One of the greatest opportunities is to develop leadership skills and to apply these skills in practical applications. The development of leaders and preparing them for life after college is one of the many goals for Illinois State fraternities and sororities. Whether at the chapter level or beyond, a fraternity or sorority will teach, encourage, and assist you in the development and refinement of your leadership skills and the attainment of your goals. Each fraternity and sorority chapter is self-governed and offers its members the opportunity to learn and to improve leadership skills by inspiring chapter participation and campus involvement. As a member, you will develop and refine such qualities as poise, initiative, and judgment through your experiences of interacting with others and organizing campus and community events.
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 are the things that will not only set you apart in the future but aid you in leading a fulfilling and rewarding life. If you wish to be involved on campus and desire real life opportunities to test you leadership skills, there is no better way than becoming affiliated with a fraternity or sorority at Illinois State. Beyond the Greek community, fraternity men and sorority women are involved in nearly all registered student organizations at Illinois State and can be found on almost every committee that shapes campus life. Greek men and women continue to excel in all aspects of university life.
