Some of the participants had the following to say:

“This experience had such a positive impact on me. I have learned to be more of a positive member of, not only my organization, but the Greek community as a whole. I am able to have a positive effect on others by my own actions and behaviors.” IMPACT 2008 Retreat participant

“I think it has made me more open to diverse people and realms of thinking. A lot of interesting and powerful discussion took place and evolved over the course of the weekend, which was an intense thing. I felt that others became comfortable in hearing what I had to say (even when it involved testing commonly held beliefs), and in feeling accepted, I was able to open my mind more to the thoughts of others.” LEAD IU 2008 participant

“This experience challenged me to accept the fact that not everyone is the same. I cannot and should not expect everyone to act like me.” LEAD IU 2008 participant
