Kick-Off Event
What: This year we are kicking off National Hazing Prevention Week with a community-wide event! Facilitators will lead groups through meaningful and intentional discussions about how we can work together to create a community that promotes positive action and condemns negative behaviors. Those in attendance will also receive important information about the events in the week to come, such as the lunch and learn discussions and the Great Debate.
Who: We encourage everyone in the Rollins community to join the conversation!
When: Monday, September 24 @ 8:30pm
Where: CCC Skillman Dining Hall
The Great Debate: The Destruction of Community
What: The Great Debate is an opportunity for all members of the Fraternity and Sorority community to come together and learn about ways to improve our community through thoughtful discussion and enlightening presentations. Students will be challenged to identify and correct destructive behaviors in a hypothetical case study. By bringing awareness to these possible scenarios, members of the Fraternity and Sorority community can work together to establish positive behaviors that will prevent similar situations from happening on the Rollins campus.
A minimum of 5 members from each organization must be in attendance to represent their chapter. Those in attendance will be given 45 minutes to read the case study and prepare a 5-7 minute presentation followed by a 2 minutes Q&A. Each organization is required to select a minimum of 2 members to present its case to a panel of judges and the FSL community.
After each organization has defended its case, the judges will determine the winner of the Great Debate. The winner is selected based on a predetermined set of criteria.
When: Wednesday Sept. 26 6:00-8:00pm
Where: Dave's Down Under
