NGLA Student Chat Facebook Group
The Social Media team is excited to announce that our NGLA Student Chat Facebook group is up and running! If you know any students who are looking to participate in a cross-campus exchange of ideas, best practices, and support, encourage them to join. It is a closed group, so any requests sent will be approved by an admin. We ask that you send along the names of students who have decided to join, so we can keep track of who we're granting access to.

We're confident that this forum will provide a positive space for students to learn from and engage with each other. If you have any resources that you would like us to include in the group, please feel free to email them to mariaquattrochi@gmail.com.

Collaborative Effort Brings College Panhellenic and IFC Officer Training to Regional Conferences
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and four regional interfraternal leadership programs are partnering to bring council officer training to students in 2017.

In its pilot year, new Interfraternity Council (IFC) Academy curriculum will be facilitated at four regional conferences and new College Panhellenic Academy curriculum will be facilitated at two conferences. Programming will emphasize interfraternal leadership, establish a community mindset and goals, and take a deep dive into officer-specific training. Program collaborators are focused on recruiting seasoned content experts to deliver training. NPC will host its third annual College Panhellenic Academy in late January in addition to the regional program pilots.


“I hate that chapter, but I don’t know WHY!”: 3 Ways to Transition from Competition to Collaboration 
Would you rate the organizations on your campus as being more competitive or collaborative? If your campus is like mine, then the fraternities and sororities may get along on the surface, but behind closed doors (and sometimes not so behind) there are divisive rivalries and unhealthy competition. I am on a quest to help fraternities, sororities, and councils become more collaborative. Here are three ways how to do just that:
  1. Stop fighting over the pie, and make the pie bigger
  2. Create opportunities for informal and formal networks to grow
  3. Create a shared vision that is bigger than one organization
