  • Designed for IFC and fraternity community leaders, this pre-conference will focus on the most critical issues impacting fraternity communities and the competencies necessary to effectively navigate these as a leadership team.

  • Does your community struggle with trust and unity? In this session, we will talk about the role of a College Panhellenic and its officers, how to navigate community challenges, and how appropriate use of the peer accountability process and intentional community building can help alleviate community concerns, such as trust and unity. Additionally, we will talk about the Promotion of the Sorority Experience policy and other recruitment-specific policies, how to move past the petty to address the real concerns, and how to use all the knowledge gained to set your community up for success. 

    This program is facilitated by the National Panhellenic Conference and is intended to educate College Panhellenic leaders and discuss trends, as well as create action plans for attendees.

  • Imagine this: You’ve just crossed into your organization and are riding the high of being a neo and then BOOM, you’re a chapter executive board member. So many times new(ish) members find themselves running complex organizations without any idea on where to begin. This program will give some helpful tips on where to start & talk about the importance of setting up a transition plan so that you’re the last line to feel like you’re starting from scratch.

Institutes

Institutes are free of charge and open to all conference attendees!

Registration for institutes is required when registering for the conference.

  • The Chapter Presidents Institute will provide resources, skills, and leadership development opportunities for chapter presidents of all councils in areas that are geared towards helping them succeed as leaders of their organizations. Participants will spend time with fellow presidents from across the country as they learn more about their leadership styles and how to accelerate progress within their chapters and communities by creating buy-in and influencing meaningful change. Whether the individual is a new chapter president or approaching the end of the term, participants will leave this academy inspired to lead and ready to take action to accelerate meaningful change.
