Why is Social Excellence important?
To be successful in life, students need to learn to connect with other people in a meaningful way. To be successful in recruitment, members need to learn to connect with other people in a meaningful way. Social Excellence, when committed to, provides the attitude and confidence necessary to recruit successfully, but more importantly, it prepares students with the most important skill-set they'll need to be successful in life.

How does Social Excellence advance Greek organizations?
As technological connections increase, personal, human, face-to-face connections can suffer. But we all know that those human connections are vital to our organizations and to our personal fulfillment. What if our organizations (especially social fraternities & sororities ) fulfilled this vital need of college students to become Socially Excellent? Isn't the definition of social excellence the highest exhibition of fraternal values? What if our organizations were intentionally preparing the most socially astute leaders of tomorrow? Doesn't that make us truly relevant to our institutions, to our potential members, and to our communities? Social Excellence, when focused on as a core deliverable of our Greek organizations, makes our organizations more valuable to others. Many members of so-called "social" organizations have actually become something closer to anti-social. If we could improve our members level of Social Excellence, imagine what else might be improved as a result.

How does someone become Socially Excellent?
Social Excellence is a decision made by individuals. Choose to live the Socially Excellent Lifestyle (a.k.a. The Phired Up Lifestyle). Challenge yourself everyday, in every social situation, to engage. Be open. Be willing. Be curious. Be vulnerable. Be confident. Be responsible. Be fun. Make the decision. Dare yourself to be Socially Excellent, and share the dare with others.

Phired Up Productions is openly challenging Student Life professionals and especially the leaders of the fraternity/sorority movement to elevate Social Excellence to the top of the priority list. Let's be about challenging ourselves and our students to be Socially Excellent.
