2014 AFLV Central Program Book by Monica Ceja

get ready.

I have a new look on dealing with issues in the chapter. I am more motivated to deal with issues in my chapter. AFLV Central caused me to put a lot more thought into what my chapter is doing both internally and externally. This conference impacted me in so many ways, and it was humbling and encouraging to see that students from other schools want and feel the same things. The networking potential was outstanding! I was able to receive great advice on how to be a leader, and it inspired me to want to being along change in my council. AFLV Central made me realize many things, especially my fraternal values. I learned so much about how to live my values, how to recruit based on my chapter’s values, and realized I am not alone in the challenge of creating a better chapter. I now have the knowledge to make more changes within my community, and I am more excited than ever to get started on those changes! As a Panhellenic Officer, it inspired me to come back to my campus and make even more of a difference. It made me proud to be part of a prestigious executive board on my campus and made me want to do great things on my campus. I loved meeting new people and learning about other organizations outside of NPHC. It opened my eyes to new ideas regarding programming and about being part of an organization that was bigger than myself. I’m even prouder to be a part of a fraternity, and I’m so inspired to make necessary changes in my community and inspire others. It gave me insight into the bigger picture of fraternity/sorority life. I attended my chapter’s conference last year, but this is on a much larger scale. I was able to motivate my members to do better in their organizations. It made me want to set goals and have high expectations for myself. I now have an action plan that I would like accomplish. It changed the way I look at not only my fraternity experience, but at life in general. I always leave the conference feeling inspired and empowered by the keynote speakers and educational sessions. I learned an incredible amount about effective communication and had the opportunity to network with leaders across the country that will help me in my collegiate and professional career. This conference was different than any other thing that I have been a part of with great opportunities to improve myself as a person as well for the betterment of my chapter and the council. It was awesome to realize how big fraternity/sorority life really is. It opened my eyes and made me realize that I can make a change and great impact in my community. I really would like to help change things in my chapter, and make it better as a whole. It made me a better leader and equipped me with the knowledge and tools to make my chapter better! It let me know that many things I believe were in the right place, and firmly placed a path in front of me to take to make my fraternity great. This conference summed up everything that we should be doing as fraternity and sorority members. I learned so much about leadership development and gained many new insights that will be valuable to my campus and the Panhellenic community. It completely motivated me and really made me realize that there are so many other motivated, fun, and ambitious people out there! It reminded me how much my chapter means to me and how special it is to be a part of it! I think everyone in my chapter needs to attend. It allowed me to meet other leaders and gain new perspective on fraternity/sorority life at my University. I was able to bring home new and fresh ideas that I will hopefully be able to implement soon! It made me understand the importance of Greek unity. It reaffirmed my values and inspired me to make more positive change. It gave me a ton of new ideas and motivated me to make some major improvements in my chapter this year. I learned valuable tools on how to keep my council positive and instill values in our whole community. I cannot wait I to take everything I learned at this conference back to my organization. This conference empowered me to lead my council efficiently and effectively. It made me realize that all of our NPHC organizations need to work together to get things accomplished on a larger scale.

How did this conference impact you?

table of contents standards policy To ensure that all AFLV 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. It is expected that each conference participant reads, understands, and follows conference behavior rules as well as appropriate federal, state, and local laws.

2 4 6 8

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. University officials and inter/national fraternities and sororities will be informed of the conduct and the individuals responsible. If any member of a council is asked to leave the hotel, that council may be suspended from attending future AFLV conferences. Additionally, if a 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.

conference info Alcoholic Beverages

Alcoholic beverages may not be carried in hallways or elevators, and there will be no alcohol allowed in guests’ rooms. Any containers found will be confiscated and turned in to hotel security. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed at any conference functions. Just like in every other state, the legal drinking age in the state of Indiana is 21 and is strictly enforced.

Award Recipients

Students and advisors wearing award recipient and/or finalist ribbons represent the councils which have applied and been selected to receive awards at the recognition banquet on Saturday. Ask these individuals about the outstanding work they are doing on their campuses, sign up for an awards consultation, and check out the AFLV Awards ed session on Saturday afternoon to join the cool kids club!

Conduct

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. See the Standards Policy on page 3 for more information and full details in case you don’t get it by now.

Conference Dress

Badge attire should be worn for all sessions of the conference except the NBGLC Stroll Competition. The Saturday evening banquet attire is a coat and tie for men and semi-formal dress for women. Follow us on Pinterest for examples of what is and is not appropriate to wear.

Daily Announcements

All updates on conference activities will be announced in the first general session each day. Also, you can join us in 2014 and follow AFLV on Twitter. If you wish to make a general announcement, the deadline is noon the previous day. Announcements should be submitted in writing to the conference office in Room 201/202.

Ed Session Evaluations

Provide feedback for each educational session using paper evaluations, which will be available in each session room. Evaluations are essential to the program presenter and help us make AFLV Central even better (if it’s possible). We really do care what you think. Return your completed session evaluations to the in-session volunteer, the program presenter, or to the registration desk in Griffin Hall. The overall conference evaluation will be available electronically immediately following the conference.

Emergencies

Please report injuries and illnesses to hotel security through the hotel operator and contact an AFLV Central Office staff member immediately. #AFLVCentral page 4

Meals

Conference registration includes lunch on Friday, lunch on Saturday, and the Recognition Banquet on Saturday. Your nametag will be your admission to all meals except for Saturday’s lunch. Designated meal tickets are issued to attendees based off of their registration and can be exchanged at the registration desk if available. No refunds are available for missed meals or lost nametags. Additional meal tickets can be purchased from the registration area.

Nametags

Nametags must be worn at all times. Nametags are your admission ticket to all ed sessions, general sessions, meals, and any special events (seriously, all conference events). If you lose your nametag, you will be charged a $20 replacement fee, so don’t lose it!

Parking

The conference parking rate for attendees is $21.00 per car per day for self parking and $35.00 per car per day for valet (oh you fancy, huh?). If you have questions or need special parking arrangements, contact the JW Marriott.

Promptness

Please arrive early to the educational sessions because many sessions fill up quickly! Think about it: if there’s a session you’re super excited to attend, there’s a pretty good chance dozens or even hundreds of other people are also super excited. Time is allowed between sessions to ask questions, get presenter contact information, etc. Because seating capacity is limited for some rooms, sessions could close, so plan ahead and arrive early!

Questions

Find any member of our intern team, Conference Committee, or Central Office staff if you have questions. All of our team members are easily identified by our beautiful, prestigious, silver AFLV nametags.

Registration

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

Stroll Practice

Practice for the NBGLC stroll competition is not allowed in hallways outside of sleeping rooms or breakout rooms that are in session. We know you’re determined to win, but it’s hard to sleep or learn when there’s strolling going on right outside! Teams will have time to practice in the White River Foyer on Thursday at 9:45 p.m. following the first educational program block.

hotel info Check In Check in is at 3:00 p.m. You will be able to leave your luggage at the bellman station if you arrive early. Check Out Check out on Sunday is at 11:00 a.m. You are able to expedite the process by checking out from the television in your room. If you need extra time, please make arrangements with the front desk. Bills All hotel guests are responsible for paying their hotel bills; although you are registered as being affiliated with AFLV, we will not assume any responsibility for your account while attending the conference. Tipping Tipping is at your discretion; however, we recommend a minimum of 15%. For bell service, please tip $2.00 per bag depending on the size and weight of each bag. Hotel Security The JW Marriott does everything it can to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable stay. Should an emergency arise, please dial the operator from any house phone. This goes directly to the hotel security department who will dispatch appropriate people to the scene. Lost and Found Please check with the hotel security staff or the conference office located in the registration area in Griffin Hall for lost and found items.

Using these icons is a great way to guide the decisions you make on which session to attend. Any participant is welcomed and encouraged to attend any session, regardless of category or conference. NBGLC

sponsored by CAMPUSPEAK, Inc.

