Pre-Program Checklist

Congratulations on your decision to bring Phired Up training your audience.  This page provides information and a checklist to help you prepare for the program's success.  If you have any questions along the way, contact Phired Up's staff and we'll help answer anything.

Our Training Days typically can range from a keynote presentation to hours of small group consultations (and everything in between). We are not just “speakers,” (though we’re pretty darn good at that), we are problem solvers. We want to help you GROW.  

Our goal for our partners is to help them adopt a full growth system, including all 7 Indicators of a High Performing Growth System (watch this video). Most of our training content focuses on one of (or a combination of) organizational growth, recruitment, marketing, Social Excellence, retention, or new member on-boarding. Think of it this way… we’re the industry experts on all things related to the “Pre-Member Experience” (or everything from the first-impression someone gets of fraternity/sorority all the way through their moment of official initiation). But we’re different than a traditional “speaker” that just provides a couple of topic options that they can deliver.  Our core messages don’t restrict us – they give us freedom to create programming that will best suit your needs.  When you book Phired Up trainers for a programming day on your campus, we start with a conversation with you about how we can combine our messages to best meet your needs.  

We can work with any audience size and type from 20 leaders to 5000+… current members, council leaders, new members, potential new members, alumni, administrators– we’ve done it all.  We can work within any schedule too.  Need a 60-minute keynote for Greek Week?  We can do that.   Need a 5-hour workshop for a recruitment retreat?  Yep, we can do that too.  The curriculum we create for whatever and whomever you need is always 100% customized to suit your needs, desired outcomes, schedule, and population.  The possibilities are limitless.

You'll talk with the Phired Up trainer(s) who are matched with your programming needs about a week or two before the date of delivery. If you need to talk sooner, just let us know.

Here are some questions for you to consider to prepare for your training program:

  • What are the key learning objectives you hope to achieve?
  • What is the ideal amount of time for Phired Up trainers to work with your audience?
  • How can Phired Up make the greatest amount of lasting impact while we're working with your students?

Here are some reminders about our training services:

  • When we teach RECRUITMENT/GROWTH we teach IFC fraternities, Panhellenic sororities, and culturally-based groups differently (because of their unique processes). This means that you may need multiple Phired Up specialists for your community. We have several messages and models for training days that can be applied by any audience as well. Just ask!
  • Phired Up works with all fraternities and sororities, including culturally-based groups, IFC groups, Panhellenic groups, and professional groups.
  • Phired Up's on-site training services are limited to 5 hours per day. Longer programming days are available for an additional cost.  At that additional rate, Phired Up can deliver chapter-specific training services to individual groups on the day of the program. Just work with your trainer or contact us today to make special arrangements.
