Bringing Fraternity Leaders Together
My name is Joe Finelli, and along with my friend and brother Dustyn Curran, we aim to help fraternity leaders around the world come together and share their knowledge. Both of us were leaders in our fraternity, running the gamut from social chair to recruitment chair to president. Having this broad array of experience to draw on led us to create this page and the accompanying blog, GreekThink.
Whether your chapter is working like a well oiled machine or is so unorganized that you don't know who is in charge, this page is for you! Everyone is welcome to learn and to chime in. Directly below, you will see links to our blog posts on a variety of topics related to fraternity leadership. Beyond that is a multitude of interactive content that allows you to post your questions, your wisdom or just your comments. Our hope is to make your fraternity chapter better!
You can follow us on Twitter, too, at GreekThink_Joe.

Advice from current and past leaders
Here's your chance to leave a bit of your own wisdom behind for others. If you are or were in a leadership role in your fraternity, chances are that you learned something from it. Whatever that may be, leave it here for others to learn from! It could even be a quote that taught you something or kept you motivated.
