Alumni Presenters
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
David Stollman is one of the top speakers within the Greek speaking circuit. His presentation titled “Buy In or Get Out” will certainly be one of the high points of event. Too often, good leaders and good chapters are not able to succeed because they are too busy cleaning up after the ones that don’t get it. Fixing their problems or fighting their negative image? Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem. David will say what you wish you could. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of fraternity life—friendship, service, leadership and scholarship. He will challenge you to embrace the best and get rid of the rest. It will touch on topics that range across all major issues facing today’s members.
