welcome! On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, and the many volunteers of AFLV, welcome to St. Louis for the Central Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Black Greek Leadership Conference! We hope this opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with fraternity and sorority members throughout the country will be beneficial, not only to you personally, but also to your chapter and Fraternal Community. This conference offers 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 2012 conference has drawn attendees from more than 25 states to enhance skills and knowledge while becoming effective leaders. Also in attendance are international/national and province officers, as well as professional staff from many fraternities and sororities. Please take this opportunity to let them know how they can help your chapter/council. Another important aspect of the conference is the opportunity to interact with businesses that serve the fraternal market. Please take time to wander through the exhibit hall and introduce yourself to our Associate Members who have traveled a long distance to share their products and services with you. These individuals and companies are a very important part of our conference. Many of them are providing the educational content of the meeting, and several are major sponsors of the event. Please thank them for their time, energy, and financial investment. The conference staff hopes that you will take advantage of this conference experience by learning new leadership techniques, discussing personal ideas, and meeting peers and professionals in the Fraternal community. Take advantage of all this conference has to offer and have a great time! Do not hesitate to let us know how we can make your experience more enjoyable. Sincerely, The Central Fraternal Leadership Conference/National Black Greek Leadership Conference Committee

This goes directly to the hotel security department who will dispatch the appropriate people to the scene.

Meals The undergraduate conference registration includes the Friday Affiliation Luncheon, Saturday’s lunch and the Saturday Banquet.

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.

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 may 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 and eligibility to attend future conferences will be in jeopardy.

Educational Session Symbol Key

In an effort to help you select educational sessions that are most applicable to your leadership position and interests, this year, educational sessions are categorized into areas that coincide with the eight sections of the AFLV Awards and Assessment Applications. Select which sessions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll attend based on the following categories, Any participant is welcome and encouraged to attend any session regardless of category, including those bearing the NBGLC icon. Sessions with the NBGLC icon have content that leans toward an NPHC audience but is inclusive of any fraternity or sorority member.

DEFINING ELEMENTS

CAMPUSPEAK

at the

2012 AFLV-CENTRAL FRATERNAL LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE AND NATIONAL BLACK GREEK LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

DR. LORI HART

Making Greek Great Thursday, February 9, 7:00 p.m. Fraternity and Sorority Life has always been about one thing: building friendships. As long as we stay true to that purpose, fraternity and sorority is a powerful force for good on our campuses and in our communities.

BRIAN C. JOHNSON

T.J. SULLIVAN

Brian uses film clips from popular films to explore the influence of Hollywood on how we view ourselves as members of the Greek community as well as the impact these images have on how we interact with others on campus.

Most of the energy in your organization comes from the constant battle between those at the top and those at the bottom. Where does that leave those members in the middle? T.J. helps you understand the secret to making real change in your groups.

Reel Greek: Where Hollywood Boulevard Meets Greek Row Friday, February 10, 9:00 a.m.

Keeping Frienship Alive Sunday, February 12, 9:15 a.m.

Em info@campuspeak.com

NBGLC Advisors’ Track

Rasheed Ali Cromwell, The Harbour Institute Saturday during Ed Session Blocks 5 and 6 Crystal Ballroom

Greek advisors, campus advisors, and student service professionals are pivotal to the success of historically Black greek-letter organizations at an undergraduate level. This success is grounded in preparation, wisdom, and best practices that are instrumental in addressing the challenges and needs that exist in this area. This powerful session empowers participants with strategies and techniques to better lead National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations on their campus. The focus on this advisor’s session is how to build larger, quality chapters! Ways advisors can help facilitate and/or educate members on recruitment. Emphasizing the need and significance to consistently and actively seek qualified members while addressing the passive recruiting culture that exists in Black Greek life.

NBGLC Luncheon

Speaker: Tish Norman (see page 21 for a full description) Saturday, Noon - 1:30 p.m. AC 230

NPHC Educational Sessions There are seven blocks of educational sessions throughout the conference. All conference attendees are invited to attend any session in which they have interest.

Erica Upshaw: Keep Friendship Alive

Majestic

Come to the Bookstore There is a bookstore in the exhibit hall for you to pick up your favorite titles on fratenity/sorority topics. Many of the authors are here at the conference. How sweet would it be to buy their book and have them sign it? Pretty sweet, we think.

Buy some books. Lots of them. In fact, if you spend $100, we’ll give you the “16 Reasons Fraternities and Sororities are Relavent” poster for free. Yes! It’s straight from your all-time favorite AFLV blog post! If you just want the poster, however, you can buy it. We just think you could really use some books, too.

The AFLV Silent Auction supporting a cause you can believe in

The m ore y bid...th ou e greate r your chanc e winnin of g an iPad2 !

A silent auction doesn’t literally mean you need to be silent, but the bidding process is different than traditional auctions. Take time to peruse the silent auction displays and if you want to win an item, write your wager on the bidding sheet... THAT’s the silent part! Since the auction is... well... silent, the key is to continually check on your item and continue to outbid your competitors. This isn’t Ebay folks! Waiting until the last second isn’t the way to play the game. So...

Bid High & Bid Often!

keynote speakers Making Greek Great Lori Hart Thursday, 7:00-8:30 p.m. Since the days of our founders, fraternity and sorority life has always been about one thing: building friendships. We all seek a place to belong and a place where we form friendships that will shape us and guide us throughout our lives. As long as we stay true to that purpose, fraternity and sorority is a powerful force for good on our campuses and in our communities. But, when we stray from that purpose, we get in trouble. We make the papers. People get hurt. Our image in society becomes toxic. Making Greek Great is as simple as being true to our principles of good friendship - giving young men and women a safe, nurturing place to become their very best.

Reel Greek: Where Hollywood Boulevard Meets Greek Row Brian Johnson Friday, 9:00-10:30 a.m. 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! As more first generation students go to college, fraternity and sorority members come faceto-face with the Hollywood mirror where beer guzzling, lewd behavior, hazing, cheating, and destruction are the order of the day for fraternities and sororities are little more than havens of bitchiness and exclusivity. This keynote uses clips from films like Old School and Animal House to explore the influence of Hollywood on how we view ourselves as members of the Greek community.

