the balancing act

As student leaders, we want to balance it all – academics, involvement, and a personal life and we often put on the act as if we do it all so well. It seems all three need your attention at the same time. You do not want to let you or anyone else down. In “The Balancing Act,” we will talk about ways to be a person, student and student leader and how all three can work together in harmony instead of balance. You will understand how to better prioritize, keep mental health a focus, ensure you do not waiver from academic pursuits and learn how to lead your organizations effectively through building a collaborative, values-driven team all working toward organizational success.

READY, SET, RECRUIT

For too long, our recruitment practices have been focused on outdated techniques that don’t accurately represent our values and the lifelong benefit of joining a fraternity or sorority organization. Plus, we have shifted away from building relationships during the process. Our campuses are changing, so the same set of events, trainings and marketing won’t work any longer. It’s time to assess what you are doing and use your purpose to reframe your work. Let’s create more meaningful events, instill inclusive practices, focus on human connection, and create community buy-in to growth. Whether you are recruiting in-person or virtually, building a new strategy will help you more effectively find those ready for membership.

Program can be customized based on council, general fraternity and sorority audience or student organization audience

MAKE YOUR FOUNDERS PROUD

What would it look like if we refocused our community’s actions to actually be in alignment with what our founders intended? Would your founders recognize your organization today? Make Your Founders Proud challenges leaders to take a more critical look at the state of their communities and chapters to determine what must change to ensure their legacies continue. It’s time to get to the root of the issues and create actual solutions. Through honest dialogue and tough conversation, this program encourages all to look beyond competition and ego, take accountability for their actions, and understand how they can help create a more sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking fraternal movement. We have the potential to be the organizations our founders always hoped for. Let’s make them proud.
