Why am I here?I came into the position of President with:O In-effective managementO Low fundsO Low number of brothersO Behavior issues almost revoking our
chapterO Lack of participationO Less than 30,000 ACR pointsO Low moral
IntroductionO What is conflict?
O “To come into collision or disagreement”
O Why do we have conflict?O It’s necessary; By-product of
diversity!O How do we use it?
Where Your Chapter’s Conflict Is
O Efficiency O General & Executive Board Meetings,
voting
O PersonalO Between two people or groups of
people
Efficiency: General Meeting
O Take RoleO automated
O President/VP speakO Short and sweet
O Committee ReportsO Time Limit
O Old BusinessO Should be rare
O New BusinessO My “Trick;” Power to the Parliamentarian
O Announcements O Always end on a positive note!
TricksO Utilize Surveys: Pass surveys around or
place them at the front table of the meeting.
O Parliamentarian: Should run the meeting during old and new business
O Tabling a Motion: Don’t do it unless absolutely necessary.
O Have a “Pusher”: Someone who makes motions to vote and move on
O Google Calendar: Set it up and update it so every brother can access when events are 24/7
Efficiency: E-Board
It Starts with you!O My perspective
“E-Board = Brains, Brotherhood = Raw power”
O Should include the following:O Understanding of issues with committees O Committee Collaboration O PlanningO Understanding of the next general
meeting!O Where the details are mapped out
VotingParliamentarian is President!O Wasted Time
O Don’t be repetitive O Pros & Cons
O 3 pros or cons, automatically moves to vote
O Make sure pros are value oriented (lawyer mentality)
O Open ForumO For potential rushees who the
chapter is divided on
PersonalO Between two peopleO Between groupsO Executive Position vs. Active Brother
O “Praise in Public, Criticize in Private”
My ExamplesO Bad rep with directors O Growth: Founding Fathers vs. New