9:00 - 10:30 a.m. | Grand Ballroom

Steve believes the most important element of creating change on campus is wrapped up in helping all of us understand how how broken our current reality is. In fact, he thinks that the things we hold to be the most constant—our ritual, social interactions, values, and campus culture—are completely misunderstood. Unless we understand the real depth of how broken our gravity is, we can never create change that lasts. Learn from Steve how you can question assumptions, be flexible, and communicate the story you want others to know about you and your organization.

AFLV Awards & Assessment Consultations for Potential Applicants 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. | Rooms 108 and 109

Looking for ways for your council to be recognized for its achievements? Need assessment and feedback to improve? Sounds like you’re ready to start participating in the AFLV Awards & Assessment programs! Visit registration in Griffin Hall to sign up for a meeting with our Awards & Assessment judges to learn how the process works. Be proactive and learn how to plan for next year!

what if all our members could have this experience? Too often, words like overwhelmed, directionless, and battle-torn end up characterizing the experience of fraternity/sorority professionals. If this is true for you, you might be stuck! People get stuck because the most ambitious work brings the most challenges. However, working to get unstuck, can be a catalyst for professional rediscovery. If you’re stuck, let’s do something about it. We’ll help you diagnose your situation and identify implementation strategies to get things back on track. Ryan O’Rourke, AFA, ryan@afa1976.org

Bridging the GAAP in Academics Room 204 | Program #032

Stuck in a rut with your chapter’s academic programming? Are unmotivated chapter members dragging your chapter GPA down? Academic achievement is one of the values—and expectations— of being a fraternity or sorority member. We feel pressure from everyone—inter/national organizations, advisers, and university administrators—to excel scholastically, but we aren’t always provided with tangible resources for success. Iowa State University’s Office of Greek Affairs in collaboration with the Academic Success Center created the Greek Academic Achievement Plan for member chapters to reach their academic goals through realistic and achievable goals, both from an individual and group perspective. Learn how you can create meaningful partnerships and plans to reach your academic potential! Katy Cran, Iowa State University, kcran@iastate.edu

#BeingGreek on @SocialMedia Room 205 | Program #034

Social media has a high presence in the fraternity/sorority community especially in advertising, recruitment, and community. There has been a rise in Black Greek-Letter Organizations engaging in behaviors that would be deemed inappropriate by their institutions and organizations’ headquarters, which has resulted in many organizations creating a social media code of conduct for undergraduate chapters. This session will explore how social media has impacted the BGLO community, the implications of poor social media exposure, and provide insight on how to stay congruent with your organization’s mission through social media. Alexandria White, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville, alexwhi@siue.edu Brandon Hildreth, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas, brandon.hildreth@unlv.edu

Real Answers for Unmotivated Members ICC 125 | Program #050

Before you start whining that everyone in your chapter or community is apathetic, ask yourself one vital question: “What are we doing to actually get our members engaged and excited?” Are you leading organizations that make sense for today’s busy student, or is joining your chapter like joining the Marine Corps? Chances are, you could make some fundamental changes in your meetings, events, and in the way you manage your members that could get more people involved in a meaningful way. Let’s get rid of the word “mandatory” and focus on raising the quality of the average member’s experience. T.J. Sullivan, CAMPUSPEAK, sullivan@campuspeak.com

Pledging your Oath … Using Values to Teach New Member Education Room 313 | Program #045

Ritual teachings of values are a sacred component of fraternal organizations; yet, we don’t truly learn them until initiation. What if new members understood the values before initiation? What kind of members would we have if we stopped memorizing our history and learned its significance? This program shows how to incorporate the values of your organizations through stories and lessons into a high caliber and productive new member education program. You will leave with a new way to educate new members and learn ways to initiate members who understand why you were founded before they ever took the oath of lifetime commitment. The program will show you a method to create a recommitment to your ritual program with your active membership. No ritual is revealed. Alex Snowden, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, asnowden@iupui.edu

14 Unorthodox Ways to Evaluate a Chapter or a Council Room 209 | Program #040

Traditional evaluations often involve objective criteria compiled through surveys. But there are other ways to evaluate a chapter or a council. From the composite photos to seating at conferences and workshops to your website, people are watching, listening and evaluating your organization. And the observations and perceptions can be more accurate than surveys or applications. Join us to share your “little things that count as big things” discussion. David Westol, Limberlost Consulting, Inc., David.Westol@gmail.com

Going APE as a Greek Leader! Room 208 | Program #039

What makes one chapter 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 works selflessly to provide the best 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. David Coleman, Coleman Productions, brooke@colemanproductions.com

featured speakers Michelle Guobadia

Be a Dream Maker: Your Role in Making Fraternity/Sorority Life Great White River E

In her typical candid style, Michelle will provide a wake-up call for your members who are coasting on their status or who are senselessly participating in destructive behavior, like hazing, abusive drinking, assault and poor academics. Michelle speaks from a level of authority, not only as a lifelong member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., but as someone who has experienced how negative behavior destroys a chapter. She now confronts the “dream killers” of fraternity/sorority life: those whose actions destroy the values and original aspirations of founding members. You will leave Michelle’s keynote knowing your power to bring your community up. She will encourage better choices. She will ask members of all groups to take critical look at the roles they play in making sure fraternity/sorority communities survive and thrive.

Becoming a Better Leader: Staying in “the Mess” White River F Many people look to leaders to show the way out of difficult situations, problems, and chaos—”messes.” Paul believes this is wrong. A leader’s role is the complete opposite. It is to help people stay in the hard conversations and difficulties surrounding leadership and leading so that we reach better solutions and consensus. Leading is not easy and that is okay. We will focus on how we can become comfortable with the mess and not look for the easy six-step process to becoming a better leader.

This presentation will explore the various TOMS Campus Programs resources, activities, and assets specific to the fraternity/sorority community. Participants will hear about various past activations in the fraternity and sorority realm and discuss the future of TOMS Greek Life activations and resources.

“Why do I need to attend NPHC meetings? They serve no purpose and I have everything I need in my chapter. My grad chapter gives me the support I need.” Ever heard this before? Not sure how to combat apathy when it comes to council involvement or how to get chapters to work together? This session is for you. We will discuss the changing face of NPHC on college campuses and how you can utilize the council to effectively impact your organizations and the larger student body.

The program will use real world case studies to help you better understand the rights and responsibilities of being part of a brother or sisterhood. You will leave empowered with action steps to improve yourself and your chapter. Bryant Smith, The Harbor Institute, bearnest@theharborinstitute.com

Recruitment Research Results Revealed White River I/J | Program #056

Fraternities and sororities have existed for HUNDREDS of years, yet there is still so much we don’t know about a) Why do people join or not join? b) How do we get the best people to join? and c) How do we keep the best people in? The research division of Phired Up Productions, led by Dr. Colleen Coffey-Melchiorre, has been conducting intensive research over the last three years with chapters, inter/national organizations, and campuses in an attempt to learn real answers to those three important questions. Now you have the opportunity to learn the results and how they can change the way you lead your fraternal experience! Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, jessica@phiredup.com

Help! My Advisor Isn’t Affiliated! Best Practices for Leaders in MGC Room 311 | Program #043

Multicultural Greek Councils are often advised by professionals who are not affiliated with an MGC group. Yet it is integral to the health of the council to have an advisor that understands the rich cultural history of each chapter and the expectations of MGC from an administrative perspective. This workshop will provide student leaders with concrete steps to take in successfully working with advisors of multicultural greek councils. Leaders will walk away with resources on defining expectations and tips to effectively serve as a liaison between advisors and their council.

Hey NPHC, Check Your Leadership Ego Room 309/310 | Program #051

Hey Superman, take off your cape. Hey Miley, put your tongue back in your mouth. Hey NPHC leaders, put away your ego. In this session, students will be asked to think about leadership differently by considering this concept: authentic leadership is about using your experiences, your shortcomings and lessons learned to make yourself appear more human to your bruhs and sorors. In this manner, you earn far more respect and admiration than you would from trying to be a leader who is a flawless hero. In turn, the bonds you form in your fraternities and sororities are tighter and the greater the influence you can have on one another.

