Apparently, quite a bit. According to our database, more than 100 of our living alumni are serving or have served as CEO, president, or high-level executives at their firms.
On leadership and the Kappa Sig connection, Robert Soderholm ’59 says that the fraternity taught him "the importance of sharing leadership tasks with those around me."
