NPC resolution on fraternity recruitment

Did you know that the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) passed a resolution last year that sorority women must refrain from helping in men's fraternity recruitment? No acting as hostesses at fraternity rush parties or handing out name tags or beverages, and no wearing the letters of one fraternity. As an NPC sorority, Alpha Sigma Alpha is expected to follow this resolution. Learn more about the resolution and the reasoning behind it. Chapters should review this information before recruitment starts in the fall.

Emotionally intelligent arguing

When your opinions don't mesh well with those of the person sitting across from you, the mark you leave on the situation comes from how well you understand and manage your emotions (not from what you say to prove your point). When emotions are allowed to run haywire during a disagreement, things discombobulate very quickly and the discussion goes nowhere. Read this article on how to handle the situation with emotional intelligence.