Moving Your Organization from Good to Great Room 101/102 | Program #030

Most of our organizations—whether we’re talking about a fraternity/ sorority chapter, a council or other organizations we join on campus— are good organizations. If they weren’t, they probably wouldn’t be here. But isn’t it our job as leaders to improve the organizations we serve? What if we intentionally made an effort to move our organization from good to great? Using lessons from Jim Collins and his book, Good to Great we will discuss eggs, flywheels, hedgehogs, buses, and other essentials of transforming your organization. Bring an open mind and lots of space to take notes; this program may transform your approach to leadership!

Take the WORRY Out of College Life: Dealing with Nagging Stressful Thoughts Room 314 | Program #031

How many times have you crawled into bed for a good night’s sleep only to find that you can’t shut down your brain? Thoughts like, “I don’t have enough time to balance my schoolwork with my fraternity/sorority position” or “I need to prepare better for graduation” nag at you. By this point in your college career, you have been told to deal with daily stress by eating healthy, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep. While this is all useful information, it misses one of the most prevalent sources of stress for active students: WORRISOME THOUGHTS! This program addresses the power of tireless worry in creating physical and emotional stress. Drawing on three practical steps, students learn how to identify, rewrite, and shift disempowering worry.

#AFLVCentral page 24

The Interfraternity Council on a campus is a unique governing body that must balance advocacy, collaboration, education and accountability with individual chapters’ desires for independent operations. Much of this comes to a head during recruitment. This program will discuss the role of the IFC in fraternity recruitment on campus. The IFC has the power to address the big issues of recruitment (alcohol, women, and academic issues), but too often IFCs choose not to. This program will discuss how to deal with those issues and maintain an open, natural, free market approach to recruitment. Additionally, the session will discuss how the IFC can positively support its fraternities’ recruitment efforts through effective public relations efforts, pre- and postevaluation, and a focus on building community.

Relationships with the opposite sex—they are a part of our everyday life. Many of us question things about men and women: Why do men say they will call and then don’t? Why do women go to the bathroom in pairs? Why doesn’t text messaging count as verbal communication? Why is being FBO so important? In this program, we will explore biology, stereotypes, and communication theory in an effort to help both men and women understand development and the opposite sex. Healthy relationships are essential throughout life and college is where you learn who you are and what you need from someone else in a relationship. This keynote is full of laughs as well as important messages about self-esteem.

Your chapter got through its largest event successfully, but after that, member participation has significantly dwindled and you are left wondering, “Now what?” There will always be a high level of excitement and energy at the beginning of the year, but the “honeymoon” phase can fade over time and negatively affect chapters. This session will specifically identify different types of motivation, discuss the impacts that incentives have on membership participation and explore how consumerism and “The Five Exemplary Practices of Leadership” from Kouzes and Posner’s The Leadership Challenge play a role in motivating, retaining and recruiting members. Students will engage in small and large group activities that will facilitate further discussion on motivation, incentives, retention, and recruitment.

In her popular book, Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg suggests that while women in the U.S. are better off than ever, there are still external and internal barriers keeping women from being treated as equally as men. College is an important time for women to begin identifying what goals fit their lives, values, and dreams and to start leaning in to opportunities and experiences that will help them to be ambitious in any pursuit. During this session we will engage in a group dialogue around how the strategies that Sandberg suggests can be applied on a personal, chapter, and community level to help narrow the leadership ambition gap between women and men and help encourage women to pursue any goal vigorously.

Presenter Sam Davidson blends humor and meaningful suggestions for ways that any fraternal organization can become better by working together with those inside and outside of the chapter. Attendees will learn how to build meaningful alliances across campus, have healthy (and not harmful) rivalries with other chapters, and create new philanthropic traditions that help raise money and awareness for causes that align with a fraternity’s founding values or existing philanthropy. Each of us is better when we work together. Sam shares how anyone can do just that.

Welcome Home—Expanding Membership of a Multicultural Greek Council

Behind Happy Faces: Taking Charge of Your Mental Health

In the midst of overlapping interests amongst cultural organizations, preexisting national alliances, and council/university expansion regulations, it seems impossible for a Multicultural Greek Council to expand easily or effectively. Interested in bringing a new organization to campus but not sure how to welcome them into your MGC family? Don’t know how to balance university, umbrella association, and current organizations’ requirements and voices in the expansion process? Join campus-based professionals and current students to learn how to assess the expansion needs of your community, craft a new expansion policy (or work within an existing one), tackle “competing interest” organizations, respect national umbrella associations (NAPA, NALFO, and NMGC), and introduce a new organization to the council, all while continuing the success of your current MGC organizations.

Mental health issues cause a lot of questions and uncertainty in chapters. Twenty-five percent of college students have a mental health disorder. The most common disorders are anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Students without a diagnosable disorder are dealing with stress, lack of sleep, and other mental health issues. It’s difficult to know how to respond to these issues and what resources are available. This session offers practical solutions to the biggest mental health challenges. Participants will have an honest conversation about why people aren’t seeking help, better understand how to achieve positive mental health, and learn the important steps of how to help a friend who is in crisis.

Retaining members to initiation is a major challenge on many campuses, but retaining them through graduation is our ultimate goal. There are several key strategies you can utilize to not only keep your members, but prepare them to be truly successful!

This session will include a panel of current collegiate inter/national officers who will speak to their experiences and the importance of getting involved with the organization on a national level. The panel will include a question and answer as well as information on steps taken to get elected into the positions. DeShaun Artis, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., deshaun.artis@gmail.com

Making Greek Life Matter White River E It doesn’t take courage to “Go Greek.” It takes courage to be a “Great Greek!” It’s time to “stand up” and become the type of people you know you can and should be. It is time for the fluff and rhetoric to end and for integrity and action to begin. You have the opportunity to choose your attitude every day and will come to understand the importance of that decision and the power that it wields. We’ll cover treating people with dignity and respect, understanding what brotherhood and sisterhood mean, the stages of development you experience, the five phases of interpersonal relationships, the five characteristics of healthy relationships, and how to develop a picture in your heart that will fill you with amazing memories.

Building TRUE Brotherhood/ Sisterhood White River F If we understand, value, and nurture our membership, great things will happen! This powerful, thought-provoking, humorous, WORKshop addresses an issue rarely discussed amongst fraternities and sororities— treating each other with respect and dignity.

You will leave with an “action plan” for improving yourself and your organization and a better understanding of and appreciation for our differences. This is for those who care about building “model organizations.

Huh?! Making Sense of RFM

Being busy in college is awesome, and some of the best experiences you can have are the times being fully involved in an organization. But after college, those groups disappear. Then you have to be a real person, on your own, without having “our president” or “my brother/ sister” before your name. The sad fact of the real world is your social, personal, and wellness hub won’t be your chapter anymore. Finding friends, continuing your workouts, and challenging your mind in the postgrad world can be tough. So why not start now? By finding out how to balance social, spiritual physical, mental, and sleep now, you’ll set yourself up for success when you strike out on your own.

RFM has changed the landscape of Panhellenic recruitment across the country, but have you ever wondered why your RFM specialist makes the suggestions she does? Do you want to know the why behind evaluating and adjusting campus total and making recruitment format changes? What about how to improve retention during recruitment or how to best assist an incoming group during an extension? Learn about current statistics and trends and figure out how to best apply them to your campus.

What does it Mean to be a Real Black Man or Woman?: Hazing in the NPHC Community Room 312 | Program #092

Through student testimonials, videos, and a social-historical investigation, participants will examine the reasons why NPHC organizations participate in hazing activities and what prevents our organizations and members from standing up to hazing. Participants will discuss the values that we teach during the membership intake process and how these values align with or contradict the values of our organizations and our members. Additionally, participants will deconstruct the ideas of black masculinity and femininity and how hazing contributes to the continued disempowerment of black men and women in our society.

