Values Recommendations - 10/26/09

“Behave ethically and responsibly at all time as befits membership in a values-based community”

1. The CalGreeks Community, through the student governing councils, establishes and approves values for the entire Fraternity and Sorority community at UC Berkeley every five years. (This could be as simple as approving the 4 pillars – leadership, scholarship, friendship, service).

2. All promotional materials (for the CalGreeks community, the governing councils, and the chapters) should reflect the values of the CalGreeks Community.

3. The CalGreeks Community, through the student governing councils, creates a set of minimum standards/expectations for all Fraternities and Sororities at UC Berkeley and revises annually (i.e. a minimum GPA to be a chapter in good standing, minimum number of service hours to perform, minimum percentage of members involved, etc.).

4. Produce a set of overall learning outcomes for being a member of a fraternity or sorority at Berkeley, and use these to assess how well these are achieved.

Growth Recommendations - 10/25/09

With the increasing budget cuts to the UC Berkeley campus, the success of Fraternity & Sorority Life at the University is going to be dependent on the support and resources provided to this group. There are many chapters on the campus that have been established at the University for over a 100 years, and at the same time there are other chapters who have been on the campus for less than 30 years. In order to continue the growth of fraternities and sororities, the University needs to provide resources for all these chapters to grow. Not all groups have the means or funds to grow organizationally; in order to help some of these fraternities and sororities grow, they will need to be given the resources that they do not have access to. There are some organizations, who continually try to “re-invent” the wheel, because they don’t have access to best practices for officer transition, mentorship, recruitment strategies, and membership development.

In addition the image of fraternity & sorority life needs an overhaul. Parties and socials are the stereotypes that are often portrayed in the media, but there are other values these organizations have in their mission statements like brotherhood/sisterhood, academics, philanthropy, leadership, and cultural awareness. Usually the stereotypes are the images that are getting front page headlines, while the core values are not shown in the media. These images affect the recruitment aspects of fraternities and sororities, so there is a need to change the image.

Finally, growth equates to a long standing (somewhat eternal) status quo, whereby the members of the chapters not only know what they're doing, but have the resources to achieve their goals including recruitment, programming, community service, and graduating. The organizations may not necessarily grow in numbers, but in strength. This growth solidifies each organizations individual presence on campus and guarantees a long standing relationship with the academic and surrounding communities. Here are some of the recommendations from the Growth committee to help fraternity and sorority life grow:

1. MCGC, NPHC, Panhellenic, and IFC shall create a fund and work with the Daily Cal or any other media outlet to promote and publish their philanthropic and scholarship events and awards in order to give a more positive image than just parties and socials. The councils need to start promote a more positive image of themselves. This is a marketing war. The types of stories making the papers are usually negative, so councils will need to be more proactive in order to develop a more positive image, stressing that fraternities and sororities are values-based organizations. Having good data on service hours, philanthropy totals, involvement and awards are crucial to “making the case” for the community.

2. Fraternity and sorority life will need to host an annual, mandatory retreat for fraternities and sororities. This will need to be funded by the University, chapter dues to their councils, sponsorship, or some combination. There will need to be a minimum of 2 members from each chapter, the chapter president and one other executive officer. At the retreat, membership will learn teambuilding, “best practices” and similarities organizations have with each other. At this retreat, all groups should be made aware of resources, which are offered by the University, as well as Fraternity and Sorority Life.

3. In line with the Support committee, there needs to be ample Fraternity & Sorority life staff to assist in the development of fraternities and sororities. This is essential in order to give the proper resources to help with the growth of organizations. Staffing trends for similar offices throughout the country can be obtained to see if the office is in line with staffing best practices.

4. Fraternities and sororities should use their public relations/social chairs in order to provide more positive insightful information at council meetings. They should regularly seek out the help of other organizations within their council and Greek community, whenever possible. (Having more than 1 organization partake in an event not only lowers the cost & manpower but it also demonstrates the strength of the Greek community.)

5. (In terms of the MCGC & NPHC) Funding should be given by the University to invest in development workshops that the councils want to focus on developing. These should be geared at assisting the existing chapters to grow as opposed to recruiting new chapters. Possible moratorium for another year so organizations that are already on campus can start developing as organizations.

6. At the end of each rush period/new member intake/process, the new members should partake in a workshop that will familiarize them with each chair within their respective organization. Whenever possible members should shadow the chair they are elected into, a year or semester before they actually take the position.

7. Require inter-Greek community service and/or programming (Greek Games) with a higher mandatory participation by each organization. Instead of numbers, focus on percentages of individuals registered that semester. Ex. 50% of your chapter must participate, and tie it into recognition agreement, which would be a fairer measure of participation given the diversity of sizes of chapters at Berkeley.

