This past weekend I had the pleasure
to attend a joint conference with the Mid-American Greek Council Association
and the National Black Greek Leadership Conference. I co-presented a Hot Topic
on: Winston Churchill’s Leadership Lessons for College with Winton Churchill of
ChurchillMethod.com. Winton is a distant relative and expert on the life of
Winston Churchill…some say the greatest leader of the last 100 years.
This conference gathered youth
leaders from more than 25 states and was the largest gathering of Fraternity
and Sorority campus leaders in the country. The energy and the enthusiasm of
this group was amazing. The harmony and the intelligence demonstrated by these
young people is very hopeful for the future of our country. They asked great
questions and actively participated in the sessions.
I have a great respect for what the Fraternities and
Sororities are accomplishing. These organizations are so much more than social
groups. They stress service to others and leadership. I urge college students
to research the Fraternity and Sorority organizations on your campus. Start
building your resume. These are contacts that will be part of your “Linked in”
group of tomorrow.
Friday night was the pinnacle of the conference when both
groups gathered in the ballroom for the NBGLC and MGCA Step Show. My favorite
was 2 young men from a MGCA fraternity who performed under the guidance of a
NBGLC fraternity. It was heart warming to see bonding friendships that were
forming in the form of dance. Please watch a short video of the event, taken
with my Sony T200 pocket camera.
