Member Training and Development

One of the many benefits of joining a fraternity or sorority is the training and development opportunities offered through community, council, and chapter activities. Each national organization has minimal requirements for its chapters to achieve personal growth and development among its members. Councils typically provide regular personal and professional development programming. Fraternity and sorority members are supplied with the tools to address such topics as campus resources, personal finance, bystander intervention, safe alcohol consumption, event planning, servant leadership, and much more.

Outside of the local chapter, there are a number of campus and national organizational opportunities for fraternity and sorority members to continue their personal growth.
