Mission: Ensuring Israel’s future by engaging Greek leaders on campus today.
Values: Leadership, Engagement, Pluralism, Spirit
Greek students are the leaders on campus today and the leaders of our communities tomorrow. From student government, to honor societies, sports to the performing arts, Greeks are leaders in all areas of campus life. This is also true in today’s society. CEOs, congressmen, lawyers, mayors, investors, actors, producers and presidents are often former Greek students. This is not by accident. Leadership and social responsibility are core principles instilled in Greek students from day one. These values prepare Greek students to significantly impact their campuses. Engaging students with Israel now ensures Israel’s future relationship with North America in all areas from Wall Street to Broadway; Washington to Jerusalem.
Israel Amplified seeks to mobilize the Greek community by training 100 students in the essential elements of Israel engagement. The Greek community is Israel’s natural ally. Israel Amplified will explore why this is and how it relates to everyday Greek life. By the end of Israel Amplified the participants will form personalized action plans, which will serve as a pledge to apply the lessons of the conference on campus. The work done at Israel Amplified is only the beginning for the participants, their campuses and the greater Greek community.
Why Amplified: The sound made by one instrument can be both beautiful and complex while reaching an intimate audience. But with proper amplification, a musician’s song can reach thousands upon thousands at once. Developed by many of the best political and creative minds, the Israel on campus movement is the compilation of broad and complex initiatives from many organizations. Israel Amplified does not seek to change or replicate these initiatives. Rather, Israel Amplified seeks to turn its participants into instruments of engagement on campus amplifying the Israel on campus movement’s best songs to reach the Greek community.
Location
Israel Amplified will be taking place at the world renown Arizona Biltmore Resort and Hotel—There are nine pools!

The Israel Amplified conference has been designed to maximize time and energy spent on developing your own personal relationship with Israel to bring a conversation about Israel into your chapter and the Greek system. There will be a combination of large group learning sessions, as well as smaller more direct learning environments.

The Israel Amplified team has worked very hard to bring you the best and most effective Israel education conference designed especially for student leaders in the Greek system.