Motivating the Middle T.J. Sullivan Saturday, 9:00-10:15 a.m. Your top third members are leading your organization and vigorously supporting its values and mission. Your bottom third is causing problems, as usual - checking out, behaving badly, and detracting from the values of your organization. Most of the energy in your organization comes from the constant battle between those at the top and those at the bottom. Where does that leave those members in the middle? You know who they are: the chapters or the chapter members who are generally supportive but who have other pressing priorities. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for much and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get much. Based on his new book, Sullivan makes his ninth AFLV keynote appearance, helping your understand the secret to making real change in your community.

keynote speakers Calling all Greeks to the Floor Tish Norman Saturday, Noon-1:30 p.m. (NBGLC Luncheon) A member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tish brings a powerful and influential new voice to the fraternity and sorority educational market. She motivates Greeks of all types, sizes, and traditions to enhance the quality of student life on and off their campus - contributing to the educational and personal development of their fellow students and making a real difference in their campus communities. Tish promotes diversity and unity by calling on fraternal organizations to recognize and embrace differences. In her keynote, Tish encourages fraternity and sorority leaders to choose their role models wisely and to become role models for the men and women who follow behind them.

Keep Friendship Alive Erica Upshaw Sunday, 9:15-10:30 a.m. In 2000, a popular student named Joey Upshaw died of a lethal does of the drug GHB and alcohol. To many, Joey was the perfect student: good grades, popular, fraternity leader. But like many “good kids” in his social group, Joey spent the weekends mixing recreational drugs and large quantities of alcohol. Joey’s sister, Erica, attended the same school, the same parties, and took part in many of the same activities. Two years younger, Erica partied alongside her brother. Looking back, she realizes the high-risk drinking and drug abuse in which she and Joey engaged in was incredibly dangerous. In the months and years that followed Joey’s death, she has had to come to terms with the reckless attitudes she and her friends had about drugs and alcohol.

featured speakers Friday 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Making Greek Life Matter David Coleman It doesn’t take courage to “Go Greek,” it takes courage to be a “Great Greek!” This program will implore Greeks in America to “stand up” and become the type of people they know they can and should be. It is time for the fluff and rhetoric to end and for integrity and action to begin. We will cover treating people with dignity and respect, understanding what “true” friendship, brotherhood, and sisterhood really means, the stages of development every college student experiences, the five phases of interpersonal relationships, the five characteristics of healthy relationships and how to develop pictures in students’ hearts that fill them with amazing alumni memories.

From Ritual to Reality Mari Ann Callais Using music and storytelling, Mari Ann offers a truly unique keynote about values, ritual, and the responsibilities of being a lifetime fraternity or sorority member. For nearly a decade, she has built a legion of admirers with her fun, upbeat keynotes on fraternal values. Fraternity and sorority communities have asked her to campus to discuss the importance of community service and ritual with new members. She is among the more popular retreat facilitators in the country. As the past president for Theta Phi Alpha fraternity, Mari Ann offers a unique blend of local and national perspective on sorority issues and has helped numerous Panhellenics deal with the issue of sorority hazing.

Sexversations Kelly & Becca Kelly and Becca are putting all their cards on the table to encourage meaningful and healthy conversations about sex. Using their innovative educational tool, Sexversations, they will help strengthen your ability to have candid conversations about intimacy, relationships, sex, sexual health, sexuality, and sexual assault. Nothing is off limits! This session can go from essential to extreme and from sobering to hilarious; no matter what direction it takes, Sexversations will get you talking about sexual health like you’ve never seen before. This session inspires important conversations and offers knowledge that will help you live more sexually empowered lives that value respect and consent.

What Makes You Tic? Marc Elliott Two days after Marc was born he was diagnosed with a rare disease called Hirschsprung’s Disease. Though death was more probable than a life of quality, a surgeon saved his life. But, at nine, Marc was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome which manifested in various forms ranging from ‘ticcing’ inappropriate words to head convulsions. Expounding on his own disabilities and how people have reacted to and treated him, Marc gives audiences insight into the power of tolerance in a fun and easily relatable matter. Tolerance is the speech’s fountainhead - Marc provokes audiences to examine ways in which we make assumptions about others and will leave you with an open mind about how to best deal with those who are different. Marc’s speech encourages everyone to “live and let live.”

featured speakers Saturday 1:45 - 2:45 p.m.

Living the Dreams of our Founders Rick Barnes Today, there is fiery debate between advocates of the fraternity/sorority experience that those who feel it’s become more harmful than beneficial. Truth is, when we live up to the dreams of our founding fathers and mothers, our communities provide one of the best leadership and values-building experiences available to a young man or woman today. But, that takes a commitment to building diverse and relevant fraternities and sororities that work together to add to the campus and fulfill their stated missions. In this keynote, Rick addresses all the various groups that make up our rich community, challenging everyone to collaborate toward higher performance and standards for everyone who wears letters.

What’s Your Gay Point Average™? Shane Windmeyer It is time to take the ultimate test - what’s your Gay Point Average? Learning about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues does not have to be divisive or difficult on campus. In fact, college students today need to understand why having a high Gay Point Average is an important aspect of diversity and preparation for success in life - at home, the workplace, and places of worship. And, believe it or not, sometimes straight people actually have a higher Gay Point Average than a Grade Point Average... and that’s okay. Shane shares in a personal way the challenges confronting LGBT youth and challenges every person to play an active role in creating safe communities where everyone can thrive.

Tap Dancing Without Shoes: The History of Stepping and the Impact on Fraternity & Sorority Life™. Rick Daniels

The art of Stepping is growing more and more popular on college campuses. While this art form has predominantly associated to historically Black Greek organizations, these groups are not the only ones using Step to express organizational pride and identity. In fact, in 2010, the Epsilon chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha - an NPC sorority - took home the championship in one of the largest Step competitions in the country. While some Black Greek organizations find this controversial and argue Step shouldn’t be co-opted by other groups, Rick believes the art of Step can create a foundation of unity and provides an opportunity for cross-cultural sharing.

Looking Through the Broken Mirrors: Understanding Eating Disorders Stacey Prussman In this program Stacey addresses the progression of her eating disorder and treatment through her own personal story. She’ll discuss the different types of eating disorders and the warning signs, and all the while, add a fresh, humorous twist to this serious topic. What are the effects of fad diets, crash diets, diet pills, and over exercising? How is the media’s intense influence on a slender body image brainwashing you? What is society’s reaction to the media? How can we not let the media influence us? What is a healthy body weight and how to maintain it without obsessing, dieting, and unhealthy eating patterns? These are just a few of the questions Stacey will address.

