Additionally, you will discuss how to incorporate your Ritual into the day to day functions of your chapter and your life.
*This “CEO LEAD” Workshop is open to pre-juniors, juniors and seniors who are initiated members of the IFC, MGC or Panhellenic fraternity & sorority community only and is highly recommended for those looking to earn a Fraternity and Sorority Life Leadership Specialization.
