T.J. Sullivan has spoken to more than a million students since 1990. He worked for his national fraternity, is a past staff member of the BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education Network, and co-founded CAMPUSPEAK in 1999. He has been recognized with top national awards from the Association of Fraternity Advisors and the North-American Interfraternity Conference for his work with students on issues ranging from HIV/AIDS awareness to alcohol abuse. At age 38, T.J. is one of the best known names in college programming, having keynoted every Greek regional conference at least three times. Student audiences appreciate T.J. for his speaking style which blends humor, straight-talk, and practical strategies. He consistently receives the highest evaluations because he talks to students at their level, not as an authority figure. With T.J., you get a speaker with a distinct speaking style that connects with students. Students leave with applicable ideas to improve their lives and their organizations. "I am very very pleased with the entire program and setting the program up. Everyone that I was in contact with at CAMPUSPEAK was professional and lovely! T.J. was hilarious and connected really well with the audience. Both the IFC and Panhellenic Councils had a blast with him at dinner. And I have already heard people mention ways of implenting all the cool ideas that T.J. suggested! I can't wait for him to come back to campus again. We absolutely loved him!" Katerina Tsybouleva “TJ's program is valuable for every organization, both Greek and non Greek. His lecture was funny and exciting as well as beneficial and helpful.” Rachel Yarin The Apathy Myth: We were very pleased to have him speak at Widener University. In fact, 90% of our students rated him as "excellent" on our conference survey, the highest rated speaker of the day! Robert Freiling Jr. What if you were told that what you think is apathy is actually the result of poor leadership that is unresponsive to the needs of the students in your organization? Would you open your mind to the possibility that there are ways to motivate your group or chapter’s members that don't require making every single event mandatory? T.J. Sullivan offers student leaders a workshop that focuses on practical ideas – evaluating their events, changing their approach to meetings, and redirecting their management of their people – attacking apathy head on. It’s about shaking things up, with an eye to re-igniting passion in their organizations. Leaders have the power to eliminate apathy if they take specific steps to improve their organizations and their approach to serving their members. T.J. Sullivan has been working with student organizations for more than two decades, and he uses his trademark humor and problem-solving style to energize student leaders who feel overwhelmed. This program is perfect for leadership events, presidents’ retreats, or any other programming opportunity where students are searching for practical answers. "T.J. did a great job connecting with our audience. He spoke to us like a friend and got us involved. He brought up real-life situations that we could all relate to. And, he's funny at the same time. He really did an awesome job." Terese
Acou, Student Confronting the Idiot in Your Chapter Every fraternity and sorority chapter has at least one member whose behavior causes tensions and problems for everyone. The out of control roommate. The brother who gets in fights. The sister who won't pay her dues. Bad grades. Hazing. Abusive drinking. Promiscuity. Drugs. Embezzlement. Bad eating habits. Violent relationships. Damage to chapter property. Wouldn't our chapters be much happier and healthier if we could confront the members whose bad behavior is bringing everyone else down? Don't we have the responsibility to confront the "idiots" in our chapters? We often allow our friends to risk their own health, safety, relationships or grades with idiot behavior. We are afraid to confront because we fear losing a friend, losing respect, or being judged. In this hysterical, upbeat program, T.J. challenges all Greeks to step to the plate and find the courage to confront negative actions and attitudes from their fellow members. He offers practical strategies for increasing the effectiveness of constructive confrontations. By encouraging members to confront each other, T.J. gives students a powerful opportunity to put the values of their fraternity or sorority into action. Regardless of the issues facing your Greek system, this program will challenge everyone to take responsibility for building a better, more responsible community. "I went, headphones and reading material in hand, prepared to be bored out of my mind, but TJ entertained me the entire hour and I never even took my survival gear out of my backpack! He was real with us. He made us laugh, and he also presented relevant, informative material applicable to everyone." Whitney
