Job Description:

COORDINATOR FOR GREEK LIFE

Reporting to the Associate Director for Greek Life, the Coordinator for Greek Life will serve as a key advocate for the fraternity and sorority community by supporting initiatives that enhance the learning experience, leadership capacity, and sense of belonging for members. The coordinator provides comprehensive and cross-functional development to students across affiliated chapters and three governing councils (Interfraternity, National Pan-Hellenic, and Panhellenic). The coordinator plays a key role in the advancement of departmental and divisional priorities.

GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS POSITION INCLUDE

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEADERSHIP

Emphasis on curriculum design and the student learning experience

A primary goal for Greek Life at LSU is to provide intentional out-of-classroom learning experiences that support the development of the community. The Coordinator will support these efforts by standardizing the learning goals for all programs and services through curriculum and program design.

Cross-functional fraternity and sorority advising

Holistically supporting all members of a sorority and fraternity community requires an unconventional approach to Greek Life work. The Coordinator has the opportunity to implement strategies that are high impact, relevant, moves the entire community forward, and that cuts across any singular council, by utilizing a cross-functional approach to serving students, and allowing advisement across all councils and chapters.

Cultivate a collaborative health and safety model

Fostering a safe and healthy sorority and fraternity community is difficult and requires strategic and coordinated efforts—it can be done. At this critical juncture for the LSU sorority and fraternity community, the elimination of hazing and other high-risk behaviors is top priority. Simultaneously, there is an opportunity to build a culture of care and concern by creating a model of education and peer accountability, that draws from research and public health strategies.

ATTRIBUTES OF THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE

Maintains a deep appreciation for the educational and social value of a diverse community and maintains commitment to providing inclusive and accessible programs, services, events, and experiences

Does not start with “no” when addressing student concerns or requests, but instead works to find innovative ways to solve problems and meet student needs

Embraces a “progress not perfection” approach when working with college students understanding that every situation provides a teachable moment

Possesses the ability to navigate complex systems while building relationships across diverse stakeholder groups

Can communicate with clarity, direction, and conviction in person, in written communication, and in virtual spaces

Has the desire to advocate for the student experience while also supporting institutional and divisional priorities and initiatives

Approaches the work with a positive, collaborative attitude that creates spaces for support, encouragement, and development.

ABOUT THE DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS PRIORITIES

Three priorities guide our work in the Division of Student Affairs: mattering & belonging, inclusion & access and quality. We believe creating a sense of mattering & belonging requires us to ensure every space, place, and interaction communicates to a student that they are home. Being inclusive and accessible in our work means that as our student body begins to more closely reflect the diversity of our state, it is our duty to design programs, services, events, and experiences with everyone in mind.

Every interaction we have with them should communicate care, relevance, polish, and attention to detail.
