welcome

On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Staff, and the many volunteers of AFLV, welcome to Indianapolis for the Central Fraternal Leadership/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 2013 conference has drawn attendees from more than 25 states to enhance skills and knowledge while becoming more effective leaders. Also in attendance are inter/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 at 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/National Black Greek Leadership Conference Committee

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.

All Leadership is SocialPhired Up Productions: Jessica Gendron Williams and Matt MattsonThursday, February 7, 7:00 - 8:30pm

As technological connections increase, face-to-face relationships can suffer. Yet, our ability to be more “social” will define our ability to lead. Fraternities and sororities are perfectly designed and positioned to breed the world’s greatest social leaders. “Social Excellence” is the most important factor leading to success in life, business, and relationships. By embracing the social component of our fraternal identity, our organizations can move beyond relevance and become deeply significant to the world.

Learn first-hand from Matt Mattson and Jessica Gendron Williams, the authors of the new book “Social Excellence: We Dare You, How Handshakes Can Change the World,” how the conversation about fraternal relevance is shifting. Watch the #betheperson movement catch on in real time, and immerse yourself in a Social Excellence lifestyle that will help you find the way you’ll impact the world.

Buy In or Get OutDavid StollmanFriday, February 8, 9:00 - 10:30am

Too often, good leaders and good chapters are not able to succeed because they are too busy cleaning up after the ones that don’t get it, fixing their problems, or fighting their negative image. Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

David will say what you wish you could. Let him confront them in his funny, interactive, and moving style. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of Fraternity and Sorority Life--friendship, service, leadership, and scholarship. He will challenge your members to embrace the best and get rid of the rest. It will touch on topics that range across all major issues facing today’s members.

Calling All Greeks to the FloorTish NormanSaturday, February 9, 9:00 - 10:15am

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 campuses--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 Greek-letter organizations to recognize and embrace differences. In her keynote, Tish encourages fraternity and sorority leaders to choose their role models wisely and become role models for the men and women who follow behind them.

The Greek Life ComedianEvan WecksellCFL Luncheon, Saturday, February 9, 12:00 - 1:30pm

Often compared to comedic superstars Adam Sandler and Stephen Lynch, Evan’s act is a blend of comedy and music that celebrates the college experience, endorses internet addiction, and lampoons bad music.

Selected “Hot Comedian of 2009” by Campus Activities Magazine, Evan’s comedy has been played on radio stations all over the world. His first album, LOL, came out the following year through Uproar Entertainment. Evan is most recognized from his appearances on such pop-culture shows as VH1’s “I Love the 80s” and E! Television’s “30 Most Outrageous Celebrity Feuds.”

Hazing Makes You a Better Greek and Other Stupid MythsMichelle GuobadiaNBGLC Luncheon, Saturday, February 9, 12:00 - 1:30pm

To this day, there are many misconceptions about the practice of hazing and how it adds value to a fraternity or sorority chapter. Have you ever heard that hazing helps bulid brotherhood and sisterhood or that it weeds out the bad apples?

With her refreshing attitude, Michelle speaks with enough courage to debunk what some may deem “traditions” of new member recruitment and education. She speaks from experience, not only as a sorority woman who has been hazed, but as someone who actively took part in these harmful traditions and believed this behavior was an important part of her sorority experience.

From Ritual to RealityMari Ann CallaisSunday, February 10, 9:15 - 10:30am

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.

Motivating the MiddleWhite River E

Let’s face it. Members of your organization are engaged at different levels. Some are highly engaged: running for office, showing up to everything. Others are modestly engaged. And some barely show up, or spend all their time complaining or causing drama. You have to lead them all, and you will save yourself a lot of stress if you learn how to lead them based on these levels of engagement. T.J. will reprise his 2012 CFL keynote based on his best-selling book, “Motivating the Middle.”

T.J. Sullivan

Sorority Councils Across the U.S. Are Having a Global Impact on Girls’ EducationWhite River F

Most sororities were founded in the 19th century because of obstacles to women achieving a college education. Sorority founders bound together fiercely to fight for their right to education. It’s time to recommit to our founding values and focus in a different way on this education fought so hard for by the earliest sorority women. Institutions expect that students will graduate with an appreciation of cultural differences and a global perspective. 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. Let’s fiercely bind together again to help those who are being denied education today.

Circle of Sisterhood

Bullies Versus Leaders: When Will You Take Back the Village Square?White River FThe headlines continue the trend for our fraternities and sororities ... and it wasn’t positive. We saw more hazing, racial issues, risk management violations, stupidity, frat or sorostitute behavior, and party themes that reflect the worst side of our organizations. Sadly, those were often followed by endless justifications because “We raise money.” NOPE. And saddest of all—we’re not talking about a majority of our members. Just the loud and often profane few: the bullies. They act, speak for, and define us. When will you—our leaders and leaders-to-be—find your feet and voices? When will you begin to redefine yourselves, your chapters, and your communities? If you think we’re doing just fine as a community, then don’t come. If you need or want motivation for change, then please attend. Dave Westol

Inspire Integrity: Chasing an Authentic LifeWhite River E

Open up a newspaper and read about billion-dollar financial scandals, corrupt executives and government officials, and academic plagiarism and dishonesty. These scandals occur in part because wisdom is not inherited or genetic--hard work and dedication are required in order to be wise. As we strive to become a bit wiser, it is important to break wisdom down into its components. Becoming a person of wisdom requires, first and foremost, acting with integrity. Integrity can be defined as how we act when nobody is looking and how we treat people who cannot do anything for us. Before undertaking any wisdom-producing activity, such as obtaining professional knowledge, each of us should determine what it takes to live a life full of integrity and then make it happen.

