This study involved a one group pretest-posttest study to analyze the effectiveness of the Alpha Phi Omega leadership development course titled SERVE. This study focused on the collegiate members of this coeducational service fraternity. The Student Leadership Practices Inventory was administered as both a pretest and posttest; the posttest was administered 12 weeks after completion of the weekend-long SERVE course. Fifteen of the 28 SERVE attendees completed both the pretest and posttest. Analysis used a paired "t" test and Wilcoxon signed rank analysis to determine if there was a difference in self-reported exemplary leadership practices. The statistical significance threshold was set at 0.05. There were statistically significant increases found in all five of the exemplary leadership practices model the way, challenge the process, enable others to act, inspire a shared vision, and encourage the heart. These results suggest that participation in SERVE does have a measurable effect in self-perceived leadership practices.
