The Update | March 19, 2019
Industry Update Provided by NPC
Dani Weatherford, National Panhellenic Conference CEO, was quoted in a Centre Daily Times article regarding anti-hazing legislation re-introduced at in the U.S. Senate last week. The REACH Act has its roots in deceased Penn State pledge Timothy Piazza. Weatherford offered support for the legislation, saying in a statement, “We know that students and parents have long had access to timely information about campus security, and we believe they deserve the same transparency about incidents of hazing as well. Legislation alone won’t end hazing on campus, but legislation like this can help students, administrators and parents have access to the information that lets them hold organizations and campuses accountable.”
CBS News, USA Today, NBC News, and other local outlets released Noah Domingo’s cause of death was accidental alcohol poisoning, which was determined by the Orange County coroner’s office this week. Noah Domingo was an 18-year-old freshman at the University of California Irvine who died Jan. 12. He was found unresponsive in his own bed after an off-campus fraternity party. The investigation is ongoing, with criminal charges still possible.

CEO Leadership Academy
Theta hosted a leadership academy for chapter CEOs March 1-3 in Indianapolis. The curriculum was based on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership: A Guide for Students, which describe three facets of emotionally intelligent leadership: consciousness of self, consciousness of others, and consciousness of context. Our focus was on concepts that fit into the first two facets: covering Clifton StrengthsFinder, active listening, empathy, conflict management, and inclusive leadership.
