KNIGHT ERRANT | THE DELTA CHI EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION<br />

Impact Report: Programs<br />

In a first-of-its-kind partnership, the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Fraternity has<br />

launched the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Dale Carnegie Scholars program. This<br />

partnership provides premier professional leadership development<br />

and skills-based training experiences to our collegiate<br />

and alumni members.<br />

In the program’s first year, one collegiate member from every<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> chapter across North America can earn college<br />

credit as they engage in the proven, eight-week Dale Carnegie<br />

Course®. These scholars will develop critical professional and<br />

life-leadership skills today’s employers are seeking, culminating<br />

in an exclusive Dale Carnegie certification.<br />

“We want every <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> – young and old – to have the<br />

opportunity to grow through the same coaching that Fortune 100<br />

companies invest in, and this program is just the start,” said<br />

Jerod Breit, former Executive Director & CEO. “We partnered<br />

with Dale Carnegie because they have a century of experience<br />

and a track record in developing leaders. This initiative will<br />

give our members a leg up in college and beyond as they<br />

pursue their dreams.”<br />

Dale Carnegie’s world-renowned program is based on more<br />

than 100 years of experience and is designed to build<br />

greater self-confidence, strengthen people skills, enhance<br />

communication, develop leadership skills, reduce stress,<br />

and improve attitudes.<br />

Each <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Dale Carnegie Scholar attended the program’s<br />

first session at one of the Fraternity’s 2023 Regional Leadership<br />

Conferences (RLCs). There, they met and engaged with a<br />

cohort of peers. After the RLC, the cohorts learned virtually<br />

through seven additional sessions during the spring term,<br />

building a supportive network while bolstering their resumes<br />

and the opportunity to earn official college credit.<br />

In addition to the Scholars program, all collegiate and alumni<br />

attendees at <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong>’s Regional Leadership Conferences<br />

benefited from a Dale Carnegie leadership workshop, introducing<br />

the program’s core tenants and broadening the impact<br />

of this partnership from the start. Throughout the year –<br />

free of charge – <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong>s can expect even more from the<br />

partnership with Dale Carnegie through four additional virtual<br />

programs and access to discounted Dale Carnegie courses.<br />

“Preparing men that are confident and ready to take on their<br />

professional pursuits is a priority in the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> Fraternity<br />

experience,” said “AA” Patrick Alderdice, International<br />

President. “We are proud Dale Carnegie chose <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Chi</strong> as<br />

a partner and proud to offer this life-changing opportunity<br />

to our members.”<br />
