One of greatest and easiest opportunities to develop these leadership skills and to apply them in practical applications is by joining a fraternity or sorority. Membership in a Greek organization gives you the means of discovering and refining your leadership potential. Within each chapter, members have the chance to assume a wide spectrum of leadership roles. Leadership is often developed by doing. Each chapter is self-governed and offers its members the opportunity to learn and to improve leadership skills by inspiring chapter participation as well as campus involvement.
Every member has an active role in leading the chapter.
By learning to work in a group situation, you will learn valuable skills such as goal setting, delegating responsibilities, planning activities, solving problems, and making decisions. Such skills that will not only set you apart in your future job searches, but can aid you in leading a fulfilling and rewarding life. There are a number of other leadership development programs are offered throughout the year by the Greek community for various Greek leaders. One of these programs is the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs' Emerging Leaders Leadership Academy. It is a development opportunity for up and coming leaders within the Greek community who are interested in learning more about themselves as leaders and as contributing members of teams.