Philanthropy and Service: What’s Dime Wars Got to do with It? Room 311 | Program #091

Is your chapter known more for the dance competition it hosts than the organization it raises money for? Would the people you are raising money for feel comfortable attending your events? Does your dime war competition raise awareness for your cause? Using Simon Sinek’s “Start with Why,” we will talk about the importance of communicating the “why” before the “how.” Learn about Virginia Tech’s journey in changing the conversation around philanthropy and service and its impact on our community.

Not 4 Years, But 4 Life—Making the Last Year Count

RESPONSE ABILITY: Being an Every|Day Hero

What are seniors looking for their last year in college? How are we meeting the needs of our seniors? This presentation will share resources on how to engage seniors through programs about career services, valuing their experiences, and active participation’s effects on retention. It is important that seniors feel programming is relevant. Participants will also discuss ways for seniors to engage in chapter events that avoid putting younger members in uncomfortable or inappropriate situations. The session will be concluded with an interactive opportunity for participants to create senior-engaged programming related to their campus environment.

Have you ever wanted to make THE difference for someone in a moment of need—but you didn’t? Have you ever wanted others to step in and make THE difference for you—but they didn’t? Most of the problem behaviors we see and experience—like hazing, bullying, drug/ alcohol abuse, sexual violence, discrimination and other everyday life issues—have bystanders who don’t intervene. What if you were able to go past your fears, own your personal power, and use a set of tools to intervene in problem situations? In this session, you will get all of this and be empowered to go out and be an everyday hero on your campus and in your life.

Shaking Hands & Kissing Babies: Network Like a Boss Room 308 | Program #090

One of the biggest selling points for joining a fraternity or sorority is the networking opportunities that you’ll have when you graduate. While this is very true, we never actually talk about how to engage in those conversations and miss out on a huge opportunity. As we know, the world is more about who you know than what you know. People are getting jobs because they know somebody who knows somebody. The art of small talk is dying because of social media. However, decision makers in your future jobs didn’t have that growing up. They still value good old fashioned conversations. Come to this session to learn how to get the most out of your network and how to explain it during recruitment. James Robilotta, CAMPUSPEAK/Iota Phi Theta, Inc., JTRobo@gmail.com

Can I See You in My Office? Room 313 | Program #093

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

RBC: More than a Recruitment Guide—Training our Recruitment Counselors the Right Way Room 103/104 | Program #096

They’ve been called an educator of recruits, counselor of distressed students, monitor of recruitment activities, occasional bearer of bad news, coach, friend, mentor—the list goes on and on!

ALL IN: Finding Motivation & Overcoming Fear in Your Busy Life Room 309/310 | Program #100

Do you want to make a difference in your chapter, on campus, in your life? We all do, and then life bumps into us, stress and doubt creep in and we put difference-making off. The tendency is to start with awesome intentions and then find better excuses. The secret is to develop tools now and habitually hone your ability to self motivate. Your generation is blessed with vast intelligence and ability. The problem is often finding the motivation to act in the face of pressure. In fact, society has recognized this phenomenon and labeled you and your peers as the “Lost Generation.” However, this moniker need not stick or be accurate. You can and should push back. This presentation provides a kick start in your life through discussions of sacrifice, values, priorities and perspective. Corey Ciocchetti, CAMPUSPEAK, coreyciocchetti@gmail.com

friday, february 7 Maximizing Formal Recruitment through Social Excellence White River G/H | Program #104

Sororities are in the relationship business. The reason people join, stay in, and leave sororities is because of the relationships. In order to be successful in formal recruitment, we need to be extraordinary at one thing–connecting and building meaningful relationships with potential members. Most of us have gotten really good at faking our way through a surface-level, five-minute conversation: we’ve mastered the art of surviving recruitment by merely going through the motions. In order to select the highest quality candidates for membership, we can no longer rely on short, superficial conversations–we have to depend on conversations where we build meaningful connections and relationships. The Phired Up sorority recruitment experts will show you how, using Social Excellence principles and conversation tactics, to maximize every recruitment conversation!

How To Make Each Other Better ICC 125 | Program #084

From the day we first step foot on campus, who we choose to surround ourselves with plays a vital role in our lives and careers. It can be the difference between success and failure. In this talk, Antonio Neves zeroes in on how to build your network with “allies of glory,” those people that are vested in your success and who inspire, challenge and hold you accountable to be the absolute best version of yourself. We also learn how to identify energy-zapping “thieves of ambition,” those who accept the status quo and hold us back from greatness. Identifying who makes you better can take one from living a good life to a great one. Antonio Neves, CAMPUSPEAK, antonio@thinqaction.com

The Gift & the Curse: Young, Talented, and Overextended Leaders White River I/J | Program #105

Although vision, motivation, ambition, and hard work are the elements for success, they must be tempered with focus.

You will learn strategies to prioritize your obligations, decrease your commitments, and ultimately increase your overall impact as a student leader. Throughout the process, you will also learn how to decrease student apathy by targeting different sections of the student body to increase overall participation.

Navigating Life’s Choices: Exploring Life Balance Room 206 | Program #112

In a world where overprogramming is normal and being “too busy” is expected, students struggle with how to ‘get it all done’. Often priorities blur and personal wellness takes a backseat to checking off a to-do list. With little hope of the demands on students decreasing, the only answer is to achieve a sense of balance in their life. Contrary to popular belief, there is not one solution to life balance; it is a personal journey. This session will challenge individuals to identify their priorities, determine where they spend their time, and recognize imbalance in their life. Through interactive conversation and self-reflection participants will take their first steps to developing life balance over time. Rachel Marsh, Chi Omega, Rachel.w.marsh@gmail.com

friday, february 7 RESPONSE ABILITY: Diving Deeper into Bystander Behavior and Intervention Room 302/303 | Program #124

Many of us have a basic understanding of bystander intervention. However, there are questions still to be answered: Why do we stand by? Why do we sell out our own values and do nothing—or at least not enough? Why are there so many bystanders and so few heroes? To begin to answer these questions, we dive deeper and explore what actually causes bystander behavior along with the qualities we can develop so that we are “Heroes in Waiting.” Based on the 24 character strengths of the Positive Psychology movement, we cover the 7 significant strengths that contribute to heroism—allowing someone to be prepared to take an action in a moment of need.

Mixed Drinks, Mixed Emotions; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Room 306 | Program #117

How many times have you seen a friend openly discuss all of their emotions while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and never talk about it again? Over two-thirds of young people with a substance use disorder have a co-occurring mental health issue. It’s important to focus on the reasons why students may be binge drinking, abusing substances, driving under the influence, and engaging in negative behavior. Anxiety and depression are the leading contributors to substance abuse. It’s helpful for students to learn more about the symptoms of these disorders in order to be able to educate others about these issues in their chapters. This program addresses the ties between substance abuse, emotional suppression and mental health. Ross Szabo, CAMPUSPEAK, ross.szabo@gmail.com

Caring For Your Organization Family Room 101/102 | Program #106

Sure, we throw around words like brotherhood and sisterhood, but do we as leaders really recognize our role in serving them? As leaders it’s important that we care about our members in ways that engenders a family atmosphere. Come join the conversation and let’s leave with real-world steps to servant leadership. Your members will appreciate your participation in this discussion. Rick Barnes, CAMPUSPEAK, rick@rickbarnespresents.com

featured speakers Jessica Pettitt

If Not Us, Then Who? Let’s Rise White River E It was President Johnson that first looked to higher education to be the “great equalizer” for civil rights. The idea was that once everyone had access to a college education, there would be no need for a privileged class. 50 years later, we still wonder when things are going to change, get better, or equal out. As a sorority member and community leader, Jess has decided to claim her responsibility and utilize her elite membership status to dismantle oppression and leave the world a better place. Join Jess for her highly motivating, yet realistic, social justice-based, actionoriented message where no excuses or limitations are needed. If access to a higher education is truly about leadership, moral development, and service, then we have a lot of catching up to do. If not us, then who?

How To Be Less Awkward & Communicate Like A Pro ICC 125 | Program #111

As a student, being able to communicate with confidence is the difference between getting people to believe in you and getting people to never remember you.