Ignite Fraternity The concept is simple. Ignite is a series of short talks, called SPARKS, with a twist. Each speaker gets five minutes and 20 slides to make their point and enlighten and entertain the audience. Learning by doing is key. This is where you come in. Speakers will have five minutes and 20 slides with each slide advancing automatically every 15 seconds to present their SPARK. SPARKS can address the audience on any aspect of fraternal life - Ritual, recruitment, it could be anything. The content of each SPARK is the opinion of the speaker; consider Ignite to be an open forum for ideas to be exchanged. Stick around until the end to ask questions or challenge ideas. Ignite is most successful with interaction!

Professionals’ Institute

Sponsored by the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Kim Novak, NovakTalks, LLC Justin Angotti, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Crystal Ballroom Friday during Ed Session Blocks 2, 3, and 4

How many times in the past year have you been faced with the challenge to help the organization you advise to come up with an activity or program to address an organization “problem”? How many meetings have you attended where you leave feeling as if all that has been accomplished is a dialogue about the problem and maybe, if you were lucky, a new project has been added to your plate? Have you ever wondered if what you are doing has actually made a difference or positively influenced the problem? Many of us have found ourselves in these situations and yet we cannot simply ignore the request or need to address concerns on campus or within our organizations. What we can do is use our professional skills and talents to find viable solutions and make real change. This professional development program is designed to help you meet those challenges of finding solutions and addressing problems on campus or within organizations. The model taught will have useful application for task forces, work teams, standing committees, departments, and individuals faced with addressing behaviors, social concerns, and shifting campus cultures. Using a strategic problem solving model based on the social science/public health models developed by the Higher Education Center for Alcohol/Other Drug and Violence Prevention participants will actively engage in designing strategic change initiatives that will address the REAL problem. This session is designed based on the work of the Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug, and Violence Prevention which was developed to help campuses in their efforts to prevent problem behaviors or high-risk actions and promote safety. The model is designed to lead staff through and review the scope of campus and/or community specific problems, describes the wide array of factors that cause and contribute to the problem, outline a comprehensive approach to reducing causes and contributors and successfully reduce the problem being taken on. The framework has been successfully used for addressing problems related to alcohol, other drug, hazing, sexual violence and a myriad of campus challenges including but not limited to staff retention, student leader development, and campus retention.

NBGLC Advisors’ Track Rasheed Ali Cromwell, The Harbour Institute Crystal Ballroom Saturday during Ed Session Blocks 5 and 6

Greek advisors, campus advisors, and student service professionals are pivotal to the success of historically Black Greek-letter organizations at an undergraduate level. This success is grounded in preparation, wisdom, and best practices that are instrumental in addressing the challenges and needs that exist in this area. This powerful session empowers participants with strategies and techniques to better lead National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations on their campus. The focus on this advisor’s session is how to build larger, quality chapters! Ways advisors can help facilitate and/or educate members on recruitment. Emphasizing the need and significance to consistently and actively seek qualified members while addressing the passive recruiting culture that exists in black Greek life.

AC 100

This session is designed to assist students in further developing their existing chapter of Order of Omega or in getting a chapter started on their campus. The Order is an honorary for fraternity men and women who demonstrate leadership and service to their Greek community. The national organization offers many resources that can help chapter members energize Greek leaders on their individual campuses.

Be the Life of Any Party… ALCOHOL FREE! AC 101

Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY

Feel Better, Think Better, Be Better Why do most people immediately turn to alcohol as a social lubricant at parties? Because alcohol is considered the acceptable, surefire way to become socially outgoing, accepted, and accountability-free. This session will teach you how to avoid the “pregame party necessity,” build up your social value, and hold effective conversations – without being drunk. You’ll learn directly from one of America’s top dating coaches how to be the most popular person at any party…sober! #partyright Adam LoDolce, Coleman Productions, Inc.

Understanding the Alumni Perspective AC 230

“How come our alumni won’t give our chapter any money? Why don’t they come to our alumni events? Don’t they like us (those old _______s)?” These are the most commonly expressed concerns and misunderstandings of undergraduates in fraternity and sorority chapters. The bottom line is simple: The concept of fraternity or sorority will always mean something different to the alumnus/a who is now working and raising a family than it does to the undergraduate who balances academic and chapter concerns. This session (facilitated by a fraternity HQ alumni staff professional) explores the alumni perspective and offers ideas on furthering alumni engagement. #alumnirelations Lenny Dave, Coleman Productions, Inc.

AC 240

Are you drowning under the load and pressure of everyday college life? Classes, studying, sports, work, relationships, and fraternity/sorority responsibilities? How do you get it all done and stay sane? In this fun and interactive session, Stress Coach Lori will show you easy ways to reduce stress, improve your GPA, sleep better, have more energy, better relationships, enjoy college and position yourself for success in life. #beyou Lori Hanson, Learn2Balance

Branding 501: Advanced Strategies for Greek Organizations AC 241

Being a member of the fraternal Community provides students on your campus with more value than any other organization can possibly offer them. The problem is, they don’t realize this and arrive on campus with mostly negative stereotypes in their minds about what Greek organizations are all about. There is a huge disconnect between what your product offers and what people perceive it to be. Learn how to craft a killer brand for your community and each of your member organizations. By the end of this program, you will learn how to build an exceptional brand that aligns with your values and appeals to highquality potential members. #brandidentity Tom Healy, CAMPUSPEAK

Effectively, Successfully Manage and Advise NPHC and Multicultural Chapters

Who’s Choosing You? AC 152

AC 242

NPHC/multicultural organizations face many obstacles which may discourage their ability to be effective, involved, and contribute to the campus community. One such challenge is a lack of understanding with regard to feeling “included” or made to feel “a part” of the campus community. This lack of understanding may be related to lack of appreciation of diversity or knowing how to work with the different “perspectives” of these organizations. With changes in university officials, especially advisors workings with NPHC organizations, developing a sense of trust and mutual respect may be a difficult task. Developing an effective way to promote and encourage these organizations to flourish is key to their continued existence and ability to contribute to the campus community. #advise Martin Hill, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

