Providing diversity training for various groups on campus is important, but it doesn’t go far enough. Race relations in America and on some of your campuses is a systemic problem that requires constant attention throughout the year.

Perfect for Greek Week, ‘greek-ish™' is a thought-provoking and transformational training experience that challenges the way FSL communities think, gets them excited about exploring different perspectives, and sets the tone for your chapters’ interactive & virtual programming.

Are We WOKE Yet?
I know, nobody says "woke" anymore. It's so 2018. Well, before "woke", we said, "conscious." Either way, the message is the same. "Woke" engages in a comparative analysis of two groundbreaking films about the cut and thrust of the NPHC membership intake process.
​
Whether you have seen these films or not; affiliated or not, you will be enlightened. Violence? Brutality? Nimbleness of mind? Sexual initiation rites? Cultural integrity? Physical endurance? Death...just to join a frat? Oh, it's still relevant. Let's talk about it.

INVISIBLE BRUISES:
You Don't Have to Hit Me to
Call Me Brother
“Invisible Bruises” is a real, multi-prong, interactive approach to hazing education like it’s never been done before! Here, Tish facilitates fruitful and candid conversation on how organizations across campus, not just fraternity and sorority programs, can use their creativity in finding productive alternatives to this risky behavior. Helping students understand themselves first, their proclivity to either lead or follow others, and creating a fulfilling Greek-life experience is the main objective Tish aims to address.
​
Your chapter wants to leave a positive legacy on campus as well as increasing awareness about the risks of hazing. Your chapter wants to lead the charge in anti-hazing initiatives on your campus, so this presentation is for your campus! This keynote inspires FSL communities engage in deeper conversations and actionable steps about cultivating and restructuring chapters that realize their full potential as altruistic and transformative organizations.
