Forging the Future Campaign Priorities
CAMPAIGN PRIORITIES
Innovation & Adaptability
As an organization focused on bettering mankind, Delta Tau Delta has always responded to the unmet needs occurring outside the classroom. Today, we must reinvest in those transformational experiences that can only be learned through participation in realworld experiences and in a supportive and nurturing living and learning environment.
Member Programming & Support is focused on the personal and professional development of members who, as a result, will have a positive impact on the life of their chapter and the Fraternity. Within this priority area you will find initiatives like the Presidents Excellence Institute, the Volunteer Coaching Summit, and our Health and Wellness initiatives.
Investment in member programming and support will allow the Fraternity and Foundation to provide programs and resources at the national level that have local impact both on individuals and chapters. This priority area is focused on the high impact practices that have the most positive outcomes. Through additional investment in this priority area, we can build on existing programs and expand on newly created programs. A strong scholarship program adds value to the national Fraternity by ensuring the resources necessary to keep young men enrolled are available and creates a competitive advantage in recruitment. Additionally, a program of this type provides tangible recognition for young men who are striving to lead lives of excellence while at the same time setting them up for a post-collegiate life with less educational debt.
As we forge a future for Delta Tau Delta that is bright with opportunity, we must consider the single largest barrier to membership—access. The ever-rising costs of a college education coupled with the declining enrollment of men, our chapters will be faced with recruiting from a smaller and smaller pool of prospective members unless we are part of the solution.
The Delta Tau Delta Educational Foundation is committed to building a robust scholarship and fellowship program that provides undergraduate men access to a college education and opportunities to augment that education with advanced developmental opportunities. Businesses around the globe invest in research and development to maintain market share, remain top in their industry, and meet the needs of their customers. For Delta Tau Delta our product is simple; we provide a transformative experience, that separates Delta Tau Delta from the rest of the fraternal world and develops boys into men who will lead with integrity.
Your investment will be used to develop new curriculum outside of budgets, deliver top speakers on urgent topics, conduct research and ensure that Delta Tau Delta is at the forefront of all organizations on campus. To our knowledge, no other Fraternity today has the ambition to revolutionize the membership experience through designated funding. Without these resources, Delta Tau Delta will lose the opportunity to recruit the best and brightest, develop critical skillsets, and position us as THE top membership experience on campus. Our goal is to use research, best practices, and industry trends to anticipate needs in advance of their necessity, Forging the Future of Delta Tau Delta in a way unseen in any other fraternal organization.