Deconstructing the Machine: Breaking Down Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment AC 140

Do you not understand how sorority recruitment works? At all? Are you a member of NPHC, MGC, or IFC that just doesn’t get why everyone is so excited for their new huge new member class after talking to women for a total of two or three hours? Come hear it broken down and explained by an IFC man, an NPHC Woman, and a Panhellenic Woman! #sororityrecruit Brooke Isbell, Virginia Commonwealth University Neil Stanglien, Virginia Commonwealth University

Situational Leadership: An Adaptive Approach to Working with your Council AC 141

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 and what they can do for us - rather than 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. 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 the applicant pool. #recruit Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK

Be Social. Be Excellent. AC 143

What do keg stands, curiosity, Jager bombs, generosity, handshakes, and “the screw,” have to do with organizational success? This session will inspire you to maximize your interpersonal skills and organizational knowledge to build giant networks of friends, fans, and potential members. Be prepared to be dared, entertained, doubledared, 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. #beexcellent Matthew Mattson, Phired Up Productions

Build Your Brand Identity AC 150/151

Realizing now that your leadership position requires you to adapt to numerous people, situations, tasks and responsibilities - sometimes all at the same time? As the name implies, situational leadership focuses on adapting your leadership style to the situation. The premise of this theory is that different situations and different members of your council or chapter will require different styles of leadership. Situational leadership is a necessary skill for Greek leaders who are interested in understanding how to effectively accomplish tasks and create change within a chapter or community with various levels of commitment and competence from one member to the next.

“I want my daughter to join a sorority so she doesn’t drink herself out of college.” “I want my son to join a fraternity so he’ll put down the video games and become a leader.” If people knew what Greeks really stood for, they might actually say this! How would that affect our relationships with our campus? Community? Potential members? Learn how to have a value-based, effective, and coordinated branding campaign through your internet presence as well as all traditional means of advertising such as T-shirts, fliers, printed materials, and more. Effective methods will be taught to chapters as well as council leaders. It will even include ways to protect your brand from those idiot members and chapters within your community.

The “Sistah Greek Movement:” More Than A Soror, You’re My Sistah Majestic A

Do you find you can’t accomplish what you wish you could in your chapter or council simply because of a lack of funds? There are lots of ways to get things done with limited funds through better collections, partnerships, sponsorships, bartering, and fundraising. You can even earn 5% of what your chapter members spend on textbooks! #finance David Stollman, The Student Union

When Things Were Black and White: A Historical Review of Discriminatory Practices in Fraternities and Sororities AC 160/161

It hardly seems possible today, but from the early 1900s to as late as the 1960s, some of our national organizations used what was called the “Caucasian Clause” to restrict membership. We’ll look at a number of aspects including the role of undergraduates in bringing about change, the fact that not all national men’s and women’s organizations used membership restrictions and several key legal cases that prompted change. #greekhistory David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc.

From Hazing to Health AC 162/163

The “Sistah Greek Movement” was formed after a few African American sorority women noticed the need to connect and re-build relationships with women who shared their struggles and not their letters. At a time when resources for African Americans are limited, unifying as African American women is vitally important for our success. The Movement encourages college women to discuss Black Womanhood, community division, the importance of supporting one another as African American women, and ways to ignite a “Sistah Greek Movement” on your campus. #NPHCsuccess Latorria Griffith, Paunita Jones, Eboni Turnbow,

Why Your Ritual Isn’t Really A Secret… And How To Share It With Others Landmark 7

If your chapter is like most, you perform the decades old ceremony only once a semester. Everyone might get really excited about Ritual, even referring to it as their “favorite part” of your organization. However, if Ritual is so awesome then why do we choose to keep it a secret? For all others know, Ritual might be a guidebook for party planning and binge drinking. Whether you’re an expert on your Ritual or you’re looking to learn more about what that old book actually means, this session is a great way for you to develop a plan of action for understanding your Ritual and sharing its contents.

Still not sure what constitutes hazing? Tired of confusing legal terms and scare tactics? During this workshop, we throw out the legal definition of hazing in favor of a simpler, more practical framework that represents the deeper meaning behind the laws and policies. Learn five simple steps to prevent hazing while building a healthier, higher performing chapter through new member education.

Effective speakers share the innate ability to move people to action via the spoken word. David will share his insights and techniques to help you strengthen your public speaking skills and develop a personal presence that will set you apart while helping you lead others to accomplishments they previously thought unattainable. David will help you deliver powerful messages with honor, dignity, respect, integrity, and vitality and become more competent and committed to the creation of genuine human verbal interactions.

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’re part of an elite club. Survived initiation, made your way to the top as a leader in your sorority—you belong. But, do you know who you are? Have you maintained your individuality or have you realized that somewhere along the path you’ve forgotten how to speak your mind and honor your desires? There’s plenty of subtle pressure in the sisterhood to act, dress, and communicate a certain way. But you can be part of the pack and still be yourself. Make your own decisions and take a stand when it’s important to you. Lori will show you how to ask for what you want, express yourself, and pump up the volume on your self-confidence. She’ll give you tools that will empower and last you a lifetime. Don’t just be a sister, be a real sister. #realsister Lori Hanson, Learn2Balance

Confronting Hazers: Fifteen Questions that Hazers Never, Ever Want to Hear AC 240

You know who they are. The hazers in your chapter can be identified in a number of ways. But, when they roll out their tortured rationalizations and circular logic, you need to fire off questions that they cannot answer. We’ll review fifteen questions that hazers cannot and will not answer along with a number of practical arguments against hazing in this session. #donthaze David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc.

Diversity According to Family Guy and South Park AC 140

Be ready to experience, feel, and learn firsthand, how diversity affects the interaction you and your fraternity/ sorority community have every day. 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. You’ll view selected clips from these shows and also learn how the underlying subliminal messages in these programs are driving behavior in our culture. You’ll leave with new, educated vision of how to not only interpret what you watch on TV, but how to utilize the ideas to creatively inspire others. #diversity Matt Glowacki, Coleman Productions, Inc.