To get people to believe in you, you have to learn about telling your story, persuasion, and public speaking. In this program learn how to: develop your elevator pitch, build immediate rapport with strangers, convey confidence even when you’re freaked out, and how to become a better listener. You’ll walk in with the confidence of a desk chair, but you’ll leave with a new set of tools labeled “charisma.” Antonio Neves, CAMPUSPEAK, antonio@thinqaction.com

Dynamic Recruitment Counselors

The Power of Five Percent: Getting Every Member Active

Cross-Council Partnerships

Sorority recruitment counselors might be the most important and integral part of a successful sorority recruitment process. These positions should be one of the most significant and coveted positions within our sorority communities attracting our very best leaders. All too often, these positions are a way for sorority women to “get out of” recruiting or serve as a means to impact their own chapter’s recruitment success. Regardless of why women are choosing to become recruitment counselors, you have the power to impact the culture of this integral role in a positive way. Taking a more intentional and strategic approach in the recruitment, selection, training, and expectations of recruitment counselors can transform sorority recruitment counselors into a role of significance. We’ll give you specific examples, tools, and strategies to help you build a Dynamic Recruitment counselor team, year after year, for your community.

How do you get members to care enough to contribute when their motivation 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 accountability to get anything done? Find out what the people who study motivation, group dynamics, and human interaction have to say about it. Join us to develop skills and strategies for getting the most underinvolved member to contribute. Discover the power of five percent and learn how to create an atmosphere where every member raises their hand when it’s time to volunteer.

An effective campus NPHC will find opportunities to learn and develop within the Divine 9 organizations and within the larger fraternity/sorority community. This session will help participants learn about effective ways to partner with Panhellenic, Interfraternity, and Multicultural governing councils and will focus on the opportunities to teach and learn about one another. The overall NPHC experience can be enhanced through effective cross-council partnerships and programming.

In this session, participants will experience growth strategies for culturally-focused groups based on human connection and a systematic social networking strategy.

Fraternities & sororities have been on American college campuses for over 200 years, shaping the experiences of millions of men and women just like you. Today, there is a debate between advocates of the fraternity/sorority experience and those who feel it’s more harmful than beneficial. The truth is, when we live up to the dreams of our founders, our communities provide one of the best leadership and values-building experiences available. But, that takes a deliberate commitment to building diverse, relevant fraternities and sororities that work together, add to the campus, and fulfill our missions. Rick will challenge you to collaborate toward higher performance and standards for everyone.

Black Greek-Lettered Organizations and the “T” Room 204 | Program #138

Since the early conception of Black Greek-Lettered Organizations (BGLOs), they have historically operated under the binary system of being exclusively men-only and women-only organizations. As these organizations struggle to break the stigmas surrounding exclusivity and acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual members, the notion of prospective transgender members is hardly discussed. Since the transgender community is rapidly growing on college campuses, BGLOs should begin thinking of ways to be inclusive and supportive for transgender members and those seeking membership. This session will engage leaders of BGLOs in dialogue around challenging misconceptions of the transgender community, exploring the realities that transgendered individuals exist within these organizations already, and ways to be more inclusive and accepting of transgender members and prospective members.

A Time for Leadership: How to Master your Role as a new Governing Council Leader Room 308 | Program #142

You already know how to be a leader in your chapter, but how do you come together with other students to effectively lead your fraternity or sorority community? Being elected to an executive board for a governing council is often an unfamiliar journey working with student leaders you may or may not know. We are here to provide you with the tools needed to be a successful governing council leader. We will address establishing trust, different leadership styles, communication, and accountability. This program will help you develop in your new leadership role. Thad Doyle, The The University of Akron, tmdoyle@uakron.edu Katelin Getz, The The University of Akron, klg21@uakron.edu

Your Major Doesn’t Matter: What Employers Really Want and How to Be It Room 209 | Program #140

Research is telling us that top employers don’t really care what your academic major is, just that you have a degree. They don’t really pay attention how good your GPA is or what school you went to, either. What employers are really looking for from men and women coming out of college is leadership and social skills, the ability to engage in meaningful and thoughtful conversation, and a level of excellence in their social abilities. Well, that’s good news and that’s bad news–because as you may have already realized, you didn’t take a class called “Making Friends 101” in college. Don’t worry, your friends at Phired Up have all the stuff you’ll need to make a great impression, ace the interview, and land the job you want through a new level of Social Excellence. Jessica Gendron Williams, Phired Up Productions, jessica@phiredup.com

Exploring the Thirds of Your Organization Room 313 | Program #145

Every organization has its top leaders and its members who just don’t seem to care. What about everyone in the middle? Discover what the thirds are and what you can do as a student leader to fight apathy in your organization and motivate your members. This session will give you a head start to create change, improve morale and tap into new productivity. Whether you are a new or experienced leader, everyone will benefit from the discussion and activities. At the end, students will be equipped with the skills to know where the members of their organizations fit in the puzzle of thirds.

Election Day is Everyday: The Campaign for Your Future Starts Now! Room 206 | Program #132

It seems that every time we turn around a new campaign is starting and everyone claims it is the most important we have ever had. The never-ending campaign cycle coupled with 24-hour media and our addiction to social media makes it impossible to get away from it all. In this program Lonnie will teach attendees about the political aspects of our own life and how to use proven campaign methods to achieve their goals. Like it or not, politics surrounds us. Whether it is office politics, the politics of family life, or really running for office, the skills Lonnie teaches in this program are important for everyone!

Redefining Brotherhood Room 311 | Program #143

Brotherhood can be described as the “currency of fraternity.” Chapters are selling it, and prospective members are buying it. But what is it? Ask any five chapter members to define brotherhood, and you are likely to get five different answers. This session is based on new research regarding brotherhood and will give participants an opportunity to gain a better understanding of brotherhood, and to understand how the various types of brotherhood impact other aspects of the fraternity experience. Joshua Schutts, University of West Florida, jschutts@uwf.edu

Teach a Greek to Fish and They Will Change the World Room 309/310 | Program #146

Do you want to change the world? Join the movement of “changemakers” who are working together to find new ways of understanding their purposes and roles in a global society. If every fraternity and sorority member thought like a “changemaker,” we would stop looking at how the world is and start making a world that could be. It’s time we stop serving others and start serving with others. It’s time our organizations stop donating hundreds of hours doing community service and start working on the real issues that make a need for this service. Social entrepreneurship utilizes these approaches to make sustainable changes in the world. Learn how you can be a “changemaker” in your organization, create innovative solutions, adapt new problem solving skills, and make a positive impact on your brothers and sisters, the community, and the world. Fraternities and sororities have the capacity to change the world, so let’s do it! Geori Berman, Theta Phi Alpha, georiberman.fsl@gmail.com Daniel Catalano, Miami University, catalad@miamioh.edu

Abuelitas Hands: New Lessons from Old Hands Room 312 | Program #144

Family is our foundation, and education is a family value. Everything you know, you learned from someone who came before you. You don’t even realize how you learned many of those lessons. This program talks about the significance of family; tradition; and the importance for us to work together, drive toward common goals, and be ethical in all we do. Our Abuelitas (grandmothers) sacrificed so that we would have opportunity, so let’s focus on your opportunities, your challenges, and overcome challenges together to achieve our dreams and those of the ones who came before us. Our Abuelitas, like our founders, laid a foundation; now let’s follow in their footsteps and build the future. Sam Centellas, La Casa de Amistad, Inc., sam@centellas.org

How do you stay afloat when the day-to-day campus hustle consumes your time? The ends cannot justify the means; the means are a telling indicator of how you’ll be remembered. This session focuses on how to successfully execute all your well-developed plans and will introduce participants to innovative strategies for accountability, communication, and motivation. Participants will engage with these strategies and create action plans for their implementation. James Ehrmann, University of Washington, jehrmann@uw.edu

Not Your Normal Diversity Presentation Room 101/102 | Program #147

Tired of the normal diversity presentations? Get ready to look at diversity differently. You will realize the power that a diverse community offers and understand the diverse perspective that each person in your chapter brings to it. You will walk away with: • An understanding of what leading through diversity really means • How to improve your chapters effectiveness through diversity • An overview of the four different social styles that exhibit greater levels of diversity • A readiness to take responsibility to communicate differences respectfully. Come learn why diversity is necessary for leaders! Justin Jones-Fosu, CAMPUSPEAK,, justin@justininspires.com

Embracing Real Beauty Room 203 | Program #149

According to fashion magazines, women should be six feet tall, a size zero, and in perfect proportion. Our culture’s obsession with “perfect looks” has begun to shape and change the way women feel about themselves. It needs to stop. If we continue to allow the media to define how a woman should act and look, we are faced with organizations where women never feel good enough the way they are. Join the conversation on how we can change our chapters, community, and campus to form strong confident sorority leaders. Stacy Nadeau, CAMPUSPEAK/Tri Delta, slnadeau@gmail.com

RBC: Building Brand Identity Room 103/104 | Program #148

Potential members? Learn how to have a values-based, effective, and coordinated branding campaign through your internet presence as well as all traditional means of advertising such as t-shirts, flyers, printed materials, etc. 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.

