Foreword
The contents of this handbook are the result of a compilation of information from various chapters and
various brothers affiliated with the Pi Kappa Alpha International Fraternity for the use by any chapter
which is interested in establishing or improving its programming.
It should be understood that each chapter is self-governing and solely responsible for its day-to-day,
week-to-week and month-to-month operation and nothing herein is intended as or should be deemed as
supervision, direction, monitoring, oversight or as an effort to control the local chapter by the Pi Kappa
Alpha International Fraternity, which is a fraternal affiliation of over 200 chapters, over 10,000 active
undergraduate members and over 200,000 alumni and several nonprofit corporations, including, but not
limited to Pi Kappa Alpha Corporation, a Tennessee nonprofit corporation which serves as a
clearinghouse and an administrator for purposes of organizing meetings and conventions, publishing
fraternal publications and performing other functions for the entire International Fraternity.
This handbook is an educational guideline only which contains suggestions and recommendations
developed by various chapters which were able to develop successful programs. It is published and
available to any chapter through the clearinghouse in Memphis as a form of brotherly advice for whatever
use one wants to make of it.
All ideas herein are optional and nothing is mandatory. Participation is by the voluntary choice of each
chapter and each member with the understanding that one generally gets out of something what one is
willing to put into it. Thus, any language contained herein which could possibly be construed as
mandatory such as do this or do that is only in the form of a recommendation that if one wishes to
get the most benefit out of using the suggestions in the handbook, then the suggestions can be utilized
with the understanding that any handbook is, at most, a guide and that the users should substitute their
own experience and judgment to use, adapt or modify the suggestions and recommendations contained
herein. In other words, the handbook is a guide from which the users can use to establish, improve or
build their own programs, using their own knowledge, common sense, ideas and experience and to assist
the users from time to time as a reference for ideas and suggestions. In turn, each chapter is encouraged
to share good ideas with other chapters by advising the administrative clearinghouse for possible
inclusion in future publications.

The above is intended to provide the chapter with general information and suggestions for improvement. It is not a directive and is not intended to direct
the chapter in any manner. A chapter is not required to use or implement this information or suggestions. The decision on whether or how to use this

Program Overview
Strategic Planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making
decisions on allocating its resources to pursue that strategy, including its capital and people.
Various business analysis techniques can be used in strategic planning, including a SWOT
analysis.
In many organizations, strategic planning is viewed as a process for determining where an
organization is going over the next year or more - typically 3 to 5 years, although some extend
their vision out to 20 years.
In order to determine where it is going, the organization needs to know exactly where it stands,
then determines where it wants to go and how it will get there. The resulting document is called
the "strategic plan".
Strategic planning saves time, every minute spent in planning saves ten minutes in execution.

Strategic Planning

Step 1: The Chapter Assessment


The SWOT Analysis
SWOT stands for: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Each area forms a box on
a grid and you fill in each section to help formulate your assessment strategy. Strengths and
Weaknesses focus internally on what the organization can do. Threats and Opportunities are
external factors.
Many organizations may find it easy to look inward and see Strengths and Weaknesses, but fail
to look outside at the external Opportunities and Threats. This is where the SWOT analysis is
helpful. It challenges the organization to see beyond its inner self to determine what
opportunities are there and how the use these on the strengths. Ideally you will use chapter
strengths and outside opportunities to leverage weaknesses and threats.

Steps 2: Define the Organizations Values and Set


its Mission and Vision
Values: Main values projected by the organization, reflecting the organization's culture
and priorities. (The True Pike)
Mission: Defines what the organization seeks to provide. A good mission statement
describes purpose, why the organization exists.
Vision: Defines where the organization wants to be in the future. It reflects the
optimistic view of the organization's future.
One of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is to begin with the end in mind.
Our job as leaders is to articulate a clear and compelling vision to our members that will
empower them to volunteer their best efforts.
Vision: What your teams purpose looks like when achieved with excellence.
The Purpose of the ____________________ Chapter is to:

When we deliver our purpose effectively we will see the following outcomes:

Strategic Planning

Goals should be smart:


S- Specific
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Realistic
T- Timely
As an example, you could say I want to:
"Get in shape." -- or --, "Join a health club and workout 3 days a week."
-

Set goals with corresponding objectives designed to achieve that goal.

We want to be better at Public Relations


-- or -We will have an improved public relations program by April of this year through
implementation of the following steps:
-

Establish a documented public relations program by February.


Write thank you notes to all faculty / sororities following events.

333311290.doc

In Step 3: Goal Setting Breakout, each chairman/committee is encouraged to meet


individually during the retreat in order to set goals for the semester. As illustrated
above, the GROW Model is a good way to set S.M.A.R.T. goals.
Goal- What is our end goal? Where do we want to be?
Reality- Where are we now? How far are we from our end goal?
Options- What are the possible options for reaching our objective?
Way Forward- After analyzing our options, what are the action steps that will take us to
our final goal?

Examples using the GROW Model for each area of chapter operations are listed below.
After the breakout session, all attendees are encouraged to share the goals that they
established. These goals will be documented on the Chapter Goal Setting Worksheet as
part of the chapters strategic plan.
Using the GROW Model to Develop Goals
The following goals are broken up into the four areas that are rated by the Consultant Visitation
Analysis. They cover all areas of chapter programming.
