Phi Kappa Tau Regional Conferences assemble brothers from across their geographic region to learn side by side, share with each other, and connect in the name of brotherhood. Open to ALL members, regional conferences combine learning and the exchange of ideas and practices. It is a day of learning together, followed by an evening of fun and brotherhood.
What's great about Regional Conferences is that we hold SEVERAL of them in the first three months of the year...so we can get out to many different regions. This is the kind of event that you ROAD TRIP to with as many of your chapter brothers as possible!
...and by the way:
NO POWERPOINT!
That's right. It's about conversation-based learning by connecting chapters and brothers so you can share your challenges, ideas, and best practices across many different topics that are relevant for YOU! We pair alumni with brothers from chapters in the region for engaging and meaningful discussions on both leadership topics as well as operational chapter topics. And then...the "host chapter" invites all brothers who have travelled in for a FUN night of brotherhood!!! It's amazing!
Specific leadership skills we focus on at this Phi Kappa Tau National Conference are:
Conflict Management
Valuing Differences
Situational Adaptability
Accountability
...All leadership skills you can apply immediately and also well after graduation
Specific chapter operational topics vary and have covered areas such as:
Image & Reputation
Recruiting
Alumni Engagement
Brotherhood Engagement
Ritual
Member Wellness
Purpose & Identity
Responsible Socials
...All of them, topics that matter and that yo want to talk about among chapters
Chapter educational grant funds are typically available to cover ~50% of travel costs to the program (which end up being affordable anyway as guys travel in carloads together anyway) thanks to the support of generous alumni through the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation.