Make Room for the ElephantWhite River F

The campus climate is changing constantly and before you know it, you may be sitting next to someone in your organization that is different than you. Sure, you may share the same vision for your fraternity or sorority, but what about the same race, religion, or sexual orientation? Make for the Elephant encourages student leaders to embrace diversity through relationship building, mutual understanding, and positive interaction. A great keynote for any organization looking for powerful ways to address diversity.

Shattering the Silence of Sexual ViolenceWhite River E

Kidnapped in the broad daylight at the age of 17 from a shopping mall parking lot, Angela recounts her experience of being bound in a paroled murderer’s car and her fight for justice that followed. Working with her attacker’s previous victims, Angela turned a suburban community into a group of proactive citizens, culminating with the passage of the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act in Illinois.

Focusing on how men and women can mutually be part of the solution, Angela empowers audiences to make changes in their communities. Her presentation will leave you with tangible tips on how to be a supportive friend and partner as well as tools and resources to have ongoing education in the community.

Girls Fight Back!White River E

Girls Fight Back teaches college women the basics of personal safety and self-defense, in a most hilarious way. Founded after the murder of Shannon McNamara at Eastern Illinois University, Erin Weed knew there must be a non-Debbie-Downer approach to learning how to avoid sketchy situations. You see, you don’t have to be scared or paranoid or rely on your guy friends to protect yourself from creepers. You can live your life - no apologies - by knowing some simple and practical strategies. Delivered in a fun and “edu-taining” format, GFB has been seen by over ONE MILLION women since 2001. At GFB shows, you’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll kick some booty.

Check Your Leadership EgoWhite River F

Hey student 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 human to your followers. 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. Rather than dwelling on cliché leadership topics and merely reaffirming leadership talents, this program drives past all that and pushes students to bring their leadership skills to a level that they hardly considered, yet is easily within their grasp.

Beyond Yourself: Building Collaboration in the Greater Fraternity/Sorority CommunityWhite River E

Many different perceptions of fraternities and sororities exist on campus. One major perception is that fraternities and sororities are merely competing to see who can be the best. What if there was a transition from pure competition to purposeful collaboration? What if instead of fighting each other, we fought with each other to make a positive impact on campus?

Learn about building a lasting legacy in the fraternity/sorority community, avoiding bad collaboration, seeing beyond individual organizations to see a larger community, and improving the overall fraternity/sorority perception. This session will lead you Beyond Yourself!Justin Jones-Fosu

Everything You Want is on the Other Side of Fear!White River F

If your goal is success, you will be challenged: mentally, verbally—maybe even physically! Choose to have courage—the righteous willingness to stand up to anyone or anything that can harm you! Fear is a war happening in your mind! Stop choosing to lose! As former police officers and academy trainers who study peak performance secrets and moral strength of FBI agents and Navy SEALS, the Gardners teach proven, effective self-control strategies, the “theatre” of power, verbal “talk-down” skills, and in a worst-case scenario, how to fight RIGHT … in one word! Learn your legal rights including: Strike first! The Sandy Hook tragedy proved once again: Heroes aren’t born, they’re cornered! Get ready to Power Up and learn why “LOVE” is the Answer!

Making Greek GreatWhite River E

Since our founding days, fraternities and sororities have 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. But when we stray from that purpose, we get in trouble. We make the papers. People get hurt. Our image in society becomes toxic.

Every day, our members choose how to use your membership in a fraternity or sorority. Do you use it for selfish purposes or build up others? Do you bring honor or disgrace to your university? Most of all, does your community set a standard for members that inspires them to become something better?Lori Hart

The Dating StrengthsWhite River F

This program has been described as “realistic” and “very relevant for college relationships.” The skills required to optimize your social life are too important to be learned by trial and error. Using humor and his very personal story, Aaron illustrates the principles that help us avoid the worst and experience the best in dating and relationships, including the physical aspect. Learn common mistakes and turnoffs to avoid, and which common misconceptions can ruin physical intimacy. Understand the key ingredients of a healthy relationship, how to identify warning signs of trouble ahead, and how to help a friend who is in an unhealthy relationship.

Recommended for: Undergraduate members who are/who want to become LGBT alliesIt only takes one individual to stand up and begin transforming your campus culture. Taking the power of recognized leaders on campus and then training these students to be effective advocates against bias, bullying, and harassment on campus can have an immediate impact on overall safety and a greater sense of community. This Cross-Training preconference is part of Campus Pride’s larger national program that trains participants to be effective allies and delves into teaching the values of social justice leadership.

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of culturally-based fraternal organizationsIntake, Recruitment, Orientation, Rush, Informationals ... the list goes on. Whatever you call it, want it to be, think it is, or other people think you do, we need to talk about it in an open honest format. What are the issues facing MGC groups when it comes to bringing in new members? What issues do you face from the administration?

