True leadership comes from experience. As a member of Greek life, you'll find tremendous opportunities that will give you the experience to become an effective leader.

Fraternities and sororities are self-governing, giving members numerous leadership possibilities.

Members:

  • serve as chapter officers and on Greek community-wide governing councils
  • lead and get involved as members of non-Greek campus organizations
  • improve organizational skills and time management

Leadership opportunities offered throughout the year:
