Leadership Opportunities

We are a group of dedicated residential student leaders that strive to make a difference on the campus of UNCG and the Greensboro community. We are an organization that promotes advocacy, programming, recognition, academic excellence and service through our efforts.

The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is a service of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Inc. (NACURH). It is designed to give local, regional, and national recognition to students making outstanding contributions to their residence halls.

Realizing the value of participation, students have contributed vast amounts of their personal time in an effort to make their own college experiences more meaningful to them. This effort not only benefits them but their entire residence hall system.

NRHH exists to honor these students. These people work hard and all too often go unnoticed without even so much as a thank you. That is the fundamental purpose of an NRHH Chapter. NRHH is the only nationwide organization that recognizes residence hall leaders. Membership in local chapters is limited to one percent of your school’s residence hall population, or 15 members, whichever is larger. As you can see, it is very select group of leaders. Thus being selected into the membership is an honor in which one can take a great amount of pride.

What is NRHH?

The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH) is the premiere honorary supported by the leading international organization advocating for the interests and welfare of residence hall students, while also providing opportunities for their personal growth and development. NRHH strives to provide recognition for individuals who have contributed to the advancement of college and university housing. It ensures the advancement of member chapters through resource sharing, programming, and leadership development opportunities to contribute and support the vision of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls, Incorporated (NACURH).

Core Values

Recognition

No matter how small a task may seem, everybody likes to be recognized for their contributions. Recognition helps develops a culture of care on campus. It also shows people that their contributions are truly valued. From OTMs, Door Decorations, Smart Cookies, to one of our many appreciation days including Adopt-A-Cop, CRL/ACRL, Resident, Counseling, Maintenance and House Keeping Appreciation Day, NRHH loves to recognize others!

Service

Giving back through service is a what NRHH is all about. NRHH regularly collects items to give back to the Greensboro community. NRHH also loves to give back to the community by volunteering our time, hard work, and positive attitudes.

History of Kappa Gamma Mu

The chapter of NRHH at UNCG had been present for quite some time, but it was not until 2008 that the name Kappa Gamma Mu was selected. During the 2008-2009 academic year, a major rebuilding year for our chapter, the students who were in our chapter wanted it to be prominent around campus and within the state and region. They also wanted it to be a Greek letter organization but not to spell out RHA as some of our sister chapters have done. These members brainstormed and came up with the first letters of the ladies who were on the executive board at the time…which is what you see today…the initials of the ladies who got the organization back up and running and who were also a part of the initial conception of the organization. Today our chapter strives to be active within the UNCG and Greensboro communities. It is through service, leadership, scholarship, and recognition that our members make a difference on their community.

NRHH Colors are Blue and White

• Blue symbolizes loyalty: loyalty to purpose.
• White signifies a blank page: a page on which a student writes the successes and experiences that fill their days in the residence halls.

The Symbol of NRHH

The symbol for NRHH is a diamond surrounding the letters of the organization, and the three interconnected links, the chain of leadership.

• The diamond, the world’s most precious gem, signifies the value and beauty one finds in their residence hall experience.
• The first chain of the link represents caring. Leaders are people who are. They are concerned about themselves and others and are committed to making things better.
• The second link signifies dedication. Part of the leader’s commitment is the dedication to ideals and causes, which they display to others. Dedication is an important part of the involvement required to be a truly effective leader.
• The third link represents participation. True leaders participate fully in their academic pursuits, friendships, activities, and lives. Leaders do not sit on the sidelines, but are complete team players.

Together, the unbroken chain symbolizes the never-ending leadership of NACURH and membership to NRHH.

Write an OTM

WHAT ARE OTMS

“An “Of The Month” or OTM is a great way to recognize someone for a job well done! Any person can submit them and campus winners will be determined each month by the NRHH recognition committee. Any school affiliated with NACURH is eligible to make or receive an “Of the Month” nomination and/or award.

OTM QUICK TIPS

1. Make sure your nomination is month specific.  It is essential that you keep the nomination framed in the month that it occurred. For example if you are writing an OTM in the month of April you should not include information from March.
2. Write as if the reader does not attend UNCG. If  an amazing event occurred at the EUC write out Elliot University Center and describe what it is. We may know what EUC is, but as OTMs move up to the state, regional, and national level other people will not know what the EUC is.
3. Make sure your OTM is polished. Grammar, spelling, punctuation qre important in OTMs. No matter how amazing a nomination may be, if there are a lot of grammatical and spelling mistakes it may not be selected, so make sure you proofread your OTM! You may even want to consider writing it on a word document and then copy and paste it onto the OTM form.
4. Make the OTM creative yet concise.Make sure your OTM encompasses all the details you want it to but add some flare. Quotes from a famous person or another executive member, yes add it make it unique as possible.
5. Stay within the word limit, this can be something that easily and quickly disqualifies an OTM no matter how great it may be.
6. Make sure your OTM is in the right category. For example if you are writing about a student who happens to be a junior make sure you choose the student category and not the first year student category. Categories can be found below.

