Take advantage of the opportunity to join other LEAD Scholars and LEAD staff in this leadership and community building experience! This hands-on event includes a two-day program at the Warren Willis Retreat Center in Leesburg, Florida. This will be a very interactive leadership development experience (including a low ropes course experience), so bring your enthusiasm and ideas!

The purpose of this retreat is to allow LEAD Scholars to build a community, to network with peers prior to classes starting, and to begin enhancing your team building and leadership skills. The retreat registration fills up quickly! We will also have a waiting list in the event that participants cancel. The final deadline is below, but you may contact our office (407-823-2233 or leadscholarsacademy@ucf.edu) after this date to inquire if spaces are still available. The retreat cost includes all transportation, meals, and activities but does not include the early move-in fee.

Sorority Recruitment Information

If you choose to participate in both the REEL Retreat and Sorority Recruitment, please note that you will miss two event rounds related to the recruitment process that will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

All sororities will receive a list of LEAD Scholars participating in the REEL Retreat to inform them of your excused absence prior to the beginning of sorority recruitment. First, you need to register for Panhellenic recruitment. Then, you need to email the VP of External Recruitment at ucfpanexternalrecruitment@gmail.com with the subject heading “Pan Knight Line-Up.” In the email, please provide your first and last name, the organization or activity you are involved in (i.e. Band, RA, LEAD Scholar, etc.) and what days you will be missing for Formal Recruitment. Pan Knight Line-Up will take place on Sunday afternoon prior to the retreat.  If you have any questions, please call Fraternity and Sorority Life (407) 823-2072.

Please contact Fraternity and Sorority Life for more information.
