizona State University
Expectation Hangovers: Treatment and Prevention Laguna Beach 2 Hassler leads a discussion about why decisions are hard to make and shares her “Cheesecake Factory” theory. In a gentle and often humorous way, she advises students about things to expect after graduation like culture shock, an adjustment to independent life, heartbreak, competition and unavoidable forks in the road. Her message to students is that it is 100% okay (and quite normal) to NOT know what you want to do with your life! She will dispel myths like “your first job has to be perfect and dictates the career path you will stay on.” Student will feel relieved of some of the pressure that fuels expectation hangovers and armed with real world tips and tools to prepare them for life post-graduation. They will also learn that life is a journey of answering the questions of “who am I, what do I want and how do I get it?” and it’s not a test they can study for. Christine Hassler, CAMPUSPEAK

As Facebook says, “its complicated.” Join in on a frank, humorous, and up front facilitated conversation on the difference between sex (anatomy/biology), gender (roles, identity, expression, and perception), and sexual identity (straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, asexual, etc). Let’s talk about the qualifications and legal precedent in various states as well as organizational and campus non-discrimination policies’ impact on recruitment and membership standards. Let’s have a conversation so we aren’t caught off-guard when this topic presents itself. We may not develop answers on this call, but you will be able to engaged and make informed decisions. Jessica Pettitt, I am... Social Justice
Drinking, Drugs and DNA Newport Beach 1 Nationally acclaimed, motivational speaker Claire Berger breaks the silence of one of the most personally painful journeys a college student makes and never discusses - family addiction. From compassionate ways to help friends, neighbors and classmates who struggle with family addiction and blasts of information to help students dispel their own fears and misconceptions surrounding alcoholism and addiction, audience members gain a deeper understanding of their role in a friend or family member’s recovery. Unhealthy fear is replaced with healthy respect and understanding. Claire Berger, The College Agency
By 2050, not only have experts predicted that 50% of the entire US population will be diverse, but in the next five to ten years, there’s also a strong possibility that many workplaces throughout the country will be filled with four different generations of people. As leaders who desire to succeed in the 21st Century, not only is it essential that we possess strong people and cultural competence skills, but it’s extremely important that we understand how to effectively lead a diverse team of people in a diverse working environment. In this powerful and highly energized presentation, not only does Joshua define diversity and talk about the importance of being able to lead a diverse group of people in a diverse world, but he also offers insightful words of wisdom on how leaders can effectively lead a diverse group of people and avoid the negative experiences that impact leaders and organizations because of ineffective leadership strategies of a diverse team. Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY
When is Enough Enough? Image is Everything. Newport Beach 3 As soon as the presentation starts, you know you’re in for something special. Not your average “pick me up”, the program brings a sense of humor and honest observations about the fraternity and sorority community to the forefront of your mind. This workshop will challenge the thoughts and actions of students everywhere. Please note this workshop is not for the faint of heart, because sometimes the truth isn’t pretty.

ed sessions BLOCK SIX (cont.) SATURDAY, 3:00 - 4:00 PM Take Action: Tools for Combating Hazing (2 part session) Emerald Bay 3
Forming “One Heartbeat” Within Your Chapter Catalina 1 What makes one fraternity or sorority wildly successful while another struggles? What unites one chapter, while another seems splintered? Quite simply, it is the attitude, preparation and effort of those involved. A chapter that shares One Heartbeat, understands that everyone has equal value and they work selflessly to provide the best overall experience possible. Conflict is replaced by cooperation. Doubt is replaced by certainty. Praise yields to humility. This session will foster a sense or ownership and belonging and the participants will exit with a strategy to employ to change the climate on their campus by transforming their chapter into one where goals and expectations are exceeded in an environment where no one cares who gets the credit. If you choose to attend this session, please check your ego at the door.
You see obvious signs of hazing in your chapter or your community, but what do you do? Do you intervene? Blow the whistle? Turn in your badge? If you feel stuck, alone or overwhelmed with where to start and what to do, this session is for you. Connect with other anti-hazing advocates who are in the same situation. Hear about one student’s journey to transform their community. Learn and apply a practical framework for creating positive change in your organization. We’ll help you determine where to start and how to confidently build a hazing-free fraternity/sorority experience. Stick around for part 2 of this session and get one-on-one coaching on your personal plan of action from some of David Coleman, Coleman Productions the foremost experts in the anti-hazing movement! Dan Wrona, RISE Partnerships

