Emerging Leaders Institute

The Emerging Leaders Institute is a leadership program that focuses on providing leadership education and development to brothers with a focus on brothers within their first two years of brotherhood in the Fraternity.

The program seeks to provide brothers with opportunities to explore their definitions of leadership and to begin applying strong leadership behaviors and practices to their everyday actions. Brothers have the opportunity to network with their peers from across the country, develop a leadership legacy plan and identify future aspirations in their chapter/prospective chapter and beyond.

Applicants selected for the program work in a cohort style-model that culminates in an exclusive track at International Convention that is granted at no cost to the participant or the chapter.
