This past Saturday we held a retreat for our Greek organizations. Each semester we make sure we cover the basics, but this year we wanted to have further conversation about the direction of the groups. The first part had the students talk about why they joined their groups, and then to look at the values of their organizations.

We then looked at the Dateline NBC special done after the death of Michael Davis in 1994. The students then discussed the disconnect between the espoused values of Greek Life, and their reality. We ended with a values continuum, where students physically stood along a line based on their level of support for a statement (i.e. it is harder to be a member than a pledge/aspirant).

So we spent 3 hours together and had some good conversation. Hopefully it will promote better action as well.
