Tips for getting the most out of your CLC weeked:
- Get some extra rest this week before you head to town.
- Stay hydrated throughout the weekend.
- Check the schedule beforehand and download the event app, EventMobi, at the beginning of April.
- Meet with your chapter’s CLC attendees to talk about your goals for the CLC experience.
- Take notes in your educational track.
- Network! This is a great opportunity to meet officers who are serving in the same role as you. Break away from your chapter members to sit with new people at meals and initiate conversations with volunteers and facilitators.
- Create a GroupMe at CLC with your track and cohort group to stay in touch after the event.
- Take lots of photos. Tag us on social media at @tridelta and use #DDDCLC.

What if I am required to attend but have a conflict?
Per the Attendance Policy late arrival, early departure or general absence requests must be submitted via email to your collegiate district officer (CDO) and collegiate chapter coordinator (CCCo) at least two weeks in advance to communicate and seek approval on any conflicts or factors that would impede your participation in the CLC sessions.
If I cannot attend CLC, can another chapter member attend in my place?
The comprehensive CLC experience is designed specifically for executive committee officers. Substitutions are allowed on a case-by-case basis. Due to the intentionality behind the overall curriculum and experience, substitutions should be considered with extreme care and thoughtfulness, in collaboration with the chapter’s collegiate volunteer team. Substitutions must be approved in advance by the chapter’s CDO and CCCo. Executive committee officers must attend their respective track and cannot replace another executive committee officer. For example, if the chapter’s CCP is unable to attend CLC, the VPO cannot serve as a substitute for the CCP. Questions can be directed to the chapter’s CDO and CCCo.
I have more questions, who should I ask?
Questions about CLC including registration, travel, hotel details and more can be sent to events@trideltaeo.org.
