Greek Emerging Leaders

Held in the Fall and Spring semesters, the Greek Emerging Leaders class is geared towards any member of the Greek community who wants to learn more about and develop their leadership style, with a focus on the newer members of the chapters. The class is taught by the Greek Life and Center for Leadership and Service Graduate Assistants, who develop their curriculum around the book The Student Leadership Challenge by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. Students can sign up themselves, or they can be nominated by a fellow chapter member who sees great leadership potential them in! If you're interested in signing up for the course, you can visit the Center for Leadership and Service page.
