Look at any large college campus and there could be up to 900 classes offered to teach it. So what is it? Leadership. Were you expecting that onc) Yes, from the commander in chief to an elementary school line leader, we are surrounded by leadership. We look to pastors, priests, parents, presidents, teachers and CEOs to guide us in what we do everyday. And , we look to ourselves to be organizers, facili­ tators and implementors of our time and abilities - we lead our own lives. It's no doubt that leaders are important, and that in some way, everyone is a leader. Have you rounded up your children and their friends to take them to the pooP Are you the president of your local garden club? Have you led your company in productivity this month) Have you orga­ nized a reunion? Then you're a leader. But, why are Susan B. Anthony, Sir \Vinston Churchill and Martin Luther Kingjr. immortal­ ized in our history books) Because they were great leaders for great causes. Those are the kind of leaders we would like to build in Pi Phi: great leaders for great causes. Leaders who have a vision, make a plan and take action. Leaders who realize the cause and are ready to implement it. Through the Values Workshop, Pi Phi is presenting collegiate members with the great cause of upholding a lifelong tradition of developing friendships, serving others and leading. Through o the workshop, we are helping collegians take the first step to develop into leaders who can advance the cause well into alumnae life. In their book, "The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership," john C. Maxwell and Zig Ziglar out­ line 2 1 laws that mark a leader. A few of these laws include: really knOwing your final destination no matter how good the map is ; being trust\vorthy; encouraging buy-in to yourself, as well as the vision; and being connected to a person's heart before you ask for her help. However, one of the most pertinent laws is that it "takes a leader to raise a leader." As alumnae, you are the influence, the drive, the spark that can help collegians develop into great leaders. Through participating as an MC member, a CPP, an alumnae club member, a Directions mentor, or as a fellow Pi Phi family member you can help our collegians as a trust\vor­ thy friend who knows and can communicate the \1.sion , as well as connect to their heans.