Participants in this program will learn strategies to help their organization align its values and activities to grow positively to the next level. We will discuss organizational branding (with marketing, not irons) and methods to ensure that your message and purpose are aligned and your organization gets the respect it deserves.

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of NPC organizationsWe all do better when we work together. There are many partners fighting for the betterment of fraternity/sorority life; yet, sometimes it seems so hard for us to get on the same page. This session will provide attendees the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the work of the National Panhellenic Conference with particular emphasis placed on communication and working in partnership with NPC Area Advisors, sorority headquarters and fraternity/sorority advisors. We will also discuss the multitude of resources available to our College Panhellenic women, ranging from hard copy handbooks to programming and services.

Recommended for: Undergraduate members of NPHC organizationsThis interactive session will touch on the core challenges faced by members of NPHC organizations. It will challenge student leaders to action and give them the confidence and urgency necessary to make significant change at the grassroots level. Students will learn how to shape their memberships in a manner consistent with the mission and values of their organizations and will be challenged to consider how to effectively bring in and retain good members all while being true to the traditions and values associated with NPHC organizations. Our hope is that through participation, students will enhance the value of their organizations to both internal and external communities and cultivate a more positive image for their community as a whole through substantive action.

After the texts, tweets, Instagram pics, pokes, chats, and e-mails are over, a couple will ultimately have to meet face-to-face if they want things to progress farther. Then, they must rely upon the interpersonal skills they have (or have not) developed and rely on the experience (or lack thereof) they have from previous relationships. Changing your Facebook status to “In a Relationship” is a far cry from actually being involved in one. Interacting in person with a potential love interest is becoming harder for people as much of their initial contact is online. 13-time National Campus Speaker of the Year David Coleman will show you how to form and mend healthy relationships.

Game Changer: Using the Fraternal Values Society as a Catalyst for ChangeRoom 205Launched in 2011, the Fraternal Values Society is a student organization that illuminates the central values that guided the historical founding of general fraternities and sororities and incorporating these values into the contemporary fraternity and sorority experience. We invite both students and advisors to learn about the Fraternal Values Society and how using it to create dialogue and action around fraternal values can ultimately change the dynamic of your fraternity/sorority community. In addition to the discussion, a lucky participant in attendance will win a discounted charter to start an FVS chapter on their campus. (#7)

Social Justice: The Act of ResponsibilityRoom 103/104It is often easy to put the blame on other people. We forget that while pointing a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. In this session, you will reflect in a non-traditional way as you analyze a situation that has many aspects to consider. We will explore a story that will challenge you to reconsider your assumptions. Whenever a life is altered, is it one person’s fault? Or are there multiple stakeholders? Let’s find out as you and your peers work together to understand and relate to a story with a social justice background. (#4)

Doing More with Less: A Leaders Survival GuideRoom 301Do you find yourself having to do more and more with less and less? Is your organization having to work with less money, man/womanpower, or both? Are you tired of wearing multiple hats and doing everything? As a leader you have to find a way to “get it done,” and that can be stressful. Based on four core principles, this session teaches participants how to get results in a world where resources are dwindling. Session participants will leave with an understanding of how to create and maintain a positive chapter culture, how to effectively network, how to negotiate their way to improved circumstances, and most importantly how to prioritize, organize, eliminate and shift workloads to maximize chapter success! (#1)

Paul Artale, Michigan State University, [email protected] Library Hours: You’re Smarter Than ThatRoom 101/102Not everyone in your chapter/council has the same learning style, so why should you create a scholarship plan that treats everyone the same? The session begins with an assessment of attendee learning styles and the academic environments created by your chapter/council. Facilitators offer several approaches to scholarship and academic remediation that go beyond the traditional “library hours.” Each approach is built on scholarly research about college student performance. Create the best scholarship plan your chapter/council has ever had and complete the process with an implementation strategy based on positive reinforcement. (#2)

Chris Dickey, Alpha Delta Pi, [email protected] Moving from Talk to Action: Scholarship Plans that WorkRoom 109A universal value of fraternities and sororities is scholarship. We pride ourselves on holding our members accountable to academics, lifelong learning, and engagement in and out of the classroom. However, too often our words do not reflect our actions and we find our chapters’ scholarship falling short. Developing an effective scholarship plan takes hard work, intentionality and a willingness to implement change. Learn how to create and implement a comprehensive, year-long scholarship plan that will provide true opportunities for academic engagement. Plan creation, program development and implementation, sustainability and follow-up and utilization of campus resources will all be discussed. (#17)

You too can educate through skits! (#18)

Rick Daniels, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater, [email protected]

Money, Money, MONEY!Room 312Do you find that 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.

David Stollman, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] Are You LEADING With The RIGHT RELATIONSHIP Partner?Room 313A past survey on relationships discovered that 95% of people have a strong desire to find that right relationship partner.

Chris DeEulis, Ball State University, [email protected] Logan, [email protected] Pledging your Ritual ... Using Values to Teach New Member EducationRoom 109The ritual teachings of our values are the most sacred component of our fraternal organizations; yet, we don’t learn what they mean until we are initiated.

Just Because We Don’t Live Together Doesn’t Mean We Can’t Operate: How to be the Best Chapter on Campus Without a HouseRoom 108When members from other organizations live together, they can appear more cohesive, but a physical structure doesn’t make them a better chapter.

