Leadership

All Greek organizations offer members direct exposure to the development of leadership skills. Each chapter provides a variety of leadership positions for its members. The Greek community also provides campus-level leadership experience and serves as a stepping stone to other campus leadership opportunities and activities.

There are over 200 leadership positions available within the Greek community.

Friendship

The fraternities and sororities play an exceedingly active role in various campus annual events such as, Homecoming, Mackay Week, and other events sponsored by the ASUN programming board (Flipside Productions). Getting involved in campus life can prove to be a valuable experience and may develop friendships that last a lifetime.
