Creating a safer fraternity and sorority experience is possible! As a student-athlete at Valparaiso and Rice, David Chadwick realized that his experience had very little to do with external factors – facilities, equipment, fans – and everything to do with intangible things – teammates and coaches, culture, and personal relationships. In an entrepreneurship class, he envisioned a digital solution to answer a challenge he faced: the need for a safe and confidential way to bring feedback to leaders in seats of power. That solution evolved into RealResponse, which now has 200+ clients, from colleges and universities to sanctioning bodies and integrity units, and a reach of more than two million people. Chadwick leads a team of world-class professionals, many of whom are former student-athletes themselves. In episode 592 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why David transferred from Rice University to Valparaiso, how an entrepreneurship class planted the seed for RealResponse, what he learned from conversations with over 200 athletics directors, why it's hard for students to give honest feedback to people in power, how RealResponse helps to create a safer fraternity and sorority experience, how you can create a healthy, accountable culture on your teams or chapters, new features that they are considering at RealResponse, and advice for other college students who want to start their own business. Enjoy!

Accountability in Fraternity and Sorority Chapters is a reality! Darrian Stringer serves as the Interfraternity Coordinator at Mississippi State University. He began this role in May of 2024 and has been a higher education professional for the last two years. Previously he worked as a chapter consultant for The Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity. Darrian oversaw 16 chapters in the Northwest and Great Plains, assisted 9 chapters in recruitment efforts, and finally established a provisional chapter at Pepperdine University. In 2023, he received his bachelor's degree in journalism with a focus in broadcast from the University of South Alabama. During his time as an Intern at WKRG Channel Five News in Mobile, Alabama, he learned all the necessary skills to excel as an anchor, reporter, MMJ, or sports reporter. His experience before becoming a chapter consultant taught him valuable skills such as how to interview someone efficiently, edit and produce using Adobe Premiere Pro, serve as on-air talent, and even write scripts for the afternoon sports segment. In episode 586 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Darrian chose the University of South Alabama for his undergraduate experience, what made him choose Pi Kappa Alpha over the other fraternities on campus, how to build a healthy and sustainable chapter culture, how to create a values-based experience while still having fun, how to build accountability in fraternity and sorority chapters, how fraternities and sororities can work more effectively with local reporters to boost their PR, how to manage chapter reputation during difficult situations, and advice on how to rebuild chapter culture after a rough year.

What We Forget When We Remember OurselvesEvery Fourth of July I get this itch — not to dunk on the country I love, but to scratch at the paint and see what's underneath. To lift the floorboards, find the roaches, and point out that this grand old house we celebrate didn't get built by one guy with a hammer.The American story is the greatest solo act ever told. Lone hero, lone cowboy, lone genius. We love it. We teach it in schools, we wrap it around our boots and our beers. Independence Day itself is practically a national tattoo that says: “We did it alone.”But the truth is that independence was born out of interdependence. You don't have to be a cynic to admit it — just an adult.Start with the Revolution. The French didn't show up with baguettes and hot air balloons; they showed up with a navy that made Yorktown possible. The decisive siege that ended the war? French ships blocked the British from getting supplies or reinforcements. Admiral de Grasse's fleet outnumbered the Royal Navy at the Chesapeake. Rochambeau's 5,000 troops fought alongside Washington's. And yet how many stars-and-stripes parties this week will have a single French flag? We remember the ragtag farmers; we forget the ships and the loans and the French sailors buried far from home.Move forward to WWII. Our national myth goes something like: we parachuted into Europe, kicked Hitler in the teeth, handed out chocolate bars, and went home heroes. Did we matter? Of course we did — but the Soviet Union lost upwards of 20 million people grinding the Nazi war machine to a pulp on the Eastern Front long before we waded onto the beaches at Normandy. Stalingrad alone saw two million casualties. Eighty percent of German military deaths happened over there, not over here. The Red Army did the bleeding; we did the liberating — and the remembering, mostly just of ourselves.And what about the ideas we cling to? Liberty, Equality, Fraternity — the French didn't just send ships, they sent the Enlightenment. Franklin didn't hole up in London when he wanted revolutionary inspiration; he lived in Paris. Jefferson, Adams, the whole founding crowd were drinking deep from Rousseau, Montesquieu, Voltaire. Our DNA is part Parisian salon, part colonial farm. But we tell the story like we invented the ideals out of thin New England air.This is not about tearing down the Fourth of July. I'll watch the fireworks too, maybe get misty when the rockets glare. But while we're celebrating our freedom, I'd like to remember who else paid the bill. Because the American experiment, the thing that survived King George, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, and whatever comes next — it never stands alone. It never did.Civil wars, revolutions, world wars — none of them happen in a vacuum. They're proxy fights, alliance fights, dirty trades of blood and treasure. America stuck its toe in Afghanistan to break the Soviets. France stuck its whole boot in our revolution to break the British. Someday, if we ever break ourselves in another civil mess, do you think the world won't come poking around? Mexico, China, Russia, Europe — everyone will have a stake.History is not a lone genius with a patent. It's a crowded lab. It's the professor taking credit for the breakthrough while the grad students wash the beakers. And if we keep forgetting the beaker-washers, the next time we need a partner, they might just stay home.So raise your flag. Cheer the myth. But spare a thought for the French sailor in the Chesapeake, the Soviet grunt at Stalingrad, the philosopher in a Paris café who gave our founders their slogans. A Declaration of Independence, sure — but one signed with borrowed ink.