Laura Whitmire, Miami University - Ohio, [email protected] Backer, Southeast Missouri State University, [email protected] TRAPPED: Escaping Status QuoRoom 106Ever wonder why your council or chapter does the exact same program every year, even if it was unsuccessful? Ever hear someone say “Well last year we…” or “we’ve always done it this way”? If so, you may be in the Status Quo Trap! As a leader it is easy to find yourself trapped by the fear of change and wandering in a maze of confusion trying to create transformative change. Many will blame the organization, but the largest barrier to change may just be oneself. We will challenge you to explore what is holding your organization from changing, provide you with steps for creating change, and motivate you to not only make change in your organization, but also in your personal life. (#36)

David Stetter, University of Southern Indiana, [email protected] Sisters, Sisters, There Were Never Such Devoted Sisters!Room 105Chances are you are in a sorority with over 50 women. Not all women will be your best friends, some may not even be your friends! You may wonder how they came to be in your sorority and struggle with how you can be a good sister to them. When faced with a conflict, how can you support them, even if you may disagree with their actions or behavior? How can you stay true to the values of your organization when supporting a sister? How can those relationships grow stronger in the process? If you have ever asked yourself these questions or have found yourself in a tough situation with a sister that you may not have been close with, learn how you can play both roles and grow as a sister and a “champion in their absence.” (#37)

National Panhellenic ConferenceCaitlin Moulton, [email protected] Stallard, [email protected] “Just Say Yes” Utilizing a Harm Reduction PhilosophyRoom 101/102When you spend time going over your council, campus, or organizational policies, do you focus more on what can’t be done than on what can? A harm-reduction model explores emphasizing the negative consequences associated with high-risk activities, as opposed to highlighting “the rules.” A creative method to managing risk within the confines of FIPG or organizational policies exists. We’ll look at best practices that take a creative approach to education, prevention, & accountability. (#34)

Embracing Real BeautyRoom 314According to fashion magazines, women should be six feet tall, a size zero, and perfectly proportioned. Our culture’s obsession with “perfect looks” has begun to shape and change the way women feel about themselves. It needs to stop.

We interact within the societies that we have built and most of the meaning to be found in life is in these relationships. Yet, rarely do we stop and think about others, these people we see and interact with on a daily basis. We are expected to lead but first we must understand. This session will focus on humans and how we interact. There are some basic ways of approaching others and thinking about situations that are extremely effective at improving your ability to lead and to live. Any participant can expect to walk away with skills that they can put into effect immediately and will use for the rest of their lives. (#43)

Sam Davidson, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] Improving the Climate for LGBT Students in Fraternity and Sorority LifeRoom 309/310Building a climate of acceptance for LGBT people in fraternities and sororities requires a commitment at all levels, ranging from individual members to the intern/national headquarters and including the university administration. Join us to learn more about the experience of being “out” in a fraternity or sorority and how we can all work together to create a more welcoming climate for LGBT people in fraternity and sorority life. We will discuss resources and new initiatives such as Lambda 10 and “Fraternities Against the ‘F’ Word” that your campus can use to challenge the stereotype that fraternity and sorority life is not inclusive of LGBT students.

Building a Greek Alumni Council That WorksRoom 311Fraternity and sorority chapters do not exist in a silo. The challenges faced by one chapter are similar to challenges faced by the entire community. But too often the inter/national headquarters, advisors, and chapter officers are so focused on solving their own problems, that the fraternity/sorority advisor becomes the sole caretaker of community-wide issues. Enter Greek Alumni Council! This session helps FSAs understand the value and process of creating a team of alumni with a community-wide focus to help advance the FSA’s initiatives. (#48)

Addison Schopp, Sigma Tau Gamma, [email protected] Palmer, Kappa Alpha Order, [email protected] Creating The UNSTOPPABLE Leader!Room 203/204This life-changing, inspirational, dynamic, open, honest, provocative, comedic, REAL, interactive and thought-provoking workshop seeks to develop the necessary skills needed to keep our organizations relevant and viable.

Steve Birdine, Affirmations in Action, [email protected] Miss Represented: Images of Sorority Women in the MoviesRoom 205According to the movies, sorority women are ditzy, promiscuous, and usually drunk.

Make Your Move! How Bystander Intervention can Play in Creating a Safer Campus ClimateRoom 205The difference that one person can make in changing a dangerous situation is sometimes disregarded and unexplored. Many times, we think that there is nothing we can do when environments are unfamiliar or uncomfortable, especially if it doesn’t involve us or our chapter. Sadly, we don’t realize the impact that we make in taking small steps towards big change in the behavior of others. This interactive session will provide information on bystander intervention, realistic options to address challenging situations, and recommendations to incorporate intervention options on your campus. (#74)

Will Atkins, University of Michigan, [email protected] A Conversation About HazingWhite River G & HHazing is something we rarely talk about and frequently misunderstand. This session will approach this issue from perspectives you likely haven’t considered before. It is not about blame, but truly understanding the role students can play in hazing prevention. (#75)

