R. B. Stewart Day
2020-03-31 | NY
BACKGROUND
R.B. Stewart, Phi Omicron (Wisconsin 1923), was best known to the outside world as a “Father of the G.I. Bill”, by establishing post-World War II training programs that brought thousands of returning veterans to campuses across the country and fueled national growth and prosperity. He was also responsible for a nearly 40-year career at Purdue, where his pioneering ways of financing expansion of the endowment and physical plant and thus increasing enrollment seven-fold.
Brother Stewart served as the National President from 1940 to 1942 and, later in 1983, made a generous donation allowing Alpha Chi Rho to purchase the first official free-standing Fraternity Headquarters in Neptune, New Jersey. He used his gift as a challenge to every active Chapter to match his gift. 100% of the Chapters gave back.
March 31st (RB’s birthday) is the AXPEF Annual Day of Giving, where all Brothers are encouraged to give in the spirit of R.B. Since 2017, we have raised over $32,000 in just three 24-hour campaigns, with most of the donors are undergraduate men. All graduate Brothers are encouraged to give as much as they can. As a thank you, Brothers who donate at least $75 will receive an exclusive garnet and white AXP car magnet.

InDeed Institute
2020-07-06 - 2020-07-30 | National HQ
The purpose of the InDeed Institute is to educate rising leaders in the Fraternity on how the Landmarks and principles of Character, Honor, and Integrity affect their Chapters and daily lives.

This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the physical InDeed Institute to be cancelled. There is no way that the normal curriculum of InDeed can be taught virtually, so the Fraternity will hold virtual sessions throughout the summer on topics that are still beneficial to these rising leaders. This year’s InDeed will be open to not only two or three members per Chapter / Colony but the entire undergraduate population. There are limited seats for Graduate Brothers to attend Sessions 1 and 2.
Registration closed on June 22, 2020.
Each CHAPTER is required to have two (2) rising leaders attend each session of the the Institute (i.e. New Members from 2018 or rising sophomores/juniors). Each COLONY is required to have three (3) rising leaders attend the sessions. Attendance is open to all resident members and is highly encouraged.
Failure to attend the Institute sessions will cause the Chapter’s good standing with the National Fraternity to be jeopardized.
If you have any questions, please contact the National Office at hq@alphachirho.org or by calling 732-869-1895.
The schedule is:
Session 1: July 6, 2020 at 7:30 PM EST
Surviving and Thriving in Uncertain Times by Karen Litzinger
Description: With so much upheaval and stress during pandemic times, this program will give resources for coping to help stay emotionally healthy and productive at work and at home. Topics include strategies for wellness, perspective, anxiety, resiliency, negative thoughts, professional development and career planning. Remote workshop via Zoom with hands-on exercises, polls, break-out rooms, and time for interaction and questions via chat room or direct video.
Session 2: July 13, 2020 at 7:30 PM EST
Trauma and COVID-19: Their Impact on College Students by Brother Alex Alperin (Beta Phi, ’09)
Description: As many as 68% of adults have experienced some form of trauma at least once in their lives (Pappano, 2014; The National Council, 2013). Throughout the life span, trauma can manifest itself in substance abuse, depression, anxiety, learning difficulties, and other mental health disorders. This is especially relevant to college students as research indicates that 12-50% of them meet the criteria for one or more of the common mental disorders (Bruffaerts et al., 2018). With the COVID-19 pandemic this statistic is probably higher. As fraternities offer an environment of communal support, it is important for them to be trauma informed since a fraternal brotherhood can potentially diminish the impact that psychological trauma has had or can have on one of its members.
The goal of this workshop, designed for Alpha Chi Rho members, is to help its participants understand how to incorporate trauma informed approaches in their chapters. In this workshop, trauma will be defined, and its effect will be summarized. Discussion will then focus on its neurobiological impact and the principles of trauma informed organizations, as well as compassion fatigue among its members. Finally, COVID-19 will be discussed in regard to fears and the impact it might have on members. This workshop will be research based, interactive, illustrative, and practical.
Session 3: Beginning July 6, 2020, must be completed by July 30, 2020*
Interfraternity Council Recruitment Digital Classroom
Description: Phired Up Productions has developed two online courses that discuss how the recruitment game has changed, but the way that we make meaningful connections and relations has not. This classroom is for IFC fraternity members. It’s packed full of videos, lessons, and resources to help you learn the Fundamentals of recruitment, how to maximize your recruitment efforts with technology, how to market your Chapter, the art of Social Excellence™ and how to make authentic connections with PNMs, how to use values-based selection to find the right members, how to create a recruitment system for the future (including an example of a successful recruitment plan!), how to Recruit Digitally, and more!
*Note that all Recruitment Chair(s), Recruitment Committee members, and members that joined in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020 are required to complete this course.