The great Dan Paustian sits down with Randy. The fellas kick off with a bevy of drinks for an early Tuesday happy-hour. Dan talks about his recent trip to New York and how much better those comedy audiences are than in LA. Randy finds out Dan was once a finalist on MasterChef with Gordon Ramsey, despite not really knowing hot to cook. They touch on the significant shift to the far left by liberals and Democrats and their focus on the use of pronouns. The fellas shift gears and talk about their college days, being frat boys and getting into fights. Randy asks Dan about his journey into comedy and they share their mutual love of the art form.  The boys discuss some of their controversial jokes and how they either destroy on stage or bomb terribly. Dan shares some dating stories and how he's trying to get a co-worker to go on a date with him. They bring a rowdy boozy show to a close with the news - People of higher intelligence are 3 times as likely to be alcoholics, and  China passed a new law that eliminates the ability of wives to take their husbands property in a divorce.    Outro: “Funk Doctor” by Gee Dubs   Social Media: Instagram: @randyvalerio @readysetblowpodcxast Twitter: @randytvalerio @readysetblowpodcast TikTok: @randyvaleriocomedy @readysetblowpod YouTube:   @randyvaleriocomedy   @readysetblowpodcast     #comedypodcast #comedy #podcast #news #advice #standup #standupcomedy #comedian #jokes #politics #relationships #drink #drinks #booze #happyhour #newyork #nyc #losangeles #la #chef #masterchef #gordonramsay #hollywood #liberal #liberals #democrat #democrats #farleft #pronouns #college #fraternity #fratboy #jokes #dating #datingadvice #datingtips #iq #smart #alcoholicsanonymous #drunk #china #marriage #divorce  

How can you use the data you already have (but aren't looking at) to predict student success? How can you create incentives to drive the adoption of high-impact practices? How can you build caring, mentoring relationships that increase student success? We dive into these questions with Jeff Doyle, Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Southwestern University and prolific blogger/poster of "Deep Thoughts on Higher Ed."

Jason Rieger is the Co-Founder and CEO of Switch. Jason was the first employee for the largest group travel company for college students (JusCollege Acq. by Pollen for $25M).

Drew Hopson is a Nonprofit Executive, a Tech Sales Leader, a Community Advocate, and is Driving Impact at the Intersection of Innovation, Service, and Education. He is currently the Vice President of Business Development and Partnerships at Switch, a financial technology company that is working in the Fraternity and Sorority Life space. In episode 583 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what inspired the founders to build Switch (a financial technology company), what problem they were trying to solve for Fraternity and Sorority chapters, what features Switch offers that traditional payment tools like Venmo or spreadsheets simply don't provide, how Switch makes money, how Switch helps chapters who struggle with transparency and accountability in their finances, how Switch helps new treasurers transition smoothly when leadership changes, whether Switch integrates with any other systems or tools commonly used by campus organizations, what are some success stories they can share, and what is the long term vision for Switch.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Randal Pinkett. A multifaceted entrepreneur, author, speaker, and CEO of BCT Partners. Here's a breakdown of the key highlights and insights from the episode:

Dusty Harrison joined Alpha Tau Omega at the University of North Carolina, where his fraternity experience became a turning point in his life. Dusty spent his first years in college partying until he hit rock bottom and instead focused his energy on his faith. That journey led him not only to lead a Bible study within his chapter but ultimately into full-time ministry through Greek InterVarsity, where he has spent nearly 20 years mentoring fraternity and sorority members.Dusty has also spent 20 years as the Clemson chapter advisor.

