An Hour of Power

In just one hour—3,600 seconds—you’ll be challenged to rethink what it means to lead and influence change. This keynote won’t focus on the usual leadership buzzwords like integrity or authenticity. Instead, Dr. Lori Hart gets real about what drives impact: power. With decades of experience and a research-backed approach, Dr. Hart explores how power shows up in relationships, communities, and organizations—and how it’s used, shared, or abused. This session will help you understand how to recognize power dynamics, navigate them with confidence, and use your own power to spark meaningful change. This isn’t your average leadership lecture. It’s a bold, energizing call to action. Because in just 3600 seconds, you can unlock the awareness, courage, and strategy to become a more impactful member of your campus and your community.

Drunk Feminist

Drunk Feminist is a bold, honest program for sorority women that explores the complex intersections of alcohol, feminism, history, and culture. It invites participants to take a hard look at how women are treated in our communities—by others and by each other—and how our own expectations of members shape those experiences.

Through an intersectional lens, this session examines the history of women and feminism, alcohol education specific to the female body, and critical elements of prevention, healthy relationships, and respect. It asks big questions: Why do we accept certain behaviors? What messages are we sending to new members? And how can we do better?

Drunk Feminist isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness, accountability, and action. It’s an empowering, eye-opening experience that challenges norms and calls women to lead with intention.

Because when women recognize their power, they don’t just change the conversation—they change the world.

The Intersection of Well-Being and Pledging

Here’s the good news:

1. We all care about mental health.

2. We all care about growing our communities.

3. We all want to avoid a negative front-page headline on Monday morning.

This session starts with these three guiding principles and explores how well-being research intersects with the “pledging” process for fraternities.

Come ready to reflect on the new member experience and apply evidence-based strategies to ensure that the pledging process truly supports personal growth, leadership development, and community building.
