What is Social Justice?
Adams, Bell and Griffin (2007) define social justice as both a process and a goal. "The goal of social justice education is full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs. Social justice includes a vision of society that is equitable and all members are physically and psychologically safe and secure." From the book: Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice: A Sourcebook Edited by Maurianne Adams, Lee Anne Bell, and Pat Griffin.
This special pre-conference workshop will provide an opportunity for students to examine the complex dynamics of oppression (racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableness, classism, etc.) and to develop strategies to foster positive change on their campuses and in their Greek communities.
Students who attend this workshop will be given the opportunity to explore the identities that make up who they are and better understand the extent to which these identities impact all they do. Through facilitated activities and exercises along with small group dialogue, participants will engage in conversations that will challenge and support them in their journey toward understanding how they can each - individually - impact our global community.
The Intake Equation

Intake minus Hazing equals What?
The Intake Equation gives Black and culturally-based Greeks a chance to openly and honestly discuss the most critical issues facing their organizations. From the elimination of hazing to the thoughtful intake of quality members, this program takes a very real and hard-hitting approach to the hurdles each of these groups face. If you want to get real about the tough issues facing your groups, this is your chance. No filters, no public relations, no niceties. Created by members of these groups, The Intake Equation will help you develop actionable ideas to help you build and maintain a legacy of success with your organization in a constantly changing world and campus environment. Best of all, you will learn how to shape your membership in a manner consistent with the mission and values of your organization.

Quality Drives Quantity! Learn how to get BOTH!!
Since 2004, Recruitment Boot Camp has been changing the face of the Greek communities across North America. RBC has taught over 7,000 student leaders how to massively improve their recruitment process. Results have been outstanding, even up to a 40% increase in a single year!
After a brief evaluation of the current recruitment situation back home, chapter and council leaders will learn how to address their needs through a simple but effective plan. Participants will learn the specific steps needed to use their organizational values to create a better brand identity and learn how to combat the negative Greek image. They will also learn how to implement the proven 10-Step plan that leads chapters to consistent recruitment success as well as the 5 Council Responsibilities. Participants will leave with the details needed to make an immediate impact on their chapter or community.