This story explores themes of ambition, the consequences of innovation, and the supernatural. It begins with an introduction to supernatural stories, followed by a discussion on personal ambitions and the will to power. The narrative transitions into fraternity life, highlighting the aspirations of a chemistry student who believes he can create miracles. As he experiments, he inadvertently creates a dangerous solvent that leads to catastrophic consequences, sparking a blame game among those affected. TakeawaysThe hunger for power and acceptance drives human behavior.Ambition can lead to both personal fulfillment and catastrophic consequences.Fraternity life often reflects deeper personal aspirations and insecurities.Chemistry can be a metaphor for the potential of human innovation.Creating something new can have unforeseen and dangerous outcomes.The consequences of one's actions can lead to a blame game in society.Supernatural stories often reflect our fears and curiosities about the unknown.The concept of miracles can be both inspiring and terrifying.

It started with a modern plea for help: "Can I charge my dead phone in your bookstore?" I was in Del Mar, California, walking up the coast of the Pacific Ocean after birding all morning in ​Torrey Pines​. I was tracking my birds on ​eBird​—the ​Peregrine Falcons​, ​Anna's Hummingbirds​, and ​California Scrub-Jays​—and, of course, completely drained my phone's battery. When I get to Del Mar I spy this hobbit-hole looking bookstore called ​Camino Books: For The Road Ahead​ and when I walk in I am suddenly thrust into a gorgeous Biblio Paradise. Camino Books is one of the most spectacular bookstores I've ever seen! I fall into the handwritten Staff Picks walls, nookish children's section, incredible curation, giant hand-drawn posters from Dave Eggers, and the Wonka-like atmosphere that creates a true feast for the eyes and mind! But yeah ... my phone's dead. So I walk to the back counter and ask the gentleman unpacking boxes if I could plug it in back there. When I tell him I'm Canadian he gives me a quirky grin and says, "How many tariffs should I put on your free charge?" We laugh and start talking about the political scene. John has the aura of ​George Saunders​—a certain "warm gnarliness"—and he tells me, "We have no left wing in this country. We're like an eagle slowly swirling to the ground with just one right wing." And I could immediately tell this poetic bookselling Jedi master needed to be recorded... What emerges are the poetic distillations of 67-year-old John the Bookseller, along with his wife Alison who cameos at the end. They have been booksellers since 1981 ... a combined 88 years! No wonder the store's so great. They began in Berkeley and then opened up an independent bookstore chain called Diesel Books, up and down the California coast, and now have sold the store to open up a little new shop on the coast called Camino Books: For the Road Ahead. Don't we all need a good book for the road ahead? Let's talk about how to open a bookstore, California independence, fighting fascism, George Orwell, the 51st state, customers vs. readers, Susan Cain, the Spanish Civil War, how to 'stay awake,' and, of course, John and Alison's 3 most formative books. This is the kind of mind-opening conversation that great bookstores create. Let's head down to Del Mar, California as we flip the page to Chapter 149 now...

So you think you want to join a sorority? This month, we're exploring all the Greek life topics that may have you on the fence about registering for recruitment this fall. This week we're diving into the stereotypes surrounding Greek life, and helping you understand what a sorority is and what it's not. Today we talk myth vs. fact with Alyssa Ciango, the Associate Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at Miami University of Ohio. Alyssa shares her wealth of knowledge on the recruitment experience, the myths she's seen, and how to approach the sorority experience well before the first day of recruitment. Alyssa also has advice for current members and chapter leaders to know as we head into the season of recruitment.Whether you're on the fence about registering for recruitment, or even a current chapter leader looking to redefine what the sorority experience looks like for PNMs, today's episode is for you.

This week, we're diving into the dark and deadly world of fraternity and sorority hazing, where the line between tradition and tragedy is disturbingly thin. We unpack recent cases that ended in heartbreak and criminal charges, shining a light on the culture that still lets this happen. Then we lighten things up (barely) with a trip to The Valley, where the drama is messy, the Botox is fresh, and no one knows what the hell they're doing—just how we like it. Grab a drink—this one's a rollercoaster.

