Making Greek Great

There was a time when people were beating down the doors to be Greek. Fraternity and Sorority Life offered the ultimate campus experience. Gradually though, joining a fraternity or sorority became just another campus option. How can we make Greek life GREAT?

In this empowering keynote, Lori challenges Greeks to raise their own expectations of Fraternity and Sorority Life, to recruit the best students on campus and to become the role models of leadership they were intended to be. This is the perfect Greek Week, convocation or new member orientation keynote.

A Few Too Many… Our Campus Culture of Alcohol

Results of recent studies have found that high-risk drinking is among the most dramatic problems facing college campuses. Students spend more on alcohol than they do on books. Fraternity and sorority members drink more than their non-Greek peers. So, now, what do we do with this information? This workshop focuses on the culture of alcohol, providing activities that get students talking and feeling empowered to do something about high-risk drinking on their campus.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about the Opposite Sex

Why do men say they will call, and then don’t? Why do women go to the bathroom in pairs? Why do women talk nasty about other women, even their best friends?

This workshop is about gender communication, stereotypes and how we can overcome the challenges to healthy relationships. This is a laughter-filled workshop with serious messages about self-esteem.
