Leadership Development

Calling all Emerging Leaders! Offered each semester, the Buckeye Greek Leadership Institute (BGLI) is one of the oldest leadership programs for new initiates of fraternities and sororities at The Ohio State University. BGLI  is a five-week leadership program consisting of five group discussions as participants build critical problem-solving and leadership skills. The program introduces new members of the sorority and fraternity the basic concepts of values-driven leadership while teaching problem-solving strategies to create positive change in their community.

The Harm Reduction Institute (HRI) is a 90-minute institute for chapter leaders that will go over the basic concepts of harm reduction in SFL and help chapters set goals for the AU22 semester. Chapters will be able to start the RM&HR plan with SFL staff throughout the institute.