How to Be an Effective and Confident Speaker ICC 125 | Program #137

Being good at public speaking is a learnable skill, but many otherwise strong leaders are held back by their discomfort with it while others who may have less to offer are catapulted ahead on campus and in their career. In this session, Aaron Boe shares how he overcame his own fear of public speaking and eventually became a professional speaker. You will learn strategies for dealing with nervousness, how to be an effective facilitator, and how to structure a presentation so it has a greater impact. Whether you are already a confident speaker or it is your greatest fear, you will walk away with insights that change the way you think about being in front of an audience. Aaron Boe, Aaron Boe Productions, aaron@aaronboe.com

Check Your Leadership Ego ICC 126 | Program #153

Hey Superman, take off your cape. Hey Miley, put your tongue back in your mouth. Hey fraternity/sorority leaders, put away your ego. In this session, students will be asked to think about leadership differently by considering this concept: authentic leadership is about using your experiences, your shortcomings and lessons learned to make yourself appear more human to your bruhs and sorors. In this manner, you earn far more respect and admiration than you would from trying to be a leader who is a flawless hero. In turn, the bonds you form in your fraternities and sororities are tighter and the greater the influence you can have on one another.

“No” can be an incredibly inspiring word—just ask Kristen Hadeed, founder of Student Maid™. From being denied a bank loan to hearing others in the business world say her dream was impossible, Kristen learned that “no” can actually be empowering. That attitude is what has allowed Kristen to grow Student Maid™ from a small cleaning business to one that employs 350+ students and is rapidly expanding. Kristen believes that challenges offer tremendous opportunities for growth. “No” holds a lot of power—your reaction to it is what will determine your fate. Kristen inspires students to believe in themselves and overcome rejection so that they, too, can succeed at anything they set their minds to.

Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities: How the Best of the Best are Growing in Quantity and Quality White River G/H | Program #156

Growing in quantity and quality is not about blind luck. It’s a strategic, intentional, and holistic approach to growth. The best universities, businesses, and organizations in the world don’t wait for high-quality candidates to come to them. They consistently and strategically build a large network to selectively choose from throughout the year— whether formally through a large process or informally hand-selecting them. The best sorority chapters and communities are doing the same. For 10 years, Phired Up Productions has studied high-performing businesses, academic institutions, and sororities. The best of the best have some core philosophies in common that consistently result in high quantities of high quality people trying to get in. We’ll teach you exactly what they’re doing to attract, recruit, and select high quantities of high quality candidates.

True Life: I am an NPHC Member attending a PWI

Sick of hearing this tired old excuse? Handcuffed by “tradition?” Are you, your council, or your chapter stuck in a rut doing the same thing year after year? This session will explore the creative perspective, the creative thinking process, and perhaps most importantly, how to get started. Enhance your organizational and personal creativity by seeing new possibilities, generating new ideas, and coming closer together as a productive, effective team. Have fun in this crash course all about new ideas, where they come from, and why we have so much trouble getting them out of our head. Creatively challenged? Idea impaired? Remember, there’s always more than one right answer!

The purpose of this program is to identify ways in which NPHC members can navigate through their institutions and maximize the potential of their councils. We will be exploring stereotypes NPHC members face day to day on a PWI and the current health of the council on their individual campuses. Additionally, we will identify ways to grow connections with the administration and other students on campus.

Farming Talent: Creating and Effectively Utilizing Networks of Future Campus Leaders Room 204 | Program #158

Some of the best professional sports organizations maintain a consistent level of success because they recognize the need to develop talent at an amateur level. The consequences of not doing so can produce multiple losing or “rebuilding” seasons. Similarly, the consequences of not developing talent on your campus can produce council elections that feature a minimum amount of applicants, or worse, not enough applicants for all positions. If we truly believe our communities are great, then we should never have to worry about the quality of leaders available. How are you grooming future council leaders? Learn how you can build a stronger, more-qualified pool of applicants who will carry the momentum from your term. James Ehrmann, University of Washington, jehrmann@uw.edu

Out with the Old, In with the New: Creating a Smooth Officer Transition Room 304/305 | Program #168

saturday, february 8 Hazed & Confused ICC 125 | Program #173

Within three months, two pledges from Erle Morring’s fraternity died. As a chapter and IFC officer, Erle knew changes were needed. The fraternity culture on his campus was so immersed in hazing and institutionalized alcohol abuse, he knew more deaths were imminent. With disturbing frankness, he tells of the lineups, the visitations, the spotlight and hotbox parties, the yelling, the cussing and the intimidation. By passionately sharing his amazing story, Erle draws the audience into the experiences that forever changed his view of fraternity and the values of fraternity life. Participants will leave with the tools, ideas, and motivation to address hazing on their campus. Erle Morring, CAMPUSPEAK, emorring@aol.com

Advising: Walking the Line Between being a Hypocrite and being a Role Model ICC 126 | Program #179

Do you want to set your incoming officers up for success? Are you a new leader eager to hit the ground running? Whether you are an incoming or outgoing officer, this session is filled with tips and ideas to help you make a smooth transition between your leadership. This is a great opportunity to share your experiences with your peers and get new ideas for your chapter or council. Learn from those before you and inspire those who come after you by spending a day in another officer’s shoes.

Hey Batman, take off your mask. Hey Cher, take off your wig. Hey advisors, put away your ego. Come to this session to learn how being an authentic leader will earn you way more respect and admiration than trying to be an advisor who is a flawless hero. Authentic leadership is all about using your shortcomings, experiences you’ve had, and lessons you’ve learned, to make yourself appear human to your students. Stop being scared of your students finding out about your past, and instead, use your previous not-so-smart decisions to be more relatable.

More than Just “Philanthropy”

Clearing Up Blurred Lines-How To Be A Good Chapter: NPC Edition

Kevin Bazner, Midwestern State University, kevin.bazner@mwsu.edu Ana Miller, National Panhellenic Council, ana.miller2@gmail.com

Room 309/310 | Program #163

We’ve all had service requirements before. Therefore, we’re programmed to think of the terms “philanthropy” and “service” as requirements or just something to mark off your checklist. If we can redefine those terms to be a lifestyle choice rather than a requirement, then we can really make an impact. I turned a required internship at Make-A-Wish into a national organization called Headbands of Hope that gives headbands to girls battling cancer. It’s not because I was required to do it; it’s because I saw a need. We’re so worried about crossing service off our list that we forget the purpose behind it. If we can transform the way we approach philanthropy, we can do a lot more than cross off a checklist. Jessica Ekstrom, CAMPUSPEAK, jessica@headbandsofhope.org #AFLVCentral page 42

Product Knowledge: Talking about Sorority in a Compelling Way White River G/H | Program #182

Tell me about your sorority! [How would your members respond?] Talking about our organizations, the stuff that we do, and the commitments and expectations of membership are an important part of getting women to join our sororities. In this session from the recruitment experts at Phired Up, participants will learn to prepare their sorority members with compelling, emotional, and inspirational methods of communicating the VALUE and VALUES of their organizations to potential members. Members need confidence and poise when they talk about their organization, and more than that, they need to emotionally connect with potential members and help those potential members imagine themselves as part of the chapter. Further, members need to know how to handle the most common concerns PNMs have about joining. There are proven ways to do this effectively, and this session will reveal those secrets.