Go Hard or Go Home: Strategies to Fuel Your Organization’s Fire Landmark 1

Organizations often struggle as a result of lack of direction, ineffective recruitment strategies, and lost leaders. Rick will challenge you to step up and drive your organizations to greatness, keeping in mind the question: What will I think of my organization in ten years? Some harsh truths are presented—members lobbying for change can’t always be the good guys and a lack of follow-through will not yield any results—and Rick will leave you with the challenge of putting your devotion to work. #LEAD Rick Daniels, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

Then come to this interactive workshop where we will look into various ways to set fraternity/sorority standards of excellence. We will discuss ways of taking what the community is already doing (service, scholarship, etc.) and turning that into a benchmark for the entire community.

How do you get members to care enough to contribute when nature seems to be conspiring against you? What does science tell us about getting people to step up? Do we really need checklists, accreditation programs, and big sticks to get anything done? Find out what the people who study motivation, group dynamics, and human interaction have to say about it.

Clear Eyes, Full Heart, Can’t Lose: The Roll of Competition in the Greek Community

AC 150/151

AC 143

As our Greek Communities continue to grow, the role of competition is becoming increasingly prevalent in all that we do. While competition can be an incentive for our organizations to thrive on campus, it can also be detrimental to the values and purposes of our organizations. In this session, we will examine the role of competition and how our organizations, as well as our greater Greek communities, can positively reinforce competition in recruitment, philanthropy and community service, and on-campus Greek events. Through open discussions, interactive activities, and student-based research, attendees will gain a thorough understanding of the balance between competition and leading by the values our organizations were founded upon.

Today’s Morals, Washed Out to Shore

No need to “GTL” for this session as we look at our moral ‘situation’. Are your actions and those of your fellow members following the ideals of our founders? The principles, values, and guiding standards outlined by our rituals create a moral compass for each of us as individuals, chapters, and councils. This session will discuss how we as a community can come to challenge the status quo, create action, and improve the fraternal reputation. This highly interactive and comical session will allow participants to understand personal moral development in everyday life and how they can challenge their community to a greater good. #leadwithvalues Amber Shaverdi Huston, Delta Sigma Phi Will Frankenberger, Delta Sigma Phi

These findings reveal results surrounding several previously questioned areas of the student experience and will help us understand the real impact fraternity membership has on the development of fraternity men. Further discussion will focus on how chapters, governing councils, and fraternity/sorority professionals and volunteers can use this information to positively impact the their communities and organizations. #impactfraternity Will Foran, North-American Interfraternity Conference Andy Huston, North-American Interfraternity Conference

Redefining Traditions in Our Fraternity and Sorority Communities Landmark 4

Whether historical or recent, fraternity and sorority traditions build the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood in our chapters. Some traditions are complex and others are smaller, but they bring students together in a sense of belonging, brotherhood, and sisterhood. When tradition is done right, it’s one of the best things about fraternity or sorority life. Unfortunately, on some campuses and in some chapters, negative traditions based around abusive behavior or stereotypes have started to define us. This program will help you understand why tradition is so powerful and important while challenging you to shape chapter traditions around the very best values of their organizations. #ritual Dr. Mari Ann Callais , CAMPUSPEAK

Leadership Strategies for Leaders of A Diverse World AC 152

In 2010, a study done by the Hudson Institute for the U.S. Department of Labor discovered that 85% of the new entrants into the workforce would be women, minorities and immigrants, and in another study done on the current workforce, statistics revealed that 85% of dismissals within the workplace occur because of personality differences. Included within these personality differences that occur within the workplace are generational differences, religious differences, political differences and gender differences. As leaders of the 21st Century, not only is it essential that we understand the unique differences within our working environments, but it’s extremely important that we understand how to effectively lead and serve diverse groups of people effectively within our organizations. #leadershipanddiversity Joshua Fredenburg, Vision XY

Dynamic Recruitment Fundamentals for Fraternities Majestic D

Insanity (n). The act of doing something repeatedly and expecting different results. Unfortunately, this is how most fraternity chapters in the country operate with regards to recruitment. They use a system that is outdated, impersonal, and largely ineffective.

Buy In or GET OUT! AC 230

Landmark 3

If you haven’t said it, we’re sure you’ve heard it. Reality Check: “Pledging” is hazing, they’re both illegal and really have no positive effect on member commitment, work ethic, or sister/brother bonding. Oftentimes, hazing has become an engrained aspect of chapter culture; some want out but don’t know how. It is our responsibility to critically examine hazing culture in NPHC chapters to really address the issue. Why must we “pledge” to get respect? This is a real talk about how hazing effects the success of NPHC chapters and the challenges of changing the cycle. Real talk, no facades allowed. #donthaze Latorria Griffith, Hanover College Steven Johnson, Southern Methodist University

Held back by chapters who don’t “get it” and don’t care? Members who are there for the wrong reasons? Fighting? Cliques? Apathy? Poor appreciation for ritual, service, and scholarship?

Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities Majestic E

We believe good recruitment happens 365 days a year and in a very consistent and strategic way. Recruitment happens everyday regardless of whether chapters give bids one time a year or all year long or if chapters participate in a formal recruitment process or do continuous cecruitment both semesters. Dynamic Recruitment is the process we use to help sorority women conceptualize what good yearround 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 you exactly what you need to do to grow your membership in quantity and quality – year-round. #sororityrecruit Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions

What EXCUSES? Taking NPHC to the Next Level Majestic F

For centuries, our communities, nation, and world have been impacted greatly by amazing men and women that have served their generation effectively as GREAT LEADERS. Although each of these leaders possessed amazing leadership characteristics, one of the key attributes that can be identified in each of these great leaders is an amazing HEART! In this presentation, emerging leaders will get practical and applicable leadership strategies that will help them develop an amazing heart for service as a leader. Joshua talks about the importance of exceptional character, servant leadership, authentic leadership, ethical leadership, and leading with love and compassion for others.

We want to implement so many ideas in NPHC but this organization is never on time, this organization does not like this one, and we don’t have any money! This educational yet practical session will create a safe environment to have honest dialogue to identify the issues that hold your campus NPHC back from advancing. Using The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, we will create strategies and goals to implement the change you would like to see on your campus. You will leave this session not only with thoughts but with a plan of action, a new network of like-minded individuals, and goals to succeed - because there are no excuses.