Love, Mom & Dad: Turning tragedy into progress
2020-09-20 19:00 - 20:00 | NY
Brothers,
The month of September is Hazing Prevention Month. The North American Interfraternity Conference is sponsoring a free event for all members and advisors on Sunday September 20, 2020 at 7PM EST. You are highly encouraged to attend as it will help with your Fraternity and Institution accreditation.

Love, Mom & Dad:
Turning tragedy into progress
Sunday, September 20, 7:00 p.m. Eastern
(Zoom & Facebook Live)

The Anti-Hazing Coalition will host a live nationwide presentation and discussion to kick off HazingPrevention.Org’s National Hazing Prevention Week on Sunday, September 20 at 7 p.m. Eastern.

As many campuses have moved away from in-person experiences this fall, the AHC wants to ensure students receive hazing prevention education. The AHC parents will present a program streamed live on social media to share their sons’ stories and educate current students about hazing prevention. The program will include Q&A with the parents.

These families each suffered unimaginable loss as a result of fraternity hazing. They are here to share their stories and to challenge ALL fraternity/sorority members to take up the fight to end hazing now. If we are not actively part of solving this problem, then we are responsible for its continued persistence. Whether you’ve been hazed, know that hazing is happening on your campus, or even if you’ve hazed one of your members in the past, we must all actively take part in this solving this problem so that no family has to endure this kind of tragedy. Let’s be the generation of fraternity and sorority members who end hazing once and for all.

Parents currently scheduled to participate include:

Deb Debrick, her son Dalton died after a hazing incident at Texas Tech University
Steve and Rae Ann Gruver, their son Max died after a hazing incident at Louisiana State University
Lianne Kowiak, her son Harrison died after a hazing incident at Lenoir-Rhyne University
Jim and Evelyn Piazza, their son Tim died after a hazing incident at Penn State University
Kathleen Wiant, her son Collin died after a hazing incident at Ohio University

THIS IS A FREE VIRTUAL EVENT AND OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS/ADVISORS/COACHES.

DignityU: Building Up or Tearing Down by Mike Dilbeck
2020-09-30 19:00 - 2020-10-01 21:00 | NY
IFC and Chapter Officers are encouraged to attend a free presentation of

DignityU: Building Up or Tearing Down
by Mike Dilbeck

made possible thanks to the gracious support of Sigma Nu Fraternity.

This is the first in a series of programming offered by the NIC Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Task Force.

Choose one of two sessions:
September 30 at 7:00 p.m. EST
October 1 at 7:00 p.m. EST
(Due to licensing, this will not be recorded.)

(After logging into FSCentral to register, select from events at the top.)

The primary objective of DignityU is to identify and distinguish the essential elements of dignity, as distinguished by Dr. Donna Hicks, internationally renowned authority on dignity and expert consultant to DignityU. There is also a call to look in to how dignity impacts a person’s own thoughts and actions, in both their lives and in their respective organizations. More importantly, a key component will be to demonstrate ways to intervene against the personal violations of someone’s dignity, while recognizing the difference made by respecting the dignity in others.

As a filmmaker and video producer for over 30 years, Mike produced a film in 2008 that would change the course of his career — and his life. RESPONSE ABILITY: A Call for Courageous Leadership, the award-winning educational program on bystander intervention for 40 organizations and over 300 college campuses, immediately became a distinct and special project. This one struck a chord. This one caused a demand. This one sparked a movement.

After 12 years of leading this movement for bystander empowerment — and personally surviving two types of cancer — Mike launched DignityU in 2018. Here, Mike educates and empowers us all to make the choice in every interaction to build someone up rather than tear them down. To honor dignity — our inherent birthright to feel valuable and worthy.

Learning Outcomes:

As a result of attending the program, students will learn:

How to define the term “dignity.”
How to describe how dignity impacts their daily thoughts and actions.
How to distinguish the essential elements of dignity
How to identify ways the elements of dignity are violated. How to recognize the difference they can make for others by honoring their dignity
