Delta Chi - Educational Foundation

tHe Delta CHi Fraternity 2021 strategiC Plan Alumni Engagement Delta Chi will strive to create a lifelong experience that provides continuity and leadership to the fraternity and value to the membership. By engaging alumni, Delta Chi will cultivate a lifelong opportunity by providing support to our undergraduate chapters and offering the alumnus an opportunity to experience brotherhood beyond the college years. Education Education enables Delta Chi to unify its experience, impress our values, and prepare our members for life. Education introduces and frames our expectations and values; it engages our members in a lifelong Delta Chi experience. Growth Delta Chi provides an outstanding fraternal experience. We will grow so that we advance our values and promote our experience. Civic Responsibility Fraternity is not only about connections between one another but our responsibility to connect and improve our communities and campuses as well. These responsibilities will recruit and retain better men who will continue to have a positive civic impact beyond college. Civic responsibility develops character and advances justice by creating duty and connection to positively impact the lives of others. VISION Delta Chi will create and cultivate a lifelong, values-based fraternal experience. MISSION Our mission is to promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education. D elta Chi cares about the full fraternity experience—from the first day of the associate member program, all the way through the many years of being an alumnus. The Fraternity's goal was to develop meaningful initiatives that would allow Delta Chi to grow in a manner that is consistent with our cardinal principles: promoting friendship, developing character, advancing justice, and assisting in the acquisition of a sound education. We believe these initiatives will aid Delta Chi in continuing to offer a premier fraternity bond to all of its members.

"This is a great opportunity for a chapter or alumni to recognize leadership potential in our undergraduates and offer them a chance to associate with other men of similar potential to learn and develop their God- given talent for their future benefit and the benefit of our chapters. This is an opportunity for Delta Chi to bring out the best in leaders of tomorrow." -Michael Carroll, Auburn '71 "This program will allow many more brothers to learn skills critical to their success in life and business. Simply put, there's few men who will have the opportunity to lead a chapter as an "A", whether due to timing, class schedules, internships/jobs, the voting process, or lack of interest. Everyone should have the opportunity to step up and say 'I'm motivated, teach me.'" -Lyle Sprinkle, Georgia Tech '96 The KnighT erranT PAGE 4
