Leadership

One of the most important purposes of a Delta Epsilon Chi chapter is to provide opportunities for members to participate in activities that will help them realize their full leadership potential. Being a leader means more than winning an election or receiving a title. A leader places the needs of the group above his/her own personal gains, and directs others toward a common goal. Any chapter member can serve as a leader when he or she influences others in order to help the chapter reach its goal. All members have the opportunity for leadership development by serving as a chapter officer or as part of a committee.
