Academic Success Workshops

Academic Success workshops are coordinated in conjunction with the Faculty Fellow Program. They occur once a month and are related to general study skills, test taking skills and to serve the academic needs of students within the fraternity & sorority life community.

Academic Success - Faculty Fellow Program

The ultimate goal of the Faculty Fellow program is to support the academic needs of the student members of the 麻豆女郎 fraternity & sorority community. The Faculty Fellow is asked to assist us in the following manner:

Develop and implement Student Academic Success Sessions:

These monthly 90-minute sessions (3 each semester) focus on academic skill development for student members of the F/S community. Students will come together in this comfortable environment to learn how to help enhance their academic success through various facilitated discussion/presentations on various topics.

Serve on the Standards of Excellence Awards/Assessment Review Committee:

Standards of Excellence is the annual awards and assessment process for chapters within the 麻豆女郎 F/S community. Each chapter submits a packet of information detailing their work in eight core areas, one of which is Intellectual Growth & Genuine Learning. The Faculty Fellow will review these information packets to score chapters and provide scholarly feedback on how to enhance their organization efforts in this area. Discovering learning styles, thinking critically, reading to learn from textbooks, best practices in studying, compression, and memory, test & exam preparation, writing & speaking effectively, and developing research and information literacy skills.

Academic Success/Program Advisement

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life is committed to the academic mission of the institution and we will continue to offer innovative programs and services that support the academic needs of our students. The Faculty Fellow will be asked to provide feedback on creating new and enhancing existing academic initiatives within the f/s community.

Hazing Prevention 101

In efforts to better educate our community and potential new members regarding hazing, Florida Atlantic along with the other State University System schools adopted an online hazing prevention program. Hazing Prevention 101 is a 60-minute online program that will help you recognize, prevent and report hazing. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life is requiring all members in the community to complete the program. The program only has to be taken once during a student's 麻豆女郎 undergraduate career. Upon completion of the program, a certificate is provided that should be retained and kept on file with the chapter. The office will not require copies of these certificates as we will automatically receive confirmation of completion of the program.

Starting in Fall 2015, all potential new members will be required to pass the program prior to seeking entrance into any chapter. The office will have the ability to verify if a potential new member has completed and passed the course or not. If you have any questions regarding the program or having issues signing in to take the program, please email the office at fslife@fau.edu and they will be able to assist you. We thank you all for helping keep 麻豆女郎 a safe environment for all our current members and future members. Always remember 鈥淩eal Owls Don鈥檛 Haze!鈥�

Greek Week

Greek Week is one of Fraternity & Sorority Life's Signature Programs where all fraternal organizations come together as one to uphold and advance the core values of fraternity & sorority life. The Greek Week Planning Committee, under the advisement of the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life, is committed to organizing successful events that foster awareness of the fundamental importance of the core principles that unite fraternities and sororities at 麻豆女郎.

Each spring semester the fraternities and sororities pair up and participate in a week long set of activities including sports competitions, service, philanthropic activities, educational programs, and dance performances to help foster and develop fraternal bonds and lifelong friendships.

Learn 2 Lead Institute

Learn 2 Lead is a one-day program designed for anyone who is interested in starting something extraordinary. It is geared toward emerging leaders in the F/S community. The first Learn 2 Lead institute held in Fall 2012 was adapted from the LeaderShape Catalyst program.

Participating in Learn 2 Lead is a first step in the life-long process of learning, exploration, and action.

The program is designed to allow participants the time and space to consider powerful questions that move them toward action. Compelling questions like: Am I on the right path? Who do I want to be? How can I connect with other like-minded individuals? This day may not provide participants the answers to these questions but rather create a community in which participants can engage in meaningful conversations with each. Throughout the day, participants will be identifying their strengths as well as the strengths of the members of their community. They will discuss how these contributions can move them into action. Since this an all f/s audience, the 麻豆女郎 Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life will be leading a conversation on using fraternal values as the foundation of action.

Here are additional details on the experience:

• Registration must be done on-line, in advance of the program and in collaboration with your chapter since they will only have X amount of spots for this program.
• Participants are expected to stay for the duration of the entire program (i.e. you cannot come and go, as you please).
• There is no cost for chapters or participants.
• All participants will be expected to adhere to a substance free commitment.
