Greek Arete
The Greek Arete - Greek Leadership Fund was established in 2018 by Eric and Karin Burwell to highlight and elevate the excellence and virtue affiliated with the Illinois State University Fraternity and Sorority Life experience while honoring the history and foundation of fraternal organizations. The fund supports initiatives that call for excellence in each fraternity and sorority member and increase the value of the Greek community, for its members, the University and its Alumni. There is no English word which captures the exact meaning of Arete; the nearest equivalents are 'excellence' and 'virtue'.