RFM has changed the landscape of NPC recruitment as we implemented RFM on more than 400 campuses. Our experiences in implementation have helped us refine our approach to and the way we think about recruitment. We will use data collected from those implementations to provide the background and rationale for our approach and share information about new NPC recruitment rules. #NPCrecruit Carmela Martini, National Panhellenic Conference

As more and more women enroll in college, our Panhellenic systems are growing rapidly. Learn how to identify when your campus is ripe for Panhellenic extension and how to navigate the extension process to maximize success on your campus. This session will review the role of the NPC Extension Committee, assist participants in learning how to identify when expansion should happen, outline the extension process, discuss role of Panhellenic and Fraternity/Sorority Advisor in the extension process, and provide resources for the extension process. #NPCextension Nicki Meneley, National Panhellenic Conference Mary Jane Beach, National Panhellenic Conference

Ten Pushups: A Sample of Recruitment Boot Camp Majestic D

Block #3: Friday, 3:20 - 4:20 p.m.

Inward Growth with an Outward Focus AC 140

From the aspect of the “authentic self,” participants will use the development model of BeadforLife to refine their own dreams and goals to bring back to their world at large. Activities can include some of the following: identifying key issues and concepts surrounding extreme poverty (i.e. equity, poverty, consequences, and resource distribution), identifying poverty or areas of need in your immediate communities, and sustainable solutions to positively impact your social circles. After attending this session, participants will have not only identified what inspires them personally, but will leave with inspired approaches to bring BeadforLife’s sustainable model into their own communities. #beyou Heather Ditillo, BeadforLife

Naysayers, Crickets and Whiners: Overcoming Barriers to Change AC 232

Recruitment Boot Camp is the premier recruitment program for organizations looking to increase the quality and quantity of members. This systematic approach to attracting and retaining members to your organization is categorized in 10 simple steps applicable to all chapters. #recruit Laurel Peffer, CAMPUSPEAK Caitlin Roberts, University of California Long Beach

A Leader’s Approach to Confrontation Landmark 1

Leaders have loads of responsibilities. Most of it is fun and offers an opportunity to excel as an individual. Some of it is very challenging. Confrontation can be one of those. But, unfortunately, confrontation is often a part of effective leadership. In order to be a great leader, we need to know how to confront effectively. You’ll learn how you can apply your natural skills to confrontation. You’ll also learn a simple step-bystep approach to this difficult topic. This is a fun, interactive workshop. #confront Rick Barnes, CAMPUSPEAK

Campus Leadership: Creating Coalitions Landmark 2

This session will increase participants’ understanding of the necessity for effective partnerships between chapter leaders and institutional administrators. Through this session, students will identify critical issues impacting fraternities, sororities, and host institutions, as well as understand how turning a partnership into a coalition can positively impact their campus community. #creatingcoalitions

You have some great ideas that would take fraternity/sorority life to a new level, but there’s one problem standing in the way: your members. There’s a Naysayer who will shoot down any new idea, a Traditionalist who wants everything to be like ‘the old days,’ and the Crickets who stare blankly into space and say nothing. Not to mention the Voice, the Whiner, and the Blockade. They will say things like “we’ve always done it this way.” or “that sounds like a lot of work.” Your success is not determined by their excuses, but by how you respond to them. Join us for a fun and empowering session to gain techniques for working with Naysayers, Crickets, Whiners, and more. #change Marsha Carrasco Cooper, RISE Partnerships Whitney Swesey, RISE Partnerships

Sex Between Brothers and Sisters AC 230

What will happen when you mix a preacher, a sex expert, and a roomful of fraternity and sorority members to have a talk about sex and relationships? A chemical combustion like never before! Join in on this no-holds barred conversation about the complicated nature of sex/ hooking up within the fraternal community. In this session we will explore the impact of relationships within and across sibling organizations, what happens when your sister or brother starts dating your ex, maintaining love relationships outside the fraternal community, and how the rumor mill affects “family” relationships. We will also explore how the media, alcohol, and how the hook-up culture is affecting our decision-making and competing with our personal and organizational values. #relationships Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK Cindy Pierce, CAMPUSPEAK

Block #3: Friday, 3:20 - 4:20 p.m. Kristin’s Story: a Mother’s Account of Acquaintance Rape, Depression, and Suicide

Dynamic Recruitment Advanced for Fraternities Benton

AC 141

“Kristin’s Story” is the personal account of Andrea’s daughter who was raped by a “friend,” went into a deep depression, and committed suicide. This could be your story or the story of someone you know. Andrea stresses the importance of friends and relatives recognizing signs of depression and teaches how to support the survivor and get him/her help. By some estimates, one in four college women will be sexually assaulted. How can family, friends, and advisors help? Sexual assault can happen to any gender, any race, and any age. #stoptheviolence Andrea Cooper, Kristin’s Story, LLC

Oh No! My Greek Advisor is Black!

How does recruitment and membership intake typically happen on your campus? Is it a thrown-together process that only targets a small portion of incoming freshman? Dynamic Recruitment Advanced is a system that offers a proactive, quantifiable approach to recruitment that puts the accountability and ownership back onto the chapters. If you want big recruitment results, you have got to put in the work, and this session will get you PHIRED UP to take on the challenge. #fraternityrecruit Matthew Mattson, Phired Up Productions

Back to the Basics: Promoting the Value of Education AC150/151

AC 142

Or, “Oh No! My Greek Advisor is White!” Advising organizations across council affiliations takes immense skill and patience, and building trust across the gap can be an exercise in trust and faith for students. A great advisor must not necessarily be from the same council as the students he or she advises. But how can we get past the fear? #advise Rick Daniels, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

Moving from Unity to Community AC 143

Most contemporary sororities were founded in the 19th century because of very real obstacles to college. Our founders oftentimes were the first women allowed on their campus. Today, we are truly privileged and often take our education for granted. It is time to recommit to our founding values and focus on the joy and privilege of learning. This session will expose participants to the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women. We have a unique opportunity to fiercely bind together again to help those who are denied the right to an education; to fund those who do not have the means to afford an education; and to remove obstacles for those who value and love education. #history&values Ashley Dye, University of Illinois

We have all heard about fraternity/sorority unity and we talk about the fraternity/sorority community at our institutions, but are these concepts really tangible? The first step to getting there requires you to commit to both being a learner and educator with your peers. Learn steps to take to bridging the gaps between the councils on your campus. #community Colleen Drazen, Saint Louis University Lauren Misiewicz, University of Kansas