Tracy Maxwell, HazingPrevention.Org, [email protected] From Friendship to Foreplay to Forever?White River I & JCollege is just beginning, but there is a tremendous amount of pressure to get the very most out of the 48 months ahead. You want to make responsible choices, make friends, find a place where you belong, and put yourself on a path to success in your professional life. There will be a ton of once in a lifetime experiences that make college so special, but also realize that it’s not going to be so easy every step of the way. Students have been saturated with information about the physical ramifications of drugs, alcohol and sex, but they haven’t heard enough positive messages about the emotional, spiritual, social and intellectual impact of their relationships. Knowing and respecting oneself is the first step in being capable of understanding and appreciating others in the campus community. (#76)

(#68)

Dave Westol, LimberLost Consulting, [email protected] Peer-to-Peer Accountability: Implementing a Fraternal Conduct BoardRoom 109How does your campus and/or fraternal community hold one another accountable? We will take you through the process of how Winthrop University formed a Fraternal Conduct Board consisting of peer-to-peer accountability. All three governing councils formed a board that promotes a sense of community, standards, values, civility, accountability, and the maintenance of good character.

When you come across someone who does, you remember them because they made an impact on you. What are they doing that makes them so much better? We will focus on the skills to be a better public speaker and to be a more effective presenter. Join the session presenter in analyzing nonverbal signals, speaking errors, and other common mistakes that slow down a speaker. We’ll discuss how to actually engage the audience with what you are saying instead of speaking at them. These are skills that you can use every day and will make you a better leader and professional for the future. (#70)

The “Big” Idea: Mentoring with MeaningRoom 108Are your seniors checked out? Do your sophomores & juniors reinvent the wheel every new term? Do any of your new members find difficulty fully integrating into the chapter or transitioning to college life? Borrowing elements from Tim Farbor’s “Greater Than Yourself” & Sharon Parks’s “Big Questions Worthy Dreams,” this session will help you create self-sustaining systems of mentoring relationships within your chapter that will take your whole organization to a deeper level of motivation & connectedness. You may have bigs and littles, but true mentoring is much bigger than “big” alone. (#83)

Nate Burke, Stetson University, [email protected] B. A. L. A. N. C. E. — Find out where it is for MERoom 106Aretha was great at asking for respect. But Greeks may find themselves asking for balance – just a little bit, which can be the difference in leading a healthy, content college life. The demands of Greek life make it difficult to maintain any sort of balance in life because of all the commitments and care taking required by being a chapter leader. One of the biggest issues is managing priorities. Lori gets you laughing, and shows you how to let go and get some “B” in your life. (#84)

Lori Hanson, Learn 2 Balance, [email protected] Practical Measures to Knock Your Next Function Out of the BallparkRoom 105Want to have a good time at your next social function with less stress about your members and their dates? Don’t want to be that chapter that lies to its advisors about what your next social function really entails? This program will walk you through case studies involving current issues and hot topics concerning social events. Learn about what resources you have as Greek leaders on your campus and what you can do better to educate fellow members on social functions to ensure better party planning and risk reduction. Learn about social host’s liability, event programming, and effective ways to reduce risks to ensure a successful social event while remembering that you can have fun while staying within FIPG Guidelines!

Sorority Women are Feminist Too!Room 208Given media portrayal of sorority women as ditzy and unintelligent and fraternity/sorority life as a culture of parties and objectification of women, many people view Greek letter organizations as misogynistic and sexist communities. However, there is a strong connection between feminism and sorority membership. Our organizations were built on the concept of female empowerment and belonging to a community of strong woman leaders in a time when women were frowned upon for being so progressive as to attend college. Despite the excellent leadership opportunities our organizations provide, many women do not see themselves as feminist as a result of their membership. We will examine the definition of feminism, how this concept is very present in sorority membership, and why sorority women should be proud to say they are feminist! (#80)

Retaining & Nurturing Socially Excellent New MembersWhite River AFor many organizations, nearly 1 of every 5 new members in the fraternity/sorority world QUIT the fraternal experience during their first semester. Retaining members to initiation is a major challenge on many campuses. But there are several key strategies you can utilize to not only keep those new members, but prepare them to be truly successful! Utilizing exclusive data obtained through proprietary research on fraternity/sorority retention, combined with Phired Up’s Social Excellence philosophy, this session will provide new member educators (and anyone interested in nurturing and keeping the newest members of our community) with experiential teaching strategies that can be applied in their new members’ first semester experience.

Recruitment Research Results RevealedRoom 314Fraternities 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 2 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! (#89)

Matt Mattson, Phired Up Productions, [email protected] Take the Static out of Your FeedbackRoom 313You’ve got a solid team. The team has a job to do. Information flow isn’t usually the problem with more ways to communicate now than ever before, but what happens when one of your teammates does their job wrong and you have to get them to fix it?

Learn some simple methods for getting more from your people, while still keeping a positive tone. We’ll also practice these skills so that you can use them as soon as you head out the door.

