Kick off the year with purpose, connection and leadership growth. The Greek Leaders Retreat begins with the new academic year and is an opportunity for council officers and chapter presidents to further develop as leaders.

A Snapshot of What You’ll Gain from the Experience

  • Build community across Councils.
  • Strengthen community engagement.
  • Identify resources that can support you in their role.
  • Enhance leadership competencies.

Who Has to Be There?

All sorority and fraternity chapter presidents and IFC, MGC, NPHC, and Panhellenic council executive members.

  • Alternates can replace chapter presidents, if they are approved by council advisor and are currently members of the executive board.
  • Every chapter is required to have one approved delegate from the chapter. The chapter will lose Standards of Excellence points for not being in attendance.
  • If a representative confirms their attendance and then does not attend the Greek Leadership Summit, there will be a financial obligation the council/chapter will be responsible for.
  • All attendance questions need to be addressed with Melissa McGuire, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs (and interim Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life).
