ZeteCon19 – Leadership Training Institute Sessions

One of the most important aspects of any Zeta Psi Convention is our three-day schedule of LTI sessions. This year’s sessions will place special emphasis on development; development of one’s chapter, development of one’s career, and development of one’s character. Alongside Zeta Psi’s own educational programming will be a number of guest speakers credentialed in various areas of expertise. This year’s slate of LTI sessions are:

• Leadership and Organizational Development (LOD) 102 – Membership Skill Identification & Development – Looking to turn the interests and skills of current members into results for the chapter? Membership Skill Identification & Development will teach you the best way to leverage your members’ current skillsets for both the internal and external development of your chapter.
• LOD 103 – Recruitment I: Basic Recruitment Strategy – Learn the basics of fraternity recruitment, from selling potential members on your chapter to recognizing the real interest level of potential members. Perfect for new members.
• LOD 206 – Greek Philanthropy
• LOD 209 – Changing Chapter Culture – At what point do chapter issues become indicative of an underlying cultural problem in the chapter? More importantly, how can we properly address toxic chapter culture in a productive manner? This session focuses on the various management techniques that we can utilize in order to help initiate positive changes in chapter culture.
• Networking and Career Development (NCD) 104 – Introduction to Social Media Networking – Social media websites can be an excellent tool to build your professional network and explore employment opportunities, but only if used properly. Introduction to Social Media Networking explains the current networking resources made available only to Zetes, and reveals the do’s and don’ts of social media networking.

• Risk Management and Law (RML) 103 – Developing Collaborative Risk Management Policy – While RML101 establishes Zeta Psi’s international risk management policy, Developing a Collaborative Risk Management Policy will assist chapters in creating their personal risk management policy.

• RML 206 – Social Event Planning for Greeks – This course outlines strategies to safely and effectively plan social events as a chapter. A great resource for executive boards before each semester!

• One Love: Because I Love You/Love Better – This special session lead by members of the One Love team shows how a short phrase like “because I love you” can be used as a form of manipulation. And that we’re actively taught so many things growing up, but we’re not taught the most fundamental skill of all, which is how to love.
• One Love: Escalation – This special session lead by members of the One Love team is a powerful, film-based workshop that opens people’s eyes to the warning signs of relationship abuse.
