New initiates of fraternities and sororities attend the New Initiate Values Institute (NIVI), held each semester, where the four core pillars of fraternity/sorority life (friendship, scholarship, leadership, service) are discussed, in addition to the concepts of values-based decision making and community building. The program is coordinated by the Program Coordinator for the Center for Fraternity/Sorority Life and facilitated by junior and senior-level fraternity/sorority leaders.
Learning outcomes for the institute are:
- Participants will explore the concept of fraternal values and how it relates to them as individuals, as individual organizations, and as a community.
- Participants will discuss the power of a single organization versus the power of a community.
- Participants will explore the four core principles of fraternity/sorority life and how the community upholds these principles.
- Participants will be empowered to identify issues of concern to them and to begin to develop solutions.
- Participants will leave the Values Institute empowered to become proactive and involved in fraternity/sorority life.
