Colleges and universities are establishing courses and programs to promote leadership
development. In fact, there is evidence that the college experience is associated
with increases in leadership skills. Furthermore, there is evidence that being a
member of a social fraternity or sorority develops your leadership skills more than a
nonmember. Accordingly, a social fraternity is launching a new, comprehensive
leadership development program for its members and leaders -- called Lead
by Example And Precept (LEAP) - to introduce, develop, and recognize
lifelong leadership competencies in undergraduate members to prepare these students
to be leaders for the world in which they will live.