8. Mentorship programs need to be developed in order to find the “best practices” that are used in organizations. Alumni, past Chapter Presidents and other e-board members who are willing to volunteer their time and get a chance to collectively inform the "future" generation of “How to develop Greek Leaders.” In order to grow in numbers, the culture needs to change from brothers and sisters in college, to brothers and sisters for life.

9. Greek 101: Changing the Image of Fraternity and Sorority Life. Have a Pre-Greek Orientation presented by the University for all the individuals who would like to possibly join and requiring all individuals to register before going through an induction phase. We will be able to collect data about the initial interest versus those who actually go Greek. It will also be valuable in showing the many faces of those interested in being Greek. This should be reviewed after the 4th year of implementation to see its effectiveness of how Fraternities and Sororities are viewed on campus.

10. Set policies regarding recruitment and academics to streamline the processes and ensure that those who go Greek achieve the success we associate with being Greek.

11. Create a joint Fraternity & Sorority programming board to combine the programming functions of the councils to provide comprehensive programming that meets the needs of all fraternity and sorority members.

12. Create an Intake/Recruitment/Rush task force that will examine practices and make recommendations to lead to greater numbers going through the process and ultimately joining a chapter.

Safety Recommendations - 10/25/09

1. Help students learn more about alcohol – on their terms. Encourage participation in alcohol education and awareness programs such as B.E.A.R.S. where students are actively involved in educating and mentoring each other. Consider making participating mandatory for new members, perhaps within first year of membership of a Greek organization. (Rationale: Unlike other programs where students attend lectures or attend virtual classes, B.E.A.R.S. offers a varied curriculum and encourages attendee participation. Students are helping present the program which in turn seems to make a strong impression on the students attending the course.)

2. Expand educational programs for new members that address common issues that will make members more successful, such as the New Member Camp. These programs should be designed by student leaders that will educate the newest members of the Fraternity & Sorority community on issues that tend to cause problems for freshmen in general and Greeks in particular. These could include issues such as alcohol abuse, hazing, sexual assault, diversity, etc. Ideally these programs would be presented by older fraternity and sorority members with the goal of reducing problems that prevent these younger members from being successful students at Berkeley and good fraternity and sorority members.

3. Revise GAMMA to more adequately address alcohol use and abuse in the Greek Community. This is a group that is national in nature and has support among alcohol professionals on the campus and across the country, and with proper student input, can be a group that can help address alcohol use and abuse.

4. Help students learn more about responsible party planning. CalGreeks and UCPD/BPD to provide uniform party planning and training materials to men’s and women’s groups. (Rationale: Currently, men’s housed groups receive one type of training as where women learn different event planning guidelines. While the City of Berkeley regulations will not always apply to every group’s event, there is value in every group on campus who may participate in large events -- particularly those where alcohol is served and underage drinking may take place – to understand the regulations and expectations.). Be good hosts by having plenty of non-salty food and other items that take the focus off of alcohol exclusively. For those events in houses where non-members and alcohol are present, should have security.

5. Be better neighbors. Encourage housed chapters to host informal events once per semester (perhaps groups of houses or block-by-block) to foster better relations with non-Greek neighbors and neighborhood associations. (Rationale: The live-in members within some Greek houses change every semester and it can be hard to ‘know’ one’s neighbors at any given time. Developing a sense of community around the Southside may foster improved neighbor relations, encourage neighbors to look out for one another, and promote faster responses in times of crisis. A neighborhood clean-up day or ice cream social, with local law enforcement invited, would be a low-stress event to lower the barriers or make these things less awkward.)

6. Provide more outlets for non-alcohol programming. Opportunities should be sought to provide alternative, creative ideas for chapters and the Fraternity & Sorority community to provide more alcohol-free programs. Collaborating with the programming office on campus and intramurals, as two examples, of programs that could provide great outlets for students.

7. Be prepared in case of emergency. Recommend that all housed chapters (and as much as possible, un-housed groups) participate in disaster drills. CalGreeks is already active in earthquake and disaster planning, yet students do not practice, nor do they consider planning, for an emergency. Point person for each house may be person in charge of house management, disaster planning or communications. Additional resources to be determined. 8. Have Houses be the safest residences for students. Provide annual training to House Corporations on disaster preparedness through the City of Berkeley. Post annual house inspections (fire, sanitation, etc.) on the http://greeks.berkeley.edu web site.

9. Recruit students using the highest of standards and without alcohol. All aspects of Recruitment need to be alcohol-free. IFC (especially) needs to develop a mechanism that makes this a reality; otherwise we make it appear as if joining our community is just about partying and not about values.

10. Use existing data on alcohol and substance abuse to gauge the effectiveness of programming. Annually the University collects a host of data on Berkeley students as part of existing surveys to gauge abuse levels and to compare them to peer schools across the country. Using this existing data for Greeks can gauge whether programming, policies, alternatives, etc. are making an impact in this area.

