It’s not only a chance to show off your chapter’s hard work and original ideas, but also a way to contribute to making the Tri Delta experience one to be shared among all our members. Plus, as you learn from other chapters, you’ll get a wealth of insight and ideas to take back to your own campus!

Delta Demos is an interactive event, with conversation and Q&As among collegians. No formal presentations are required! Share and showcase any materials you’d like (e.g., marketing examples, recruitment videos, etc.) as members visit your table. If your chapter is selected, you’ll have the opportunity to submit your items and/or materials to the Member Experience Team for our review.

We hope all our collegiate chapters will submit their ideas for Delta Demos! We encourage you to spend a little time brainstorming with outgoing officers and interested members about your ideas and your successes. Planning on what to submit, completing the Interest Form and developing any materials for at Delta Demos doesn’t have to be limited to your current officer team! This year, we hope to see more of you join in the Delta Demos process.

If your chapter has creatively approached engaging your members and enhancing your time together as collegians, we want to hear about it! Let us know if you have:

• Demonstrated a commitment to chapter and/or member growth and development
• Embraced new approaches to chapter initiatives
• Reworked an aspect of chapter life
• Addressed societal issues
• Positively impacted the lives of members
• Influenced non-members in a meaningful way
• Creatively addressed a challenge
• Modified the “basics” into something meaningful
• Honored our Founders’ vision of being “kind alike to all”

Submissions are due by Monday, Feb. 27, by 11:59 p.m. CT.

Chapters will be notified by mid-March via email from our Member Experience Team.

Tri Delta staff members look forward to working with you and your chapter in early spring. Our goal is to provide you and your chapter with the tools and resources to ensure you can bring your best self to Delta Demos, including best practices, tips, tricks and coaching for you and your chapter. We appreciate your commitment to enhancing the Tri Delta member experience and can’t wait to work alongside our selected chapters this spring! 

Brenau: Words of Kindness
At the end of each chapter meeting, the CCP leads the chapter in “Words of Kindness,” where each member sends words of kindness to a specific chapter member or to the whole chapter. For example: “My words of kindness go out to my little because I loved getting lunch with you and talking about life this week.” It should be short, and it can be as simple as a “thank you” for something a sister helped you with that week. Since our chapter is small, each sister says her words of kindness aloud every week during chapter, but this idea can translate to bigger chapters as well. Perhaps the CCP randomly chooses a small group of sisters to give out words of kindness, or perhaps each sister can take time before or during chapter to type her words of kindness into a slack thread, and the CCP chooses a few to read aloud. Small moments of positive recognition can go a long way.

Florida: Deltas Declassified
Deltas Declassified is a booklet put together by the director of first year experience for the incoming new members. In Deltas Declassified there are letters from the president, new member education chair, director of first year experience and sisterhood chair. On top of letters from these officers, the booklet has a fall calendar so the new members have a place to refer to for events. One part of Deltas Declassified is “Delta Shelta” which details the sisters that live in the chapter facility and what room they live in. Each vice president has a page dedicated to their role and what new members need to know about our chapter including VPO, VPCPD, VPME, VPCR and director of financial operations. Also included is a page explaining St. Jude, how MOM and DOT works as well as Silvers, Golds, and Blues. There’s a page for Academic Excellence which is filled with two established sisters from each major and their contact information if new members need. There’s a public relations page that has all of our social media handles and the rules for social media detailed. Finally, there’s a glossary which explains specific words that pertain to our chapter and university.

Ohio Wesleyan: Active Listening & Growth Workshop
This workshop was co-created by our current VPO and one of the DEI co-directors at Delta Upsilon Chapter of Ohio Wesleyan University. This workshop was designed to encourage members to think about who they were in the past, who they are now, and who they want to be in the future. The active listening portion of this workshop teaches members how to listen to their sisters and their narrative stories with undivided attention. This workshop was also timed with primary recruitment in order to be able to provide members with these conversational tools when speaking with Potential New Members. By the end of the workshop, members are broken into small groups and given questions to reflect on their personal experiences and to listen to others. The ultimate goal of this experience is to pair members who do not know each other as well so that they can learn something new. 

Stetson: Well-Rounded With Wellness
Director of risk management and wellness implemented wellness events throughout the past year. Similar to sisterhood events, wellness events were events that all sisters could attend, but focused on different aspects of wellness. A few examples are goat yoga, spa day event, journaling event, and others. The goal of these events was to focus on the well-being of each member while educating sisters on the importance of self-love and wellness. 

Toronto: Engaging the Middle: Increasing Chapter Involvement and Communication
This program explains the concept of “engaging the middle” and offers five key suggestions to improve chapter member involvement and chapter communication. This program was inspired by events and experiences my chapter has gone through and that have made a positive impact on our sisterhood. After attending this program, members will feel inspired to apply these strategies to their own chapter and seek to improve chapter involvement and communication, therefore improving the overall membership experience. The topics in this presentation were key to my chapter’s success over the past school year and I feel that other chapters would strongly benefit from a program reflecting on them and the subject overall.
