Powerhouse Chapters –Quantity AND Quality
 
Once you have settled into a stable system of budgeting, recruitment, and chapter operations, do you ever look up at the bigger, dominant fraternities wondering how you could get to their level?  Are you looking to vault your chapter into the highest social circle on campus?  Do you struggle with your members who stand in the way of progress?  “Powerhouse Chapters” takes you through several steps that a chapter can take to dominate their campus on every field.   Part of being the best is knowing how to get past the mentality that somehow quality and quantity are competing aspects of recruitment and chapter structure.  This program will explain the tips, tricks, and overall battle plan that a chapter must take to be No. 1 on campus, and more importantly, how to stay there!

What they don’t teach you in College – Business Etiquette Tips for the Real World

This program is an interactive video romp through the do’s and don’ts of etiquette. Importantly, this is not about whether to hold your pinkie out when sipping high tea, but rather a look at business issues – how to act, dress, and excel in your cubicle, at a meeting, and on a business meal. Participants will see a hilarious video chock-full of real life business etiquette blunders – all from new hires straight out of college. Participants are asked to identify the mistakes the “hero” makes and learn first-hand, from a former Human Resource VP, the tricks of the trade to succeed in the business world. There are always laughs galore and lots of learning in “What They Don’t Teach You in College.”

But Bro…We’re Brothers, It’s Cool.  Right?
 
Tau Kappa Epsilon aims to build Better Men for a Better World.  Are you supporting this within your local chapter?  As Fraters, we are charged with holding ourselves to a higher standard…so why is it that we struggle with holding each other to the oath we took at initiation?  It isn’t an easy task; but through this workshop we will discuss barriers to bystander behavior, how to make accountability relevant in your chapter, and the support YOU have throughout the TKE Nation.

Where are the Jobs? Finding Work in Today’s Economy
 
It is estimated that less than 8% of jobs are found over the Internet while 64% are found through networking. Yet where do people spend the bulk of their job search? Online!

From who to target and how to approach them, to strategies for informational interviewing and following up, participants leave this presentation with an incredibly specific plan of attack on networking. This engaging presentation is based on real-world job search strategies and gives advice straight from the recruiting department. “Where are the Jobs?” is perfect for people going into any field.
