Current ChallengesCurrent Challenges

• New member education lacks comprehensiveness, long term engagement. Primary focus on history/fraternity information.

• Difficult to readily identify benefits of “Triangle Product” without having learning outcomes on a four year scale

• Tough to align multiple member education programs with National purpose, CoE, Ritual, mission

Undergraduate Development

• Focus Shift: From new member education – to 4/5 year member education

• Comprehensive Training on a local level: Leadership skills, Financial Management, Academic Scheduling, Life Skills Development, Professional Development, Communication Skills, Conflict Resolution, Health/Wellness education, Risk Management/Alcohol Awareness, etc.

• A Unified Approach: One program, “one result.” All align with mission and purpose of Triangle Fraternity

The 4 Year MDPThe 4 Year MDPCore Vision

In the future (2 – 5 years), Triangle Fraternity will be able to quantifiably measure its ability to produce leaders, scholars, professionals and gentlemen. Because the 4 year program is developed with the end in mind, Triangle will produce graduates who have achieved success and are ready for a professional environment (Metrics). These graduates are aware not only of their lifelong commitment to Triangle, but to the principles and values of the Fraternity (Metrics). Through evaluating the year to year learning objectives of the 4 Year MDP, Triangle will be able to quantifiably measure its product, and adjust it to be the best professionally based social fraternity. As more and more pilot chapters adopt the program, Triangle will become a more ‘congruent’ and cohesive National Fraternity.
