What Does Hazing Prevention Look Like in a Pandemic? Featured
In today’s webinar, we have three incredible panelists for you that are all firmly committed to hazing prevention, so I’m very curious to hear their thoughts on whether their work on hazing prevention changes at all given this new online class format that we find ourselves in for college campuses. Our expert panelists: Lawrence Ross, Dr. Elizabeth Allan, and Dr. Jason L. Meriwether. They have all contributed towards the recent book published by NASPA called Dismantling Hazing in Greek-Letter Organizations. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSz0yWZPjJg

Delaney Bosworth: How can we make Greek Life more accessible for those with physical disabilities? Featured
Welcome to episode #75 of Fraternity Foodie! Today we interview Delaney Bosworth, an undergraduate member of Alpha Xi Delta at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. Delaney tells us about what happened to her at age 11 that caused her to be paralyzed, how everyone has their “wheelchair” – or that thing that holds them back and makes us believe we are not good enough, why Millersville University works so well for students with disabilities, what attracted her to Alpha Xi Delta over other organizations, how we can address the systems in Greek Life that sometimes prevents those with disabilities from participating, why she is so resilient, and what she learned about herself through this process. You will be so inspired by listening to Delaney’s story. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0k6IuZBLc0
