A MESSAGE FROM
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
2025 Regional Leadership
Academy Recap
Delta Chi’s annual Regional Leadership
Academies (RLA) had record-breaking
attendance this year, indicating that our
chapter leaders are eager to gain valuable
education that can assist with chapter
operations. The creation of the RLA was
driven by a commitment to enhancing the
undergraduate experience within Delta Chi.
The primary objective is to better equip active
members with the skills and confidence to
lead their chapters and uphold the fraternity’s
values. This is accomplished by fostering
personal and professional growth in a
structured, impactful environment.
The RLAs spanned two weekends and four
cities, providing specialized training for all
chapter leaders alongside the prestigious
Delta Chi Dale Carnegie Scholars program.
Participants left the program with action plans
tailored to their chapter’s needs, covering
areas such as manpower growth, alumni
engagement, and chapter operations. The plans
were designed to help chapters implement
practical solutions and ensure accountability
through clear deadlines and support systems.
Noah Karr, Lake Forest Chapter, an RLA High
Achievement Award winner, said, “I thought
that the program taught everybody invaluable
skills. Easily one of the hardest things to do is
publicly speak, and I think the course lessened
everybody’s fear of that. From the interactive
lessons to the wonderful friendships I made
that weekend, to call such an event a success
would be an understatement. It was simply
amazing to have that opportunity, and
everyone involved has my sincere gratitude
for everything that they did.”
The Dale Carnegie Scholars also saw recordbreaking
engagement with 85 brothers
graduating from the program. The Delta Chi
Dale Carnegie Scholars program is an awardwinning
professional leadership development
experience offered to Delta Chi undergraduate
members. No other fraternal organization
provides this exclusive opportunity! Dale
Carnegie’s world-renowned program is
based on more than 100 years of experience
and is designed to build greater selfconfidence,
strengthen people skills, enhance
communication, develop leadership skills,
reduce stress, and improve attitudes.
2024 was a significant year of growth for
the Delta Chi Foundation. We had a recordbreaking
year raising funds for Delta Chi’s
programs, which continue to elevate the
member experience. A recent study showed
that 83% of fraternity members indicate
stronger leadership confidence as a result
of their fraternity membership. Delta Chi is
making big strides with the programs offered
to our members by upholding one of our core
values to “develop character.” Programs like
the Regional Leadership Academy and Dale
Carnegie Scholars better equip our members
to successfully lead their chapters and develop
much-needed leadership skills that benefit their
undergraduate experience and prepare them
for life after graduation.
Your donations to the Delta Chi Foundation are
more than financial contributions; they are
investments in our future. They support these
programs, making them more accessible for
our brothers, and they allow the Fraternity to
increase its attendance capacity. As alumni,
your support is integral to our growth, and we
have the opportunity to impact the Delta Chi
experience and contribute to programs that
promote friendship, develop character, advance
justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound
education.
We are deeply grateful for your past generosity
and support. Your belief in our mission has
been a driving force behind our success. Thank
you for believing in Delta Chi and for your
continued support.
In the Bond,
Justin Sherman
Executive Director
