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 />
