What if happiness wasn’t something you chased, but something you created through service?

In From Letters to Leaders: The Legacy of Service, Dr. Michael Ayalon and the Greek University team take readers on a transformational journey through the heart of fraternity and sorority life – revealing how the timeless values of service, leadership, and purpose can build stronger communities and more fulfilled lives. This is not just a book about Greek Life. It’s a roadmap for every student, alumnus, and leader who believes in making a difference.

Through personal stories, campus experiences, and thought-provoking lessons, each chapter illuminates the deeper meaning behind giving back. From learning to “Fail Forward” and finding “Impact Over Image,” to discovering how “The Path to Happiness Is Giving Back,” this book challenges you to redefine leadership as a lifelong act of service.

You’ll hear from voices across the Greek community – students, educators, and professionals – each sharing how small acts of kindness can ignite movements, unify diverse organizations, and transform both individuals and institutions. Whether you’re a chapter officer, a campus advisor, or someone looking to lead with integrity, this collection will inspire you to serve with purpose and lead with heart.

From Letters to Leaders is a movement. It calls upon all of us to look beyond titles and trophies and to measure our success by the lives we touch.

If you’re ready to lead where it matters most, this book is your invitation.

Reviews:

"This book is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Every chapter highlights the true meaning and heart behind service, showcasing the connection, growth, and sense of purpose that come from giving back to others. As someone whose personal values are rooted in service, who is a member of Greek Life, and now works with fraternity and sorority students, I saw so much of my own experience reflected throughout the book. The stories are authentic, relatable, and full of wisdom that remind us service isn’t just another event, but it’s a mindset. It’s how we lead, how we build community, and how we leave things better than we found them. This book left me truly inspired and energized to keep helping, guiding, and mentoring students to find meaning through service. It's a must-read for anyone who believes leadership begins with giving back!"