Michael Dixon received a bachelor's degree in multidisciplinary studies from North Carolina State University and a master's degree in college student affairs leadership from Grand Valley State University. Michael is a Doctoral candidate at Indiana State University. Michael is a former higher education administrator with more than 18 years in the industry. He has several research interests and his brief study in philosophy causes him to ask lots of questions. In his free time, you can catch Michael playing a round of disc golf or competing in sports and/or board games. In episode 570 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Michael chose NC State for his undergraduate experience, what made him choose to join the Grad Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., why he enjoys working in DEI spaces, why that DEI work is so critical, how to take our unique members and turn that into recruiting power, what we should do if we struggle with our self-confidence when talking to new members, how we can break down bias in the Fraternity and Sorority recruitment, one part of the recruitment experience that we should reevaluate, practical ways we can improve the new member experience, and how recruitment can impact our chapter culture. Enjoy!

Larry Krasner was a special guest at a Fraternity meeting of the Philly Nu Sigma of Phi Beta Sigma. We happened to be at the meeting and provided this report for the The Neoliberal News media - The Neoliberal Post, The Neoliberal Journals and The Neoliberal Round. Larry discuss how his work has saved tax payers billions of dollars with the reduction of mass incarceration's thanks to the sentencing and supervision program. However Krasner stated that Supervision only works temporarily as the experience is that after three years they go back to jail. Krasner reports how he has also reduced that. Larry announces that this day in May we have fewer homicide today on this 14th day of the year than any other year in Philadelphia. 1. Lots of money into preventing crime and into solving crime, doing it at the same time - creates better results and it costs the country and the city less incarceration is an expensive activity and thanks to the work of the mayor and the security forces. 2. What about Bail Reform? Larry does not support zero base Bail reform. H explains why.Available in The Neoliberal Post: Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner recently addressed members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. at a dynamic community Q&A, answering the piercing question, “What have we done right?” His answer, armed with raw statistics and biting clarity, laid bare both the progress and persistent paradoxes of Philadelphia's criminal justice system.Krasner, a former civil rights attorney turned reformist DA, didn't mince words. “We've cut state custody numbers from 13,000 to 9,000,” he said. “County jail is down to 3,600, when it used to flirt with 10,000.” Juvenile confinement? Down 70%.What does this mean in human terms?Read More Here:https://theneoliberal.com/reimagining-justice-larry-krasner-on-ending-mass-incarceration-and-investing-in-communities/The Neoliberal Round by Renaldo McKenzie is a member of the National Association of Black Journalists and a Production of The Neoliberal Corporation.https://anchor.fm/theneoliberalVisit us: https://theneoliberal.comDonate to us: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=USSJLFU2HRVAQVisit us: https://theneoliberal.comThe Neoliberal Corporation is a Think Tank, Publishing, Digital News Media, IT, Research and Education company.

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lancemore Centre in Toronto on May 11, 2025. We all must grow in fraternity. If the centres is like a garden, all the flowers need light, all need water. There is always somebody caring for the cleanliness, showing interest in people coming. Let us examine how we cultivate this special atmosphere around us.Music: Regi Stone, All Heavens Declares.

HazingInfo.org is a partnership between StopHazing, the University of Maine, and the University of Washington Information School, along with founders Jolayne Houtz and Hector Martinez, who lost their son, Sam, to hazing in 2019. Sam Martinez was a 19-year-old business student at Washington State University in 2019 when he was hazed to death just weeks into his freshman year. Sam was funny and spontaneous, a loyal friend, a gifted athlete, a youth coach and a loving son and brother. Jolayne and Hector launched HazingInfo.org in partnership with students from the University of Washington Information School to ensure incoming college students and their families have current, accurate information about student organizations so they can make informed decisions about whether to join. Jolayne and Hector are actively working to change policies at the state and national levels to expand education and training about hazing prevention and to increase transparency about and accountability for hazing incidents. In episode 566 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out more about Sam Martinez, what concerns Jolayne had when Sam said he wanted to join a Fraternity, what information Jolayne was able to find about the fraternities on campus through her own research, what happened to Sam on the day he died in 2019, what Jolayne was able to determine from her investigation into hazing reporting, how she felt when the Stop Campus Hazing Act passed into federal law, what are the warning signs of hazing, how we can encourage more college campuses to be transparent about hazing on their campus, how we can get students to come forward and report hazing, how students can honor Sam's memory, and what gives Jolayne hope for the future.