Standing at the Fork in the Road to Change Portland

The change what you need to change session will provide student leaders the necessary tools to create change within their chapter or councils. This session will equip student leaders who know things need to change in their organization or council, but not sure how to do it. If you feel your council/chapter has become stagnant and is only meeting the status quo, and you want to change that, this session is for you. #confrontation Kate Planow, Longwood University Neil Stanglein, Virginia Commonwealth University

I’m Looking For the Man In the Mirror:Are You Continuing the Legacy or Killing It? Westmoreland/Kingsbury

We were apart of the Women’s Suffrage Movement of 1920”, “Martin Luther King, Jr. is my fraternity brother”, “We are the first historically Black sorority for women” are all comments that many current members of NPHC organizations use to describe the greatness of their beloved brotherhood/sisterhood. Yet, the question still remains, “but what are YOU doing today?” This highly interactive session will encourage students to do honest assessments of personal and chapter contributions to the betterment and positive representations of their fraternity/sorority chapters. #NPHCSuccess Latorria Griffith, Paunita Jones,

Block #3: Friday, 3:20 - 4:20 p.m. Communicating with Confidence AC 152

In this interactive workshop, I walk students through a step-by-step process that will introduce and explore the four main communication styles we utilize; assertive, passive, aggressive, and passive aggressive. They will gain helpful interpersonal skills and learn the importance of how being prepared builds a stronger self-image and self-esteem. Whether Fraternity and Sorority members speak to an audience of one or one hundred, they will be better at it after attending this workshop. #communication Tish Norman, CAMPUSPEAK

The Elephant in the Room: Our Advisor is White!

What Will be Your Legacy: How Important is Branding for BGLO? AC 160/161

Appropriate branding of an organization plays a vital role in the achievement and longevity of any business. Using tactics of some of today’s most successful companies, we will assess how those same methods can help sustain your chapter/organization by identifying current strengths and weaknesses to ensure success on college campuses. #NPHCmarketing Steven Johnson, Southern Methodist University Alicia Gilbert, Ball State University

Who Really “Runs the Yard?” AC 162/163

Pershing/Lindell

“Is that our advisor? Wait, they’re White!” Was this your reaction when you met your advisor for the first time? If so, I get totally it: you were probably skeptical of their ability to advise your council and questioned the progress that your council would make under their guidance. After all, your organizations are different than the others and they simply won’t “get it.” Like it or not, they’re now your advisor…it’s time to make the best of it! So, how can you move beyond their identity or fraternal experience to establish a strong, collaborative relationship? During this session, we will explore the realities of having an advisor who doesn’t share your council affiliation and debunk many of the myths that surround their ability to support your organization. You’ll also hear personal experiences from current council leaders in this situation. In the end, you’ll leave with a host of tangible, realistic approaches to building a relationship with your advisor and (hopefully) develop a new, positive attitude toward that elephant in the room: your White advisor. #diversity Matthew Ferguson, University of North Carolina at Charlotte DeLisa Washington, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Utilizing NIC Standards to Maximize the Effectiveness of Your IFC AC 241

The NIC Standards were passed in 2004 and continue to be the primary guidelines for all NIC member organizations. Campus based chapters, interfraternity councils, and national organizations each have a responsibility when it comes to Standards compliance. Spend some time with NIC professional staff and lets talk about how full Standards compliance can help elevate the fraternity community on your campus. #NICstandards Will Foran, North-American Interfraternity Conference Andy Huston, North-American Interfraternity Conference

NPHC undergraduate chapters often have a cultural definition of success; winning consecutive step shows, chapter reputation of “working for their letters”, successful parties, etc. But really, how accurate are these measures of successful chapter effectiveness? For continued progression to occur in our NPHC organizations, students must begin to re-establish the relevant avenues of success and redefine the paths to get there. This interactive program will help participants paint a more accurate picture of what a successful chapter incorporates and how to maintain effective chapter management. Topics include: successful programming tactics, financial management insight, importance of GPA, significance of chapter size, and relevance of community service. #NPHCsuccess Eboni Turnbow, Grand Valley State University P.J.

Ten Pushups: A Sample of Recruitment Boot Camp - Part 2 Majestic D

Reel Big Bullies Majestic G

It’s no secret that Hollywood gets it all wrong when it comes to their representations of fraternity and sorority life! The movies would have us believe that the entire fraternal movement is participating in activities and behaviors that contradict our values as people and as organizations. These movies, while often hilarious, continue to feed the public belief that fraternal life is detrimental to the campus community. We must be diligent to combat these stereotypes to exemplify the truth about our values-based organizations. Nowhere is this more important than with the issue of bullying and hazing. College movies create the option of viewing bullying/hazing, as a “necessary evil” (a funny one at that) to inclusion, yielding chapters of bystanders who do little to counteract these negative behaviors. In this session, we will emphasize becoming active change agents to curb bullying within our chapters. #bebetter Brian Johnson, CAMPUSPEAK

Extreme Makeover: Black Greek Edition Landmark 1

Do you and your frat/sorors anxiously await that mid-September breeze so you can break out that fresh, crispy line jacket? Does every light jacket in your closet have your organization’s symbols embroidered on it? Is all of your business casual and professional attire in your organization’s colors? If the answer is YES for you or some of your closest friends, this session is for you! This session will engage participants in a humorous and interactive presentation about how to balance organizational and cultural pride, values alignment, and professionalism when wearing paraphernalia and representing your organization. If you’re reading this and have on your line jacket, you probably need to attend this session. Yes, YOU! So come on out and engage in a real discussion about how to properly represent your organization while still showing everyone how proud you are to be a member. #NPHCsuccess C.J.

