ALPHA Initiative Change Agents: Navigating Diversity in Greek Life: 304B Christopher Irving Executive Director of the Miller Insitute for Leadership & Diversity in America (CMI) Far too many students on our campuses have to confront bias, discrimination, and prejudice on a daily basis. This workshop will involve different techniques that student leaders can utilize to recognize issues of diversity within their college community. Step Up or Step Off: 228B Charles Davis III Writer. Thinker. Speaker. The constant question of Greek organization's relevance in the 21st century has been a topic of conversation among members of higher education over the last several years. The value of what these organizations bring to college and university campuses across the country is beginning to be questioned due to pervasive cultural hedonism and the endemic institution of hazing. This workshop attempts to evaluate the current state of Greek Letter Organizations and further illuminate the concept of 'value congruence' among its audience members. Stepping Without a Substance: 304A Cory Boone Residence Director, Syracuse University Kendall Exume Assistant Residence Director, Syracuse University This interactive session will examine how the purpose of Black Greek Letters Organizations (BGLO) is now in questioned for their existence. BGLOs influence not only the African American Society and culture, but also the face of America as we know it. For much of the twentieth century, BGLOs united individuals dedicated to excellence, and uplifting the African American Community. Brown and Black: Sorors and Frats: 304C Rasheed-Ali Cromwell Executive Director, Harbor Institute Culturally based fraternities and sororities often have vast potential to positively and collectively impact their campuses. Often times, however, this impact is never realized. This short-coming is often attributed to a poor understanding and appreciation for each others culture and the fraternity/sorority culture that accompanies it.
BETA Initiative Is your Chapter the Right Fit?: 304A Malcolm J. McLemore Graduate Assistant for Leadership Development and Training for Fraternity and Sorority Affairs, University of Rochester This program will discuss the philosophies, actions, and infrastructure of successful (and not so successful) chapters and how these align with the values of the organization. Participants will examine members' roles in recruitment, chapter/organization perceptions, leadership development, and the extent to which each member contributes to their chapter/organization legacy.
Who’s Yard is it Anyway?: 228B Charles Davis III Writer. Thinker. Speaker. In a continuously competitive atmosphere, Greek Organizations are in a constant desire to be the best and brightest of college students across the country. But how can we truly know 'Who runs the yard?' This workshop outlines the keys to success for Greek Organizations to ascend and maintain their prowess as elite organizations committed to institutional and academic excellence. Discussion on campus involvement, academic commitment & strategy, student affairs relationships, and diversity will encourage introspection and create inspiration for each member of the Greek community to be the change they wish to see in Greek Life.
School Haze: Does Pledging Really Produce Premium Product? Evolution of New Member Processes in Black Greek Lettered Organizations: 304C Rasheed-Ali Cromwell Executive Director, Harbor Institute Paper v. Pledge. Process v. Performance. Passion v. Purpose. This highly interactive and engaging session empowers participants with practical, short term and long term solutions for addressing what has evolved into an illegal and dangerous underground process. The facilitator creatively blends history, audience participation, African traditions and the mass medias influences through pop culture to examine the mutation of a once legal pledge process. New professionals, graduate students and non-NPHC members are encouraged to attend.
ΓAMMA Initiative Back to Basics: 304A Jonathan Leon Values Academy Co-Chairman Back to Basics is an interactive program which focuses on the values within Greek Letter Organizations. The session will take the participants through a process of identifying and analyzing where these values fit into their daily lives.
All Shapes and Sizes: Find the right Advisory Model for Your Organization: 228B Lennon Jackson Director for Student Life and Activities, Howard University Finding the right Advisory model for your chapter is often a challenge, this roundtable interactive discussion will take a critical look at the strengths and challenges apparent and inherent in several advisory models. This session will tackle the advising issue from each stakeholders perspective.
How to Utilize Academic Resources and Chapter Advising: 304C Maria Lopez Student Support Services (SSS) Academic Counselor, Office of Supportive Services, Syracuse University Anthony Otero Assistant Director, Student Centers & Programming Services (SCPS), Syracuse University Being a student is hard enough, but being in a fraternity/sorority and dealing with life in and out the classroom can be even more stressful. Finding a way to navigate through an academic and social environment is not just a matter of survival, its the only way to achieve the ultimate goal. We can help you find a way to navigate your college career by utilizing your academic and chapter advisors.
