We Don’t Recruit? Black Greek Success Strategies

Member Registration: $75 / $82.50 / $95
Wednesday, December 4 — 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. ET
“We Don’t Recruit”! – A phrase that constantly resonates in chapters, councils, and Black Greek at campuses nationwide. Despite the ever-changing collegiate landscape, chapters with less than a handful of members, post global pandemic challenges, anti-DEI legislation and the nationwide repeal of affirmative action proponents of this philosophy still promote and firmly believe this idea.

Discretion: CBFO Hazing, Pledging and Intake
Presenter: Rasheed Ali Cromwell, Esq., president, The Harbor Institute

Saturday, December 7 — 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. ET
83% of hazing deaths involve alcohol but what about the other 17%? Many national media incidents focus on these high profile alcohol related deaths. There is a different, however, more elusive side of hazing that is not addressed in the national narrative. This disparity causes a distortion on the perception, perspective and expectations as it relates to the understanding, awareness and accountability with hazing in culturally-based fraternal organizations (CBFOs).
