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.
