Sorority and Fraternity chapters at Loyola Marymount University are seen as a value-add to our vibrant campus community by creating membership experiences where the organization and members are Accountable, Holistic, Engaged, Connected, and Innovative. It is the belief of the Sorority & Fraternity Life Office that to ensure chapters are places where members can thrive, developmental workshops around the focus areas outlined in ASPIRE are a key piece of our educational initiatives. Through the use of community building circles under the guidance of restorative practices, members will engage in dialogue with one another around each of the focus areas outlined in ASPIRE so that they can bring what they learn back to the chapter.
Attendance Requirements: Two (2) Members from each chapter for each workshop. We ask that those in attendance have not attended a developmental workshop at any point during their membership in LMU SFL. New members are not eligible to participate in the semester in which they are a new member.
As of November 20, 2019 approximately 10% of the LMU SFL Population has been exposed to Restorative Practices via our SFL Developmental Workshop Series.
