Each winter, the Carlson Leadership Academies prepare newly elected SigEp officers to lead with confidence from day one. Through role-specific education, hands-on learning, and collaboration with peers from across the country, you'll gain the knowledge, skills, and support needed to make an immediate impact on your chapter.
Whether you're leading chapter operations, recruiting future brothers or strengthening your chapter's culture, Carlson equips you with practical strategies, proven best practices and a clear action plan to help you achieve your goals. You'll return to campus ready to inspire your brothers, lead your committee with confidence and create a stronger chapter experience.
Just as important, you'll build lasting connections with officers serving in the same role at chapters across the country, creating a network of peers who will share ideas, solve challenges together and support one another throughout the year.

Growth Skills Track
Leadership isn't limited to the executive board. Committee chairmen, emerging leaders and any brother looking to make a greater impact are encouraged to attend the Growth Skills track.
This interactive experience combines foundational leadership principles with practical skill development to help brothers become more effective leaders in every aspect of their lives. Participants will explore the purpose behind leadership in SigEp, develop a growth mindset, strengthen communication and persuasion skills, and learn practical strategies for influencing others and driving positive change.
Whether leading a committee, recruiting new members, interviewing for an internship or preparing for a future career, brothers will leave Carlson with the confidence and skills to lead both today and long after graduation.
Volunteer Education
Great chapters are built by great volunteers. As a SigEp volunteer, you have the opportunity to mentor emerging leaders, strengthen your chapter, and shape the undergraduate experience for generations of brothers. The Carlson Leadership Academy is your opportunity to grow alongside them.
This year, we’re excited to partner with the Leadership and Training Studio and the Whitespace Group to bring Facilitation School to Carlsons! They have been trusted leaders and trainers within the fraternity/sorority and higher education landscape, and will deliver hands-on skill development and training for our volunteers. Additionally, volunteers who are also Balanced Man Stewards will also have the opportunity to come together at Carlson, either before or after Facilitation School, to focus on role-specific skills and planning.
More program information will be coming out in the next several weeks.