Clearing the Air on Fraternity ExpansionRoom 308Fraternity expansion can be an uncomfortable time for members of existing fraternities on campus. Fraternity members often find themselves thinking “We don’t need another fraternity,” “Our existing chapters have enough problems as it is,” or “This new fraternity is going to take our recruits.” This session seeks to clear the air about fraternity expansion by explaining why it is usually good for a Greek community and how existing chapters can take expansion as an opportunity to become even more successful themselves! We will explore the organizational and business motivations for fraternity expansion and explain how expansion is a good thing using free-market principles to build a “culture of success.” (#94)

Can’t We All Just Get Along?Room 108Campus professionals, have you found out after the fact that a sorority on your campus was on probation with the inter/national Office for an incident? Inter/national staff or volunteers, have you received a sanction letter from the University as a form of “first communication?” There is growing concern about what information is being shared between universities and NPC groups in regards to judicial and other risk management information.

Achieving Values-Based Sorority RecruitmentWhite River AFor 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 “How?” and start asking “When?” (#100)

Chapter Finances: The Business Side of Greek LifeRoom 313Sister/brotherhood is about creating life-long relationships, instilling values and building leadership skills. It is also the financial equivalent of running a business with 18-21 year-olds who change leadership roles every year! How can you hold your members accountable for their financial responsibility to your chapter? How can you make your chapter’s financial operations more consistent from year to year? How can you bring transparency to your financial activity? How can you reduce the likelihood that an officer or advisor (yes, it happens) uses the chapter checking account as their own? Mandy and Jessica are part of a team that helps manage the finances of more than 2,300 fraternity and sorority chapters across the country. They’ve seen it all over the last 20 years and will share with you ways that your chapter can accomplish all of this – and more! (#114)

The Burning QuestionWhite River BAt the molten core of every leadership challenge you face, there is always a “burning question” that must be addressed in order to 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, council, or campus organization forward, what do you feel is the “burning question” that must be addressed? Come prepared to be brutally honest, specific, realistic, and fair. (#122)

Lenny Dave, Coleman Productions, [email protected] Dynamic Recruitment for Sororities: How the Best are Growing in Quantity and QualityWhite River C & DGrowing 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. (#123)

Find out why people’s actions may differ from their opinions. We will get you moving around and talking about the hard-hitting issues that you face daily. Everyone has special circumstances that they use to be the exception to the rule. Join in this interactive activity that explores those disparities, why they exist, and how they affect the fraternity and sorority community.

Transformational Leadership – The WAVE of the FUTURE!Room 208According to Wyatt (1993), a generation is comprised of six things: a traumatic or formative event, a dramatic shift in demography, a privileged interval, a creation of sacred spaces, voices of mentors or leaders, and the work of people who know and support one another. Arsenault (2004) revealed to us that leadership development programs must be sensitive to generational differences and that the perspective of leadership changes within each generation. Learn how a generation is formed within our culture and society and why transformational leadership is the wave of the future. You will have a greater understanding of the different generations on campus and walk away with practical and applicable leadership strategies to help you be more effective at leading younger members of your generation.

Justin Jones Fosu, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] 5 Missed Recruitment Opportunities for AdvisorsRoom 203/204As campus and chapter advisors, we are inundated with responsibilities for our students and can often miss opportunities to provide the true recruitment assistance our chapters need.

Situational LeadershipWhite River I & JHigh-performing organizations depend on high-quality leaders.

This is for anyone involved in the difficult and delicate task of influencing others. (#125)

All In ... Reject the Lost Generation Label and Leave a LegacyRoom 304/306Do you want to make a difference in your chapter, on campus, in your life? We all do, and then life bumps into us and we put it off. Your generation is blessed with intelligence and ability. The problem is finding the motivation. In fact, society has recognized this phenomenon and labeled your generation as the “Lost Generation.” This moniker doesn’t have to stick or be accurate, however. This presentation provides a kick start in your life through discussions of sacrifice, values, priorities and perspective. The idea is that you need to go ALL IN right now! (#137)

Corey Ciocchetti, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] Creating a Culture of Membership Growth: Recruitment Strategies to Help Your Community and Chapter GrowRoom 308Fraternity & sorority life has experienced growth over the past four years; however, on many of our college campuses, students affiliated with a fraternity or sorority is less then 20% of campus enrollment.

(#135)Jessica Winkles, Phi Mu, [email protected] Leading Change in an Apathetic WorldRoom 312One of the greatest leadership challenges is fostering change within an organization. Fraternities and sororities are often particularly resistant to change, making the job of chapter and council leaders more difficult. Understanding what motivates people into action is a critical leadership skill. Introducing change within an organization or community can elicit fear of the unknown or stimulate visionary thinking and open up new possibilities. Learn how to motivate your peers and implement sustainable change efforts within your chapter or fraternity and sorority community. (#136)

Tracy Maxwell, HazingPrevention.Org, [email protected] Rewriting the Man CodeWhite River I & JMessages about masculinity and the societal role of men have been turned upside down in the last two decades. Understandably, many young men are a bit lost—unsure of their role, struggling for validation, and turning to unhealthy behaviors as a means of coping. This program addresses the conflicted mindset of the modern man, dispelling labels, limitations, and outdated expectations of how masculinity shapes our inner thoughts and outer expression and provides students with a framework to help them live a life with character, value and determination.

The Naysayer will shoot down any new idea; the Traditionalist wants everything to be like “the old days;” and the Crickets stare blankly into space and say nothing. Not to mention the Voice, the Whiner, and the Blockade. They say things like, “We’ve always done it this way,” “That’s dumb,” or, “It sounds like a lot of work.” Your success is not determined by their excuses, but by how you respond to them.

