AGGIE GREEKS
SUPPORTING STUDENT LEADERSHIP: OVERNIGHT RETREAT AND TRAINING DAY
Our Aggie Greek leadership was excited to kick off the Spring semester! Just before the start of classes, chapter and council presidents attended a three-day leadership retreat program at Summer Mills Conference Center in Belton, Texas This was the first year that our retreat curriculum was designed in-house by Lo King Over 50 student leaders dedicated their weekend to unpacking and recommitting to the mission and identity of the community as we entered the new year
The retreat, officially titled “Developing Your Excellence Within,” aimed to empower student leaders by equipping them with key leadership skills and promoting a sense of unity within the community. Throughout the retreat, participants collaborated to create a cohesive brand built meaningful cross-council connections, and gained valuable insights from each others experiences
Embracing the power of connection, student leaders engaged meaningful discussions and interactive activities that explored different aspects of teamwork and critical thinking. From building puzzles to untangling human knots, the challenges of collaborating with peers and recognizing individual strengths proved to be a valuable experience With guidance from guest facilitators embodying a wide range of fraternal leadership expertise, participants were able to grow both personally and as a group.
Upon our return to campus, select chapter officers reconvened for our Spring 2025 Training Day to get a full breakdown of office expectations, resources, and university related polices that will support their positions
Together, these experiences provided leaders of the Aggie Greek community with the skills needed to deepen and expand the rich legacy of fraternity and sorority life at Texas A&M
