No matter whether your chapter initiates new members immediately or follows an extended eight‑week education process, it’s essential to provide a thoughtful orientation and a meaningful introduction to fraternity life. This session will invite you to share your most effective practices—how you help new members feel welcomed, build connections within the chapter, learn our history, and understand the operations that keep your chapter thriving.

We will also highlight key insights from our New Member Education guide, A Mighty Friendship, along with observations gathered during recent chapter visits.

Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 27th, at 6 PM Eastern. We look forward to an engaging conversation focused on creating a strong and supportive start for every new member.

One of the most meaningful aspects of fraternity life is the strength and breadth of our alumni network. Yet building consistent, intentional engagement with alumni can be challenging. How are we sharing updates from the chapter? What does effective preparation for Homecoming or an Alumni Reunion look like? Are we maintaining regular communication with our advisors, or only reaching out when issues arise? And most importantly, how do we ensure our alumni feel welcomed, valued, and connected to the chapter?

Alumni are eager to support our undergraduates, but they often aren’t sure where their help is most needed—just as many chapters aren’t always sure what to ask for. During this session, we’ll invite you to share how your chapter currently engages alumni, what you hope to improve, and what support would be most meaningful. We’ll also highlight best practices from chapters that have built strong, sustainable alumni relations programs.

Together, we can strengthen the bonds that make our fraternity experience truly lifelong and promote that “Psi U is For Life”.

Please mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 27th, at 7 PM Eastern. We look forward to an engaging conversation focused on creating a strong and supportive start for every new member.
