Preparing Future Leaders
College brothers were always provided an opportunity to lead. Brother Tillman continues to cultivate and grow emerging leaders. From guest speakers at college brother retreats, bonding activities at sports-themed restaurants, and a continuing emphasis on scholastic achievement, resources were allocated to support our collegiate members so they could focus on promoting brotherhood and academic excellence.