Support Committee Recommendations - 10/18/09

GOAL
"Supporting fraternities and sororities preserves these organizations for future generations of UC Berkeley CalGreeks"

OUTCOME

• Create a UC Berkeley Fraternity and Sorority Advisory Board to provide advice, guidance and development of the community. Members could include chapter advisors, house corporations, council officers, community members, parents, faculty and staff.
• Create a fund from a one-time fee from new members to be used to support the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.
• Each chapter should have an engaged set of volunteers that support, challenge, and mentor their chapter officers and members. These volunteers can be comprised of Berkeley alumni, alumni from other chapters, parents, and other volunteers, and would work closely with the chapter to develop their members. Ideally there would be one advisor for every 10 members.
• In order to support the engaged volunteers, annually Fraternity and Sorority Life should sponsor a Greek Volunteer Training Day in which workshops and roundtables are held on various topics that will appeal to all types of groups in the Berkeley Fraternity & Sorority Community and that will develop these volunteers and give them the tools in order to be successful.
• At the yearly Greek Volunteer Training different organizations will be teamed together (example - 1 NPC group, 2 IFC groups, 1-2 MC groups) that can share ideas, co-sponsor more workshops, and generally support each other throughout the year.
• A communications mechanism should be established that allows the engaged Greek Volunteers a forum to share tips, best practices, challenges, and resources. This could be accomplished through rotating coffee hours, a bi-semesterly dinner or regular workshops between the annual training day.
• Create a UC Berkeley Greek Alumni council comprised of all fraternities and sororities that will provide advice and guidance to the undergraduate governing councils.
• Open office hours in the Center for Student Leadership at which FSL staff, Cal Corps staff, a senate representative, community centers and other people/organizations serving students are all in one place for an hour every two weeks.
• FSL hosted micro sites including an email for each chapter.
• Ensure that the BFD, BPD and UCPD are all present at each semester's Risk Management/Event Planning workshop or roundtable.
• Create a relationship between our Greek leadership, House Boards, and our appointed Berkeley City Council member. Have the city council member that represents the neighborhood in which most of our Greeks live attend a yearly meeting of house board members, advisors, and student representatives in order to discuss and educate both sides about the neighborhood and the needs to its residents.
• In order to provide support to chapters, there should be at least one full time FSL staff person for every 15 Greek groups (or 500 students??).
• Establish a partnership between FSL and the Development Office which will include identifying a Development staff person to work with the Fraternity and Sorority alumni on communication and fundraising projects that will support the Fraternity and Sorority Community, including securing major gifts to create a Greek Endowment and to help host Greek reunions.
• Establish secured space on campus for un-housed Greek groups for storage of chapter items (i.e. composites, Ritual equipment, chapter files, etc.) as well as space to display awards.
• Compile materials and orchestrate an information session for Greek groups interested in forming parent clubs.

Leadership Recommendations - 10/18/09

“Fraternities and sororities are the greatest the leadership laboratories every created.”

1. Implement the comprehensive leadership continuum program for the CalGreeks Community that addresses membership at all levels: new members, emerging leaders, chapter presidents, key officers and the governing councils, in partnership with the Center for Student Leadership.
2. Host a new member retreat annually with over 25% participation and greater than 75% funding coming from charitable sources.
3. Send governing council officers to the Association of Fraternal Leadership and Values conference, at greater than 75% funding from charitable sources.
4. Send 20 Cal students per year to a well established leadership development programs, such as Leadershape or the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute, at greater than 75% funding from charitable sources.
5. Engage senior leaders by offering career development resources that are unique and specific to the CalGreeks community, including an All Greek Career Night held annually, the publication and update of CalGreeks career contacts directory, and the hosting of resume writing workshops, all funded through corporate sponsors.
6. Create a leadership development endowment, in partnership with the Development Office, of a minimum of one million dollars by 2020 that will yield annual income to fund leadership development for the Fraternity and Sorority Community, specifically; funding items 2, 3, and 4 above.
7. Encourage chapters to attend their inter/national leadership schools since they provide a wealth of knowledge and training.

Measures of Success Recommendations - 10/18/09

GOAL

"Our focus on leadership, scholarship, friendship, and service provides the framework by which we measure ourselves. By supporting chapters that are role models for our community and working with those that are still developing, we demonstrate our commitment to being an inclusive, responsible, and valued part of the campus and City community. These measures allow us to document our growth over time and allow us to gauge our shortcomings and our successes."

