Be a leader

There are thousands of leadership positions available to Penn State students in clubs, organizations, honor societies, performance groups, intramural teams, fraternities, sororities and in student government.

Student Affairs offers annual student leader training sessions, educational programs on leadership skills and credit courses on leadership through our Center for Student Engagement.

Membership in a social fraternity or sorority provides another excellent opportunity to foster leadership skills and develop long-lasting friendships. Social fraternity and sorority membership may not be for everyone, but research has shown that social Greek-letter organization membership has a positive effect on your persistence in college, your overall satisfaction with your college experience, your level of satisfaction with the instruction you receive on campus and your level of satisfaction with the social life on campus. Check out Penn State's fraternities and sororities - there are over 85 active chapters.