“MAKING HALLS INTO HOMES”

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) was founded in 1984 to unify the various residential communities across campus. It has since grown into the second largest student organization on campus and maintains a strong, positive relationship with the Office of Housing & Residence Life (HRL).

RHA strives to make our students on-campus experience the best it possible can be by:

• Hosting residence hall and campus-wide programs
• Conducting philanthropic initiatives
• Advocating for residents
• Representing on campus committees
• Participating in state, regional, and national student leadership conferences

All students living in university-managed residence halls and apartments are members of RHA by virtue of their residency status. At present, approximately 4,800 students are members of RHA, with as many as 150 involved in direct leadership positions.

More about our Advocacy and Philanthropy Efforts

One of the primary roles of RHA is to serve as an advocate for students living on campus. Advocacy takes many forms, forms, including assessment of resident needs and interests, personal meetings with university staff members, and promotion of resident interests on various university committees and boards.

WHY DOES RHA ADVOCATE FOR RESIDENTS?

• Direct connection with the Office of Housing & Residence Life (HRL) administration.
• Deep understanding of HRL policy.
• Electoral mandate from on-campus residents.
• Proximity to constituents (i.e., the residents).

HOW DO WE ADVOCATE?

• Figure out what residents need, not just what they want.
• Make sure residents know what RHA does and how to utilize RHA’s services to their optimal benefit.
• Seek out opportunities to meet with administrators and other student leaders.

TO WHOM DO WE ADVOCATE?

• HRL
• UNCG Administration
• Student Government Association
• UNCG Dining Services
• Campus Activities & Programs
• Other Student Organizations
• and many more!

The Residence Hall Association is more than just a campus student group. It is part a national association founded in 1954 that has since grown into the largest student organization in the world. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro proudly affiliates with the following groups:

National Association of College and University Residence Halls

The National Association of College and University Residence Halls (NACURH) is the largest student-run organization in the world. It brings together over 400 schools from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Qatar. NACURH promotes living on campus as an integral part of the college experience, and strives to provide resources to help member schools create the ultimate residence hall environment and experience. An annual conference is held each summer at one of the member universities, where more than 2,000 students gather to network and learn how to improve their organization. In addition, national awards are given in various categories such as School of the Year,President of the Year, Program of the Year, and many others. RHA seeks enthusiastic residents each Spring to serve as delegates of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

South Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls

The South Atlantic Affiliate of College and University Residence Halls (SAACURH) is one of eight regional affiliates that comprise NACURH. Similar to the national organization, SAACURH attempts to improve communities within college residence halls by providing network opportunities through conferences and other resources designed to help schools improve their residence hall organizations. A regional conference is held every fall with over 700 delegates from schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. In addition the National Communications Coordinators (NCCs) from each school meet in March for a business conference called RBC, where they discuss legislation and distribute awards for the School of the Year, Student of the Year, and many others. RHA seeks enthusiastic residents each Fall to serve as delegates of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

North Carolina Association of Residence Halls

The North Carolina Association of Residence Halls (NCARH) is the state affiliation college and university residence halls. Like its regional and national counterparts, NCARH provides resources and networking opportunities to member’s schools to facilitate the continued improvement of campus residence hall associations. An annual conference is held each year in February, with over 150 students from across North Carolina gathering to learn new methods for growing their organizations.

Who Attends Conferences?

• Anyone who lives on campus! We look for a diverse group of people to be a part of our delegation for each conference. This includes but is not limited to: RHA Executive Officers, General Assembly members, Hall Council members, RAs, NRHH members, and most importantly, underclassmen who are interested in getting more involved with RHA! An application for each conference is put out at least one month in advance to allow for ample delegation planning.
• Delegates’ duties for conferences include: Attending all delegate meetings; preparing programs to be presented to other schools; creating a banner and display; assisting with fundraisers that go toward the conference; creating a roll call video; and keeping a positive attitude!
• All delegates will be responsible for presenting a program at the conference, either individually or with partners. A program is a presentation about a topic that will give other delegates from other universities knowledge about how to better serve their residents. Programs can be about becoming a better leader, how to deal with cultural diversity, how to create a successful fundraising event, etc. They can be as original, creative, and fun as you want them to be. The main idea is to explain something that the other delegates can take back to their schools and use to better the lives of their residents
• Most importantly, we want delegates to HAVE FUN!
