NGLA’s First-Ever Philanthropy Project
We’re committed to “Helping Put the Northeast Back Together.” In the aftermath of the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, we can think of no better way to help our northeast communities than to help those still rebuilding their homes and lives.
Working with disaster relief organizations, we have learned there is a need for gift cards from businesses such as Home Depot, Lowe's, and Sears. We are asking everyone to help us make an impact by donating one or more gift cards to help Hurricane Sandy victims in denominations of $25 or less.
We will be collecting these during registration at NGLA. For each gift card you donate, you will receive an entry for a prize of appreciation. Please share this with your brothers and sisters and let’s see how much we can raise! | |

Kim Novak-- Let’s REALLY Talk Values!
February 22, 9-10:15 am, Convention Center Ballroom B & C

Rick Barnes-- Living the Dream of Our Founders
February 23, 9-10:00 am, Convention Center Ballroom B & C
Fraternities and sororities have existed on American college campuses for more than two centuries, shaping the experiences of millions of men and women. Today, there is fiery debate between advocates of the fraternity/sorority experience and those who feel it’s become more harmful than beneficial. When we live up to the dreams of our founding fathers & mothers, our communities are one of the best leadership and values-building experiences available to a young man or woman today. But, that takes a deliberate commitment to build relevant fraternities and sororities that work together, add to the campus and fulfill their stated missions.
