Greek Life Leadership Programs
The GEM EXPERIENCE For New Members
GROWTH, FRIENDSHIP, LEADERSHIP, COMMUNITY and SELF DISCOVERY.
Thirty-five (35) new members are selected each Spring semester to participate in this leadership development program during the fall of their sophomore year. Participants receive mentoring from juniors and seniors in the Greek community and engage in 6 training sessions and an overnight retreat. As a result of this experience, sophomore leaders:
- Meet and network with emerging leaders from various Greek chapters
- Receive face time with faculty and staff members from across the Lehigh campus
- Understand the importance of building and growing relationships as the foundation of leadership.
- Learn how to manage small and large groups in order to affect change in their chapters and the Greek community.
GEM was great because I got to know a variety of different people in the Greek community in a situation that was other than a social one. The Ropes course trip was great!

I really enjoyed the workshops, especially the one that was based on the survival skills because of the break out group discussion, debate, and comparison of decision making with other groups.
