Daniel C. Merkel marq03:  LEADING FROM BEHIND
Learned Leadership Style is Valuable Lesson

Since joining Triangle Fraternity in the spring of 2003, I find myself learning, teaching and more importantly, growing. I have the pleasure of becoming closer to people than I ever thought possible. This past year, now that I live in the chapter home, my learning, teaching, and growing has sky-rocketed to new heights. Living here has taught me many life lessons, including how one cleans and repairs a toilet after it leaks through a floor, how to deal with people who are at odds, and how to help others. All of these items may be expressed by the growth of my interpersonal skills. Over these past years, I have helped Brothers become more comfortable in professional settings. Meanwhile, Brothers here have helped me willingly and openly to become more socially suave. Admittedly, this is an area that I needed a great deal of help. To that end, I have made leaps and bounds with the help of the people that I have found here at Triangle.
