Purpose of ELC Program

Educational Leadership Consultants (ELCs) are recently graduated women who travel for the Fraternity to provide additional support for our chapters.  Every chapter receives a visit each year by an International representative � the ELC program makes this possible.  Our consultants help chapters with goal setting, recruitment, officer training, idea sharing, programming, operations, and so much more.