Global Engagement: Sorority Communities Impacting Girls Education Worldwide White River I/J | Program #183

Most sororities were founded in the 19th century because of very real obstacles to women achieving a college education. Sorority Founders bound together fiercely to fight for their right to education. Today, more than 160 years later, sorority communities across the U.S. are engaged in a new global humanitarian effort to remove barriers to education for girls in the developing world. This movement by sorority women has had an impact in 15 countries on 4 continents in just 3 years. This session will expose participants to the critical issues of impoverished and oppressed women around the world and a national movement by sorority women to positively impact our global community by removing barriers to education for girls through the Circle of Sisterhood.

Saturday, february 8 Closing the Situational Gap Room 302/303 | Program #167

Are you realizing now that your leadership position requires you to adapt to numerous people, situations, tasks and responsibilities—sometimes all at the same time? Come learn how to be a situational leader! As the name implies, situational leadership focuses on adapting your leadership style to a variety of situations. The premise of this leadership theory is that different situations, as well as different members of your council or chapter, will require different styles of leadership. Situational leadership is a necessary skill for fraternity/sorority leaders 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.

Choose to Shine: Making a Difference in College Room 309/310 | Program #185

During the summer of 2011, I interned at the Make-a-Wish Foundation. As I interacted with children facing life-threatening illnesses, I discovered that girls loved to wear headbands after losing their hair to chemotherapy. Therefore, I founded Headbands of Hope. For every headband purchased, one goes to a girl with cancer, and $1 is donated to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. I launched Headbands of Hope at the end of my junior year. Since then, it has been featured on the Today Show, TOMS Shoes Blog, Fitness Magazine online, and more. The publicity is great, but the thousands of smiles I created mean much more. Throughout this session, we’ll explore social entrepreneurship and how college is the perfect time to start something you believe in. Jessica Ekstrom, CAMPUSPEAK, jessica@headbandsofhope.org

Walking the Talk: Utilizing Our Creed as a Tool for Bystander Intervention Room 208 | Program #188

Sexual violence is a growing area of concern on college campuses; yet, many of us struggle to find avenues that are both comfortable and meaningful in order to prevent violence in our community. How can we overcome this? As values-based organizations, we are called on to not only live out our personal values set, but that of our fraternity/ sorority. Could the answer to intervening during high-risk situations be found in the language of our organizations’ creeds? This program will connect language of our creeds to active bystander behavior to provide attendees with the tools necessary to step in and prevent violence on campus.

saturday, february 8 The Inclusive We: Reframing BLGOs’ Relevance In a Multicultural Environment Room 311 | Program #191

Black fraternities and sororities once served an important role in supporting Black men and women throughout their collegiate and post-college experiences. Our organizations provided members access to resources which facilitated inclusion in various aspects of everyday life. Shifts in policy, attitudes, and beliefs that created multiculturalism have left a gap that has yet to be addressed by our organizations. What is the social importance of BGLOs? This presentation tackles this question and examines ways for Black fraternities and sororities to demonstrate their significance in today’s society.

To Live In or Not to Live In? The Cost to Your Health of Living in a Panhellenic Facility Room 312 | Program #192

For many Panhellenic women just starting their sorority experiences, living in a chapter house is an exciting opportunity that holds the promise of being an unforgettable experience. But years later, their excitement is often replaced by frustration and burnout. Why is that? Based on the recent results of an assessment of potential health risks and benefits to living in a Panhellenic chapter house at Iowa State University, this session focuses on the impact living in a chapter facility can have on academics, friendships, and personal well-being. Participants will begin to gain a basic understanding of what can be done to better ensure the health and safety of women “living in.” Jenni McDermott, Iowa State University, jennimcd@iastate.edu Katy Cran, Iowa State University, kcran@iastate.edu

The ABCs of Creating Hazing-Free Zones

Getting out of the Fraternity/Sorority Bubble

What are EXCUSES? : Taking NPHC to the Next Level

In this inspirational, dynamic presentation, Traciana Graves shares her experience of losing her 19-year-old brother in a horrific hazing incident in which hundreds of bystanders stood by and did nothing. Today, hazing affects EVERY campus organization. Through interactive discussion, students will explore how they can avoid harmful hazing incidents and initiatives that can be potentially demeaning. Students will also affirm the positive core values that characterize the activities of their chapters so that they can help to clarify mainstream misconceptions that portray negative hazing incidents as a purely “fraternity/sorority problem.”

Fraternity/sorority events are awesome: lots of food, great friends, and an excuse to hang with that cutie in the other council! There is no doubt that these are the bomb.com, but can a fraternity/sorority community’s programming be sustained off these internal events? Learn why getting out of your bubble and working with nonfraternal organizations will not only help your community survive, but prosper.

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 are holding your campus NPHC back from advancing. Using community building, model behavior, and The Five Principles 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 likeminded individuals, and goals to succeed because there are no excuses.

If I Could Reach One Person … White River A | Program #201

It’s a reassuring phrase, but it’s not something you would want to hear from a trained professional. To be taken seriously, fraternity/sorority professionals must be prepared to critically evaluate the impact of educational initiatives. Doing so requires tools to demonstrate return on investment, deliberate practice with measurement techniques, and insight into the best ways to improve program effectiveness. This session builds upon an ROI case study session at the 2013 AFA Annual Meeting.

How Fraternities and Sororities Can Take the Lead to Prevent Sexual Assault White River B | Program #202

Sexual assault is one of the top social issues of our time, and the fraternity/sorority community is in an ideal position to do something about it. You will learn from prevention expert Aaron Boe why taking the lead in a positive way fits perfectly into our mission and values, why fraternity men are a critical part of the solution, common misconceptions regarding alcohol and sexual assault, and the three critical concepts to include in new member education. You will learn important concepts like how common but outdated thinking on the issue actually puts people at greater risk of harm and how the new thinking on safety empowers everyone to make a safer social community for all.

Achieving Values-Based Sorority Recruitment White River G/H | Program #203

For years, sorority chapter and community leaders have been pushed to create a more values-based recruitment process. However, that request has left most of us wondering “how?” Values-based sorority recruitment can be achieved by focusing on four specific categories (behavior, criteria, conversations, and expectations) at both the chapter, community, and PNM level during the sorority recruitment process. We’ll discuss specific strategies, tools, and programs in all four categories that you can use to achieve values-based recruitment in your chapter or community. Stop wondering “Hhw?” and start asking “when?” KJ McNamara, Phired Up Productions, KJ@phiredup.com Tina VanSteenbergen, Phired Up Productions, tina@phiredup.com

The Five Great Hazing Myths ICC 126 | Program #225

Hazing persists in fraternities and sororities because members think that it benefits the organization. But does it? Do the benefits of hazing outweigh its well-documented risks? This session will explore the roots of hazing, and will debunk five of the most common myths that contribute to the prevalence of hazing on college campuses. Using a variety of empirical data and research, this session will give participants a better understanding of the problems with hazing, and will challenge participants’ perceptions about the perceived benefits of hazing.

saturday, february 8 Separate But Collaborative: A Better Way To Collaborate As Councils

New Members, Same Values: Connecting Fraternal Values with New Member Programming

Do your councils attempt to partner together throughout the year with limited success because one council always takes over? Do you have one governing council when you should have two or three councils but don’t know how to start the separation without burning bridges? We will focus on why separate governing councils should exist and how those councils should operate with collaboration in mind. We’ll discuss common issues that occur when separation doesn’t exist and common obstacles when attempting to collaborate.