Recruitment in a Candy Bar AC 140

You’re in your organization. You know all the secrets and meanings of the rituals, you know the Greek alphabet, and you know what brother/ sisterhood means. It is the most amazing feeling. Now, how do you get someone to feel the exact same passion about the things you know… without telling them what you know? This workshop will help you understand how to approach recruitment by comparing the passion of an organization with a nameless, brandless, unheard of candy bar! #recruit Christopher Maxwell, Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity

No Hazing Necessary: A No Risk, High Reward Programming Strategy for Developing Positive Fraternal Values in New Members AC 141

Some fraternity men or sorority women say that hazing new members builds brotherhood/sisterhood, knowledge of their fraternity or sorority, and unfortunately - they’re right. See how a small group of guys fought years of “tradition” and created a new member program that achieves the same positive outcomes of the old hazing practices in a fun and effective (and non-hazing) way using the three most crucial officers who can completely change the direction of a poorly performing chapter. Participants will leave with the skills necessary to implement effective new member programming and education without hazing, the ability to create engaging, multi-faceted new member retreats, and new ideas dealing for when chapter members present resistance to change. #donthaze Tyler Micek, Eastern Illinois University Bret Harrell, University of Nebraska at Omaha

Recruitment: How to Thrive, Not Just Survive AC 230

Do you want your members to love recruitment as much as you do? Are you tired of hearing about how much recruitment sucks? Often, sorority recruitment can be considered a task rather than an enjoyment. It is easy to become swallowed in negativity and overwhelmed with communication. However, recruitment is one of the most essential events an organization participates in and is a unique experience that can bond chapter members in their search for new members. It is important to use recruitment as a time to build relationships and strengthen sisterhood. #sororityrecruit Rachel Sechrest, Oklahoma State University Abby McCollom, Oklahoma State University

Tap Dancing Without Shoes: The History of Stepping and the Impact on Greek Life AC 142

From “School Daze” to “Stomp the Yard,” Stepping has evolved from a general pastime to a cultural phenomenon. Many who have seen the movie “Stomp the Yard” experienced stepping for the first time; however, stepping is not new to college campuses. Stepping is a dance style rooted in African tradition and flavored with modern Greek culture. This interactive and historical program will profile the history of stepping, impacts and challenges within Greek life, and tips for planning a step show. #NPHCstepping Rick Daniels, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

Judging a Book by its Cover: How Accurately is Your Image Representing Your Personal Brand? AC 101

All human beings judge and show bias. Although we shouldn’t, we judge the book by its cover more often than we should. It takes 15 seconds or less to form a first impression about a brand, a product, or a person. Consumer products companies spent enormous amount of time, effort, and resources to make sure their products have unique, attractive, appropriate, and inviting packaging. How do you present yourself to the world? Is your image aligned with the message you want to convey? This program challenges the subjective and opinionated way of approaching image. One’s image should be strategically designed and tactfully executed based on the audience and the environment he/she interacts with. Control your image and perception and ensure that you are delivering the right message about who you are and what you do. #marketing Jung Park, CAMPUSPEAK

How to interact more effectively with people of the same style and other styles. 3. How to effectively communicate in high stress situations. 4. How to lead others through your social style. Come learn if you are an Amiable, Expressive, Directive, or Analytical and how you can best use it your advantage, your chapter/council’s advantage, and ultimately your campuses advantage.

Have you ever been misunderstood due to cultural differences? Have you ever longed for everyday, logical, and concrete steps for communicating to form strong, lasting friendships with people from different cultures (difference genders, ethnicities, abilities, sexualities, etc.)? Former MTV Real World star and diversity consultant, Mohammed Bilal, has helped thousands of people move beyond the sheer tolerance of difference. His 12 Steps Towards Accepting Diversity is a fun, interactive presentation tying scholarship, hip-hop, and selfreflective narratives that equip the participant with easy, valuable, and powerful tools for appreciating the wondrous diversity around us. #diversity Mohammed Bilal, The College Agency

What is your legacy? Have you pondered your passion in life? Are you more of a doormat or more of a jerk? Does your bluntness hurt people’s feelings or do you tell white lies and have to wiggle your way out? This inspiring discussion encourages the audience to orient their moral compasses towards an integrity-filled life. This path to authentic success is contrasted to the worldly successes such as excessive wealth, popularity and prestige. Audience members leave ready 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! #integrity Corey Ciocchetti, University of Denver

In this session, we will discuss the challenges related to making change happen, how you can renew your motivation for change, and develop strategies to combat the real reasons why many change efforts fail. #LEAD WIll Foran, North-American Interfraternity Conference

Your social chair found a great location for the formal and booked the group as a church organization to avoid any issues with the realtor. Your adviser thinks he knows what is going on for the weekend, but little does he know about the true festivities. Sounds familiar? Many fraternity leaders plan formals and other events without proper planning to avoid risk management issues. Many leaders do not consult with student affair professionals or national headquarters when it comes to formals or weekend getaway trips. We will explore social host liability issues and risk management and take a look into the president’s role in proper risk management planning. By exploring relevant case studies, we will provide the audience with practical solutions to keep themselves and their organization safe from courts. #knowtherisk

Launched in January of 2011, the Fraternal Values Society is an undergraduate organization which challenges Fraternal communities to promote inclusive, values-driven discussion and action on their campuses. In this program, participants will be given more information on the impact of being in or starting a chapter at their institution, as well as hear from other student members about the benefits of their membership. If you’re interested in using the knowledge you’ve acquired at this conference to make your Fraternal community stronger, this program is for you. #leadwithvalues Leo Glass, AFLV

The After Party Majestic D

Now that you experienced NBGLC, join us for the After Party! Learn about the people who are making a positive difference in the NBGLC community, and find out how to use your conference experience to join the effort. During this interactive session, participants will decide what impact they will have in their community, create a road map of how to get there, and develop a detailed action plan of the immediate next steps to take following the conference. #NPHCSuccess Dan Wrona, RISE Partnerships

You’ve got two options this summer: Mid-America: July 15-20, Lawrence, Kansas West: July 23-28, Los Angeles The LeaderShape Institute® works to help participants achieve four primary outcomes:

To increase their commitment to acting consistently with core ethical values, personal values, and convictions. To increase their capability to develop and enrich relationships as well as to increase their commitment to respecting the dignity and contribution of all people. To embrace the belief in a healthy disregard for the impossible. To develop the capability to produce extraordinary results.

The Opportunities for you to Serve are Expanding Faster Than We can Say “Global Community.” May 15-20, 2012: Tuscaloosa, Alabama May 26 - June 2, 2012: El Salvador These experiences bring together fraternity and sorority leaders from around the country in a week of service, cultural exploration, and values development in developing countries as well as domestic locations. It’s a different path to fraternal values clarification and leadership development. The program meets today’s student where they are; they provide a fresh and relevant approach to gaining a better understanding of values, ethics, global responsibility, power, privilege, and leadership.

You should come.
