Students who are interested in learning more information about NPHC are encouraged to attend annual Meet the Divine Nine program which showcases each of the nine affiliate member fraternities and sororities on campus. This year, the event is scheduled to occur on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 in Turlington L007.

Students in attendance will have the opportunity to learn more about the UF NPHC, speak with Council leadership and advisors, as well as meet members from each of the nine NPHC chapters on campus. This unique event allows for personal interaction, information sharing, and exposure to Greek Life for interested students.

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. Imagine how much more we could accomplish if they were part of the solution instead of part of the problem.

Well...drag them, push them, fine them, beg them, or dare them to attend this keynote presentation by David Stollman. David will say what you wish you could. Let him confront them in his funny, interactive, and moving style. His message will inspire those that want to care about the core values of greek life - scholarship, service, leadership, and community. He will challenge your members to embrace the best and get ride of the rest.

This program is sponsored by the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils. Buy in or Get out will take place at 7:00 PM in the J. Wayne Reitz Union and is required for IFC and Panhellenic chapter officers.

This half day event, sponsored by Center for Student Inolvement, will offer organizations training on various beneficial topics.
