In an effort to redefine the new member experience, Triangle has created a number of resources to assist our chapters and colonies in developing a New Member Education program that is based on treating each other with dignity and respect. Grounded in the values of our Ritual and the Code of Ethics, the suggested program provides an 8-10 week foundation to develop and shape new members.
The program as it stands now may be used in one of two ways:
- Used designed as-is. This means the colony or chapter would be following the model week-by-week and implementing all activities and assignments by way of weekly facilitator guides and supplemental resources.
- Used as a template for program reference. This means that the chapter would use this program to pick and choose what pieces and objectives of the program they feel would improve their current new member education program.
