Four Year Membership Development Program Leo Glass neb03 National Service Group “NSG”

1. Triangle Fraternity Lifelong Commitment Four Year Membership Development Program Leo Glass neb03 National Service Group “NSG” Kamil F Karmali marq04

2. Lifelong Membership • What does it mean to be a LLM of Triangle Fraternity? • How is a LLM created? • How is the creation of LLMs related to the Triangle undergraduate experience? • How would having more LLMs enhance Triangle Fraternity?

3. Our Perspective • Undergraduate Development: Improving the Triangle “Product.” Recognizing our role as a service provider from the bid card to graduation day • Alumni Engagement: Dedication of Time and Knowledge

4. The Triangle “Product” Undergraduate Development

5. The Triangle “Product” Undergraduate Development

6. Current Challenges Undergraduate Development • New member education lacks comprehensiveness, long term engagement. Primary focus on history/fraternity information. • Difficult to readily identify benefits of “Triangle Product” without having learning outcomes on a four year scale • Tough to align multiple member education programs with National purpose, CoE, Ritual, mission

7. Our Solution Undergraduate Development • Focus Shift: From new member education – to 4/5 year member education • Comprehensive Training on a local level: Leadership skills, Financial Management, Academic Scheduling, Life Skills Development, Professional Development, Communication Skills, Conflict Resolution, Health/Wellness education, Risk Management/Alcohol Awareness, etc. • A Unified Approach: One program, “one result.” All align with mission and purpose of Triangle Fraternity

8. The 4 Year MDP Core Vision In the future (2 – 5 years), Triangle Fraternity will be able to quantifiably measure its ability to produce leaders, scholars, professionals and gentlemen. Because the 4 year program is developed with the end in mind, Triangle will produce graduates who have achieved success and are ready for a professional environment (Metrics). These graduates are aware not only of their lifelong commitment to Triangle, but to the principles and values of the Fraternity (Metrics). Through evaluating the year to year learning objectives of the 4 Year MDP, Triangle will be able to quantifiably measure its product, and adjust it to be the best professionally based social fraternity. As more and more pilot chapters adopt the program, Triangle will become a more ‘congruent’ and cohesive National Fraternity.
