Job Details
As Bucknell completes a new strategic visioning process, the University seeks a Director of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs to collaboratively shape the future of its robust Greek-letter community. With a rich tradition of Greek-letter organizations beginning with the founding of the first fraternity in 1855 and the first sorority in 1895, Bucknell’s Greek-letter organizations today are comprised of 18 chapters totaling 50% of eligible students.
As an accessible and engaged leader for this sizable campus community, the Director will work with multiple campus constituencies to craft a novel strategic framework for Greek-letter engagement within Bucknell’s residential, liberal arts context. Bringing a vision that combines best practices in leadership and student development with risk management and risk reduction education, the Director will serve as an advocate for fraternity and sorority affairs while nurturing positive partnerships across campus and externally with national organizations.
A highly visible figure throughout the University and a key member of the Student Affairs Division, the Director will be supported by two Assistant Directors for Fraternity and Sorority Affairs and will report to the Associate Dean of Students for Living, Learning, and Leadership.
The ideal candidate will have a master’s degree and experience with collaborative and strategic change management within student affairs, as well as a strong understanding of and familiarity with the dynamics of Greek life.
For best consideration, please send all nominations and applications electronically and in confidence to:
