Leadership Opportunities

The Greek Life and Intercultural Education area within the Office of the Dean of Students is responsible for facilitating leadership development programs for chapter officers and the general membership of fraternities and sororities. Student committees composed of men and women within the Greek community coordinate many of the programs. From new member programs to leadership retreats to diversity education, Greek Life and Intercultural Education strives to educate students about critical issues facing the campus community and to enhance the students' leadership skills and experiences.

For further information on how to get involved with any Greek Life and Intercultural Education programs, please call (512) 471-9700.

"After my experiences with GLIE programming over this past year, I have realized that we are a community of students committed to high standards and enjoyable programming. Being Greek isn't going to formals and partying, it's about comradery, philanthropy, and scholarship."
Phil Butler, Phi Kappa Theta
