A good leader will volunteer to work on a house project or volunteer to pick up last-minute supplies for an event. And, most importantly, a good leader will work with others. In these ways, a member is leading by example and furthering the accomplishments of the chapter. But leadership is not confined to the Fraternity. On campus, a leader is also involved in extra-curricular activities.
Leadership is a skill that is practiced constantly.
Being a successful leader will of course be valuable in later life. Studies support the idea that fraternity men are business and community leaders. In fact all but three Presidents of the United States were members of fraternities. This Ideal suggests that a Brother continually strive to excel in scholarly pursuits and to enhance his social and cultural knowledge. It is important for him to be an informed citizen, knowledgeable in current events, and able to relate his classroom studies to events of the world.
