  • The incredible resilience and power of the fraternal community to members and universities

  • How to maintain and enhance brother/sisterhood

  • Resources and next steps to stay organized and operational

Created for members of the Greek Life community and anyone interested in learing more about the topic stated above. 


About the Presenters

MACAllis-400x400-Circle

Dr. Mari Ann Callais has served as an Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of the Student Affairs Graduate Program at Mississippi State University. She spent time in the corporate world working for Capstone Development in Birmingham, Alabama.  She served as National President of her sorority for Theta Phi Alpha. She received a B.A. in Political Science from Loyola University, earned a master’s degree in Education Administration from The University of Holy Cross and received a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Research from Louisiana State University.

Currently, Dr. Callais serves as the Sr. Director of Strategic Initiatives for Delta Delta Delta Fraternity. She is a member of The Catalyst Agency Speakers Team and has been a keynote and featured speaker at many local, regional, national and international conferences and conventions.

Mari Ann has lived in Hammond, Louisiana, since 1991 when she moved there to serve as the Director of Student Organizations and Greek Life at Southeastern Louisiana University where she served for 10 years.

During that time, Mari Ann was present when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and crippled the City of New Orleans. Having been a resident of southeastern Louisiana most of her life, Mari Ann like many others was greatly impacted. As a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans, Mari Ann was concerned about her chapter coming back to Loyola as the campus was closed for the fall 2005 semester. Loyola, like other universities in the area, needed students to come back and specifically saw fraternities and sororities as a part of their rebuilding process and retention plan. Mari Ann will share how some of what was learned then, can certainly apply to the current situation we are all in today.
