Each year, the Southeastern Province proudly hosts the Jerry T. Johnson Undergraduate Leadership Summit, a premier event designed to cultivate, inspire, and empower the undergraduate members of the fraternity. Named in honor of Past Province Polemarch Jerry T. Johnson, a leader whose legacy of mentorship and dedication to undergraduate development continues to set the standard, this summit represents a cornerstone of leadership preparation within the province. Held annually in February, the Undergraduate Leadership Summit provides an unparalleled opportunity for undergraduate members to convene, engage, and grow alongside their peers and advisors. The event is strategically hosted at the institution of the sitting Junior Province Vice Polemarch, who, along with a dedicated committee, leads the planning and execution of the program. This structure not only ensures that the event reflects the needs and aspirations of the undergraduate body but also provides invaluable leadership experience for the Junior Province Vice Polemarch and his team. The summit’s content focuses heavily on leadership development, professional growth, and brotherhood enrichment. Through a carefully curated agenda that includes workshops, guest speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, undergraduate members are equipped with the tools necessary to lead effectively within their chapters, on campus, and in their communities. These sessions cover critical areas such as conflict resolution, organizational management, academic excellence, and strategic planning. A key feature of the summit is the participation of chapter advisors, who play a vital role in guiding and supporting undergraduate members. Advisors attend the summit not only to provide mentorship but also to engage in specialized leadership development training tailored to their roles. Additionally, town hall discussions offer a forum for open dialogue between undergraduates, advisors, and provincial leadership, fostering transparency, accountability, and collaboration. The Jerry T. Johnson Undergraduate Leadership Summit is more than an event—it is a tradition that underscores the province's unwavering commitment to developing principled, capable, and confident leaders. It stands as a living tribute to Brother Jerry T. Johnson's vision for undergraduate excellence and his enduring belief in the potential of every young brother to lead with integrity and purpose.
