About AFAThe Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors (AFA) provides exceptional experiences, a vibrant community, and essential resources for the success of fraternity/sorority advisors. AFA is committed to professional development, academic and applied research that examines the entire spectrum of the fraternity/sorority experience and the advising profession, and collaborations within and between the higher education and interfraternal communities.

AFA believes:• Fraternities and sororities can have a positive, correlative impact and effect on the personal, moral, and social

development of members.• Fraternities and sororities (when well organized, managed, advised, and led) are uniquely positioned to provide

access to academic and social developmental opportunities compared with more narrowly focused student affairs offerings.

• Fraternity/sorority communities are typically under-served by college administrators (compared to more conventional programs).

AFA aspires to be the most valued catalytic force in aligning the fraternity/sorority experience with the changing dynamics and enduring principles of higher education. This report captures the fiscal year running September 1, 2018 - August 31, 2019.

Educational ProgramsAFA is committed to the professional development of our members and interfraternal communities. Educational programs are the hallmark of providing this development, and many of these programs would not be successful without the support of our partners and donors. We are very grateful for these organizations and individuals, and we have noted them below.

ANNUAL MEETING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AFA offered 123 educational programs in seven educational blocks and six umbrella organization updates/open forums at the 2018 Annual Meeting. In addition:

• 35 professionals attended the Seasoned Professionals’ Seminar presented by Amber Garrison Duncan, Ph.D.

• 40 professional attended the Mid-Career Professionals’ Seminar presented by Libby Anderson, Cassie Gerhardt, and Tanner Marcantel which was made possible by the Shade Day of Giving Challenge

• 45 professionals attended the New Professionals’ Seminar presented by Krystal Clark

• 34 graduate students participated in Graduate Training Track endowed by Michelle Guobadia

• 40 graduates participated in the Order of Omega Case Study Competition

• Eight presenters shared their stories at Ignite Fraternity

CONNECTING AT REGIONAL CONFERENCES AFA sponsored the Professionals’ Institute at AFLV Central, AFLV West, and NGLA. At SEIFC, the association sponsored the Professionals’ Luncheon, and at CCWL AFA sponsored the Professionals’ Welcome Reception. These opportunities allowed association staff members to connect and provide developmental opportunities with members at each of the regional student programs.

CORE COMPETENCIES ROLL-OUT AFA launched the new Core Competencies in 2018, and the Professional Development Committee created a self-assessment for members to utilize when action planning for their professional development. In the fall of 2018, there were 494 responses to the self-assessment. When the Professional Development Committee reviewed the data, the core competency of Student Safety was decided as an educational propriety to move members from Unknown to Practice & Proficiency, leading to opportunities for enhanced educational offerings based on membership needs in this area.

GRADUATE TRAINING TRACK In 2018-2019, Michelle Guobadia, UNC Charlotte, provided generous support to allow for the new Graduate Training Track (GTT) curriculum and the opportunity to create continued graduate student programming. GTT aides in the personal and professional development of graduate students as they complete their graduate school journey and prepare for their future in the profession. The new curriculum for the 2018 Annual Meeting GTT was developed and facilitated by Laurel Price. In addition to the Annual Meeting, three webinars were hosting in spring 2019 on the topics of managing relationships with administration, job search, and navigating transition.

FIRST 90 DAYSThanks to the continued support of Sigma Chi Fraternity, the First 90 Days program, with curriculum designed by RISE Partnerships, LLC, reached 65 new professionals during fall 2018. This cohort-based program, specifically designed for campus-based professionals as they begin their careers as fraternity/sorority advisors, launched in September 2018 and ran until December 2018. The program was facilitated by Byron Hughes, Ph.D., Virginia Tech, and Leslie Schacht Drey, Oregon State University.

INSTITUTIONAL SURVEYIn the spring of 2019, AFA conducted a comprehensive institutional survey. There were 468 invitations distributed, and the survey had 269 completed submissions with a 59% response rate. 170 (63%) of the schools that responded were public institutions. A full report was compiled and shared with membership. Additional data was narrowed down into specific subsets, such as the type of institution and size of the fraternity/sorority community, and was shared with the survey participants who fit in those subsets.

SUMMER DRIVE-INS Our drive-ins spanned coast-to-coast with six regional/state drive-ins hosted by AFA volunteers, with a reach of just under 200 attendees. Our average program attendance was 25 people. New this year, the AFA Foundation provided financial support for keynote and featured programs at the Region III Drive-In, the Fraternity & Sorority Life Summit of the Carolinas, and the Lone Star Drive-In.

ORACLE WRITER’S RETREATWilliam & Mary hosted the Oracle Writer’s Retreat for the second year. Eight scholars had the opportunity to discuss their work, utilize library resources, and dedicate time to reflect and write. We look forward to continuing this program to support research in the profession.

Educational ProgramsAdvanceU is a virtual based classroom with programs designed to enhance the alignment of the fraternity/sorority experience with the changing dynamics of higher education. The goal is to provide programs each month that range from new skill development to application of new concepts, through the exploration of a wide variety of topics in higher education and work with fraternities and sororities. AFA members are able to think differently and work differently by learning about new ideas and topics through Advance U. Thanks to the generous support of Zeta Tau Alpha, AdvanceU is free to all members of AFA.

This year, over 800 professionals participated in real-time learning. All programs are available on demand via the AdvanceU page on the AFA website.
