Hi uh good morning my name is Jasmine Hardy  I am the assistant director of fraternity and   sorority life in the center for student  engagement activities and Leadership and   welcome to the culturally based uh fraternity  Authority intake and and recruitment webinar  

So I’m going to take you through a few  slides that are just going to talk about   our culturally based organizations and then also  about how your student um if they are interested   how they will go about expressing interest  and also join our community and speaking of  

Our community we are a community of 5,000  plus students across 52 chapters and four councils and to just share a bit about our  councils um like I mentioned we have four   first starting off with our inter fraternity  Council IFC which is 24 all men fraternities  

That are recognized nationally we also have  our Multicultural Greek council also known as   mgc which is four organizations all recognized  nationally and then we also have our National   panhel Council nphc which is three sororities and  four fraternities all recognized nationally and we  

Also have our panhellenic association panhellenic  for short um which is 18 all women sororities who   are also recognized nationally and so today for  our culturally based organizations I’m going to   be highlighting about our Multicultural Greek  Council and our National PanhelCouncil but also  

Wanted to start off with just sharing what is  a culturally based um fraternity organization   um culturally based fraternal organizations or  cbfo are social organizations that are aligned   towards special interests in a culture or  cultural identity um so therefore the ones  

That I’ll mention today a lot some of them  are historically African-American um which   therefore founded by African-American college  age students during their time um others are   historically Latin X or historically founded by  Jewish students um the list goes on so so that’s  

What it means to be culturally based um again  anchoring in culture or a cultural identity   however despite of the historical foundings of  uh cbfo membership is open and welcome to all   racial and cultural identities so there is  no um cut off or you don’t have to identify  

With a certain culture or a cultural identity to  express interest and potentially join any of these organizations so first I’m going to highlight  our Multicultural Greek Council um as I mentioned   before we have four organizations that are  recognized nationally Alpha Epsilon 5 sorority  

Alpha silanda National Fraternity Incorporated  which is a co-ed uh fraternity uh Sigma Lambda   Gamma National sorority Incorporated which  is a historically Latin x uh sorority but   has transitioned into a multicultural uh sorority  and we also have Thea newai Multicultural sorority  

Incorporated and um we are expanding our  council um by welcoming Delta Capa Delta   Incorporated in the spring of 24 and they are  a South Asian um oriented service sorority so   we’re definitely looking forward to opening that  those doors for that new organization to join our

Community next up we have the National  PanhelCouncil um the National PanhelCouncil   um its history is that it is the umbrella for  a total of nine historically African-American   fraternities and sororities um therefore meaning  that they all have a history of being founded  

By African-American students on various campuses  some of them being historical black colleges and   universities or predominantly white institutions  also known as pwi Miami University is fortunate   to have seven chartered um NPC recognized  organizations we have uh four fraternities   Alpha 5 Alpha Fraternity Incorporated Capal Alpha  SI Fraternity Incorporated Omega SciFi Fraternity  

Incorporated and F Sigma fraternity Incorporated  with our sororities we have Alpha Capa Alpha   soorrity Incorporated Delta Sigma Theta sorority  Incorporated Zeta beta sorority Incorporated and   in the spring of 24 um the council is looking to  welcome Sig gamar Ros who already Incorporated  

Again who is part of the national umbrella  of nphc so we are they’re not officially   chartered on our campus but we are looking  for them to be chartered by the end of spring 24 so across the board um regardless of the  council so from IFC mgc MC and panhellenic um  

As a community we have base requirements for  all interested me uh potential new members um   no matter what year no matter uh the organization  this is is our base of requirements and policies   so academic standing um the student must have  completed one full-time fall or spring semester  

So therefore for example if it is a first semester  first year student they could not join um any of   our organizations um until the spring um we have  a great requirement of a 2.5 minimum cumulative  

GPA some chapters um do require higher so some  may say You must have a 2.6 or 2.75 um but our   base is 2.5 but we do go by what the national  headquarters of that organization may say for   membership students must have um 12 college credit  hours um from Miami University or another credited  