OUTCOME

• Create an annual “State of the Greek” report documenting the growth of our community in different areas and make it available to the public (faculty, staff, administrators, on-campus news outlets, students, parents, etc.). Such data to be easily calculated by chapters and consistent with the data needed by their headquarters for their national awards.
• Develop and publicize a Fraternity and Sorority Report to be used during intake/recruitment/rush to give potential new members more objective data on chapters.
• Conduct an annual satisfaction survey of individual members of the F&S community. Post data on the F&S Life webpage/CalGreeks webpage.
• Collect demographic data on who is joining the CalGreeks community on an opt-in basis through user updates to CalMuse.
• Develop a comprehensive assessment program that assesses the F & S Community as to their adherence to the core values and outcomes including an annual satisfaction survey of individual members of the F&S community, with the daata shared on the F&S Life webpage/CalGreeks webpage.

TIMELINE

• Spring 2010 – Develop parameters for demographic data collection (e.g. questions to ask, mechanism for collection, etc.) [F and S Life, Greek Councils]
• Fall 2010 – Begin demographic data collection, develop parameters for “State of the Greek” report data. [F and S Life, Greek Councils]
• Spring 2011 – Begin “State of the Greek” data collection, develop parameters for member satisfaction survey. [F and S Life, Greek Councils]
• Spring 2012 – Begin member satisfaction survey data collection, begin compiling “State of the Greek” report. [F and S Life, Greek Councils]
• Fall 2012 – First “State of the Greek” report released. [F and S Life]

Governance/Accountability Recommendations - 10/18/09

“Very little in the realm of leadership is more important than the trust that accountability generates… The smallest success or failure of accountability can create a ripple effect that goes far beyond the current issue or event… When everybody on your team knows that accountability matters no matter who the person, or what his or her position, you’ll have gone a long way in truly building accountability into your organization’s culture.”

--- Sheila Murray Bethel, “A New Breed of Leader”

· Create a representative group to annually refine and strengthen the basic eligibility criteria for recognition of Berkeley fraternities and sororities with the goal of having successful, nationally award winning chapters (i.e. engaged chapter advisors who reside within 30 miles of campus, attends chapter meetings at least monthly, and attends the regular Greek Volunteer training/support meetings; explores the timing of recruitment; determines the ideal chapter size; ensures member involvement in other students organizations; provides for live-in house directors; has engaged Housing Corporations that maintain high-quality, safe houses and are members of the Greek Homeowners Association, etc.). Furthermore, this agreement should make clear the responsibilities of fraternity and sorority chapters with observable/measurable/enforceable outcomes, as well as outline the benefits fraternities and sororities receive in turn from UC Berkeley (i.e. access to high quality professional advisory staff; leadership programs for all members; support and training opportunities for volunteer advisors; space for social opportunities; awards and recognition for achieving excellence; basic data sharing such as grade reports and rosters; etc.).

· Provide a comprehensive assessment program for the Fraternity and Sorority Community that provides timely, quality information to the leadership on how to best improve their chapters including annual 3^rd party observers and timelines and fines for non-compliance issues, provided in a cost effective manner.

· Provide for an accountability system that stakeholders (i.e. undergraduates, advisors and headquarters) understand, that is transparent to the community, and that provides consistent sanctions of chapter violations. Such a system needs to be supported by all stakeholders, including the University, by providing resources that will bring this about (the current system does not meet this criteria and needs to be remedied if this goal is to be achieved). Provisions should be made for more immediate responses to situations that need more immediate responses including suspensions.

· Provide for an annual student retreat of all chapter presidents and council officers that will provide student leaders with the tools needed to become awards winning chapters and councils.

· Housing corporations to create policies and programs that address issues such as fire safety, behavioral deposits for members, summer boarders, emergency preparedness, etc., with the help of UC Berkeley.

· Create and develop one All Greek Conduct Board that would be comprised of the Judicial Chair from each governing council and three members (from the pool of seven) from the governing council of the chapter alleged of the violation, with the Judicial Chair and the Judicial Officers serving a minimum of a one year term and comprised of one Judicial Chair from each governing council (1 IFC, 1 Panhellenic, 1 NPHC, and 1 MCGC member) and seven members (Judicial Officers) from the chapters that make up a governing council (7 members from IFC chapters – with each member from a different chapter, 7 members from Panhellenic – with no more than two members from the same chapter, 7 members from NPHC – with no more than three members from the same chapter, and 7 members from MCGC – with no more than two members from the same chapter)., that would hear alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct, the All Greek Social Code, and the Recognition Agreements by fraternities and sororities.

· Develop a comprehensive rewards program that recognizes chapters, individuals and advisors for achieving excellence. This awards program would utilize data submitted by the chapters for the recognition process in lieu of requesting chapters to submit additional documentation and would be consistent with information needed to win national awards. Rewards would be tangible and of the caliber that would warrant chapters spending time on (i.e. money card, monetary match for their successful philanthropy, etc.). The results of the rewards would be posted on the Greek web site.
