involved with students for nearly 30 years as a proud
initiate of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, a Greek
Advisor for 20 years at three major institutions, a
national volunteer for the Association of Fraternity
Advisors, a scholar on fraternities & sororities and
student groups, a frequent presenter on college
campuses, and a national authority on Greeks and
student organizations in North America. He has
appeared on the NBC Nightly News, NPR's Talk of the
Nation, Court TV, Newsweek, and multiple other media
outlets, passionately talking students and how they
can make the best of their college career.
Binder received his Bachelor's degree in Education
from the University of Toledo, Master's degree in
Higher Education from Bowling Green State University
where he served as a House Dad for Lambda Chi Alpha
and Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) fraternities, and his
Doctorate from the University of Georgia (his
dissertation is on Scholarship and Greeks). He has
worked as a Greek Advisor at the University of
Georgia, the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, and at Bowling Green State University. He has
been actively involved as a leader in the Association

Risk Management Committee for many years, and most
recently serving as its National President. Ron is
currently an AFA Foundation Board member. He also
serves as the National Vice President for Gamma Sigma
Alpha - National Greek Academic Honor Society.
Ron's passion for higher education stems from his
involvement with his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
and his involvement in Orientation and Student
Government as an undergraduate. He has advised
several SigEp chapters across the country and
currently advises his home chapter, where he and his
partner host etiquette dinners each semester. On the
national level, Ron chairs SigEp's National Leadership
Committee, which oversees their Leadership Continuum;
a comprehensive, successive, leadership curriculum
that touches over 5,000 students annually.
Ron is in high demand as a speaker, appearing at over
100 campuses, many national conferences, and at
several national fraternity and sorority conventions.
He has impacted over 10,000 students with his talks on
Risk Management and Alcohol and Substance Abuse.
Ron has also published several articles and chapters
in books, and is often cited for his expertise in
Newsweek, NBC Nightly News, NPR's Talk of the Nation,
and Court TV. As the inventor of the Hazing Hotline,
Ron is called upon frequently to work with colleges
and universities to improve Greek Life and Student
Activities.
Testimonials
"The Risk Management program Dr. Binder organized gave us a rare opportunity to openly discuss the issues facing the Greek community here at Penn. It also served to bring together the various Greek leaders from all over campus in an effort to resolve these issues. The opportunity to share ideas with people who have extensive experience in the field was very valuable, and their insights helped give us direction for the future. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Binder's program to any Greek community."
~~Jason Cali, IFC President, University of Pennsylvania
"The IFC Risk Management program Ron conducted at Penn offered fraternity members an important opportunity to have an honest discussion about challenges within the community, educated the membership on approaches they could utilize to reduce their risks and formulated a plan for making strategic changes to current operations. I heard positive feedback on the layout of the program and the conversations that occurred from IFC officers, chapter presidents and new members. Overall, I am extremely happy we brought Ron to campus."
~~Stacy Kraus, Assistant Director in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, University of Pennsylvania