University um that does not include any um AP  credits or any credits they may have received   in high school has to be from Miami University or  another accredited University um during their time   of being a enrolled student students that are um  also interested in joining our community um must  

Complete an online hazing prevention and education  module um we sent out that information to them um   for them to complete so that they may be fully  prepared and truly understand also um safe   practices and what does um hazing prevention mean  and what does that look like for our community  

Across the board intake also occurs at the  discretion of each chapter so um for mgc and nphc   this looks a little bit different compared to IFC  and panhellenic um there is not a set formal set  

Of days that are mgc MCG sorry mgc chapters and  nphc chapters um conduct their intake um it is to   the discretion of each chapter um they are allowed  to choose when they want to do intake so some may  

Do it in the fall and some may do it in the spring  or they may do both um but it really relies on   what their national headquarters um allows them  to do and we help facilitate that um intake so  

Again it’s not a formal set date or days um of the  Academic Year it can occur either in the fall or   the spring or both and also of completed required  membership intake packet so mgc chapters and nphc  

Chapters get a membership intake packet that they  must fill out on behalf of our office letting us   know their dates of when they’re going to conduct  membership and also who um has been verified and   approved to uh join their organization so there’s  a lot of uh communication with our office and also  

The chapters and also their guiding headquarters  to talk about their intake um practices and process and to touch a bit on uh colins  law hazing prevention and Reporting um the   university um and abides by the Ohio state  law that hazing is not condoned it is not  

Accepted um and failure to report or intervene  may also constitute a violation um Collins law   is a newly um upheld law in the state of  Ohio where there’s a lot of requirements   now of Institutions like Miami and across  the state um that we are very CED and open  

About any violations that may come across on  campus um that we provide the hazy prevention   education for our students before they join  our organizations and that they are continued   to be educated as well and then that there are  harsher penalties um for those that uh conduct  

Hazing and for those that are knowledgeable um  this QR code on the screen will take you to our   landing page to learn more about um our steps  about within Collins law and the Ohio state  

Law and then also what we do as a university to  uphold um these rules and regulation set by the   state and also the extra precautionary things  that we do as an office to make sure again   that everybody is educated and well aware  that hazing is not condoned here at Miami

University so now I’m going to touch on a little  bit about expressing interest and joining a   chapter um these are kind of one and the same  but there are various steps um that your student   should consider when they want to express interest  and potentially join a chapter within mgc and

Nphc so first expressing an interest in a  culturally based organization um is highly   encouraged that your student does research there’s  no formalized recruitment structure so again there   aren’t set dat days like again compared to like  IFC and Panhel where your student can just can  

Come express interest learn about everyone um but  we highly suggest that research is done about the   National Organization check out their website see  what that organization is all about at its core   and then to also do any research that um you can  with the actual chapter that’s on campus we also  

Highlight encourage students to get involved  um follow the chapters on social media follow   the organ the overall council on social media  as well our students do a lot of posting about   events and programs and anything that they may  want the community to know they do that a lot  

On social media particularly on Instagram um also  our community is a very big thriving community and   huge on programming and doing events that bring  uh people out to whether it’s about scholarship   whether it’s about being educated on a certain  topic if it’s for some social aspect there are  

A lot of programs and events that are chapters  that I mentioned before that they do across the   whole Academic Year to get people out and engaged  in the community and engage with them um so if   your a student wants to express interest I highly  suggest going to these programs and and events um  

We don’t say go to everything because they are  students first and they have other interests   and passions but um attending the programs and  attending the events the students will notice   and then they that’ll be a nice way for them  to know that this person may be interested in  

Our organization um nphc and mgc they both host  seminars where students can come and learn a lot   more about the chapters on campus is and also  what the overarching um meaning and purpose is   of each Council so these are really great ways  for your student to again dive a little bit more  

Get a lot more information ask certain questions  um that they may be uh not too sure to ask or at   least get some um answers from students that are  currently serving in these chapters and serving in  