These positions should be one of the most significant and coveted positions within our sorority communities attracting our very best sorority 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.

Appreciation Leads to RetentionRoom 311“Congrats new sister/brother! You got a bid, you crossed, you made it through recruitment, and you’re finally initiated! After we celebrate for the next week it’s down to business, and that work will continue until you get burnt out, stop participating in activities, doing community service, paying dues, and being affiliated with us anymore!” Sound like an issue in your sorority/fraternity? Retention is something a lot of organizations struggle with, but combating it effectively is not done by fining and guilt tripping. It starts with appreciation – the often overlooked but critical component of effective leadership. It’s not enough for your members to believe in your organization’s values, they must feel valued while doing so. This session we will discuss what appreciation looks like in your organizations, what it could/should look like, and how that will impact the retention of your members during and after college. (#158)

Recruitment Counselors: Difference Makers in Sorority RecruitmentRoom 304/306Do your recruitment counselors make a difference? Ours do! Through a serious makeover of our recruitment counselor program, we transformed the impact our recruitment counselors had on Panhellenic sorority recruitment this fall. Through intentional efforts we transformed how we were interviewing, training, and using our recruitment counselors in our partially structured recruitment process. By incorporating the FISH philosophy, we created a team of recruitment counselors that was ready to make the positive difference in the potential new members’ recruitment experience. The difference we saw in one year was so positive that we had 100% of the women who attended our final round make selections and have seen an increase in retention. If you want to make a difference in your sorority recruitment, come learn how your recruitment counselors can make an impact! (#156)

University of AkronKatelin Getz, [email protected] M. Doyle, [email protected] The Alumni/ae Equation: Understanding the Roles Alumni Play in Perpetuating or Eradicating Hazing in Today’s Campus EnvironmentRoom 308More often than not, the focus on figuring out what we can do about hazing is given to the undergraduate chapter members. What about the alumni/ae and why aren’t they getting any attention? We’ve all heard old heads talk about how they were “Made” or how things were back in the day, but it’s 2013. In the wake of an elevated level of attention to hazing with campuses, headquarters, and the media, things have changed since back in the day. If we want to see our Black Greek Lettered Organizations thrive sustainably, something must change and maybe that something is the alumni/ae. (#157)

The Skills That Pay the Bills: Making Your Leadership Work for YouWhite River I & JFraternities and sororities develop skills that employers seek. Sometimes, those skills need a little extra polish in order to really shine. Pete Mockaitis has conducted hundreds of one-on-one career coaching sessions with clients from over 30 different countries. Here he will distill his wisdom to the essential guide to jobhunting for fraternal leaders. (#165)

Pete Mockaitis, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] Media, PR, and Publications for Culturally- Based GreeksRoom 205How do you keep your organization in the spotlight for good things?

How can you take your chapter to the next level in marketing and promotion? This workshop will help students understand their reach in marketing and how to present your organizational brand and image by making the web work for you. (#166)

Amber Pratcher, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., [email protected] What’s Really Going Down on the Yard: Tips to Advising NPHC and Multicultural Fraternities and SororitiesRoom 206What you don’t know can’t hurt you, right? Wrong! As facilitators and campus-based professionals, we’ve had the opportunity to talk with hundreds of culturally-based members about their intake experiences. What they have to say is shocking, but important to consider. Come and learn what students are afraid to tell you as their advisor but are candidly sharing with us. We will provide you tools to identify issues and start having REAL conversations with students. (#167)

Shelly Brown Dobek, North Carolina State University, [email protected] Guobadia, University of North Carolina - Charlotte, [email protected] Utilizing Alumni/ae as a Natural ResourceRoom 203/204Do you ever wish you could go to your alumnae/i without simply hearing about “the good ol’ days?” Or do you struggle with alumnae/i relations within your organization? Let’s have a discussion about how to best utilize this group as a natural resource for your organization. Alumnae/i wear our letters so why not turn to them for support? Let’s figure out how. (#168)

Rick Barnes, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected]

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About The Opposite SexWhite River ARelationships with the opposite sex 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 the Facebook status “in a relationship” 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 program is full of laughs as well as important messages about self-esteem. (#162)

Dr. Lori Hart, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] Your First 30 Days: Setting the Tone for a Semester of SuccessWhite River C & DThe conference is winding down, and you have a million ideas to implement!

Learn about 5 basic steps you need to take to prepare, create a checklist of every task you need to complete when you leave the conference, and gather resources that will make your life easier. Simplify your conference takeaways into a detailed plan for how you will use the next 30 days to set the tone for the semester of success. (#163)

Learn the answers to the following questions and more in this session: How do you get quantity and quality? How do you recruit the best of the best? What’s the best way to manage a high-performing recruitment system? How do you meet 500 potential members, build deep relationships with them, ensure 100% bid acceptance, and set expectations of excellence from the moment you give a bid? How do you manage a Names List like a pro? What are 60+ proven, detailed, specific tactics that will drive recruitment results? How do the best recruiters in the world recruit, and what can we learn from them? How do you build a great recruitment action plan? Where do you begin? (#160)

Matt Mattson, Phired Up Productions, [email protected]

