The purpose of this study was to assess aspects, behaviors and characteristics of transformational and transactional leadership among fraternity and sorority leaders. This research examined the relationship between their self- described leadership behaviors and those perceived by their followers. The relationship between their transformational leadership behaviors and their achieving styles was investigated, and achieving style differences based on gender was also examined. During the winter quarter of 2007, each fraternity and sorority president who was in office during the fall quarter of 2006 at Ohio University was asked to respond to statements on the Student Leadership Practices Inventory (Student LPI) and the online version of the L-BL Achieving Styles Inventory (ASI). Additionally, four members from each president’s chapter or council were systematically selected and asked to complete the Student LPI-Observer form on behalf of the president. Finally, to complement the researcher’s statistical analysis, four separate focus group interview sessions were convened. Thirty fraternity and sorority presidents were eligible to participate; 16 were males and 14 were females. Thirteen males and 12 females returned completed surveys. Results were analyzed using independent t-tests to look at differences between individual groups. Correlations between each of the Student LPI and ASI scales were also run. Fraternity and sorority presidents who were in office during Fall Quarter 2006 used transformational leadership styles. Fraternity and sorority chapter/council members depicted their presidents as leaders who display and use transformational leadership behaviors and characteristics. Both males and females preferred to employ the same leadership behaviors and styles when leading their organization. Male and female presidents prefer to utilize different ASI achieving styles to accomplish their goals.
