Dear Brothers and Friends of Alpha Delta Phi, Welcome to Philadelphia! Thanks to the talents and dedication of our organizing committee and headquarters staff, we are excited to offer an educationally packed weekend of programs to advance your leadership skills and boost your chapter’s productivity. Over the course of the past few years, our Executive Office team as well as local alumni and our valued vendor partners have been integral in the successful planning of this event. I want to personally thank them for their hard work. Finally, I would like to thank the delegates and attendees - both alumni and undergraduate - for taking time out of their busy lives to join us this weekend. Taking time away from family and friends in the middle of summer is not easy, but we sincerely thank you for being so committed to The Alpha Delta Phi to join us. While our conventions are meant to be informative and educational, they are also meant to be fun and social. Throughout the weekend I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone by making connections with people from other chapters and affiliates. Please remember that during this weekend, we all represent the fraternity, so respect towards the hotel guests/staff and other venue guests is of the utmost importance. Anything less will not be tolerated, so please be responsible. I hope you enjoy this weekend in the city and if you have suggestions on how we can better support your chapter, please let a staff or board member know - we are here to serve you! XAIPE!
Steve Thompson, MIN 1995 President, Board of Governors

Michael Ayalon, CEO, Greek University Our campuses completely changed in the spring of 2020 when our fraternities and sororities turned into a virtual world of Zoom meetings. We were already dealing with lower student enrollment on campus, concerns over the rising costs of college tuition, as well as parents and students being more aware than ever about the problems in fraternities and sororities being portrayed in the media. This year, students will be closely monitoring all of their college expenses. Their priorities have shifted to activities that will directly lead to greater job prospects, and even engaging with other students on campus can be a challenge at times. This is where fraternity and sorority life comes in to engage our student body. We know many of your experienced recruiters in the chapter have graduated. Your members will need to embrace a whole new recruitment system that does not depend on the “big in-person events” or forcing the recruitment chairman to bring in all of our new members, but instead puts the focus on the authentic relationships that all of your individual members can form with potential new members. Students are looking for creative ways to connect with others and find a large network of job and internship opportunities that your membership can provide to them. This is our time.