Engaging the Members in the Middle: The Key to Real Change in Your Chapter Catalina 2 You have your top third members who do and lead everything (that’s most of you, BTW). You have your bottom third members who cause drama and headaches. But what about the folks in the middle? The ones who don’t draw much attention. If you want to make real change and improvement in your group, you need to shift your focus and gear your efforts toward them. In this session, we will make the case for the oft-ignored middle third, help you understand where they are coming from, and help you shift your leadership ideas ever so slightly so that you are giving them the attention they deserve. We’ll also give you one key revolutionary strategy for dealing with the bottom third that will set you free. T.J. Sullivan, CAMPUSPEAK

ed sessions Brotherhood and Sisterhood: Building Bonds Without Hazing Emerald Bay 1 Hazing has become an issue for many cultural Greek organizations. We say that we are a family but do families intimidate, humiliate or endanger one another? Building a strong membership education program without hazing is essential for the survival of all fraternal organizations. In this presentation participants will discuss the definitions of hazing included in state law, why so many cultural groups have resorted to hazing, and offer alternative solutions to building strong brotherhood and sisterhood with resorting to hazing. Diego Back, Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity
Developing a Chapter Academic Program: Moving Beyond Mandatory Study Hours Emerald Bay 2 Multi-Cultural organizations often find it difficult to create and implement a comprehensive academic program because of limited resources and membership size. As a result, most chapters often resort to assigning mandatory study hours and expect their members’ or chapter grade point average to increase. This session will focus on ways to create a program with limited resource, while giving participants the opportunity to share best practices and discuss the core issues of why our members are not succeeding in the classroom. Natalie Cleary, California State University, San Bernedino Mark Hartley, California State University, San Bernedino
Who’s Choosing You? Fountain Terrace Fra/Sor recruitment has largely been portrayed as an exclusive one-way process—trying to figure out which candidate(s) will make us look better, what can they do for us—rather than as a mutual decision-making process. This session will examine the two types of “choosers” (those who already know and understand this way of life and those whose decisions are largely based on multiple extraneous conditions) and how they come to the decision about joining a fraternal organization. Developing a recruitment plan for both types is essential for successful membership growth. It is no longer possible to just post a flyer or poster about your organization and expect potential members to line up at your door. This session will help recruitment chairs and executive boards develop strategies to remain increasingly competitive and significant in recruiting the next generation of members—including methods to increase the diversity of our applicant pool. Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK
Up on the High Wire: Promoting Resiliency and Preventing Distress among Student Leaders Laguna Beach 1 With increasing demands to do more with less and perform with polish, student leaders often feel like they are precariously positioned on top of the high wire. Everyone looks to them as pillars of strength in uncertain times, and many might question their ability to manage all the spinning plates they are juggling. Student leaders often have strong mental resiliency but don’t realize is that their periods of struggle give them the humility to go from good to great. This program looks at the issue of mental wellness and leadership and gives leaders the tools to sustain a passion for life. As a psychologist and a student leadership specialist, Sally brings a unique perspective to the topic. From storytelling to discussing the effects of stress on the brain, Sally will help students create a blueprint to stay mentally fit and avoid burnout as they perform in demanding leadership roles.

In addition, Hoan will share how he triumphed over candidates who were considerably older and vastly more experienced to land his dream job with the #1 personal development company in the world! With only 20% of college students securing a job by graduation, this is a session you won’t want to miss! Hoan Do, Coleman Productions

Membership Expectations, why they should be higher for active members Newport Beach 2 New member education often produces our best members, while they are going through it. Why doesn’t that translate to our active membership? This session will focus on how you can design your new member education to be the springboard to better membership. Michael Wilson, Kappa Alpha Order
Recruitment Counselor Training – “Rho Gamma, how do I join that sorority?” Newport Beach 3 Recruitment Counselors are the face of Panhellenic Recruitment, so how can you ensure that your counselors are representing your council and the Fraternity and Sorority community well? This session will examine ways to improve the selection, training, and recruitment process for recruitment counselors. It will also address disaffiliation, social media, and how to create unity amongst a group of very different women. If you have recently been elected as the Panhellenic VP of Recruitment and want to take your recruitment counselor program to the next level than this interactive session is for you! Jeanine Menolascino, University of Nevada, Reno
Eddie Dominguez, California State University, Fresno
The Snowball Effect - Addressing “Light” Hazing Newport Beach 1 Does your chapter or campus struggle with “Light” hazing activities as opposed to the events we hear about in the media? Are you challenged by understanding where that line is drawn from appropriate activities to policy violations? This workshop will discuss the issues around “lighter” hazing, why it is still hazing, and reasons and methods for addressing it.

How Are You Forwarding the Values Conversation on Your Campus? On most campuses there are members of fraternities and sororities who WANT to forward the values conversation within their community, but don't know where or how to begin. The Fraternal Values Society exists to provide a home for that conversation, to provide voice to the values movement, and to create a sustainable network within each fraternal community for those who want their fraternal experience to be representative of the founding fraternal/ethical values of our organizations.
ethos + amoibe + ekklesia values + change + community Students on campuses across America are making a dierence. The Fraternal Values Society gives them a place to gather, argue, discover, and plan.
You can be a founding member.
