The advisors for my chapter are encouraging us to look into a program called "Something of Value." I did some research about this online, but it costs a lot of money, and I'm curious just how effective it is.
Has anyone's school done this program? If so, how did you feel about it? Was it worth the effort to plan it? Was it valuable to ALL the sororities involved?
Basically I was hoping to talk to some people that had done it, or heard about it, anything you can tell me would be great!
Thanks so much!
And for those of you as in the dark as I was, here's a quick overview from
www.npcwomen.org/college/c_sov.php :
"The Something of Value program is an initiative solely of the National Panhellenic Conference. It is a values-based approach to risk management education for collegians. The day-long program is led by a traveling team of NPC representatives and an attorney with NPC affiliation. Program format includes group discussions of values, a mock trial, and teaching confrontation skills. Participants identify risky behaviors such as abusive relationships, substance abuse, academic dishonesty, eating disorders, financial mismanagement, hazing, harassment, personal safety concerns, and other issues specific to their campus environment. Action plans are developed and collegians are empowered to follow-through. Contributions to Something of Value support presentations from coast to coast."
