NGLA is interested in collecting your thoughts on a regional leadership event. NGLA would be so grateful if you took a few moments of your day to complete our quick survey. Thank you in advance! |

| NGLA is pleased to announce these special programs that will be offered at the 2018 NGLA Annual Conference in addition to the 85+ general educational programs!
Graduate Student Encounter!
Sponsored by ForCollegeForLife
Graduate students are the future of the fraternity/sorority profession, and NGLA is providing new opportunities for them to continue their professional journey. Designed specifically for graduate students, this track of programs will assist graduate students in reflecting on their experiences inside and outside the classroom. Participants will be encouraged to think strategically about their interests, skills, and values, particularly relating to fraternity and sorority life as a profession. Individuals participating will be asked to bring a resume and sign up for a mock interview.
This program is included in your registration cost as a graduate student. To enroll, please sign up for the Graduate Student Encounter! during conference registration.
Local Organization Institute
Local fraternities and sororities (i.e. organizations that exist only at their campus) are an important facet of the larger fraternal world. Lacking a national organization for support, these organizations need special attention in order to thrive. The NGLA Local Organization Institute is designed to do just that.
This one-day program during the annual conference will feature speakers who are local organization alumni and professionals with extensive experience advising local organizations to help the leaders of these organizations be successful. The programs will be interactive and feature topics on organizational improvement and alumni relations.
Culturally Based Organization Institute
The needs of culturally based Greek letter organizations are unique. From intake to hazing and from risk management to leadership development, this programming will provide a space to exchange ideas, learn from experts, and help us to continue to grow your organization the right way, to become stronger community advocates and help all members succeed.
The sessions will cover several relevant topics, such as designing intake and recruitment to help our organizations grow with members that meet our core principles. We won’t ignore the difficult topics, like hazing and risk management and will ensure that all our members have a good experience on campus. We will discuss council management, how to work with IFC/Panhellenic/NPHC and methods to get more support from your institution and fraternity/sorority advisor.
Advisor Academy
Sponsored by Phi Mu Delta
The 2018 NGLA Advisor Academy will be 9:30am-4:30pm on Saturday, February 24 at the Wyndham Grand Downtown in Pittsburgh, PA.
NGLA’s award-winning Advisor Academy brings together volunteer, alumni, and faculty advisors and advisory boards from around the region to share best practices and hear from industry leaders on issues affecting higher education and the interfraternal community. All sessions are facilitated by RISE Partnerships. This year’s registration fee remains $50 and includes the affiliation lunch.
