Why Go Greek?
Leadership Development:
A fraternity provides leadership training and experience for each of its members.
Every chapter has their own governing structure, typically consisting of a president and various other positions.
Once a member in the organization, you are able and encouraged to run for such positions.
Besides chapter leadership, the governing councils also elect their leaders from the greek community.
As well as greek leadership positions, greeks are leaders on campus as well.
Greeks have led student organizations, started new clubs, and have even served in the student government association.
