| | | 2013 NGLA Annual Conference Early-Bird Registration Deadline is Around the Corner! Early-bird registration is still available for The Northeast Greek Leadership Association Annual Conference in Hartford, CT, but not for much longer! The conference will take place at the Connecticut Convention Center on Thursday, February 21 - Sunday, February 24. NGLA members enjoy a registration fee of $190 a person before January 23, 2013, and one advisor registration is free with every 10 student registrants.
A new membership fee replaces the old Association fee that was usually charged upon registration due to the number of chapters on your campus. Information on the new membership fee can be found at https://ngla.memberclicks.net/renew-membership. Non-members will register at a rate of $250 per person. After January 23, the registration rate increases to $220 a person for members and $280 for non-members.

| | | | National Ritual Celebration Week Contest
As part of a National Ritual Celebration Week (NRCW), Phi Mu Fraternity is hosting a contest to sponsor professional speaker Rick Barnes at one campus in 2013. NRCW will take place March 3 – 9, 2013. Barnes will be presenting his program, Living the Dreams of Our Founders.
Program Synopsis: Fraternities and sororities have existed on North 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. Truth is, when we live up to the dreams of our founding fathers and mothers, our communities provide one of the best leadership and values-building experiences available to a young man or woman today. But, that takes a deliberate commitment to building diverse and relevant fraternities and sororities that work together to add to the campus and fulfill their stated missions.
All submissions are due January 20, 2013 by 5:00 p.m. EST. If you have any questions about the contest, please contact Gabby Leon at gleon@phimu.org.
