First National Leadership Training Program
Traditions - A Fraternity of Firsts

Our latest "first" revolves around leadership training. In 1990 Chi Psi became the first fraternity to offer a National Leadership Training Program (NLTP) to every undergraduate Brother. Although other fraternities have offered leadership programs, their training has been restricted only to elected officers of each chapter. The Chi Psi Educational Trust realized the need to offer all undergraduates a sequential four unit program that coincides with the four years of college.

The result is a comprehensive four year National Leadership Training Program that begins with the freshman's introduction to college life and study requirements, then turns to self awareness, moves to group and community leadership skills and concludes with career guidance in the senior year.

The benchmark of the final career guidance unit is the mentoring program. Seniors are matched with alumni mentors working in the student's chosen field to provide counseling and to assist them in employment search techniques.
