The Center for Fraternity & Sorority Life develops students into ethical and purpose-based leaders by providing meaningful learning and involvement experiences. Through leadership development programs, fraternities and sororities, and service opportunities, the Center guides students in development of the self-awareness and critical thinking necessary to enhance individual, organizational, and community growth. The Center values integrity, inclusivity, and collaboration as guiding principles for effective leadership.

Leadership Defined:

"A leader is not necessarily a person who holds some formal position of leadership or who is perceived as a leader by others. Rather, a leader is one who is able to affect positive change for the betterment of others, the community, and society. All people, in other words, are potential leaders.

Moreover, the process of leadership cannot be described simply in terms of behavior of an individual; rather leadership involves collaborative relationships that lead to collective action grounded in the shared values of people who work together to affect positive change."