These leadership roles with our community and last  but not least but um engage with the members uh we   love students to again come to the programs and  engage that way but also talk and make friends um  

The students that are part of these organizations  they are students too um they did not come to   school already being Greek and knowing all things  so um but they are really big on community and   building friendships first be uh way before they  even start to talk about their organizations um  

But they recognize that this is a community thing  and that they also are looking for people that   just want to connect and also to um make the  most out of their college experience here at Miami so talking about joining a culturally  based organization it looks different across  

The board for all organizations within mgc and  nphc but these three boxes will kind of share   the overarching um steps that happens when once  the student has expressed interest and want to   and and has made a decision to really pursue  membership um with a particular organization  

So first there is a formal informational Rush um a  formal informational or Rush is the organization’s   initial beginning steps of intake for potential  new members it is an opportunity for aspirants   to learn more about the organization and the  chapter of Interest um so therefore this is all  

Meaning that there’s um probably more deeper  sharing out of what it means to be a member   of this particular organization what are some  requirements that aren’t really usually shared   out to the public um I know I mentioned about  like a nphc seminar or mgc seminar but that is  

A lot of high level things kind of highlighting  like this is what we value and things of that   nature but a formal informational Rush will  really get to the nitty gritty and to the Deep   core of each organization um at that point after  that there will be application and interviews U  

Most organizations require for an application  to also verify if this one of the student is   enrolled actually enrolled in school have the  required GPA that the National Organization   requires and a lot of other different steps that  um organizations may need upon that application  

And then after applications are submitted and  reviewed um an invitation for an interview is   offered so again once things are um reviewed  and things check off um fine um organizations   will discuss and um offer interviews to those  that they will all uh talk more about with  

About joining their organization and after the  interviews the there is an invitation and then   new member education begins um organizations  review all aspirant and decide on who to an   extent an official invitation to join their  organization and once that invitation is  

Accepted then new members will move forward with  their new member education process um that new   member education process again looks different  across the board for everybody um and there are   a lot of different things that people do again  that’s unique to their organization that’s what  

Makes a lot of our culturally based ORS here on  campus so especially unique because it’s not the   same across the board for everybody again these  are overarching steps but um Everybody conducts   them a little bit different different ways  um that again make the chapters unique and

Special so just to touch on a little bit about  membership expectations and opportunities so um   this is after people have been interviewed after  they have been extended invitation um and then   they have become members of that organization  of that Council um and then ultimately of the  

Community here at Miami University so first  thing it’s go always going to be a continued   uh education process um members of uh mgc  and nphc they will go through a new member   orientation um that is something that I lead  so so that they new members also recognize  

Again what they are joining what does it mean to  actually be a part of this Council and a part of   their organization but also get them up to speed  about the community um the expectations that we   have of them as members the things that they are  now um have access to leadership opportunities  

Talking about um ways for them to get engaged  and get involved and again make the most out   of the experience that they are looking for  as they join um our Greek Community second   um they will learn about policies and even  though they are already students and that  

They already have to follow the student code  of conduct but now there are more policies and   procedures that they need to abide by such  as Council constitutions bylaws um learning   more in depth about Collins law and hazing uh  policies and and the things that come with that  

As well so a lot more policies and things to  learn about things that they need to be aware   of so that they can be outstanding members  of our community and third um just knowing   that there is support um our office is highly  um fortunate to have a very full staff across  

The board to make sure that this each student  um is supported each chapter is supported each   student if they need that individual support as  well um they know that they have it in our office and just some expectations of membership um  first and foremost we do expect them to be  

Students um because that’s what they came to  school to be so we do expect them to maintain   High um academic academic excellence and working  towards the ultimate goal of graduation but we do   expect them to be involved in of course in their  respective councils whether that’s in mgc or nphc  

But as well as other organizations and clubs  to build a well-rounded portfolio um we don’t   want them to be involved in everything because  that’s hard to maintain but we do want them to   of course you know stay tapped in with their  passions and their interests um even if it’s  

