Overview

The William Paterson University Greek S.T.A.R. (Striving Towards Amazing Results) Leaders Program is designed to help members of the Greek community who currently hold leadership positions or who aspire to hold a position, gain the skills needed to make an impact in their respective organizations.  Through their participation in the program, they will be able to network with their peers while participating in a variety of educational sessions. The program meets a specific need within the fraternity and sorority community, and seeks to supplement the holistic growth and development that WPU hopes to provide each student.

Who Will Participate?

Students must be members of WP’s Greek community, which is achieved by joining University-recognized Greek-lettered organizations.  Greek community members who participate in the program will become “S.T.A.R. Certified” through our WP digital badge after they have successfully completed all requirements.