Too often organizations lack a strong connection between new member programming and fraternal values. How does this affect new member development? More importantly, how does this affect retention? Participants will be able to evaluate their new member programs in relation to their organizations’ fraternal values. Participants will be challenged to view their programs from a new perspective. By creating values-based programs through the new member process, organizations will enhance retention efforts and establish life-long relationships for members. The presenters will share perspectives from Iowa State University’s Panhellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, Multicultural Greek Council, and National Pan-Hellenic Council’s new member programming.

James Marshall Reilly

It’s not About Finding a Job; It’s About Creating a Life White River F In terms of education, in terms of generational expectations, and certainly in terms of the job market, we’ve landed in a new place. James will explore the concept that the job market isn’t nearly as bad as statistics and the media would have us think. Instead, he argues, a combination of variables including new unemployment regulations, the rebirth of the small business, and a shift in corporate hiring practices have simply left many of us feeling a bit lost in the woods. It’s not that great jobs are no longer out there, but the way to find them has changed. Based on his research and interviews, James will examine current conditions and what we can all do to capitalize on the opportunities that are sitting right in front of us—even those we may not know exist.

Constructing Your Future: How to Develop your Own Internship

Trust Fall: Navigating Who is Going to Catch You, and Who Might Walk Away

Are you interested in creating your own internship that could help make your post-graduation career decision simpler? Getting experience for your dream job can be as easy as designing it yourself. Set yourself apart by gaining skills in program creation, strategic planning, leadership, and networking while gaining an inside look at a professional career. At this session, you will hear from students and their supervisor who have used their experiences to create their own internships in fraternity/sorority life. Learn the steps necessary to construct your own preprofessional position where you can get paid or even earn college credit. Professionals will discover ways to create a fully-staffed office by mentoring the very students they advise.

Ever feel like the connection with your fraternity/sorority advisor leads to a disconnect with your community? Trusting fraternity/ sorority life staff and advisors can be a scary reality, especially when general members and disconnected chapters do not see the value in that relationship. This session is an opportunity to establish goals in connecting with campus staff and is an opportunity to navigate the various politics and policies around working with campus administrators.

Chained to Tradition Room 206 | Program #208

The presentation will take a critical look at how pop/hip-hop culture has influenced the BGLO. The presenters will offer current members a chance to dialogue about the images that they portray and how they correlate with fraternal values. Do we love Beyoncé more than we love our founders? Students will leave with a new perspective on how they dress, stroll, and promote their image on campus by comparing their actions to the images and actions displayed in hip-hop culture.

The image of fraternity/sorority life has changed vastly since the inception of our respective organizations. With the recent influx of social media into everyone’s lives, negative stories about fraternities and sororities run rampant—so much so that the image of “Greeks doing good” quickly fades away. Often, the negative stories have something to do with a “tradition”—whether it’s hazing, binge drinking, or the like. How can we as students begin to change this dynamic? How can these traditions change if we have been given very little tools to know how to handle obstacles that stand in the way of changing these traditions? It is in this program where students will become equipped with tools to begin to learn how to tackle and overcome these obstacles.

Risk Management: It’s not all about the Men

Risk—The Key to Campus Domination

Risk Management—does the average Panhellenic woman on your campus know what this means? This presentation will discuss how we as women get into a bind with risk management, how our members get the men in trouble (from an experienced fraternity man), how the men get our chapters in trouble, and an action plan so no one gets in trouble! Participants will get some insights from presenters who have made many of the same mistakes and developed strategies for overcoming them!

Are you planning on taking over the world? Ok, well how about running your yard? To do so you need great programs, community outreach and service, and social activities, right? What are the risks associated with running the yard? Risk management starts with you. In this session we will look at a number of programs sponsored by chapters. We will identify potential areas of risk and opportunities to minimize risk. We will also look at risk from a cost/benefit perspective and identify programs that provide the best return on investment.

We’ll share the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of social media and teach you how to improve your personal, chapter, and community image. This session is for rookies, amateurs, and experts—we’ve got you covered! Social media will transform your organization and YOU!

Have you ever experienced this? It is the end of the semester, and the leadership of your organization is getting ready to graduate. What you do not realize (and maybe you do) is that all of the knowledge, successes, and failures that they have accumulated will also be graduating with them, and little-to-no information will be passed down to the next generation of leaders. Sadly, this happened to me. Without effective succession plans we are setting up our new leaders to fail. Let’s focus on the future and make sure our organizations do better after the leaders have transitioned. After all, isn’t leadership about growth anyway?

Create Your Brand, Create Your Future Room 312 | Program #213

A good brand is made by design; it is an identity created to be placed intentionally in others’ memories. A great brand encompasses our values, principles, actions, and our identity, and it demands attention to consistency. Our brand dictates how much we are worth and the good news is we are in complete control. Companies, athletes, and successful business people do this all of the time. And it works. So, why don’t we do this for ourselves? In this interactive seminar, students will learn the art of crafting a larger message about who they are, what they do, and why they do it.

Game Changers: Ignite the Spark Room 103/104 | Program #216

We are presented with thousands of thoughts, images, ideas, and facts each and every day. From time to time, one creates a big spark in us, and we are compelled to create change in our life. However, when we are passionate about something new, we often struggle to get others involved with the same level of excitement, passion, and energy. This course will walk you through the simple steps of having a great idea and sharing it, getting others involved and committed, and then making the change happen. Take the best ideas from AFLV Central back to your campus and make change happen! Erin Fischer, The Leadership Institute - Women with Purpose, efischer@tliwwp.org

The Burning Question

Room 203/204 | Program #217

At the molten core of every leadership challenge you face, there is always a “burning question” that must be addressed in order to genuinely move the organization forward. After all, treating the symptoms but not the disease does not cure the patient. It’s been said that a problem well-stated is a problem half-solved. In order to move your chapter or council forward, what do you feel is the burning question that must be addressed? Come prepared to be brutally honest, specific, realistic, and fair. This session pulls no punches–it cuts right to the heart of the matter. Lenny Dave, Coleman Productions, brooke@colemanproductions.com

The Source of all Your Powers Room 302/303 | Program #220

When deciding whom to follow, everyone asks, “What will make my life easier?” Student leaders all have the same problem. Titles and positions mean nothing without the support of your peers. Fortunately, there’s a surefire way to bring some around. Just one warning: it takes time, effort, and consistency. YOU should be what makes their life easier. Offer solutions to their problems, provide direction for their efforts, and fuel it all with contagious passion. That’s preferable any day to the uncertainty and apathy of a leaderless follower. This session starts with a proven formula for building great influence among your peers, and using that influence to improve the organization now and into the future.

Mistakes to Avoid when Growing MGC White River A | Program #221

Looking to start an MGC, make changes, or expand your MGC? You aren’t alone, so let’s huddle up! Right now it is common to see schools with an MGC; it wasn’t the case 10 years ago. If you are growing or developing your council, let’s discuss some of the best practices for growing and advancing your MGC movement on campus.

Making Change Happen: Understanding How to Implement Your Action Plan White River B | Program #222

How many of you have left a leadership program or institute with amazing plans and ideas for the future, but nothing substantial ends up happening after everyone goes their separate ways? Don’t worry; you are not alone! Creating change can definitely be a journey. We need to believe that change is possible. However, talk is cheap, and we need action if we want things to be better in our organizations and communities. In this session, join the NIC staff to 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.

Are We Really that Important? Selling Fraternal Relevance

closing session T.J. Sullivan

Confronting the Idiot in Your Chapter 9:15-10:30 a.m. | White River

We all have one: the person whose personal behavior causes problems for the chapter. From poor choices at the party to online rants that go viral, how do we successfully confront those in our organizations who harm themselves, our group, and other members? T.J. brings his signature humor and straight talk, and he inspires us to stop texting and have the hard conversations.

Many times, we are asked, “what does a fraternity/sorority do”? Even professionals hear, “So you help with the parties”? Quite frankly, those types of comments are backed with years of stereotypes, perceptions, and facts that can be damaging to fraternal relevance. In this breakout session, learn how to sell fraternal relevance by answering three central questions: what do we believe, what do we know, what do we do?