Outside of fraternity and sorority life and  third uh citizenship giving to the community   to their brothers and their sisters and to  themselves to strengthen the Miami experience   we expect them to be outstanding citizens  um but also knowing that they are the ones  

Being looked at as by raising the bar um as they  represent our community of course we want them   to be representing the Greater Community  outside of um our 5,000 plus students as well so now I’m just going to transition into  just some helpful information um just things to  

Know um as students uh join their their chapter  of interest um then a PO then uh by default   joining the council that’s affiliated with uh that  chapter these are just some things that we love   for students to know um there is a high demand  in commitment and engagement uh for your chapter  

And Council um mgc and nphc are the smaller of  um two of the smallest councils um across all   four um nphc will probably have about um a little  less than 30 uh students that are members across  

The board in all those organizations and nphc  will have about 25 or just a little less than   30 as well so very small chapters um and then  therefore a small Council so there is a high   demand in commitment and engagement because  of those smaller numbers um requirements from  

Stakeholders and entities so not just our office  um but their National headquarters including their   local state State and Regional organization uh  leadership there’s a lot of people that need a   lot of things um and so it’s very important that  they understand that there are a lot of people  

That are here for support but also will help their  chapter function and run smoothly and we want them   to know that they’re not only just joining a  chapter but they’re also joining a council um   it’s very important that they recognize that  because again um with the chapters being small  

The council is also small and so is not just your  chapter but it’s also Council work that needs to   be done too um both councils do an amazing job  about making sure that they are also well known  

In the community and not just on their separate  entities or their Orcs but as a collective that   they are strong even though they may be small  but they are Mighty and but it’s helpful when   everybody knows that there’s Council work to be  done as well um some CBF require an amount of  

Community service hours for application um so  if your student is interested definitely uh be   very important for them to start generating some  um community service hours because um don’t want   to get caught up in being interested and then you  don’t have any service hours anywhere um so then  

You may that sometimes can be hard to come by  depending on what semester and when you decide   to express interest um application fees total  cost and new member fees very per organization   so I do get a lot of questions sometimes about how  much how much does joining an organization cost it  

Varies across the board from each organization  so it is hard to pinpoint an actual number but   I usually do say that um I would tell a student  to anticipate about 800 to maybe a little over a  

Thousand um again that is um those first initial  new member fees and then once they do become a   member um basically maintaining membership um  it’s a lot less than that but those initial   fees um can be pretty high in the upper hundreds  um and some organizations maybe um over $1,000 and  

Then lastly uh the intake process varies for  per organizations again some chapters may say   hey we’re going to do intake in the fall um and  not in the spring or we’re going to do it in the  

Spring and not in the fall again that is to their  decision and what works best for them of the time   in that Academic Year and sometimes some orgs may  say we’re not going to do intake at all this year  

Um just due to maybe the needs or whatever the  chapter may have going on but again it is to it   is their decision um when they believe is best  to do a intake process for new members but all  

In all all those organizations uh amongst U mgc  and nphc all organizations honor that um aspirant   or potential new members or those of interest um  it is a personal decision um when people want to   join and so for example like IFC and panhellenic  is a bit more public um everybody is going through  

The same process and um expressing interest at the  same time mgc and nphc those that are interested   um in joining or going through the process of  joining it is more so kept a a secret because  

Then they will do a grand reveal of joining um  that organization at the end of their new member   process so this is uh something culturally um  amongst nphc and mgc and so there therefore   for that’s what I mean by um making it a personal  decision because there is a grand uh celebration  

And reveal um a presentation if you will at the  end of that person’s uh new member education process so thank you so much for joining  me um in this webinar hopefully um you   got a lot of information out of it and there  are some questions answered but uh please do  

Not hesitate to contact us um again my name is  Hardy I am the assistant director of fraternity   and sorority life um I do have the pleasure of  advising mgc and NC here here at Miami um here  

Is my contact information my emails the best way  to get um in touch with me but also if you have   other general questions again I’m more than happy  to answer them or you can reach us at our Cliff
