| | | | | Getting Strategic
In 2011, the Northeast Greek Leadership Association embarked on a strategic planning process designed to improve the Association’s ability to better serve fraternity and sorority members in the Northeast. Through this process, the board developed a comprehensive mission: “NGLA builds community among students from a variety of fraternal experiences, challenges members to align their actions with fraternal values, and empowers advocates to transform and improve their communities.
The strategies to accomplish this mission and vision are as follows:
- Use mission, vision and values to drive expansion of services
- Strengthen board infrastructure, operations and communication
- Expand and cultivate volunteer base
- Improve communication with members
- Leverage talents of partners to create value
- Formalize mechanisms for defining, tracking and celebrating achievement
- Create value NGLA membership through access to resources
- Build community within diversity
Since 2011, NGLA has worked diligently to achieve these objectives. Click the link below to learn more about what the Association has accomplished to date. |

When King Charles II granted Roger Williams the charter to found the State of Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations for new found freedom, he referred to its formation as a “lively experiment.” The NASPA Region 1 Fraternity & Sorority Knowledge Community in partnership with the Northeast Greek Leadership Association (NGLA) will be hosting a “lively experiment”--a regional drive-in focused upon enhancing the research agenda in fraternity/sorority life. We hope you will join us in engaging in conversations with colleagues as we strive to promote research and assessment initiatives and support existing research on fraternities and sororities.
