“Making the Most of Your College Experience”
The decision to attend a college or university is often very exciting, stressful, uncertain, and time consuming. Mari Ann presents a program that designed for summer orientation programs, first year or freshman year experience programs and classes, and for professionals who work with the first year students.

“Panhellenic Says: Promoting Unity, Spirit and Understanding”
Mari Ann presents New Member Education from a commitment, ritual-based, lifetime commitment perspective. Through a fun, interactive program, she helps the new members learn that their goal is not to be a good new member, but to be a good lifetime member.

“How Does Hazing Happen in My Chapter?”
Hazing continues to be a major concern in many of our chapters and on many of our campuses. This program offers methods for taking the focus away from hazing and placing it on positive events and the brotherhood and sisterhood which make Greek life so meaningful.

“Recruitment Counselors: Keys to a Successful Recruitment”
This program includes team building ideas and suggestions for increasing recruitment numbers by utilizing Recruitment Counselors. Mari Ann's program is designed for potential Recruitment Counselors or for an existing group, helping to get your team moving in a positive direction from day one. Mari Ann can also adapt this program to fit your specific campus goals, traditions, and priorities.