Building A Chapter That BondsWhite River BThere are fraternities and sororities composed of fun-loving, talented members who get very little done. Conversely, there are chapters with few members, who possess marginal abilities, who accomplish great things. How and why is this so? David will reveal how to build and maintain great relationships within your chapter, between your chapter and the fraternity/sorority community, as well as with faculty, staff, campus organizations and the campus community at large. The secrets of becoming an efficient, team-oriented, well-respected chapter will be shared. (#161)

#changeRoom 304/306Have you ever looked at something and wanted to change it? Is there something in your chapter or community that frustrates you beyond belief? In this session, you will understand WHY you should change something, the reason most changes fail, and HOW to specifically change anything you want. You’ll learn an easy three-step process to create change and then have the ability to draw up a specific plan to make that change a reality. This program is not intended to inspire you – it is intended to give you the tools necessary to change whatever you want immediately! (#175))

Tom Healy, CAMPUSPEAK, Inc., [email protected] AFLV AwardsRoom 308This session is designed to to help you better understand how involvement in the AFLV Awards & Assessment program can help your council improve overall operations and programming.

Ryan Hilperts, [email protected] Navigating through the Wild: Guiding Fraternity Members in Positive Rites of PassageRoom 311The wild is a time in every young man’s life when he is transitioning from boyhood to manhood, usually synonymous with starting college. So often, this process is casual or haphazard, but with some direction, it can be truly meaningful and empowering. Learn about the most necessary messages in this transition and how you can support your students and members in positive rites. Young men are silently calling out for a rite of passage; can you answer the call? (#177)

Matt Deeg, Hanover College, [email protected]

Continuum: From Maintaining to Advancing: Taking Your Panhellenic To The Next LevelRoom 309/310When things are working, we tend to keep them the same. What if instead of maintaining our operations and programs, we advanced to the next level? Find out whether your organization is advancing, maintaining or regressing. Work with other Panhellenic communities to gain insight into what has or has not worked for them. We will get you moving and discussing in ways that you haven’t had a chance to before. You will have the momentum to create positive change. Be the one to advance your community to the next level by sharing ideas, questions, and goals with other Panhellenic leaders. (#172)

Kate Planow, Longwood University, [email protected] Stanglein, Virginia Commonwealth University, [email protected] How a Simple Email Changed EverythingRoom 207Struggling to enjoy the positive experience that planning and executing recruitment/intake should be?

You will identify your community’s common negative interactions and begin developing a recruitment/intake communication plan for your organization. (#173)

Oklahoma State UniversityLiz Osborne, [email protected] McCollom, [email protected] Leadership Development and Greek Letter Organizations: Building an Inclusive Leadership ProgramRoom 312Colleges and universities have always developed their students as leaders and good citizens through leadership programming. Fraternal organizations have aided institutions in this effort. However, the theoretical frameworks utilized in student development have excluded a number of groups. At many of our predominantly white institutions, students of color do not see how the leadership offerings supplied by the university will benefit them. Furthermore, many of the programs do not use inclusive language in their promotion of these programs. Our goal is to assist professional staff with these challenges. We will provide strategies to develop an inclusive leadership program for your Greek community. (#174)

Dr. Terri M. Hurdle, University of Cincinnati, [email protected]

Creating a Movement of Change in your Chapter and on Campus!Room 208As Darwin stated, “the species who survive are those who adapt to change.” In this presentation, participants will learn about extraordinary leaders who have achieved great success by creating a movement of positive change.

Learn about how you can become a life-long philanthropist through your passions and interests. (#170)

Steve Good, Greeks for Good, [email protected] NBGLC Advisors Institute, Part 2 Multicultural Fraternities and Sororities; Responding to Changing Faces & ValuesRoom 302/303With the growth of multicultural Greek letter organizations, campus administrators are faced with many successes and challenges associated with these groups. Risk management issues or liability concerns are usually perpetuated by the Black Greek Letter organizations, and then emulated by multicultural groups. This two-part workshop will focus on identifying tools that can help professionals in managing and providing support to Multicultural organizations. (#171)

Having a Conversation About Values in a Fratty ChapterRoom 206We will focus on those members who want to live the values of their organization but are surrounded by members who want to glorify the stereotypes of fraternity/sorority life. We will discuss solutions that have been successful and discuss experiences of joining a fraternity that tried to live up to a “fratty” culture and the struggles that came with trying to make meaningful change. You will learn about some of the successes and roadblocks along the way and what others would have done differently. You will identify realistic issues that might be able to influence your chapter in a positive way. We will also provide you with resources to help influence the culture of your chapter. (#187)

Andrew Hohn, University of Illinois, [email protected]

Forming One Heartbeat in your Chapter!White River BWhat makes one team highly successful while another one fails? It is the preparation, focus, and attitude of team members.

But Evil?: Creating a Culture of Change on Your Campus Through ConfidenceWhite River I & JThe sorority movement created some of the most progressive leaders in society.

The University of Missouri’s Wellness Resource Center has paired up with Phired Up Productions Research Department and the Confidence Coalition to analyze why women leave sororities; what today’s sorority experience is providing; and the root behind issues we face today.

Understanding the Alumni/ae PerspectiveRoom 208“How come our alumni/ae won’t give our chapter any money? Why don’t they come to our alumni events? Don’t they like us?” 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 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. (#188)
